What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging entirely around your singular product. Your concept shapes the design, setting the required dimensions, format, printing and finish.
Applying a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging is a distinct task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions suited to your item, packaging strength suited to your shipping requirements, and custom print applied to your chosen panels.
From the very first spark of design, the packaging is thoughtfully envisioned to embrace the product.
Custom Pack Studio works with food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Lockerbie.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to turn your packaging vision into reality? We produce a fantastic variety of box styles, custom-made to your exact dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your own artwork!
How does your amazing creation actually reach your customers? The perfect packaging style typically depends on those unique sales and shipping journeys, and our passionate squad is ready to help you select the best match!
Folding cartons
For standard retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the conventional packaging formats.
Designed with top and bottom closure flaps that insert in contrary directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers an ideal packaging solution for less heavy products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
First, simply open the crash-lock box so the sturdy base slots into place. This reliable design simply takes larger products, whilst both formats arrive flat and put together in seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you currently trading online? A bespoke mailer box will protect your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery into a thrilling brand experience!
With bespoke printing on every surfaces, these mailer boxes elevate the ordinary digital retail transaction into a premium tactile event whilst retaining the structural integrity required to endure the demands of transit.
Are you looking for extra depth or some extra flexibility? We additionally produce fantastic gusseted e-commerce boxes designed for those requirements!
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve offers an sophisticated branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, delivering an remarkably useful and affordable solution for short-term limited lines and exclusive limited-edition releases.
This wallet-style box encases the item like a file folder to create a smooth and upmarket presentation for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items bought as gift items, using bespoke gift packaging offers the premium finish your clients expects while eliminating the trouble of wrapping.
Sturdy rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and bespoke inserts are well suited to Lockerbie. Using premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or tactile soft-touch lamination will lift this range to warrant an increased retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our company offers comprehensive creative guidance at every stage of your artwork development.
On receipt of your existing corporate guidelines and production-ready designs, we will carefully tailor our processes to these specifications and arrange your assets for ultimate manufacture.
As packaging demands significantly greater resolution than digital display , we need to rebuild any provided JPEG or alternative image file format for print purposes.
Beginning with merely a simple concept, our specialists design the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while producing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We clarify each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.

A packaging supplier perfect for Lockerbie businesses
Every single item is made by our team at our in-house studio based in Irvine, within the county of Ayrshire.
We help Lockerbie enterprises by maintaining fast lead times and keeping down transport fees.
Our delivery network covers Lockerbie alongside the whole of the United Kingdom, helping to ensure that farther enterprises benefit from the same quick lead times received by those situated just 20 minutes from our production facility.
As an integral arm of KennedySmith Press Ltd, Custom Pack Studio is underpinned by an established Scottish packaging manufacturer that has been working in high-quality print and packaging production since 1997.
Your packaging is produced by that specific group using their own machinery, ensuring the resulting finish and refinement conform with the demanding criteria of a experienced producer.
To guarantee absolute correctness, you will obtain both a tangible sample where required by the format and a online proof before we begin the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we make remains entirely ideal for recycling, and this environmentally responsible feature derives directly from the composition of the board itself.
We source all of our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each individual sheet is completely traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to well-managed forests.
Used widely for postal cartons and mailing boxes, corrugated board provides strong protection whilst remaining one of the commonly recycled packaging mediums across the country.
We are systematically phasing out single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations because these materials create severe reprocessing challenges and generate considerable environmental damage once discarded.
Whenever designs allow, we champion sustainable paper or reusable protection, choosing to design out waste thereby.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging typically requires a minimum order of 500 or 1,000 items.
Are you trialling an innovative fresh idea or printing a limited seasonal line? That involves covering stock and holding beforehand before you even find out it sells!
Through imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we enable you to pick the exact volume required, ranging from one box to a production run of 10,000, thus making sure that an opening limited batch serves as a economical method to evaluate marketplace demand.

Custom packaging Lockerbie FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging matches your product measurements and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to provide a precise fit and promote your brand. Adding a logo onto a standard carton merely creates bespoke packaging. True made-to-order packaging is designed around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Certainly not! You can order one solitary box or thousands because we have no minimum order requirements on any of our formats. Isn’t that just perfect for individual makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? As expected, the costing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an formal written quote before we commence production.
Do you deliver to Lockerbie?
By making our products in Irvine and supplying them directly to commercial clients throughout Lockerbie, we help ensure that manufacturing within Scotland effectively reduces both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
After you confirm your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically needs a two weeks to three weeks, though uncomplicated carton designs often progress more rapidly. If your project have an uncompromising deadline, please state this requirement during your initial consultation so we may clearly verify our capacity to meet your timescale.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly turn a simple concept and logo into completed, print-ready files, incorporating a dedicated design consultation during the process. As an alternative, you can initiate the project yourself using our virtual creator before passing it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Made from FSC and PEFC certified board, each box is fully recyclable. We deliberately omit plastic laminates and coatings that impede this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always discuss your options first.
