Taking a product to market from Rasharkin already needs careful planning, including stock, shipping, and the label placed on the box.
From our factory in Irvine, UK, Custom Pack Studio designs and prints custom packaging, while Rasharkin addresses pass through the same production line and courier network as every other UK order.
Each box is made especially for your product, without a minimum order and design support provided from the first sketch.
Securing bespoke packaging supplied directly to Rasharkin
Rasharkin is located only a short crossing away from our factory in Irvine.
Because we manufacture every item ourselves, we determine directly how and when your custom packaging order is dispatched, with no reseller standing between us.
Orders destined for Northern Ireland use the same nationwide courier network as all other deliveries we dispatch, with a timeframe of two to three weeks from proof approval to delivery to your door.
As a supplier of packaging, we feel a truthful delivery estimate is better than promising swift fulfilment and subsequently missing the deadline.
Reduced-size orders are sent in a standard tracked parcel.
For large-volume Rasharkin clients, bulk deliveries are consolidated into fewer, larger consignments, reducing handling requirements and helping to control total costs.
Packages and packaging we make
Most Rasharkin orders come in a limited number of formats, each developed specifically around your product rather than chosen from existing shelf stock.
Our printing service offers either full-colour litho or digital printing, chosen based on your required run size.
Postal and parcel boxes for web purchases
A bespoke mailer box folds flat and secures itself without tape. It keeps the product stable throughout a courier network that already travels across the Irish Sea each working day.
Print the outside, so customers notice the parcel before they open it. Print the inside too, making unboxing part of the experience as soon as the tape is removed.
We can help you create packaging that leaves an impression on delivery.
Store cartons and corrugated shipping cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons are ideal for lower-weight retail products, including cosmetics and supplements, while a crash lock base holds heavier items without the bottom giving way.
Corrugated board offers protective packaging for any item stacked on a pallet, handled repeatedly, or intended for a shelf in Rasharkin.
Its function is to safeguard your products, rather than simply take up space in a van.
Wraps, gift boxes and wallets
A slide on sleeve adds branding to a product or inner tray, without needing an entirely new box, making it ideal for short runs and seasonal ranges.
Gift boxes and wallets can offer the final touch to an order’s packaging supplies.
A wallet style box encloses cards, prints or slim products in a flat format. It offers a tidy premium finish without the bulk of a full carton.
There is no minimum order, irrespective of the level of your Rasharkin business.
You may be asking whether getting started means ordering a thousand boxes. After all, across the industry, minimum orders for 500 or 1,000 units are common.
For a smaller Rasharkin brand, that figure alone may exclude bespoke packaging before it warrants serious consideration.
That is just not the way we do things!
Order a single box to review the print before committing, or fifty for a market stall or soft launch. Whatever the size of your order, you will get an reasonable price.
Once a retailer has enrolled you, raise your provision to satisfy any quantity it requires.
Irrespective of order size, each item get identical print quality and the same finish, since each product leaves the same production line. Quality packaging should never be dependent on the size of the order.
Rates that increases with order size, no additional fees.
Costs vary according to order volume, and we verify each quotation in writing before production starts.
The specified figure is your invoice amount, while reorders retain the same setup and artwork, helping keep costs low as your business grows.
Creative support if you haven’t got an resident design specialist
You do not require an in-house designer to place an order with us. Design support is included with every order, regardless of your artwork’s current stage.
Provide completed, press ready artwork, and we will prepare it for printing, verifying colour accuracy and resolution directly on the printed board.
Just provide your logo and a rough concept, afterwards, our team will create the custom packaging design and prepare the print ready files with you!
Our online design tool creates your box in 3D, enabling you to customise it and preview it before it is printed.
A design consultation is also available if you prefer reviewing the options with a person rather than using a screen.
Rasharkin firm sectors which we package for
Only a few industries are subject to greater scrutiny over food and drink packaging, an area 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 made under controlled, fully traceable conditions.
This is the kind of certification a retailer needs prior to listing a product.
Online sellers based in Rasharkin ship nationwide, while a mailer box tailored to the product helps limit damage and returns. It also gives customers a more satisfying experience than opening a plain parcel.
Gift and hamper brands, subscription box companies and independent beauty makers round out the mix, each requiring different packaging.
Foil stamping gives a gift box a luxurious elegance, while a fitted insert holds the bottle firmly in place in transit.
Our aim is to develop customised solutions that complement your product exactly while making a lasting impression.
Sustainable materials verified with legitimate certification
Each box we make is 100% recyclable because we use quality board and paper from FSC and PEFC sources. The materials are traceable through a chain that has been audited to responsibly managed forests.
We avoid plastic coatings and laminates that prevent a box from being recycled, unless they are required for food safety. When this happens, we will say so clearly, rather than embellish the truth.
Manufacturing everything at our own Scotland factory also lowers the delivery footprint compared to bringing in eco-friendly materials or anything else from distant overseas locations.
