What custom packaging means
Our custom-made packaging is carefully engineered to fit a specific item, letting you choose the size, the layout, the artwork and the final finish.
Putting a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging is a different task that provides far less creative flexibility.
Wondering what true customisation can look? We saw every dimension to your product, select the specific board weight for its journey, and splash vibrant print onto any panels you choose!
From the outset of design phase, final packaging is carefully tailored to contain the product itself.
From its innovative hub in Oxton, Custom Pack Studio partners with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers throughout the nation.
The custom packaging we make
Ready to turn your packaging vision into reality? We produce a great variety of box styles, all made to order to your specific dimensions and brilliantly printed in full colour with your personal artwork!
To establish the ideal format for your product, we assess its character, sales process, and distribution method, and our helpful team is here to support you at every step.
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures act as the usual packaging options for items on store shelves.
The reverse tuck end carton includes top and bottom closure flaps folding in opposite directions, making it ideal for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Created with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box simply supports bulkier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully assembled in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For digital merchants, custom mailing boxes protect products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your brand image.
By utilising double-sided printing, a customised mailer box lifts the usual delivery into a very professional unboxing event for e-commerce customers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to withstand the postal journey intact.
Are you looking for more depth or slightly more flexibility? We further create excellent gusseted e-commerce boxes tailored for those requirements!
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket envelops the brand item or an inner container to provide prominent merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an incredibly effective and economical refinement for limited-run lines and exclusive releases.
Are you ready? This remarkable wallet-style box encloses your items as a sleek folder to produce an exceptionally premium, flat display that is absolutely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you trying to elevate your existing game? Presenting items in a bespoke gift box provides that luxurious look buyers desire without any of the packaging fuss!
This custom presentation is effortlessly achieved through structured presentation boxes, sleek magnetic closures, and individually tailored inserts, whilst exquisite embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, raised embossing, and velvety soft touch coatings helpfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that achieves a more premium market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our team delivers thorough creative guidance at all stages of your artwork development.
Once you supply us with your existing brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will carefully work to these guidelines to create your final files for the manufacturing stage.
Are you sending your logo as a raster image or different image format? We redesign it from scratch for print because pack shot materials needs much higher resolution than a typical website can.
Beginning with merely a initial outline, our specialist specialists will create both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst adapting a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We consistently guide you through each technical decision, carefully clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Utilise our online design tool to configure your box and create branding independently, or arrange a consultation at a later stage if you prefer discuss the project first.
Custom packaging for Oxton’s industries
We manufacture bespoke packaging solutions for food creators, spirit distilleries, cosmetics brands and e-commerce retailers throughout Oxton.
Every industry places specific standards, starting with food-contact compliance to the precise surface finish for premium packaging cartons.
Food and drink
The food and drink industry within Scotland is equally broad and highly disputed, demanding that product packaging provides absolute safety upon touch whilst at the same time drawing attention on the retail shelf.
As a business holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we produce our food containers within carefully controlled and entirely auditable facilities which supermarkets review prior to approving any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce tailor-made printed bottle cartons and display packaging for craft spirits producers and distilleries, including premium details including hot foil stamping , pressed detailing and textured lamination.
This absence of a minimum order threshold allows a distillery to arrange a limited print run for boutique releases without the requirement of acquiring large quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We produce bespoke printed cartons for the personal care, hair and skin care industries, refining each design with premium embellishments including raised detailing, unique foil applications and elegant soft-touch lamination.
Beauty containers must protect fragile glassware and pressed powders whilst commanding attention on retail displays, a task largely achieved through the chosen surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We help online sellers and subscription brands by thoughtfully designing custom mailer boxes, printed tissue paper and fitted inserts.
Bespoke packaging engineered to fit the item exactly helps ensure secure transit whilst substantially reducing the financial burden of replacement items and returned goods.
Receiving a custom-made, branded package changes the basic act of unboxing, enhancing the experience well beyond the dull reality of opening a regular, anonymous brown carton.

Every single product is produced by our staff at our bespoke production facility located in Irvine, based within Ayrshire.

You will regularly check a proof, together with a sample if the format needs it, before full production runs begins.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We create entirely recyclable boxes using the built-in qualities of the board used.
We obtain all board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified vendors to ensure complete transparency from verified origins to carefully managed forests.
Relied upon to protect mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board offers robust, reliable protection, standing tall as one of the UK’s most widely recycled packaging materials.
We eliminate single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations due to their difficulty in recycling and negative environmental impact.
When the structural planning allows, we recommend that you adopt environmentally responsible paper based or recoverable protective materials whilst proactively removing unnecessary resources from the beginning.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging generally demands an first manufacturing run of at least five hundred or 1,000 individual boxes.
Are you testing an new new product or printing a limited short-run range? That can mean funding stock and storage in advance before you even know it sells!
Are you set to get started? We maintain zero minimum orders, meaning you can take everything from one solitary box to a massive run of ten thousand! This makes a tiny initial order the ultimate lower-risk option to assess your market.
We consistently verify pricing in writing for any quantity before production begins. Because repeat orders use the same artwork, increasing volume does not requires changing the packaging.
