What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is made thoughtfully around your specific item, so you can choose the size, construction, print finish and overall finish.
In contrast, applying a bespoke logo onto a standard, ready-made carton represents a separate task with limited customisation options.
By choosing our bespoke packaging, you will get customised casing dimensions tailored to your item, relevant board durability selected for its planned journey, and personalised printing over your preferred surfaces.
Firstly, we meticulously map out the packaging around the product from the outset of the process.
Custom Pack Studio works with manufacturers of food products, cosmetic firms, e-commerce retailers and craft distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We make a diverse variety of box styles, each adapted to custom dimensions and completely finished with your unique branding artwork.
To identify the perfect format for your product, we consider its type, sales path, and distribution approach, and our helpful team is here to help you throughout.
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases are the conventional packaging formats.
Designed with top-and-bottom closure flaps that insert in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lighter products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Ready for some packaging magic? Such smart crash-lock boxes feature a secure base that clicks firmly into place the exact second you open them! This sturdy design easily supports your heavier items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles ship completely flat and take only a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you selling through your online store? A bespoke mailer box will safeguard your product across the courier network while transforming delivery into a memorable brand experience!
Entirely decorated on the inside and outside, this durable mailer box substitutes plain brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an impressive unboxing experience that readily survives the post.
Do you need extra depth or slightly more flexibility? We additionally create excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes tailored for those particular needs!
Sleeves and wallets
Looking to find out to boost your brand profile without reworking your current boxes? A slide-on sleeve slides easily around your merchandise or inner tray to instantly elevate your appearance! It is the ideal cost-effective solution for bringing seasonal ranges and limited limited-edition collections stand out with excitement.
Created like a folder, this wallet-style box wraps the product to deliver a sleek, high-quality presentation for cards, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When buying items intended as tokens, employing a custom presentation box improves the overall appearance to satisfy consumer needs whilst completely eliminating the need for manual wrapping.
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fill the space seamlessly, whilst premium finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination immediately elevate the design to premium packaging that effortlessly garners a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance is entirely included into our service, no matter the existing progress point of your artwork.
Got brand guidelines and print-ready files prepared? We will jump right in to prepare your designs for final manufacture!
Because packaging demands significantly greater resolution than a website , we have to prepare any provided JPEG or other image file format for print purposes.
Starting from a rudimentary starting concept, our specialists refine your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, developing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers do not suffice. We confirm every technical specification throughout the workflow, including material thickness and image definition.
