What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, build, design and coating.
By contrast, applying a personalised logo to a standard, pre-made carton is a different task with limited customisation options.
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 seamlessly covers your chosen panels.
To begin with, we thoroughly sketch the packaging around the product from the beginning of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, cosmetics businesses, e-commerce retailers and small distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We create a wide-ranging collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly printing your personal design in bold, colourful finish.
Selecting the most appropriate template for your merchandise rests solely upon its inherent nature, your sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
These standard reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures work as the usual packaging choices for items on store shelves.
With a reverse tuck end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which offers an ideal packaging choice for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
First, initially set up the crash-lock box so the solid base locks into place. This practical design readily holds larger products, whilst both formats arrive flat and put together in a few seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored postal boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a effective promotional tool.
Who likes boring brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an incredible unboxing experience, plus they are strong enough to readily survive the post!
In addition, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products demanding more depth or versatile packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on sleeves encase your goods or tray insert to provide instant branding whilst preserving your existing packaging, giving an practical and affordable solution for promotional lines and temporary stock.
Encasing the contents as a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens to reveal a neatly flat and stylish showcase that is ideal for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To elevate items acquired as presents, using bespoke gift packaging offers the high-end finish your customers looks for while removing the stress of wrapping.
Solid rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and specially printed inserts prove extremely effective for this application, whilst refined embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation to premium packaging that successfully supports a premium price tag.

Custom packaging for Paisley’s industries
We create bespoke packaging solutions for culinary professionals, spirit distilleries, cosmetics brands and e-commerce businesses throughout Paisley.
Every industry has its own unique set of requirements, ranging from strict food safety compliance to the perfect finish required for a luxury carton!
Food and drink
North food and drink sector is certainly extensive and very contested, a brisk market where packaging must guarantee total safety whilst at the same time attracting consumers from the shelf.
As recipients of the BRC Global Packaging certification at high hygiene level, we manufacture our food packaging within tightly regulated, traceable environments that retailers mandate as a precondition for product listings.
Whisky and craft spirits
Our company produces bespoke printed bottle cartons alongside premium presentation boxes tailored precisely for independent spirit producers and Paisley distilleries, incorporating elegant embellishments like metallic foiling, tactile embossing, and smooth soft touch lamination.
This absence of a minimum order threshold empowers a distillery to arrange a limited print run for small-batch releases with no the obligation of acquiring unnecessary quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We manufacture bespoke printed packaging for beauty and hair organisations, featuring specialised embellishments like a tactile finish, metallic foiling and structural embossing._
Beauty packaging needs to safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst preserving shelf appeal, a task largely accomplished by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We create bespoke tailor-made branded mailer boxes, custom printed tissue and custom-fit inserts tailored particularly for digital retailers and subscription organisations.
Custom packaging tailored precisely to the item helps ensure its safe passage through the mail system, which ultimately lessens the costly burden of breakage and product replacements.
Tailored packaging also offers the consumer a far more immersive experience than just unwrapping a plain, unembellished carton.

Sustainable packaging as standard

We procure our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC accredited origins, ensuring that each sheet is kept fully trackable via a confirmed chain of custody straight through to carefully managed woodlands.
Used extensively for shipping boxes and delivery boxes, corrugated board provides reliable protection whilst being one of the most frequently recycled packaging mediums across the country.
We remove single-use plastic items and EPS from our day-to-day operations due to their recycling challenges and harmful environmental impact.
Whenever the specific scheme permits, we recommend using recyclable or paper-based, environmentally conscious safeguarding materials whilst actively removing surplus from our planning process.of_thought_

Custom packaging Paisley FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is produced to the specific sizes and specifications of your item. The measurements, material thickness, construction, layout, and coating are all matched to your specific product, ensuring the container fits securely and displays your corporate identity. Merely placing a logo onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is designed entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
We don’t enforce minimum quantities, which means you have the freedom to buy a solitary carton or several thousand of any packaging format. This option provides an excellent solution for boutique manufacturers together with enterprises introducing or testing new merchandise on the market. Our rate structures adjust according to the volume requested, and we always provide a formal quotation for your approval prior to commencing manufacture.
Do you deliver to Paisley?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine supports direct transportation to organisations throughout Paisley. Manufacturing within Scotland ensures that both delivery times and shipping expenses are kept highly competitive for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have greenlighted the design, we usually require 2 to 3 weeks to finish your packaging, while simpler boxes can often be produced more swiftly. Should you have a critical date in mind, please provide it during your initial enquiry so we can immediately determine if we can accommodate it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly utilise only a simple concept and a brand symbol to create highly polished production-ready designs, a process that naturally features a professional creative consultation. As another option, you may start the first layout working with our digital creation platform and subsequently hand over the project to us for finalisation.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton consists entirely of 100% recyclable board verified by both the FSC and PEFC. We do not use plastic laminates and finishes that hinder recycling unless food safety necessitates their use, and we review all available options with you beforehand.
