Custom Pack Studio designs, proofs and prints bespoke packaging for Liverpool businesses from our own factory in Irvine, with no minimum order on anything we produce.
A mass-market packaging platform will take a small order, but the box still comes from a fixed template. A local printer can turn a job around fast. Certification for food packaging and the equipment to engineer a box for something fragile are a different matter.
We make the full range of packaging products: printed packaging, custom cardboard boxes, rigid boxes and the packaging supplies that finish an order.
That covers everything from simple packaging boxes and box packaging for shipping through to fully custom box packaging for retail. Whatever your packaging needs, our team helps you create custom packaging built around your own product.
We build every box around the product itself, whether that’s a single sample or a full production run.
Custom Pack Studio is backed by BRC Global Packaging, and use FSC and PEFC certificated sources. Our parent company has made print and packaging in Scotland since 1997, for quality printing every time.
Packaging ready before your stock lands
We start on the structure and print as soon as you have a product to pack, long before the shipment itself arrives.
A proof gets signed off in advance, so the boxes are printed and waiting when the shipment lands.
Retail cartons and rigid boxes
Reverse tuck-end cartons have flaps that tuck in at top and bottom, which suits lighter items such as cosmetics and haircare. Crash-lock bottom boxes have a base that locks flat, giving heavier products more support.
The right choice depends on weight and how the product sits on a shelf. We’ll help you pick between single wall and double wall corrugated cardboard once we know what you’re packing.
These options cover most packaging for retail, and custom sizes mean nothing gets forced into an off-the-shelf format to fit your product needs.
Custom printed boxes for e-commerce and fulfilment
We supply mailer boxes to online sellers across Liverpool, including independent brands based around the Baltic Triangle.
A custom printed mailer box survives the courier network and gives the customer something better than a plain outer to open.
Printed inside and out, it does some of the marketing for you on every order that goes out, giving Liverpool businesses a premium finish that standard packaging can’t match. This branded packaging is high-quality custom work, not a premium custom packaging upsell tacked onto a standard template.
It’s the same high-quality custom boxes whether you order fifty or five thousand.
Gusseted formats, boxes with expandable side folds, add extra depth for bulkier or oddly shaped items, so nothing shifts loose in transit.
Bespoke printed gift boxes and corrugated cartons
Gift boxes with foil stamping, embossing or a soft-touch finish suit products that need to feel premium before the lid is even lifted.
Slide-on sleeves and wallet-style boxes work well for shorter runs, and corrugated boxes handle anything heavier that needs to survive a longer journey.
Bespoke printed boxes and custom made boxes in unique finishes suit brands after packaging for retail display as well as protection. This gives your product a new appeal.
No minimum order, from one sample to a full container run
We set no minimum order at all, from a single custom-printed box upward. A figure of 500 or 1,000 units is difficult to commit to before a product has reached UK shelves or sold a single unit online.
Order one box to check the print quality, fifty for a soft launch, or several thousand once your first shipment confirms the demand is there. Unit costs fall as the quantity rises, and every reorder uses the same artwork, so growing the order never means paying to design the packaging twice.
It’s what lets us help Liverpool businesses throughout the city get custom packaging boxes without a bulk commitment, whether you’re based near the docks or further out across Merseyside.
A certified packaging supplier, UK-manufactured
As a packaging supplier, we work with food brands as often as we work with retail and e-commerce sellers, and BRC, FSC and PEFC certification covers everything we make. Our packaging services and the packaging materials behind them are certified from board through to the finished box.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level. That matters if you’re producing food packaging, drinks cartons or anything in direct contact with what a customer eats or drinks. That certification opens the door to retailers who require it before listing a product, which a template printing platform usually can’t provide.
Every box is 100% recyclable. That board can be traced back through an audited supply chain to a responsibly managed forest.
We avoid plastic coatings unless food safety calls for them, and we’ll say so plainly when that trade-off applies. The factory itself sits in Irvine, run by our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, which has produced print and packaging since 1997.
Packaging design help if you don’t have anything ready
You don’t need a finished design to start. If you’ve already got print-ready artwork, send it through our online design tool and we’ll check the ink colours and resolution hold up on board.
Working from just a logo and a rough idea is just as common, especially for a product still moving through customs.
Our team will work out the box structure, prepare the print-ready files, and talk you through material choices in plain language.
A design consultation is available if you’d rather talk it through before your stock is even confirmed.
Think of it as a packaging design partner for the parts of the process you’d rather not handle alone.
Delivering custom packaging near Liverpool and the North West
Our factory sits in Irvine, roughly three and a half hours north of Liverpool by road. That distance runs the same whether you’re based near the docks, in the Baltic Triangle, or further out towards Speke, Bootle or Wavertree.
Most orders are ready two to three weeks after you approve a proof.
From there, fast delivery reaches any Liverpool postcode, and businesses across the Mersey in Birkenhead and the wider Wirral get the same timeline.
If you have a tight or narrow schedule, get in touch with our team. We try our best to time dispatch around your own shipping schedule.
For a packaging partner that integrates into your business schedule and doesn’t force you to work around it, trust Custom Pack Studio with your packaging requirements.

Custom packaging Liverpool: your questions answered
Where can I get custom packaging in Liverpool?
Custom Pack Studio manufactures every box at our own factory in Irvine and delivers to Liverpool and across the UK. You don’t need a Liverpool-based supplier to get packaging built around your product. Most of the process runs by phone, email and proof approval.
How much does custom packaging cost?
Cost depends on the box format, size, print complexity and quantity, so there’s no single fixed price. Pricing scales with volume, and a run of fifty costs more per unit than a run of a thousand, with competitive prices at every quantity. We give a written quote before anything starts, with no obligation to order.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No. You can order a single box to test print quality or several thousand for a full launch, with everything in between. That flexibility suits Liverpool businesses waiting on a first shipment just as much as ones already trading at volume.
What materials and finishes are available?
Most boxes are built from single wall or double wall corrugated cardboard, or folding box board for lighter cartons. Kraft-style uncoated finishes are available where a natural, unbleached look suits the brand. Foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination are available on premium formats like gift boxes.
Can you help with design if I don’t have a designer?
Yes. Bring a logo and a rough idea, and our team will take it through to print-ready artwork. You can also build a first draft yourself using the online 3D design tool before handing it over to our experts.
What’s the turnaround time for an order?
Most orders are ready two to three weeks after you approve the proof, with UK delivery taking a further day or two from dispatch. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we’ll be straight about whether it’s realistic.
Do you offer eco-friendly or sustainable packaging?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates wherever food safety allows, and among our eco-friendly custom packaging options we can print certification marks on the packaging if sustainability credentials matter to your customers.
