What custom packaging means
We design our bespoke packaging especially for your product, letting you pick the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
By contrast, applying a personalised logo onto a standard, ready-made carton constitutes a different task with limited customisation options.
Our definition of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its actual journey, and the print neatly covers your chosen panels.
We design the packaging carefully around the product from the initial stage.
We truly love partnering with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers across the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We create varied box styles to your layout specifications. Each order includes custom sizing and vibrant full colour printing of your unique branding.
The most suitable packaging design for your item is shaped by its physical nature, sales approach, and delivery journey, and our specialists will guide your selection.
Folding cartons
Traditional retail packaging solutions regularly employs the standard designs of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging option for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Created with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon opening, the crash-lock box effortlessly supports heavier merchandise to prevent any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are provided in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a bespoke mailing carton protects your merchandise whilst in transit during transit and enhances the unboxing experience into a central element of your marketing.
By displaying bespoke artwork on all surfaces, these sturdy postal cartons turn routine deliveries into compelling tactile stories that far surpass the banality of conventional packaging.
We also produce gusseted e-commerce boxes, which neatly fit items requiring a more adaptable or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A elegant sleeve moves easily over a product or inside tray to instantly introduce vibrant branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, delivering an extremely effective and cost-effective solution for presenting special seasonal lines and limited-run releases.
Encasing the contents like a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens to display a cleanly flat and sophisticated showcase that is well suited for showcasing brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items bought as gifts, using bespoke gift packaging provides the premium finish your customers expects while taking away the trouble of wrapping.
First, choose rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to create premium packaging that simply justifies a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our support readily includes full design help as a standard feature, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files ready to use? We can begin right away to ready your designs for production!
We prepare supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print production because packaging demands greater resolution than digital platforms need.
Beginning with just a initial outline, our dedicated specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst customising a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We regularly guide you through each technical decision, meticulously clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Use our online design tool to customise your box and add branding independently, or schedule a consultation now if you would rather discuss the project first.

A packaging supplier perfect for Portlethen businesses
Our business fabricates the entirety of our entire product range at our specialised production facility situated within Irvine in Ayrshire.
We help Portlethen enterprises by keeping short lead times and minimising transport fees.

Custom Pack Studio works as a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer establishing print and packaging solutions in Scotland from 1997.
Our specialist team creates your boxes on their own presses to help ensure that the print and finish satisfy the standards of an renowned producer.
To ensure complete accuracy, you will be provided with either a hard-copy sample if required by the format and a digital proof before we begin the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we manufacture stays entirely ideal for recycling, and this eco-friendly characteristic derives directly from the make-up of the board itself.
Did you know that our excellent board and paper come from fully FSC and PEFC certified sources? This means we can reliably follow every single sheet through a strictly audited process straight back to carefully managed forests!
Mailers and delivery packaging formats use corrugated board because this highly durable material shields products and remains one of the most frequently recycled packaging options in Portlethen.
We are methodically eliminating disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is since these materials are difficult to recycle and damage the environment when discarded.
We suggest making use of recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans allow, avoiding waste through smarter planning.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging options usually need a minimum manufacturing order of either around 500 and 1,000 individual units.
When enterprises pilot an unfamiliar item or create limited-run festive collections, they face the burden of funding inventory and warehousing prior to establishing the market demand.
Because we set absolutely no minimum order requirements, you retain complete control over the amount, whether you need one individual box or a batch run of 10,000, which means that an initial modest batch works as a very safe method for assessing consumer demand.
We always set out the pricing in writing for each quantity before production starts. As repeat orders use the same artwork, increasing volume does not requires redesigning the packaging.

Custom packaging Portlethen FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is engineered precisely to the physical dimensions and technical requirements of your specific item. The dimensions, material thickness, structural integrity, graphic design, and surface finish are all calibrated for your merchandise, ensuring the container protects snugly whilst expressing your corporate identity. Just affixing a brand mark to a standard container amounts to personalised packaging, whereas true custom packaging is developed entirely from the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you want a single container or large quantities, we accommodate all orders because we apply no minimum volume requirements across all of our packaging styles. This versatile approach is well structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses entering the market or exploring a new market offering. Our pricing structures generally favour larger volumes, and we always provide a comprehensive written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Portlethen?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility serves enterprises in Portlethen. Nearby production reduces wait times and shipping expenses for regional brands._
What are your lead times?
Once you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require a couple of weeks for completion, though simpler cartons are often completed more quickly. If you have a specific date to meet, please let know us during your first enquiry so we can check if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently use only a straightforward concept and a brand symbol to compile highly polished finished designs, a process that naturally features a expert creative consultation. Alternatively, you may begin the first layout working with our digital creation platform and then transfer the project to us for finishing.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each and every individual box we make is fully recyclable and made from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We intentionally avoid 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 help you understand your available choices beforehand.
