Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions suited to your item, material strength matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print printed on your chosen panels.
The development of the packaging commences at the same time with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
We really love partnering with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We produce an wide variety of bespoke packaging designs, each tailored to your specific dimensions and completed with premium, full colour custom printing.
Selecting the best-fitting template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the traditional packaging formats.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck-end carton beautifully supports more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports bulkier items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are delivered flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those retailing online, a tailored mailer box secures your creation throughout its arduous journey. Instantly, a simple delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
By using double-sided printing, a customised mailer box lifts the normal delivery into a highly professional unboxing event for e-commerce customers, whilst preserving the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
We additionally manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes, which perfectly fit items that require a greater or more adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve slides smoothly over the product or inside tray to quickly introduce bold branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, delivering an incredibly effective and cost-effective solution for showcasing special seasonal lines and special-edition releases.
This wallet-style box encases the item like a file folder to create a sleek and upmarket presentation for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items purchased as presents, utilising bespoke gift packaging provides the polished finish your customers looks for while eliminating the stress of wrapping.
First, pick rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then add finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to craft premium packaging that simply justifies a higher price point.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each item we produce stays entirely appropriate for reuse, and this environmentally responsible characteristic comes directly from the composition of the board itself.
We source all of our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each individual sheet is fully traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to sustainably managed forests.
Mailers and shipping packaging formats utilise corrugated board because this extremely durable material protects products and remains one of the most frequently recycled packaging options in Macduff.
Our business is actively phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam frequently employed for packaging void fill, throughout our day-to-day procedures due to the major challenges these materials present for recycling and the resulting environmental damage they cause when discarded.
Whenever planning allows, our recommendation is to utilise eco-friendly paper based or recyclable protective materials whilst actively cutting out unnecessary resources from the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand

When businesses try out a recent item or launch a short advertising series, they run the risk of buying inventory and warehousing space prior to confirming consumer demand.

Applying a logo onto a standard carton merely creates bespoke packaging. True custom packaging is designed around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose minimal minimum limits on any format, meaning you are able to acquire a single carton or large quantities. This freedom is perfect for independent creators and those starting initial product trials. Our rates decrease as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
