What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically and carefully for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, build, design and coating.
Adding a logo to a pre-made box is still a different and much more limited process.
By choosing our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions suited to your item, relevant board durability chosen for its intended journey, and personalised printing on your preferred surfaces.
The development of the packaging starts concurrently with the initial stage of the product design phase.
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Livingston.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an broad variety of bespoke packaging designs, each crafted to your specific dimensions and finished with high-quality, vibrant custom printing.
How does your amazing creation actually get to your buyers? The ideal packaging style always depends on those unique sales and shipping journeys, and our dedicated squad is ready to help you choose the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses routinely utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
The reverse tuck end carton features top and bottom closure flaps bending in opposite directions, making it well suited for lightweight merchandise such as toiletries and supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box reliably supports heavier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Custom mailer boxes secure your e-commerce products during transit and turn standard shipping into a powerful marketing tool.
With bespoke printing on all surfaces, these mailer boxes elevate the usual digital retail transaction into a luxury tactile event whilst preserving the structural integrity required to survive the pressures of transit.
Our team also manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for consignments needing more depth or adaptable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on style sleeves enclose your products or internal tray to provide quick branding whilst preserving your existing packaging, offering an efficient and cost-effective solution for promotional products and temporary stock.
This wallet-style box encases the item like a folder to create a smooth and upmarket display for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We manufacture entirely recyclable boxes utilising the inherent properties of the board used.

Custom packaging Livingston FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging aligns with your product sizes and requirements exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are designed to your cargo to ensure a precise fit and support your brand. Applying a logo onto a standard carton merely creates bespoke packaging. True custom packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Not at all. There are no minimum minimum quantities on any option, so you can request a single box or many thousands. This approach supports independent makers and those testing a new piece. Estimates increase with volume, and you receive a written quote before production.
Do you deliver to Livingston?
By manufacturing our products in Irvine and delivering them directly to commercial clients throughout Livingston, we ensure that manufacturing within Scotland effectively reduces both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have signed off on the design, we typically require two to three weeks to produce your packaging, though more straightforward boxes can often be produced more quickly. Should you have a critical date in mind, please provide it during your initial enquiry so we can immediately determine if we can accommodate it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly transform a simple logo and initial concept into finished print files, offering a clear design consultation as part of this journey. You can additionally take the initial step yourself using our online design tool before passing the work over to us when you are prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton consists entirely of 100% recyclable paperboard certified by both the FSC and PEFC. We reject plastic coatings and finishes that stop recycling unless food safety requires their use, and we review all available alternatives with you in advance.
