What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is precisely created to accommodate a specific item, giving you the option to pick the size, the setup, the graphics and the final finish.
Applying a logo to a ready-made carton is a separate and much more narrow project.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions appropriate for your item, the strength of the material matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
To begin with, we carefully draw up the packaging around the product from the beginning of the design process.
We absolutely adore working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the UK!
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture a wide-ranging selection of box styles, each tailored to custom dimensions and completely printed with your distinctive branding artwork.
Determining the most suitable template for your merchandise rests solely upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will guide you through selecting.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to discover the true classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ideal everyday packaging formats that every retail shelf needs!
The reverse tuck-end carton includes top and bottom closure flaps folding in opposite directions, which makes it suitable for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and supplements.
Ready for some packaging magic? Such brilliant crash-lock boxes feature a smart base that locks snugly into place the very second you open them! This strong design easily supports your heaviest items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles ship completely flat and take only a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, bespoke mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst transforming the delivery process into an extension of your brand image.
By showcasing bespoke artwork on all surfaces, these durable postal cartons convert routine deliveries into engaging tactile stories that far surpass the plainness of conventional packaging.
Also, we manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes for products requiring greater depth or an flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve slides effortlessly over the product or inside tray to quickly introduce bold branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, offering an remarkably clever and budget-friendly solution for showcasing special seasonal lines and special-edition releases.
Crafted to encase the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an stylish flat display for shop goods, photographs and paper goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items purchased as presents, using bespoke gift packaging delivers the premium finish your clientele anticipates while removing the stress of wrapping.
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fill this space perfectly, whilst luxury finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately enhance the presentation to luxury packaging that smoothly commands a better price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design support continues an essential component of our service, regardless of the ongoing stage of your artwork.
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will closely adapt our procedures to those requirements to prepare your files for final production.
When a brand mark is supplied in a bitmap or different image format, we carefully reproduce it for production needs because tangible packaging demands a substantially greater degree of image clarity than a online platform needs.
Are you beginning with just a hint of an concept? Our expert crew will plan out the complete packaging template with your production-ready graphics, also engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply won’t suffice! We enthusiastically guide you through every single technical decision from material density to final image quality as your new concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you can use our digital creation space to personalise a carton and preview your logo prior to contacting the team, or just arrange an aesthetic session if you prefer to discuss your ideas beforehand.

Custom Pack Studio functions as a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer establishing print and packaging solutions in Scotland since 1997.
Our specialist team creates your boxes on their own presses to ensure that the print and finish fulfil the standards of an established producer.
To ensure complete accuracy, you will be provided with both a hard-copy sample if required by the format and a digital proof before we commence the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We make each one of our boxes to be entirely recyclable, a eco-conscious quality that originates entirely from the natural composition of the board itself.
We source our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC approved origins, ensuring that each sheet stays fully auditable via a verified chain of custody straight through to sustainably governed woodlands.
As a extremely resilient and protective option for posting and shipping, corrugated board represents one of the heavily recycled packaging materials used across the country.
We are systematically eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as void fill, from our operations. This is because these materials are not easy to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
When the structural planning allows, our recommendation is to use sustainable paper-based or recyclable protective materials whilst proactively eliminating surplus resources from the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging generally requires a minimum order of 500 or 1,000 items.
When a enterprise evaluates a fresh commodity or creates a small ceremonial collection, they face initial expenses for inventory and warehousing prior to establishing market demand.
By imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we enable you to pick the precise volume required, ranging from a single box to a production run of 10,000, thereby guaranteeing that an first limited batch serves as a highly cost-effective method to evaluate marketplace demand.
We confirm all charges in writing prior to production, whilst later runs utilise identical layouts to support seamless brand growth.

Custom packaging Maybole FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging fits your product measurements and details exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to provide a precise fit and showcase your brand. Applying 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?
We impose no minimum minimum order requirements, so you can order anything from one carton to many thousands. This versatility helps indie makers and companies trying out new merchandise. Your unit cost decreases as your order volume grows, and we always supply a written price estimation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Maybole?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility provides for enterprises in Maybole. Nearby production reduces wait times and transport expenses for regional brands._
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require 2 to 3 weeks for completion, though simpler cartons are often produced more quickly. Should you have a specific date to meet, please inform us during your first enquiry so we can verify if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely transform a basic concept and logo into finished, ready-to-print files, including a specialist design consultation along the way. Alternatively, you can start the project yourself using our virtual creator before passing it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is fully recyclable and made from accredited forest board holding the two FSC and PEFC accreditations. We intentionally avoid plastic laminates and coatings which prevent successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations require otherwise, regularly detailing every available alternative beforehand.
