What custom packaging means
Our custom-made packaging is meticulously engineered to house a particular item, letting you choose the dimensions, the layout, the designs and the end coating.
Applying a logo on a ready-made carton is a separate and far more limited task.
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions suited to your item, the strength of the material matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
We design the packaging closely around the product from the very first stage.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with manufacturers of food, cosmetic labels, internet merchants and artisanal distillers throughout the whole nation.
The custom packaging we make
We craft a varied collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly producing your personal design in vibrant, full-colour finish.
Choosing the most suitable presentation for your item is a journey determined by its specific nature, route to market, and final delivery, a journey our specialist specialists will guide you through.
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the standard packaging choices for items on shop shelves.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the upper and lower flaps insert in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging solution for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Created with a self-assembling base that secures flat upon assembly, the crash-lock box reliably supports bulkier items to reduce the risk of structural failure while both packaging variations are shipped flat and assemble quickly.
Postal and mailer boxes
For digital retailers, custom mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst making the delivery process into an extension of your branding.
Fully printed throughout, this durable mailer box swaps out dull brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an impressive unboxing event that easily survives the post.
Additionally, we make gusseted e-commerce boxes for items requiring greater depth or an flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To readily add branding without changing your current packaging, you can simply add a slide-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating a cost-effective solution for holiday ranges and limited edition collections.
This wallet-style box wraps around the item like a file folder to offer a sleek and high-end presentation for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes provide the refined presentation retail customers expect for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to cover anything.
This tailored presentation is effortlessly achieved through structured presentation boxes, elegant magnetic closures, and bespoke inserts, whilst exquisite embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and luxurious soft touch coatings helpfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a higher market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We integrate design help into our service, embracing your artwork at any stage of the creation process.
Should you possess established brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will carefully align with your requirements to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
When a brand mark is provided in a raster or other image format, we meticulously reproduce it for production purposes because printed packaging demands a substantially greater level of image clarity than a online platform requires.
Are you beginning with just a trace of an concept? Our skilled crew will map out the full packaging template alongside your production-ready graphics, even engineering a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply won’t suffice! We eagerly guide you through every one technical decision from material density to final image quality as your exciting concept comes to life.
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 Newtonhill FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is produced to the exact sizes and needs of your item. The size, gauge, build, style, and surface treatment are all tailored to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits securely and presents your corporate identity. Just placing a logo onto a off-the-shelf carton constitutes customised packaging. Conversely, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you require a one container or thousands upon thousands, we support all orders because we apply no minimum volume requirements across all of our packaging styles. This versatile approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses entering the market or exploring a new market offering. Our pricing structures naturally favour larger volumes, and we consistently provide a comprehensive written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Newtonhill?
Our Irvine facility produces goods shipped directly to businesses in Newtonhill. Scottish production guarantees swifter turnaround times and beautifully reduced transport costs for Scottish brands.

Once you approve the proof, we get started straight away! The majority of orders take just two to three weeks, and a simple carton can be even faster. Do you have a strict deadline? Let us know when you get in touch and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
