What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is produced precisely around your specific item, so you can choose the size, structure, print and overall finish.
Tailoring a pre-made carton with a printed brand mark poses a different and considerably more restricted undertaking.
Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions appropriate for your item, packaging strength tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print printed on your chosen panels.
From the very inception of the design phase, the final packaging is meticulously tailored to encase the product.
Custom Pack Studio supports food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Musselburgh.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an broad range of bespoke packaging options, each crafted to your specific dimensions and supplied with premium, full-colour custom printing.
Selecting the most suitable presentation for your item is a journey determined by its unique nature, sales channel, and end delivery, a path our experienced specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
For standard shop merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the standard packaging configurations.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging choice for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
First, simply set up the crash-lock box so the robust base locks into place. This reliable design easily supports larger products, whilst both formats come flat and put together in seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored mailing boxes keep safe your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a effective branding tool.
Fully printed on the inside and outside, this sturdy mailer box replaces dull brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing event that effortlessly survives the post.
We also craft gusseted ecommerce boxes, providing the perfect, ample embrace for items requiring a more generous or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket encases a brand item or a separate container to offer visible merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thus offering an highly efficient and economical refinement for limited-run lines and special releases.
Styled like a folder, this wallet-style box encloses the product to deliver a flat, premium presentation for card items, prints and lighter retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a present, a bespoke gift box delivers the exquisite packaging that buyers expect while fully saving them the chore of gift wrapping.
Durable rigid packaging, magnetic closure boxes and customised inserts ideally suit Musselburgh. Applying premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch laminating will enhance this range to justify an increased retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service readily includes full design help as part of the standard service, no matter your current artwork stage.
We produce files to your exact brand guidelines and production-ready artwork specs.
To prepare your packaging materials for print, we reconstruct any logo supplied as a JPEG or different image format because physical manufacturing demands a much greater resolution than screen-based platforms require.
Starting with simply a initial outline, our specialist specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst tailoring a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We continuously guide you through each technical decision, carefully clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Use our online design tool to configure your box and apply branding independently, or book a consultation at a later stage if you prefer discuss the project first.
Custom packaging for Musselburgh’s industries
Our organisation creates bespoke packaging solutions for food creators, artisan distilleries, cosmetics brands and e-commerce businesses throughout Musselburgh.
Every distinct industry determines its own specific requirements, from the stringent safety standards of food packaging to the impeccable aesthetic quality demanded by high-end luxury boxes.
Food and drink
Scotland’s large food and drink market calls for intense competitiveness, requiring product packaging to meet safety standards while commanding attention on the shelf.
Did you know we have BRC Global Packaging certification to High Hygiene level? Our packaging is produced under strictly controlled, auditable conditions that retailers inspect before placing any product!
Whisky and craft spirits
Our company manufactures bespoke printed bottle cartons alongside high-quality presentation boxes tailored specifically for independent spirit producers and Musselburgh distilleries, incorporating sophisticated embellishments like foil detailing, embossed textures, and smooth soft touch lamination.
By deciding to eliminate minimum order requirements, we empower a distillery to carry out small 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 personal care, hair care and dermatology industries, enhancing each design with high-quality embellishments including debossing, distinctive foil applications and sophisticated soft-touch lamination.
Beauty containers must preserve sensitive glassware and pressed powders whilst drawing interest on retail displays, a task mostly achieved through the specified surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We help online sellers and subscription businesses by thoughtfully designing custom mailer boxes, printed tissue paper and bespoke inserts.
Custom packaging created to fit the item exactly ensures secure transit whilst substantially reducing the financial burden of replacements and returned goods.
Tailored packaging also offers the consumer a much more immersive experience than merely unwrapping a plain, bare carton.
A packaging supplier perfect for Musselburgh businesses
Our company produces the entirety of our entire product range at our dedicated production facility situated within Irvine in Ayrshire.
This helps to ensure local companies in Musselburgh gain from fast turnaround times whilst sustaining extremely economical distribution rates.
Providing across Musselburgh and the wider UK, we make sure a remote business benefits from the exact same quick response as a nearby customer based just 20 minutes from our factory.
As an essential part of KennedySmith Press Ltd, Custom Pack Studio is backed by an experienced Scottish packaging manufacturer that has been specialising in high-quality print and packaging production since 1997.
Crafted by our skilled specialists using their own high-quality presses, your packaging achieves the excellent print quality and pristine finish associated with an elite, long-standing manufacturer.
To guarantee total correctness, you will be provided with either a physical sample when required by the format and a digital proof before we start the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We produce entirely recyclable boxes employing the built-in characteristics of the board alone.
By sourcing our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified origins, we make sure each sheet is kept fully traceable through an verified pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Mailers and shipping formats utilise corrugated board because this very durable material shields products and remains one of the most often recycled packaging options in Musselburgh.
We are actively and steadily removing single-use plastic and EPS from our activities because these harmful materials do not support recycling and in the end threaten our fragile environment.
We recommend utilising recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans permit, avoiding waste through smarter planning.
Order one box or ten thousand
Usually, bespoke packaging needs a minimum order amount of either 500 or one thousand items.
When a firm tries a new offering or details a limited seasonal collection, they need to fund both goods and storage costs long before any sales are certain.
By imposing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we empower you to select the precise volume required, spanning one box to a production run of ten thousand, thereby ensuring that an first limited batch serves as a economical method to test marketplace demand.
Ready to grow? We promise your written price quote for any volume before we begin the presses, and as we keep your original artwork for future runs, expanding your brand is simple!

Custom packaging Musselburgh FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is manufactured to the precise measurements and requirements of your item. The size, gauge, structure, style, and finish are all matched to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits closely and displays your corporate identity. Just placing a logo onto a off-the-shelf carton constitutes customised packaging. Alternatively, true custom packaging is created entirely around your product from the very beginning.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you want a sole container or large quantities, we handle all orders because we impose no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This flexible approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses launching or testing a new market offering. Our pricing structures typically favour larger volumes, and we consistently provide a full written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Musselburgh?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine facilitates direct transportation to enterprises throughout Musselburgh. Manufacturing within Scotland ensures that both delivery durations and shipping expenses stay highly affordable for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Production starts upon your proof sign-off with standard delivery allowing two to three weeks, though standard cartons often come sooner. Specify your deadline during the initial enquiry for immediate confirmation of availability.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly use only a basic concept and a brand symbol to create carefully finished production-ready designs, a process that inherently includes a expert creative consultation. Or, you may start the first layout using our digital creation platform and subsequently transfer the project to us for finishing.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is entirely recyclable and made from accredited forest board with the two FSC and PEFC accreditations. We deliberately eschew plastic laminates and coatings which hinder successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations require otherwise, consistently explaining every available alternative beforehand.
