What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is precisely created to accommodate a certain item, allowing you to select the size, the layout, the designs and the ultimate coating.
Conversely, adding a personalised logo onto a standard, pre-made carton is a separate task with limited customization options.
Our definition of a fully adaptable box involves that we carefully tailor the dimensions to suit your individual product, choose the best board weight based on likely handling, and print print to whichever panels you need.
Are you ready to be impressed? From the very first drawing, we literally shape the packaging around the product!
From its creative hub in Lochgelly, Custom Pack Studio works with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an extensive selection of bespoke packaging options, each made to your precise dimensions and finished with excellent, vibrant custom printing.
How does your amazing creation actually reach your customers? The ideal packaging style always depends on those individual sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is eager to help you select the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
Conventional shop packaging regularly uses the common types 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 ideal for lightweight merchandise such as beauty products and nutritional supplements.
Ready for some packaging magic? Those clever crash-lock boxes feature a clever base that clicks securely into place the very second you unfold them! This sturdy design effortlessly supports your bulkiest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles arrive completely flat and take only a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For online stores, tailored mailing boxes safeguard products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your brand image.
By utilising double-sided printing, a customised mailer box raises the standard delivery into a very professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
We also produce gusseted ecommerce boxes, giving the right, roomy fit for items requiring a more generous or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket envelops a brand item or an inner container to offer clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an highly efficient and affordable refinement for short-term lines and exclusive releases.
Made to wrap around your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an attractive and level display that is perfectly suited for showcasing cards, prints and slim retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When buying items destined as tokens, utilising a tailored presentation box elevates the overall look to match consumer expectations whilst entirely removing the need for manual wrapping.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then add finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to craft premium packaging that easily warrants a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our offering gladly includes full design assistance as part of the standard service, regardless of your current artwork stage.
On receipt of your established corporate guidelines and final designs, we will closely adapt our processes to these specifications and prepare your assets for end manufacture.
We prepare supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print production because packaging demands more resolution than digital platforms demand.
From your initial flash of ideas, our dedicated team shapes bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, developing custom sizes when no standard box fits. Your vision guides us. We explain the key technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we work.
Why not make use of our brilliant online design tool to set up a box and add your branding today, or simply book a friendly design consultation if you would rather discuss it first?

Custom packaging Lochgelly FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is produced to the specific sizes and requirements of your item. The measurements, thickness of the material, construction, layout, and coating are all matched to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits closely and presents your corporate identity. Merely placing a emblem onto a standard stock carton constitutes bespoke packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the very beginning.
Is there a minimum order?
We set minimal minimum order limits on any format, meaning you are welcome to purchase a one carton or many thousands. Such freedom is perfect for independent creators and those undertaking initial product trials. Our rates decrease as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Lochgelly?
Our production facility in Irvine supplies business clients across Lochgelly. Producing our products within Scotland ensures we keep down both turnaround times and transport expenses for businesses in the north.
What are your lead times?
After you confirm your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically takes a fortnight to three weeks, though simple carton designs often proceed more quickly. If your project be bound by an firm deadline, please disclose this requirement during your initial consultation so we may definitively verify our capacity to meet your timescale.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely turn a straightforward concept and logo into finished, print ready files, including a specialist design consultation along the way. Or, you can start the project yourself using our virtual creator before transferring it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Produced from FSC and PEFC certified board, each box is fully recyclable. We purposefully steer clear of plastic laminates and coatings that interfere with this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always talk through your options first.
