Bringing a product to market from Portaferry already needs thorough planning, including stock, shipping, and the label placed on the box.
Custom Pack Studio creates and prints custom-made packaging at our factory in Irvine, UK. Orders shipped to Portaferry addresses go through the same production line and courier network as every other UK order.
Every box is created specifically for your product, with no minimum order requirement and design guidance available from the very first sketch.
Getting tailor-made packaging provided for Portaferry
Portaferry lies just a brief crossing from our factory in Irvine.
We manufacture all products ourselves, providing us with direct control over how and when your custom packaging order is shipped, without a reseller involved.
Orders destined for Northern Ireland pass through the same nationwide courier network as all other delivery we dispatch. Allow two to three weeks from approved proof until reaching your door.
As a packaging supplier, we would rather provide a practical delivery timescale from the outset instead of promise swift delivery and fail to meet it.
Reduced-size orders are delivered in a standard tracked parcel.
For large-volume Portaferry clients, bulk runs are combined into fewer, larger consignments, cutting down on handling and helping to keep costs down.
Containers and packing we make
Most Portaferry orders use a small range of formats, each made to fit your product rather than taken from existing stock.
Our printing service provides either full-colour litho or digital printing, selected according to your required run size.
Mailing and shipping boxes for online orders
A custom-made mailer box folds flat and secures itself without the use of tape, keeping the product stable across a delivery network that crosses the Irish Sea each working day.
Print the outside, so customers spot the parcel before opening it. Print the inside as well, making unboxing part of the experience once the tape is taken off.
We can help you develop packaging that makes an impact from the moment it arrives.
Shop cartons and corrugated cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons are appropriate for lighter retail products, including cosmetics and supplements, whereas a crash lock base supports heavier items without the bottom collapsing.
Corrugated board provides protective packaging for goods placed on a pallet, repeatedly handled, or intended for a shelf in Portaferry.
Its aim is to safeguard your products, not simply occupy space in a van.
Jackets, present boxes and bags
A slide on sleeve provides branding for a product or inner tray without requiring an completely new box, making it suitable for small runs and seasonal ranges.
Gift boxes and wallets can complete your packaging supplies, giving every order with a polished finish.
One wallet style box folds tidily around cards, prints or slim products. It provides a tidy, premium finish while avoiding the unnecessary bulk of a full carton.
There is no minimum order, regardless the size of your Portaferry organisation.
Unsure whether getting started involves ordering a thousand boxes? It is easy to assume so, with minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units being customary across the industry.
For a small Portaferry brand, that figure alone could make bespoke packaging not viable prior to serious consideration.
That isn’t how we operate.
Purchase a single box to check the print before you commit, or select fifty for a market stall or soft launch. Regardless of the size of your run, you will receive a reasonable price.
Scale up production to meet whatever quantity a retailer requires after they have signed you up.
Regardless of size, every order gets the same print quality and finish, fresh from the same production line. Quality packaging should never be based on order size.
Rates that changes with quantity, nothing more
Your pricing reflects the quantity ordered, and every quotation receives written confirmation before production begins.
The quoted amount represents your invoice, while subsequent orders keep the existing setup and artwork, helping reduce costs as your business expands.
Creative support if you lack an in-house designer
Your project can begin with us without an in-house designer. Every order comes with design support, whatever stage your artwork has reached.
Provide the completed artwork in print-ready form. We will prepare it for press and verify colour and resolution directly on the printed board.
Bring us your logo and an initial idea, and alongside our team, you can develop the custom packaging design and prepare the print-ready files.
Our online design tool creates your box in 3D, enabling you to customise it and preview it before it is printed.
There’s also a design consultation if you’d prefer to explore your options with someone rather than a screen.
Portaferry organisation sectors that we package for
Packaging for food and drink receives the highest level of scrutiny, making it a sector in which we specialise.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level means Northern Ireland producers are provided with cartons and food contact packaging produced in controlled, completely traceable conditions.
It is the certification retailers generally require before agreeing to list a product.
Online retailers in Portaferry ship across the country, while a mailer box designed for the product helps minimise damage and returns. It additionally makes opening the order more exciting than receiving a ordinary parcel.
The remainder contains gift and hamper businesses, subscription box providers and independent beauty makers, all requiring packaging suited to their individual needs.
Foil stamping gives an refined finish to a gift box, while a tailored insert holds the bottle securely in place during transport.
Our purpose is to develop bespoke solutions that complement your product exactly while making a lasting impact.
Environmentally friendly materials backed by official certification
Every box we make is 100% recyclable as we use quality board and paper from FSC and PEFC sources. An audited chain links these materials back to forests managed responsibly.
We do not use plastic coatings or laminates that stop a box from being recycled, unless food safety requires them. In such cases, we will make this clear without hiding the reason.
Making everything at our own Scotland factory also lowers the delivery footprint compared with importing environmentally friendly materials, or any other products, from distant countries.
