What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging entirely around your individual product. Your idea guides the story, defining the required size, format, printing and surface finish.
Applying a logo on a ready-made carton represents a separate and far more narrow undertaking.
Curious how true customisation looks like? We saw every dimension to your product, choose the specific board weight for its journey, and splash striking print onto any panels you choose!
Are you ready to be impressed? From the very first drawing, we effectively sculpt the packaging around the product!
From its innovative hub in Lochwinnoch, Custom Pack Studio partners with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We create a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly producing your personal design in vibrant, full colour finish.
The most suitable packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, sales approach, and delivery journey, and our specialists will advise your selection.
Folding cartons
Commercial products typically use crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packaging formats.
Designed with top and bottom closure flaps that fit in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers an effective packaging solution for lighter products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Designed with a self-locking base that secures flat upon opening, the crash-lock box reliably supports weightier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and assemble quickly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce stores, custom mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your brand image.
By featuring bespoke artwork on each surface, these robust postal cartons turn routine deliveries into captivating tactile stories that far surpass the banality of traditional packaging.
We also make gusseted e-commerce boxes, which neatly house items requiring a more adaptable or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an sophisticated branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, offering an exceptionally practical and economical solution for short-term seasonal lines and select limited-edition releases.
Designed to envelop your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an elegant and flat display that is ideally suited for displaying cards, prints and slim retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes provide the refined presentation retail customers expect for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to cover anything.
First, choose rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to craft premium packaging that readily warrants a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service provides comprehensive design support at every stage of your artwork development.
When you supply us with your current brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will carefully adhere to these requirements to ready your final files for the manufacturing process.
To prepare your packaging for press, we reconstruct any logo provided as a JPEG or other image format because real-world manufacturing needs a much higher resolution than online platforms demand.
Starting from a basic early concept, our specialists develop your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, developing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.
As another option, you could use our online creator to personalise a carton and add your own logo before reaching out, or schedule a creative meeting if you prefer discussing your ideas beforehand.

Custom packaging Lochwinnoch FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is carefully engineered to align with the precise dimensions and particular requirements of your item. Each structural element, including the size, material density, arrangement, and visual detailing, is fully tailored for the contents to ensure a secure fit while tastefully representing your identity.

Is there a minimum order?
Not at all. There are no minimum quantities on any option, so you can request a single box or many thousands. This pathway supports solo creators and anybody testing a new product. Estimates vary with order size, and you receive a quote in writing before production.
