What custom packaging means
We produce custom packaging built fully around your individual product by offering you full control over the size, style, print and finish!
Applying a logo to a ready-made carton constitutes a separate and far more limited undertaking.
Our understanding of a fully customisable box entails that we precisely tailor the dimensions to suit your specific product, select the ideal board weight based on expected handling, and print print to whichever panels you need.
The development of the packaging commences at the same time with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
From its creative hub in Middleton Park, Custom Pack Studio partners with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture diverse box styles to your format specifications. Each order includes bespoke sizing and vibrant full colour printing of your unique branding.
The ideal packaging design for your item hinges on its physical nature, sales method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will guide your selection.
Folding cartons
For regular shop merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the conventional packaging set-ups.
With a reverse tuck end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging option for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports substantial items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are provided flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce stores, bespoke mailing boxes protect products during transit whilst making the delivery process into an extension of your brand identity.
By showcasing bespoke artwork on each surface, these sturdy postal cartons transform routine deliveries into compelling tactile stories that far surpass the dull familiarity of conventional packaging.
We additionally produce gusseted e-commerce boxes, which perfectly accommodate items requiring a greater or more adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an elegant branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, delivering an exceptionally convenient and cost-effective solution for seasonal seasonal lines and select limited-edition releases.
This wallet-style box surrounds the item like a file folder to offer a elegant and upmarket presentation for your cards, prints and flat retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When products are acquired as gifts, a bespoke gift box delivers the stylish packaging that buyers expect whilst eliminating the necessity for any self-wrapping.
Can you imagine the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They occupy the space seamlessly, whilst high-end finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately enhance the presentation to high-end packaging that smoothly commands a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design support continues an integral component of our support, whatever the ongoing progress stage of your artwork.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files prepared? We’ll jump right in to ready your designs for the final manufacturing stage!
Sites are highly forgiving, yet printed packaging calls for absolute precision. For this reason, every logo supplied as a JPEG or different image file must be meticulously rebuilt before printing.
Are you beginning with just a spark of an inspiration? Our expert crew will map out the complete packaging template together with your production-ready graphics, further engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply won’t suffice! We enthusiastically guide you through every one technical decision from material density to final image quality as your original concept comes to life.
Utilise our online design tool to set up your box and apply branding independently, or schedule a consultation at a later stage if you would rather discuss the project first.

Sustainable packaging as standard
