What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously crafted to suit your specific product because you keep complete creative authority over the dimensions, the structural design, the print work and the end finish.
By contrast, adding a personalised logo onto a standard, off-the-shelf carton is a different task with fewer customization options.
Our interpretation of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its physical journey, and the print seamlessly envelopes your chosen panels.
We develop the packaging closely around the product from the initial stage.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, cosmetic brands, e-commerce retailers and artisanal distillers throughout the whole nation.
The custom packaging we make
We craft a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly producing your personal design in vibrant, colourful finish.
The ideal packaging design for your item hinges on its physical nature, selling method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will guide your selection.
Folding cartons
Shop products commonly use crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as typical packaging formats.
Designed with top-and-bottom closure flaps that fit in reverse directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Crash lock boxes feature a self-assembling base that fastens instantly upon opening to support bulkier items, whilst both designs are shipped flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses selling online, a tailored mailer box secures your creation during its challenging journey. All at once, a plain delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
Who likes plain brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an impressive unboxing experience, plus they are robust enough to easily survive the post!
Do you need added depth or some extra flexibility? We further make fantastic gusseted e-commerce boxes made for those exact needs!
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on sleeves enclose your goods or tray insert to offer instant branding whilst preserving your existing packaging, offering an efficient and cost-effective solution for promotional ranges and seasonal stock.
Created like a folder, this folder-style box wraps the product to offer a streamlined, premium presentation for small cards, prints and thinner retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When acquiring items destined as tokens, utilising a tailored presentation box elevates the general aesthetic to match consumer needs whilst entirely eliminating the need for manual wrapping.
Sturdy boxes, magnetic closure boxes and printed inserts are extremely practical options, whilst finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that successfully warrants an premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design assistance continues an essential component of our offering, irrespective of the ongoing development phase of your artwork.
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will carefully tailor our processes to those guidelines to get ready your files for final-stage production.
Because packaging calls for a far greater resolution than a website , we must rebuild any provided JPEG or alternative image file format for print use.
From your initial burst of creativity, our committed team shapes bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, creating custom measurements when no standard box fits. Your ideas direct our approach. We set out the essential technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we develop.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to customise a container and include your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored meeting should you would like to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Polmont’s industries
We produce bespoke packaging for beverage creators, food producers, cosmetic labels and e-commerce businesses throughout Polmont.
Every industry sets out particular standards, starting with food-contact standards to the specified finish for high-grade boxes.
Food and drink
To s\ucceed in the extensive and extremely competitive Scottish food and drink industry, your packaging must guarantee product safety whilst equally appealing to consumers on the retail shelf.
Were you aware we have BRC Global Packaging certification to High Hygiene level? Our food packaging is made under carefully controlled, auditable conditions that retailers review before listing any product!
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce custom printed bottle cartons and premium gift packaging for independent distilleries and small-batch spirit producers, completing each creation with premium embellishments like foil detailing, raised embossing and velvet soft-touch lamination.
This no minimum order threshold enables a distillery to order a limited print run for special releases without the need of acquiring excessive quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skincare, haircare and beauty brands, we produce bespoke printed cartons featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty containers must protect sensitive glassware and pressed powders whilst commanding attention on retail displays, a task largely achieved through the specified surface texture.

Our craft centres on creating bespoke postage cartons, custom wrapping tissue and tailored packaging structures for e-commerce merchants and subscription enterprises.
Custom packaging safeguards the goods during transit to minimise expensive breakages and customer replacements.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We manufacture fully recyclable boxes employing the inherent characteristics of the board used.
Did you know that our excellent board and paper come from entirely FSC and PEFC certified sources? This means we can reliably track every individual sheet through a strictly audited process directly back to wonderfully managed forests!
As a highly durable and defensive choice for mailing and delivery, corrugated board represents one of the most extensively recycled packaging materials utilised across the United Kingdom.
We are methodically removing single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations because these materials present significant reprocessing challenges and cause considerable environmental damage once discarded.
We recommend using recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans allow, reducing waste through smarter planning.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging generally calls for an initial manufacturing run of at least 500 or one thousand individual boxes.
When a firm tries a new product or sets out a restricted seasonal selection, they need to cover both goods and holding costs long before any sales are guaranteed.
Ready to launch to get started? We apply no minimum order limits, meaning you can take everything from one box to a massive run of ten thousand! This turns a tiny initial order the ideal low-risk approach to trial your market.
We offer written validation of your expenses for every volume prior to manufacturing, whilst later production runs utilise your existing designs to ensure that scaling the company requires no extra creative development.

Custom packaging Polmont FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is made carefully around the specific dimensions and specifications of your item. Every detail of the dimensions, material density, architecture, print and tactile finish is curated for your specific contents, ensuring a flawless fit that carries your corporate identity with pride. While merely stamping a logo onto a generic carton constitutes personalised packaging, true custom creation builds the entire experience from the actual product upwards.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose no minimum minimum order requirements, meaning you can purchase anything from one box to thousands. This adaptability helps solo creators and companies trying out new merchandise. Your unit cost reduces as your order volume grows, and we always offer a documented price estimation before manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Polmont?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine serves commercial clients across Polmont. Producing our products within Scotland ensures we keep down both lead times and transport expenses for businesses in the north.
What are your lead times?
Once you sign off on the proof, we move ahead immediately! Most orders take only two to three weeks, and a standard carton can be faster again. Do you have a strict deadline? Let us know when you enquire and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely transform a simple concept and logo into finished, ready-to-print files, including a dedicated design consultation during the process. Or, you can begin the project yourself using our virtual creator before handing it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton is completely recyclable and manufactured from approved forest board with both FSC and PEFC certifications. We carefully eschew plastic laminates and coatings which block successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations require otherwise, consistently explaining every available alternative beforehand.
