What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously created to accommodate a certain item, giving you the option to pick the measurements, the layout, the graphics and the end finish.
Are you all prepared to discover how modifying a standard carton is in fact a totally distinct and considerably more constrained ballgame?
Our understanding of a completely bespoke box entails that we carefully tailor the dimensions to match your individual product, select the most suitable board weight based on expected handling, and add print to whichever panels you need.
From the beginning of the design phase, final packaging is precisely tailored to encase the product itself.
From its innovative hub in Port Glasgow, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with dedicated food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers across the nation.
The custom packaging we make
We create varied box styles to your layout specifications. All order comes with bespoke sizing and bright full colour printing of your individual branding.
How does your impressive creation actually find its way to your buyers? The perfect packaging style always depends on those individual sales and shipping journeys, and our passionate squad is on hand to help you choose the best match!
Folding cartons
Are you prepared to explore the real classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ultimate routine packaging formats that each shop shelf needs!
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which offers an ideal packaging option for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Engineered with a base that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box simply supports heavier merchandise to prevent 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
Are you currently trading online? An bespoke mailer box will keep safe your product within the courier network while transforming delivery into a memorable brand experience!
Entirely designed on the inside and outside, this durable mailer box substitutes dull brown parcels to provide ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing moment that readily survives the post.
Also, we produce gusseted e-commerce boxes for products requiring extra depth or an adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slipover jacket envelops a branded item or a separate container to deliver clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an extremely practical and economical refinement for limited-run lines and special releases.
Surrounding the contents as a refined portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens to display a beautifully flat and stylish showcase that is perfect for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a surprise, a tailored gift box delivers the beautiful packaging that recipients look for while completely saving them the chore of packing.
Can you visualise the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit this area seamlessly, whilst high-end finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination quickly elevate the design to premium packaging that effortlessly achieves a better price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our offering happily includes full design assistance as a standard feature, no matter your current artwork stage.
Should you have defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will carefully align with your requirements to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
When a brand mark is supplied in a bitmap or different image format, we meticulously replicate it for production needs because printed packaging demands a significantly greater amount of image clarity than a virtual platform requires.
From your very first spark of ideas, our dedicated team develops bespoke box structures and polished print-ready artwork, creating custom sizes when no standard box fits. We are guided by your vision. We outline the key technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we work.
Alternatively, you can use our online creator to personalise a carton and add your own logo before get in touch, or schedule a creative meeting if you prefer discussing your ideas beforehand.
Custom packaging for Port Glasgow’s industries
We create bespoke packaging for drinks brands, food producers, beauty labels and e-commerce businesses throughout Port Glasgow.
Every industry has its own unique set of standards, ranging from rigorous food safety compliance to the perfect finish required for a luxury carton!
Food and drink
In the expansive and highly competitive food and drink sector of Scotland, packaging must satisfy stringent safety standards for direct product contact while simultaneously attracting visual attention on the retail shelf.
As a company holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we make our food containers within carefully controlled and fully auditable environments which supermarkets review prior to endorsing any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We craft custom printed bottle cartons and exquisite gift packaging for boutique distilleries and artisan spirit producers, completing each creation with premium embellishments like metallic foil, tactile embossing and soft-touch lamination.
By doing away with minimum order restrictions, we empower a distillery to create a small-batch run for an limited release without the pressure of committing to higher volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
We produce bespoke printed packaging for cosmetic and haircare organisations, featuring specialised embellishments like tactile lamination, metallic foiling and structural embossing._
Beauty containers must safeguard fragile glassware and pressed powders whilst commanding attention on retail displays, a task mainly achieved through the chosen surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We help online retailers and subscription brands by thoughtfully designing custom mailer boxes, printed tissue and bespoke inserts.
Custom packaging shaped specifically to the item helps ensure its protected passage through the mail system, which in the end minimises the high burden of breakage and product replacements.
In addition, a bespoke printed carton offers the recipient a significantly more immersive unboxing experience overall than unadorned , ordinary packaging provides.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we manufacture is completely recyclable because of the inherent qualities of the cardboard material.
By obtaining our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified origins, we make sure each sheet is kept fully traceable through an verified pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Utilised heavily for postal cartons and delivery boxes, corrugated board provides strong protection whilst staying one of the commonly recycled packaging mediums across the United Kingdom.
We are actively and consistently removing single-use plastic and EPS from our activities because these problematic materials do not support recycling and eventually damage our delicate environment.
We suggest utilising recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans permit, cutting down on waste through smarter design.
