What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously crafted to match your specific product because you maintain total creative authority over the dimensions, the structural design, the printed artwork and the finish.
Conversely, adding a personalised logo to a standard, off-the-shelf carton is a different task with limited customisation options.
Our definition of a completely customisable box means the dimensions are suited specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its physical journey, and the print seamlessly envelopes your chosen panels.
From the earliest moment of the design process, the packaging is thoughtfully conceived to complement the product.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, beauty companies, online retailers and small distilleries throughout the nation.
The custom packaging we make
Ready to bring your packaging dreams to life? We manufacture a great range of box styles, all custom-made to your precise dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your personal artwork!
Selecting the ideal presentation for your item is a process shaped by its specific nature, sales channel, and ultimate delivery, a path our specialist specialists will support you through.
Folding cartons
Shop items typically utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as standard packaging formats.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging option for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Designed 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 supplied flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a bespoke mailer box secures your creation throughout its challenging journey. All at once, a simple delivery becomes an compelling chapter of your brand story.
Who likes plain brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an impressive unboxing experience, plus they are robust enough to readily survive the post!
We additionally produce gusseted e-commerce boxes, which neatly accommodate items needing a greater or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Are you hoping to strengthen your brand profile without reworking your existing boxes? A slide-on sleeve fits neatly around your merchandise or inner tray to instantly lift your appearance! It is the ultimate affordable answer for making short-term ranges and exclusive limited-edition collections pop with energy.
Enveloping the contents as a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens out to display a cleanly flat and stylish showcase that is well suited for displaying brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you trying to elevate your present game? Sending items in a bespoke gift box offers that high-end look buyers crave without any of the gift-wrapping fuss!
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 easily warrants a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive design assistance continues an essential component of our offering, whatever the present development phase of your artwork.
Should you possess established brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will faithfully align with your instructions to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
To prepare your packaging for press, we recreate any logo supplied as a JPEG or alternative image format because physical manufacturing demands a much higher resolution than digital platforms demand.
Starting with just a conceptual outline, our experienced specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst adapting a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We continuously guide you through each technical decision, thoroughly clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you may, you could utilise our online creator to customise a carton and add your own logo before contacting us, or arrange a creative meeting if you would rather discussing your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Morningside’s industries
Our business manufactures bespoke packaging solutions for culinary creators, artisan distilleries, personal care brands and online retailers throughout Morningside.
Each sector defines distinct criteria, from adherence with food hygiene standards to the precise aesthetic appeal necessary for luxury packaging.
Food and drink
Scotland’s vast food and drink market calls for strong competitiveness, demanding product packaging to guarantee safety standards while drawing attention on the shelf.
Our High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification ensures we manufacture food packaging under carefully audited, traceable conditions demanded by major retailers for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for small-batch spirits producers and whisky distilleries, with premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
By deciding to do away with minimum order requirements, we allow a distillery to carry out limited production runs of bespoke labels for specialised releases with no need the need of acquiring unnecessary quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We create bespoke printed cartons for the cosmetics, hair care and skin care industries, elevating each design with luxury embellishments including debossing, eye-catching foil applications and elegant soft-touch lamination.
Packaging for beauty products needs to shield delicate glass and compacts whilst preserving shelf appeal, a task largely accomplished by the chosen finish.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Did you know that each and every box we produce is entirely recyclable? It is true because the actual board we use provides so much eco-friendly goodness!
By procuring our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, we help ensure each sheet remains fully traceable through an verified pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Mailers and shipping solutions utilise corrugated board because this highly durable material safeguards products and remains one of the most frequently recycled packaging options in Morningside.
We are systematically eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is because these materials are hard to recycle and damage the environment when discarded.
Why not simply move to environmentally friendly, paper-based protection alternatives and fully eliminate waste wherever your design permits?
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging options usually require a minimum manufacturing run of either 500 or 1,000 individual pieces.
Introducing a new product or running limited seasonal runs forces businesses to fund stock and storage before making any sales.
As we set absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you maintain complete control over the quantity, whether you need a single individual box or a production run of 10,000, which ensures that an initial limited batch works as a highly secure method for assessing consumer demand.
Prepared to expand? We promise your price quote in writing for any volume before we begin the presses, and because we save your original artwork for future runs, expanding your brand is an absolute breeze!

Custom packaging Morningside FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is created exactly around the unique dimensions and needs of your item. Each detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is curated for your particular contents, providing a perfect fit that reflects 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?
Not in the slightest. There are no order minimums on any choice, so you can ask for one box or many thousands. This route supports solo creators and those testing a new item. Pricing estimates scale with order size, and you receive a quote in writing before manufacture.
Do you deliver to Morningside?
Our manufacturing facility in Irvine serves commercial clients across Morningside. Creating our products within Scotland ensures we minimise both lead times and transport expenses for northern enterprises.
What are your lead times?
Upon your final approval of the design, the majority of commissions require two weeks to 3 weeks for completion, though less complex packaging often progresses more rapidly. Should you possess a strict completion date, please mention this during your initial consultation so we may verify our capacity to meet your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Are you ready to see your simple concepts come to life? We frequently transform a basic logo and a burst of inspiration and transform them into striking, print ready masterpieces, with a full design consultation built right into the experience! Or, if you want having a go yourself, why not use our online design tool to begin your creation and then pass the baton over to us whenever you are ready?
Is the packaging recyclable?
Crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board, every single box is fully recyclable. We deliberately steer clear of plastic laminates and coatings that interfere with this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always review your options first.
