What custom packaging means
We design our bespoke packaging specifically and carefully for your product, giving you the freedom to select the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
Are you ready to discover how customising a regular carton is in fact a entirely separate and far more constrained ballgame?
By choosing our bespoke packaging, you will get customised casing dimensions matched to your item, relevant board durability picked for its intended journey, and personalised printing on your preferred surfaces.
We design the packaging closely around the product from the very first stage.
We absolutely love working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers throughout the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We create an wide variety of packaging styles, which are all made to suit to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Selecting the most appropriate template for your merchandise relies entirely upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
To package retail products, businesses frequently utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Designed with ends that fit at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is well suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports heavier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For online stores, bespoke mailing boxes safeguard products during transit whilst making the delivery process into an extension of your branding.
By using double-sided printing, a customised mailer box raises the standard delivery into a very professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
We additionally produce gusseted e-commerce boxes, which perfectly fit items needing a greater or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Are you hoping to strengthen your brand visibility without changing your current boxes? A slide-on sleeve fits neatly around your merchandise or inner tray to immediately enhance your look! It is the ideal budget-friendly answer for making short-term ranges and exclusive limited-edition collections stand out with energy.
This wallet-style box surrounds the item like a file folder to provide a smooth and upmarket display for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Branded gift boxes provide the high-end presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to cover anything.
Durable rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and bespoke inserts perfectly suit Rothesay. Adding luxury finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch laminating will enhance this range to warrant an higher retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Comprehensive design support is completely integrated into our service, no matter the existing progress point of your artwork.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files set to go? We can jump right in to ready your designs for final manufacture!
When a brand mark is supplied in a raster or different pixel format, we precisely replicate it for production purposes because tangible packaging demands a considerably greater level of image clarity than a digital platform demands.
Beginning with simply a basic concept, our specialists create the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while preparing a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We explain each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Alternatively, you may, you could make use of our online creator to personalise a carton and add your own logo before get in touch, or book a creative meeting if you prefer discussing your ideas beforehand.

As bearers of the prestigious BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, we assure that our food packaging is manufactured within carefully controlled and auditable environments. This strict standard provides total compliance before retailers accept any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We craft bespoke printed bottle cartons and premium gift packaging for independent distilleries and artisan spirit producers, completing each creation with refined embellishments like metallic foil, raised embossing and velvet soft-touch lamination.
Distilleries can print limited releases in limited quantities without large-scale commitments thanks to our zero minimum order policy.

Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging solutions typically call for a minimum manufacturing order of either around 500 or 1,000 individual units.
When businesses test an unfamiliar item or produce limited-run festive collections, they bear the cost of financing inventory and warehousing before establishing the market demand.
Through placing no minimum order restrictions whatsoever, we enable you to select the specific volume required, spanning a single box to a production run of ten thousand, thereby ensuring that an initial modest batch serves as a highly cost-effective method to evaluate marketplace demand.
We consistently set out pricing in writing for each quantity before production begins. Since repeat orders use the same artwork, increasing volume does not requires redesigning the packaging.
