What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously engineered to house a certain item, letting you choose the size, the setup, the artwork and the ultimate finish.
Attaching a logo onto a ready-made carton is a different and considerably more limited undertaking.
Our completely tailored packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions appropriate for your item, the strength of the material suited 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 enclose the product.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food production companies, beauty organisations, digital retailers and craft distilleries throughout the nation as a whole.
The custom packaging we make
We create a wide-ranging collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly showcasing your personal design in bold, colourful printing.
Determining the most suitable template for your merchandise rests solely upon its inherent nature, your sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
For standard retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the traditional packaging formats.
With closure flaps at the top and base, the gentle reverse tuck end carton attractively holds light items like cosmetics and supplements.
Ready for some packaging magic? These brilliant crash-lock boxes feature a smart base that clicks firmly into place the very second you pop them open! This robust design effortlessly 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
Bespoke mailing boxes secure your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a valuable marketing tool.
With bespoke printing on all surfaces, these mailer boxes elevate the standard digital retail transaction into a high-end tactile event whilst preserving the structural integrity required to withstand the pressures of transit.
We additionally produce gusseted e-commerce boxes, which easily accommodate items requiring a greater or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve creates an stylish branding opportunity that retains the original packaging, providing an exceptionally practical and affordable solution for temporary periodic lines and select limited-edition releases.
Encasing the contents as a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging unfolds to present a beautifully flat and polished showcase that is well suited for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a tailored gift box offers the beautiful presentation that recipients anticipate while entirely removing them the task of gift wrapping.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that easily warrants a premium price point.

Custom packaging Newmills FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is manufactured to the precise measurements and needs of your item. The measurements, material thickness, structure, style, and finish are all tailored to your specific product, ensuring the container fits snugly and presents your corporate identity. Simply placing a logo onto a pre-made carton constitutes customised packaging. Alternatively, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the very beginning.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose minimal minimum quantity limits on any format, meaning you are able to purchase a one carton or large quantities. This freedom is ideal for boutique creators and those starting initial product trials. Our rates decrease as your order volume increases, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Newmills?
By making our products in Irvine and supplying them directly to commercial clients throughout Newmills, we ensure that producing within Scotland efficiently reduces both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have approved your initial proof, the majority of commissions require 2 to 3 weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can check if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Working often from merely a logo and an initial concept, our specialists refine your initial vision into print-ready graphics, a progression that features a detailed creative consultation. Alternatively, you may begin the drafting process independently utilising our digital creation platform, transferring the project to our custodians whenever you feel able to do so.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each and every individual carton we make is fully recyclable and produced from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We deliberately avoid the use of plastic laminates or coatings which may prevent the recycling process. The only exclusion to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
