What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging especially for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
Attaching a logo to a preassembled box is still a separate and much more restricted process.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions appropriate for your item, the strength of the material matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
We design the packaging design carefully around the product from the initial stage.
From its creative hub in Milton of Campsie, Custom Pack Studio partners with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the UK.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a wide-ranging range of box styles, each tailored to custom dimensions and fully finished with your distinctive branding artwork.
Establishing the most suitable presentation for your merchandise is determined by its intrinsic nature, your sales approach, and the fulfilment process, which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
These standard reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the usual packaging options for items on shop shelves.
Designed with top and bottom closure flaps that slide in reverse directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Built with a self-forming base that fastens flat upon opening, the crash-lock box successfully carries heavier items to avoid structural failure while both packaging variations ship flat and build fast.
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored mailing boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and turn standard shipping into a effective promotional tool.
Entirely decorated throughout, this robust mailer box swaps out standard brown parcels to give ecommerce customers an impressive unboxing experience that readily stands up to the post.
We also make gusseted e-commerce boxes, which easily accommodate items that require a deeper or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A stylish sleeve glides smoothly over a product or inside tray to quickly introduce bold branding whilst preserving the original packaging, providing an incredibly smart and cost-effective solution for presenting exclusive seasonal lines and special-edition releases.
Designed like a folder, this wallet-style box wraps the product to offer a flat, luxury presentation for small cards, prints and lighter retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Branded gift boxes deliver the refined presentation retail customers expect for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to wrap anything.
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 readily justifies a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our team provides thorough design support at every stage of your artwork development.
Should you already have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will meticulously tailor our processes to those specifications to get ready your files for ultimate production.
Because packaging requires a far greater resolution than a digital website , we have to reconstruct any submitted JPEG or other image file format for print production.
Starting from just a basic concept, we build your box structure and print ready artwork. Our specialists design bespoke packaging when standard templates do not work. To help guide you, we explain every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design program to customise a packaging solution and incorporate your bespoke corporate identity prior to initiating contact, or alternatively book a creative appointment should you wish to review your requirements beforehand.

E-commerce and subscription brands

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each container we produce is fully recycleable because of the inherent properties of the cardboard material.
We obtain all board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers to provide complete traceability from audited origins to carefully managed forests.
Commonly used for mailing and shipping, durable corrugated board provides dependable protection while staying one of the most frequently recycled packaging materials in the UK.
Our business is actively removing single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often used for packaging void fill, throughout our internal procedures due to the significant challenges these materials present for recycling and the associated environmental damage they cause when thrown away.
We recommend utilising recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans permit, avoiding waste through more efficient design choices.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging generally requires an initial manufacturing run of at least five hundred or one thousand individual boxes.
When an enterprise triages a fresh commodity or produces a limited ceremonial collection, they face initial expenses for inventory and warehousing prior to establishing market demand.
We welcome orders of every size with no minimum order. You can select your ideal quantity, select a single carton or ten thousand units, and comfortably trial your market with limited financial risk.

Custom packaging Milton of Campsie FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is manufactured to the precise sizes and specifications of your item. The measurements, thickness of the material, structure, design, and finish are all tailored to your specific product, ensuring the container fits securely and presents your corporate identity. Just placing a badge onto a standard stock carton constitutes personalised packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is designed entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you require a one container or large quantities, we support all orders because we apply no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This adaptable approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses entering the market or trialling a new market offering. Our pricing structures generally favour larger volumes, and we always provide a full written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Milton of Campsie?
Our Irvine facility produces goods sent straight to businesses in Milton of Campsie. Local production ensures quicker turnaround times and much reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please tell 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 frequently transform a simple logo and simple concept into finished print files, offering a guided design consultation as part of this journey. You can also take the initial step yourself using our online design tool before handing the work over to us when you are prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each package consists entirely of fully recyclable board approved by both the FSC and PEFC. We reject plastic coatings and surfaces that stop recycling unless food safety necessitates their use, and we discuss all available choices with you in advance.
