What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging fully around your singular product. Your idea directs the design, setting the required size, build, print and finish.
Modifying a ready-made carton with a embossed brand mark poses a contrasting and considerably more restricted undertaking.
Our interpretation of a totally bespoke box is that we adjust the sizes precisely to your goods, pick the material gauge based on transit demands, and apply your graphics to the surfaces you choose.
Ready to be amazed? Starting from the very first sketch, we effectively sculpt the packaging around the product!
From its creative hub in Parkgate, Custom Pack Studio partners with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the UK.
The custom packaging we make
Ready to bring your packaging dreams to life? We produce a fantastic range of box styles, all custom-made to your precise dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your own artwork!
Choosing the most suitable presentation for your merchandise is determined by its inherent nature, your sales strategy, and the distribution process, each of which our specialists will support you in selecting.
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the conventional packaging set-ups.
With a reverse tuck end carton, the upper and lower flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging option for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Engineered with a base that mechanically interlocks upon assembly, the crash-lock box easily supports weightier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Bespoke postal boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and turn standard shipping into a effective promotional tool.
By showcasing bespoke artwork on each surface, these sturdy postal cartons transform routine deliveries into engaging tactile stories that greatly exceed the banality of conventional packaging.
In addition, we manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products demanding more depth or adaptable packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
To readily add branding without updating your current packaging, you can simply add a over-sleeve sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an economical solution for holiday ranges and limited edition collections.
Created to envelop your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an attractive and flat display that is perfectly suited for presenting cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items bought as gifts, utilising bespoke gift packaging provides the high-end finish your clients expects while removing the stress of wrapping.
First, choose rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then add finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that simply justifies a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive creative guidance is fully included into our service, no matter the existing progress point of your artwork.
Should you already have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will closely align with your specifications to get ready everything for the manufacturing process.
To get ready your packaging for print, we reconstruct any logo supplied as a JPEG or other image format because physical manufacturing demands a much greater resolution than digital platforms demand.
Starting with merely a basic outline, our specialist specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst tailoring a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We continuously guide you through each technical decision, meticulously clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Utilise our online design tool to customise your box and add branding independently, or arrange a consultation at a later stage if you would rather discuss the project first.

Prior to starting mass fabrication, you will examine a layout schematic and a physical model if the design pattern calls for it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each of our produced cartons is fully recyclable because the built-in qualities of the board itself give this environmentally responsible quality.
We procure all of our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, ensuring that each individual sheet is fully traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to well-managed forests.
As a highly resilient and protective solution for posting and shipping, corrugated board represents a of the most widely recycled packaging materials utilised across the country.
We eliminate single-use plastics and expanded polystyrene from our activities due to their recycling difficulties and adverse environmental impact.
Whenever the project layout makes it possible, our team recommends choosing recyclable paper stock or environmentally responsible protective materials whilst actively avoiding excess surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand

Custom packaging Parkgate FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is created carefully around the unique dimensions and requirements of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is curated for your specific contents, providing a flawless fit that reflects your corporate identity with pride. Whilst merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation designs the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not! You can order just one box or many thousands because we have no minimum order requirements on any of our formats. Isn’t that just perfect for indie makers and anyone bringing out a brand-new product? Of course, the costing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an formal written quote before we start production.
Do you deliver to Parkgate?
Our manufacturing facility in Irvine supplies business clients across Parkgate. Making our products within Scotland ensures we minimise both turnaround times and transport expenses for companies in northern areas.
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require 2 to 3 weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. Should you have a specific date to meet, please tell us during your first enquiry so we can confirm if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Ready to see your basic concepts become reality? We frequently transform a plain logo and a spark of inspiration and transform them into stunning, ready-to-print masterpieces, with a full design consultation built right into the process! Or, if you want having a go yourself, why not use our online design tool to kickstart your creation and then pass the baton over to us whenever you are ready?
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is entirely recyclable and produced from approved forest board with the two FSC and PEFC certifications. We deliberately eschew plastic laminates and coatings which hinder successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations require otherwise, always explaining every available alternative beforehand.
