What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging entirely around your specific product. Your concept guides the design, defining the exact dimensions, build, printing and finish.
Attaching a logo onto a ready-made carton is a separate and far more narrow undertaking.
Our definition of a fully customisable box involves that we carefully tailor the dimensions to suit your particular product, determine the ideal board weight based on anticipated handling, and apply print to whichever panels you require.
From the outset of the design phase, final packaging is meticulously tailored to encase the product.
Custom Pack Studio works with food producers, cosmetics businesses, online retailers and boutique distilleries nationwide.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a wide-ranging collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly producing your personal design in bold, full colour printing.
To establish the perfect format for your product, we consider its type, sales journey, and distribution method, and our helpful team is here to help you at each stage.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to explore the true classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ideal routine packaging formats that every retail shelf needs!
Are you to discover the ultimate packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features practical flaps that fold inside at both ends, making it the best match for housing featherweight essentials such as your preferred cosmetics and daily supplements!
Crash lock boxes feature a self-assembling base that locks instantly upon opening to support heavier items, whilst both designs ship flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
Custom mailing boxes keep safe your e-commerce products during transit and transform standard shipping into a powerful branding tool.
Who likes boring brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an amazing unboxing thrill, plus they are strong enough to easily survive the post!
Our specialists further create expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for consignments needing greater depth or adaptable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
To simply add branding without replacing your current packaging, you can just place a over-sleeve sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an economical solution for seasonal ranges and limited edition collections.
Are you ready? This remarkable wallet-style box packages your items as a sleek folder to deliver an high-end, flat display that is completely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Custom gift boxes offer the refined presentation retail customers look for for gift purchases whilst entirely eliminating the need to wrap anything.
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 easily supports a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We incorporate design help into our service, embracing your artwork at every stage of the creation process.
Should you already have defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will faithfully align with your specifications to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
When a brand mark is sent in a raster or alternative pixel format, we carefully recreate it for manufacturing needs because physical packaging demands a significantly greater amount of visual clarity than a virtual platform needs.
From a basic early concept, our specialists refine your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, designing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We clarify every technical specification throughout the workflow, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may use our design software to personalise a packaging solution and include your bespoke corporate identity prior to starting contact, or otherwise schedule a creative appointment should you want to discuss your requirements earlier.
