What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging fully around your specific product. Your idea directs the design, determining the precise size, build, printwork and final finish.
Attaching a logo onto a ready-made carton represents a separate and considerably more restricted undertaking.
Curious how true customisation looks like? We cut every dimension to your product, select the specific board weight for its journey, and splash stunning print onto any panels you choose!
The development of the packaging commences in parallel with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
From its design hub in Mauchline, Custom Pack Studio works with dedicated food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We make an broad variety of bespoke packaging styles, each made to your exact dimensions and supplied with high-quality, full colour custom printing.
The ideal packaging design for your item depends on its physical nature, sales approach, and delivery journey, and our specialists will advise your selection.
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses frequently utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the upper and lower flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging option for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Crash lock boxes include a self-assembling base that secures instantly upon opening to support bulkier items, whilst both designs ship flat for fast manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those retailing online, a custom mailer box secures your creation throughout its arduous journey. Suddenly, a simple delivery becomes an memorable chapter of your brand story.
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a simple transit package into a lasting unboxing journey whilst maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
Are you looking for extra depth or slightly more flexibility? We also make excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes designed for those requirements!
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an elegant branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, delivering an remarkably useful and economical solution for seasonal periodic lines and special limited-edition releases.
Made to envelop your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an refined and flat display that is perfectly suited for showcasing cards, prints and slim retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Whenever goods are acquired as gifts, a tailor-made gift box provides the elegant appearance that customers look for whilst removing the requirement for any self-wrapping.
Rigid boxes, magnetic-lid boxes and decorated inserts are very effective options, while finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation into luxury packaging that effectively warrants a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service happily includes full design assistance as a standard feature, whatever your current artwork stage.
On receipt of your defined corporate guidelines and production-ready designs, we will diligently adapt our processes to these specifications and ready your assets for ultimate manufacture.
To prepare your packaging materials for print, we recreate any logo provided as a JPEG or other image format because physical manufacturing demands a much higher resolution than screen-based platforms require.
Are you beginning with just a spark of an inspiration? Our expert crew will plan out the full packaging template alongside your production-ready graphics, even engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply won’t suffice! We warmly guide you through every single technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you may use our design software to personalise a packaging solution and include your bespoke corporate identity prior to starting contact, or otherwise book a creative appointment should you want to talk through your requirements beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard

We source all of our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, guaranteeing that each individual sheet is completely traceable through a carefully audited chain of custody directly back to responsibly managed forests.
Commonly used for posting and dispatch, sturdy corrugated board provides effective protection while staying one of the most frequently recycled packaging materials in the UK.
We are steadily removing single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations because these materials create major reprocessing challenges and generate considerable environmental damage once discarded.
When the structural planning allows, we recommend that you use environmentally responsible paper-based or reusable protective materials whilst actively removing unnecessary resources from the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging generally requires a minimum commitment of 500 or 1,000 items.
When a company tries a new product or sets out a limited seasonal range, they must pay for both inventory and storage costs long before any sales are assured.
By imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to choose the precise volume required, ranging from one box to a production run of ten thousand, thereby helping to making sure that an opening modest batch serves as a very cost-effective method to evaluate marketplace demand.
We regularly confirm the pricing in writing for any quantity before production gets under way. As repeat orders use the same artwork, scaling up never requires redesigning the packaging.
