What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is produced thoughtfully around your particular item, so you can choose the measurements, build, printing and final finish.
In contrast, adding a custom logo onto a standard, pre-made carton is a separate task with reduced customisation options.
Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions suited to your item, material strength tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
Are you ready to be amazed? Starting from the very first drawing, we literally shape the packaging around the product!
From its creative hub in Montrose, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the country.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to make your packaging ideas a reality? We produce a wide variety of box styles, all made to order to your exact dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your very own artwork!
How does your impressive creation actually get to your customers? The right packaging style typically depends on those individual sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is ready to help you pick the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
Shop goods usually utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as standard packaging formats.
The reverse tuck end carton includes top and bottom closure flaps bending in opposite directions, making it ideal for lightweight merchandise such as beauty products and supplements.
Ready for some packaging magic? Those brilliant crash-lock boxes feature a clever base that clicks securely 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 arrive completely flat and take mere moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored postal boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and transform standard shipping into a powerful promotional tool.
Entirely designed inside and out, this sturdy mailer box swaps out dull brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an impressive unboxing experience that easily withstands the post.
We additionally manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes, which perfectly accommodate items that require a greater or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve slides effortlessly over the product or inner tray to quickly introduce eye-catching branding whilst preserving the original packaging, providing an extremely smart and cost-effective solution for displaying premium seasonal lines and limited-run releases.
Styled like a folder, this folder-style box encloses the product to deliver a sleek, high-quality presentation for cards, prints and thinner retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When items are purchased as presents, a custom-made gift box offers the elegant presentation that buyers look for whilst doing away with the necessity for any wrapping it yourself.
Rigid boxes, magnetic-lid boxes and decorated inserts are extremely practical options, and finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination elevate the presentation into upmarket packaging that effectively justifies an elevated price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive creative guidance is entirely included into our service, no matter the present stage of your artwork.
Should you possess existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will closely adapt our processes to those requirements to get ready your files for final-stage production.
We prepare supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print production because packaging needs more resolution than digital platforms need.
Beginning with merely a basic concept, our specialists create the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while preparing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We explain each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to tailor a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or book a tailored meeting should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Custom packaging Montrose FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is engineered exactly to the physical size and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material depth, structural integrity, graphic design, and surface finish are all set for your merchandise, thereby ensuring the container protects snugly whilst projecting your corporate identity. Simply affixing a brand mark to a standard container amounts to personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is developed entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Definitely not! You can order a single box or thousands because we have no minimums on any of our formats. Isn’t that simply great for individual makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? Naturally, the pricing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an formal written quote before we begin production.
Do you deliver to Montrose?
Are you all set for very fast deliveries? We make everything in Irvine and deliver directly to organisations based in Montrose! By having our production right here in Scotland, we greatly cut down wait times and shipping fees for nearby brands!

If your project be subject to an strict deadline, please state this requirement during your first consultation so we may clearly verify our capacity to accommodate your schedule.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We typically transform a basic concept and logo into completed, print-ready files, including a specialist design consultation throughout the process. Or, you can initiate the project yourself using our virtual creator before handing it to us.

Each carton consists entirely of fully recyclable board certified by both the FSC and PEFC. We avoid plastic coatings and surfaces that stop recycling unless food safety necessitates their use, and we discuss all available alternatives with you beforehand.
