What custom packaging means
Our customised packaging is produced precisely around your specific item, allowing you to choose the measurements, build, print finish and final finish.
By contrast, applying a custom logo to a standard, pre-made carton constitutes a different task with limited customisation options.
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions matched to your item, material strength suited to your shipping requirements, and custom print added to your chosen panels.
We design the packaging closely around the product from the very first stage.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, beauty organisations, online retailers and small-batch distilleries across the whole country.
The custom packaging we make
We make a broad selection of box styles, each adapted to custom dimensions and fully printed with your individual branding artwork.
How does your remarkable creation actually find its way to your customers? The right packaging style consistently depends on those individual sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is eager to help you choose the best match!
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures serve as the usual packaging solutions for items on shop shelves.
Designed with flaps that fit at either ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is ideally suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports heavier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are provided flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a tailored mailer box secures your creation throughout its demanding journey. All at once, a plain delivery becomes an memorable chapter of your brand story.
Who likes dull brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an incredible unboxing thrill, plus they are robust enough to easily survive the post!
Also, we make gusseted e-commerce boxes for products requiring additional depth or a adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slip-on jacket encases the brand item or an inner container to offer clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thus offering an extremely effective and economical refinement for limited-run lines and limited-edition releases.
Designed to wrap around your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an attractive and sleek display that is ideally suited for showcasing cards, prints and narrow retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When acquiring items destined as tokens, using a bespoke presentation box elevates the overall aesthetic to meet consumer expectations whilst fully eliminating the need for manual 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 easily supports a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design assistance is fully included into our service, regardless of the current development phase of your artwork.
Should you possess existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will carefully adapt our procedures to those guidelines to get ready your files for final-stage production.
Because packaging requires a far greater resolution than a digital website , we need to rebuild any submitted JPEG or different image file format for print purposes.
From a simple early concept, our specialists develop your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, designing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers cannot suffice. We clarify every technical specification throughout the workflow, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may, you could use our online creator to tailor a carton and add your own logo before reaching out, or schedule a creative meeting if you want to discussing your ideas beforehand.

A packaging supplier perfect for Pilton businesses
Were you aware we make each product in-house at our very own Irvine workshop in Ayrshire?
This ensures local companies in Pilton gain from swift turnaround times whilst keeping highly economical distribution rates.
Serving across Pilton and the broader UK, we make sure a faraway business enjoys the same quick response as a neighbour located just twenty minutes from our factory.
Bespoke Pack Studio functions as a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer which has Scotland-based printing and packaging production since nineteen ninety-seven.
Our expert team manufactures your boxes on their own presses to help ensure that the print and finish meet the standards of an established producer.
Before your creation is fully brought to life, you will review a proof, alongside a sample if the format calls for it.
Sustainable packaging as standard
We create each individual item of our boxes to be completely recyclable, a environmentally friendly quality that comes entirely from the natural composition of the board itself.
We procure all board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified vendors to ensure complete transparency from verified origins to sustainably managed forests.
Mailers and dispatch formats employ corrugated board because this extremely durable material safeguards products and remains one of the most frequently recycled packaging options in Pilton.
We are carefully eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as filling material, from our operations. This is since these materials are hard to recycle and harm the environment when discarded.
Whenever planning permits, our recommendation is to utilise environmentally responsible paper-based or recyclable protective materials whilst actively cutting out surplus resources at the outset.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging generally demands an initial manufacturing run of at least five hundred or one thousand individual boxes.
When businesses trial an unknown item or produce limited-run festive collections, they take on the burden of financing inventory and warehousing prior to establishing the market demand.
We set zero minimum order requirements, enabling you to order any quantity from a single box to 10 thousand. This first small-volume production batch gives a reliable way to evaluate customer demand.
We provide formal written validation of your costs for each batch prior to production, whilst future manufacturing runs utilise your existing designs to ensure that scaling the business requires no further creative development.

Custom packaging Pilton FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is carefully crafted to match the precise sizes and individual requirements of your item. Each structural element, including the measurements, material density, arrangement, and design detailing, is specifically tailored for the contents to ensure a secure fit while elegantly representing your identity. Whilst just printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton counts as personalised packaging, a fully custom solution is developed from the foundation of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not. There are zero minimum order limits on any choice, so you can request just one box or many thousands. This approach supports solo creators and those trying a new item. Pricing estimates increase with order size, and you receive a quote in writing before manufacture.
Do you deliver to Pilton?
By manufacturing our products in Irvine and delivering them directly to commercial clients throughout Pilton, we ensure that making within Scotland successfully reduces both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
After you have signed off on the design, we typically require two to three weeks to produce your packaging, though less complex boxes can often be produced faster. If you have a key date in mind, please let us know it during your initial enquiry so we can immediately determine if we can make it happen.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely turn a simple concept and logo into finished, print ready files, incorporating a specialist design consultation throughout the process. As an alternative, you can start the project yourself using our virtual creator before transferring it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each individual box we make is completely recyclable and created from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We specifically refrain from using the use of plastic laminates or coatings which may prevent the recycling process. The only exception to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
