Launching a product from Northern Ireland comes with enough to plan for already, from stock to shipping to the label on the box.
Custom Pack Studio designs and prints custom packaging at our factory in Irvine, UK. Our Northern Ireland addresses go out on the same production line and the same courier network as every other UK order.
Every box is custom made for your product, with no minimum order and design support available from the first sketch.
Getting custom packaging delivered into Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland sits just a short sea crossing from our factory in Irvine. We manufacture everything ourselves, so how and when your custom packaging order travels is a decision we make directly, without a reseller in between.
Orders bound for Belfast, Derry, Lisburn, Newry and Armagh travel on the same nationwide courier network as every other delivery we dispatch. The two to three week window from approved proof to your door.
As a packaging supplier, we’d rather quote a realistic delivery time upfront than promise prompt delivery and miss it.
Smaller orders arrive as a standard tracked parcel.
Bulk runs are consolidated onto fewer, larger consignments, which cuts handling and keeps costs down for high-volume Northern Ireland customers.
Boxes and packaging we manufacture
A handful of formats cover most Northern Ireland orders, and we build each one around your product instead of pulling it off a shelf.
Our printing services here mean full-colour litho or digital print, whichever suits the run size you need.
Postal and mailer boxes for online orders
A custom mailer box folds flat and locks shut without tape. It holds the product steady through a courier network that already crosses the Irish Sea every working day.
Print the outside and the customer notices the parcel before they’ve opened it. Print the inside too, and the unboxing becomes part of the experience the moment the tape comes off.
We can help you create a package that makes an impact straight from delivery.
Retail cartons and corrugated shipping boxes
Reverse tuck-end cartons suit lighter retail products such as cosmetics and supplements, and a crash-lock base takes heavier items without the bottom giving way.
For anything shipping further, corrugated cardboard boxes come in single wall or double wall depending on the weight.
Double wall works as protective packaging for anything stacked on a pallet, handled more than once, or bound for a shelf in Belfast.
It’s there to protect your products, not just fill space in a van.
Sleeves, gift boxes and wallets
A slide-on sleeve adds branding to a product or an inner tray without needing a whole new box, which suits short runs and seasonal ranges.
Gift boxes and wallets can complete the range of packaging supplies that finish an order.
A wallet-style box folds flat around cards, prints or slim products. It gives a neat, premium finish without the bulk of a full carton.
No minimum order, whatever the size of your Northern Ireland business
You might be wondering if you’ll have to order a thousand boxes just to get started. After all, a minimum order of 500 or 1,000 units is standard across the industry.
For a small Northern Ireland brand, that number alone can rule bespoke packaging out before it’s worth considering.
We don’t work that way.
Order one box to check the print before you commit, or fifty for a market stall or a soft launch. You’ll get an affordable price whatever the size of the run.
Scale up to whatever quantity a retailer needs once they sign you up. Every size gets the same print quality and the same finish, because it comes off the same production line. Quality packaging shouldn’t depend on the size of the order.
Pricing that scales with quantity, nothing else
Pricing scales with the amount you order, and every quotation is confirmed in writing before production starts.
The written figure is what you’re invoiced, and reorders use the same setup and artwork, which keeps costs down as your business grows.
Design help if you don’t have an in-house designer
You don’t need a designer on staff to order from us. Design support comes available with every order, whatever stage your artwork is at.
Send finished, print-ready artwork and we’ll set it up for the press, checking colours and resolution hold on the printed board itself.
Hand over a logo and a rough idea instead, and our team works out the custom packaging design and the print-ready files with you.
Our online design tool builds your box in 3D, so you can customise it and see it before anything is printed.
A design consultation is there too, if you’d rather talk the options through with a person than a screen.
Who we pack for
Food and drink packaging carries the most scrutiny, and it’s a sector we specialise in. We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, so cartons and food-contact packaging for Northern Ireland producers are made under controlled, traceable conditions.
It’s the kind of certification a retailer asks to see before listing a product.
Online sellers based in Northern Ireland ship nationwide, and a mailer box built to the product cuts down on damage and returns. It also gives the customer something better than a plain parcel to open.
Gift and hamper brands, subscription boxes and independent beauty makers round out the rest, each with different packaging needs.
Foil stamping gives a gift box a touch of luxury, while a fitted insert stops a bottle knocking about in transit.
We are here to create custom solutions that match your product perfectly, and make an impact.
Sustainable materials, backed by real certification
Every box we make is 100% recyclable, because we start with quality materials: board and paper that come from FSC and PEFC sources. That traces back through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We avoid plastic coatings and laminates that would stop a box being recycled, unless food safety requires them. When it does, we’ll say so plainly rather than dress it up.
Producing everything at our own Scotland factory also keeps the delivery footprint lower than importing eco-friendly materials, or anything else, from far overseas.

Delivering to Belfast and across Northern Ireland
We deliver to businesses right across Northern Ireland. Belfast accounts for the largest share of what we send, simply because that’s where most of our Northern Ireland customers are based.
Derry, Lisburn, Newry, Armagh, Craigavon and Ballymena all see regular deliveries too.
If your business sits somewhere else entirely, the same courier network covers the rest of the country in exactly the same way.
Talk to our team and we can provide open and honest lead times, to help you integrate packaging into your business production line.

Custom packaging Northern Ireland FAQ
Do you deliver to Northern Ireland?
Yes. As a UK packaging company, Northern Ireland sits inside our regular delivery network. Orders go out on the same courier routes and the same production timeline as anywhere else in the UK.
How long does delivery to Northern Ireland take?
Most orders are ready two to three weeks after you approve the proof. Delivery from there follows the same tracked network used across the rest of the UK. If you’re working to a fixed launch date, tell us when you enquire and we’ll be straight about whether it’s achievable.
Is there a minimum order for Northern Ireland customers?
No. The same no-minimum-order policy applies wherever you’re based, so you can order one box or several thousand and pay only for what you actually need.
Can you help with design if I’m based in Northern Ireland?
Yes, and it works the same way it would for any other customer. Send artwork, a logo, or just an idea, and our design team takes it from there. We work over email and video call, or through the online design tool, whichever suits you best.
What types of custom printed packaging can you make for a Northern Ireland business?
Mailer and postal boxes, retail cartons, corrugated shipping boxes, gift boxes, sleeves, wallets and retail ready packaging are just some of our custom options. Every custom box format is built to your product rather than picked from a size chart.
