What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously crafted to suit your specific product because you keep full creative authority over the dimensions, the structure, the printing and the final finish.
Using a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging constitutes a separate task that allows far less creative flexibility.
Our interpretation of a fully bespoke box is that we tailor the measurements carefully to your products, pick the material thickness based on transit demands, and print your graphics to the surfaces you choose.
From the very inception of design phase, the final packaging is carefully tailored to encase the product itself.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food manufacturers, cosmetics businesses, online retailers and craft distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to bring your packaging dreams to life? We manufacture a great selection of box styles, all custom-made to your specific dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
Choosing the ideal presentation for your item is a process dictated by its specific nature, sales channel, and ultimate delivery, a process our dedicated specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
Shop items typically utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packaging formats.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck-end carton attractively cradles light items like cosmetics and supplements.
Built with a self-forming base that secures flat upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully carries bulkier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations ship flat and assemble quickly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online merchants, a tailored mailing carton safeguards your merchandise whilst in transit during transit and lifts the unboxing experience into a central element of your marketing.
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a plain transit package into a memorable unboxing journey while maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
In addition, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for products demanding more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on style sleeves encase your goods or internal tray to deliver quick branding whilst preserving your original packaging, giving an effective and cost-effective solution for promotional products and temporary stock.
This wallet style box encases the item like a folder to create a elegant and upmarket presentation for your cards, prints and flat retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a custom gift box delivers the beautiful packaging that customers look for while fully saving them the task of gift wrapping.
This tailored presentation is easily achieved through carefully structured presentation boxes, sleek magnetic closures, and bespoke inserts, whilst elegant embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and velvety soft touch coatings effectively elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a more premium market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our support readily includes full design assistance as part of the standard service, no matter your current artwork stage.
On receipt of your defined corporate guidelines and final designs, we will carefully tailor our processes to these specifications and ready your assets for ultimate manufacture.
We reconstruct supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for production printing because packaging requires higher resolution than digital platforms need.
Starting from a simple early concept, our specialists develop your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, designing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers do not suffice. We clarify every technical specification throughout the process, including material thickness and image definition.
Utilise our online design tool to customise your box and add branding independently, or book a consultation today if you prefer discuss the project first.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We craft each one of our boxes to be completely recyclable, a environmentally friendly quality that stems entirely from the natural composition of the board itself.
By sourcing our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, we help ensure each sheet remains fully traceable through an checked pathway to sustainably managed forests.
As a highly robust and defensive solution for posting and shipping, corrugated board represents one of the most widely recycled packaging materials used across the UK.
We are carefully removing disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is since these materials are not easy to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
Whenever planning permits, we advise you to utilise environmentally responsible paper based or reusable protective materials whilst actively removing excess resources from the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging generally requires a minimum order of 500 or 1,000 items.
Introducing a new product or printing limited seasonal runs requires businesses to finance stock and storage before making any sales.
By imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to choose the specific volume required, ranging from one box to a production run of 10,000, thus ensuring that an opening small batch serves as a highly cost-effective method to evaluate marketplace demand.

Custom packaging Milngavie FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is made carefully around the individual dimensions and specifications of your item. Each detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is curated for your specific contents, ensuring a flawless fit that shows your corporate identity with pride. While merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation shapes the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose minimal minimum order limits on any format, meaning you are free to acquire a one carton or thousands. Such freedom is ideal for small-scale creators and those undertaking initial product trials. Our rates fall as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Milngavie?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility supplies enterprises in Milngavie. Nearby production reduces lead times and delivery costs for local brands._
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require a couple of weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. Should you have a specific date to meet, please inform us during your first enquiry so we can check if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often begin our design journey with nothing more than a brand emblem and a passing concept, developing your early thoughts into fully realised production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is integrated into this service to guide your direction. Or, you can embark on the process alone by utilising our digital design platform before handing the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each package consists entirely of 100% recyclable board approved by both the FSC and PEFC. We reject plastic laminates and coatings that stop recycling unless food safety necessitates their use, and we discuss all available choices with you beforehand.
