What custom packaging means
We produce custom packaging engineered fully around your specific product by offering you full control over the size, style, print and finishing!
Conversely, adding a custom logo to a standard, ready-made carton constitutes a separate task with reduced customisation options.
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.
The creation of the packaging begins in parallel with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
From its design hub in North Berwick, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an extensive selection of packaging styles, which are all adapted to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Determining the best presentation for your merchandise relies upon its intrinsic nature, your selling strategy, and the delivery process, which our specialists will help you choose.
Folding cartons
Ready to discover to explore the true classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ideal everyday packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
Designed with upper and lower closure flaps that insert in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers an ideal packaging solution for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports heavier items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are delivered flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses retailing online, a custom mailer box protects your creation during its challenging journey. All at once, a plain delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
Who needs dull brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an incredible unboxing thrill, plus they are strong enough to readily survive the post!
Additionally, we produce gusseted e-commerce boxes for products requiring additional depth or a flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket encases a brand item or a separate container to deliver clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an highly effective and affordable refinement for limited-run lines and limited-edition releases.
Created to encase the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an refined flat display for store items, photographs and writing materials.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When buying items destined as presents, utilising a tailored presentation box improves the entire look to satisfy consumer expectations whilst fully removing the need for manual wrapping.
This tailored presentation is effortlessly achieved through structured presentation boxes, elegant magnetic closures, and individually tailored inserts, whilst elegant embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and velvety soft touch coatings successfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that achieves a more prestigious market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to turn your ideas into reality? We provide full design assistance as part of our offering, no matter how finished your artwork is!
On receipt of your existing corporate guidelines and production-ready designs, we will closely adapt our processes to these specifications and ready your assets for final manufacture.
When a brand mark is supplied in a bitmap or alternative pixel format, we meticulously recreate it for production needs because physical packaging demands a substantially greater degree of image clarity than a virtual platform requires.
From a rudimentary early concept, our specialists refine your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, designing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the workflow, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you could make use of our online creator to personalise a carton and add your own logo before contacting us, or book a creative meeting if you would rather discussing your ideas beforehand.

Custom packaging North Berwick FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is produced to the precise measurements and requirements of your item. The dimensions, material thickness, construction, style, and coating are all matched to your specific items, ensuring the container fits securely and presents your corporate identity. Simply placing a badge onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging. Conversely, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
Certainly not! You can order just one box or large quantities because we have zero minimums on any of our options. Isn’t that simply perfect for indie makers and anyone introducing a brand-new product? Naturally, the pricing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive a written written quote before we commence production.
Do you deliver to North Berwick?
Our manufacturing facility in Irvine supplies business clients across North Berwick. Producing our products within Scotland ensures we keep down both completion times and transport expenses for companies in northern areas.
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. Should you have a specific date to meet, please tell us during your first enquiry so we can verify if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely turn a basic concept and logo into finalised, print ready files, incorporating a expert design consultation during the process. Or, you can start the project yourself using our virtual creator before transferring it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is completely recyclable and manufactured from certified forest board possessing the two FSC and PEFC accreditations. We intentionally avoid plastic laminates and coatings which hinder successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations dictate otherwise, regularly outlining every available alternative beforehand.
