What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is expertly crafted to match your specific product because you maintain total creative authority over the dimensions, the structural design, the printed artwork and the finish.
Applying a logo on a ready-made carton is a separate and considerably more narrow project.
Our definition of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are suited specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its actual journey, and the print perfectly wraps around your chosen panels.
From the very inception of design phase, final packaging is meticulously tailored to enclose the product itself.
From its innovative hub in North Middleton, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the UK.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an wide range of packaging styles, which are all made to suit to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Selecting the most suitable presentation for your item is a task determined by its specific nature, sales avenue, and end delivery, a journey our dedicated specialists will help you navigate.
Folding cartons
For standard shop merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the conventional packaging configurations.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging option for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
First, simply set up the crash-lock box so the robust base slots into place. This practical design readily supports heavier products, whilst both formats come flat and assemble in a few seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a bespoke mailing carton keeps safe your merchandise whilst undergoing transit and lifts the unboxing experience into a key element of your marketing.
Fully printed on the inside and outside, this robust mailer box swaps out dull brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing event that effortlessly stands up to the post.
Our team further create expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for consignments requiring greater depth or adaptable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
To easily add branding without updating your current packaging, you can simply place a slip-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an affordable solution for seasonally themed ranges and limited edition collections.
Surrounding the contents as a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging unfolds to display a beautifully flat and polished showcase that is ideal for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To elevate items purchased as presents, utilising bespoke gift packaging delivers the premium finish your clients anticipates while eliminating the stress of wrapping.
Robust rigid packaging, magnetic closure boxes and tailored inserts ideally suit North Middleton. Adding luxury finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or tactile soft-touch lamination will elevate this range to justify an increased retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design assistance stays an essential component of our service, whatever the current development phase of your artwork.
On receipt of your defined corporate guidelines and approved designs, we will carefully align our processes to these specifications and prepare your assets for end manufacture.
Websites are very forgiving, yet physical packaging requires complete precision. Therefore, every logo supplied as a JPEG or other image file must be meticulously rebuilt before printing.
From your very first burst of inspiration, our dedicated team shapes bespoke box structures and print-perfect print-ready artwork, pioneering custom measurements when no standard box fits. Your vision guides us. We outline the key technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we work.
As an alternative, you can use our digital creation space to personalise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or simply arrange an aesthetic session if you prefer to discuss your ideas beforehand.
