What custom packaging means
We craft tailored packaging designed entirely around your particular product by giving you complete control over the dimensions, design, printing and finishing!
Attaching a logo to a pre-made box continues to be a distinct and considerably more restricted process.
Our understanding of a fully adaptable box entails that we carefully tailor the dimensions to match your individual product, select the best board weight based on likely handling, and print print to whichever panels you require.
We develop the packaging design directly around the product from the very first stage.
Custom Pack Studio serves food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Saltcoats.
The custom packaging we make
Are you prepared to make your packaging ideas a reality? We create a wide variety of box styles, all custom-made to your precise dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your own artwork!
To identify the most suitable format for your product, we consider its nature, sales path, and distribution approach, and our encouraging team is here to assist you at each stage.
Folding cartons
Shop products commonly utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as standard packaging formats.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the upper and lower flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging choice for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box reliably supports bulkier items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are delivered flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses selling online, a custom mailer box secures your creation during its arduous journey. Instantly, a simple delivery becomes an memorable chapter of your brand story.
Entirely printed inside and out, this durable mailer box swaps out dull brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an memorable unboxing event that readily survives the post.
In addition, we produce expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products requiring more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an stylish branding opportunity that preserves the original packaging, offering an remarkably convenient and affordable solution for short-term seasonal lines and special limited-edition releases.
Designed to envelop the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an stylish flat display for shop goods, photographs and stationery.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a surprise, a tailored gift box delivers the exquisite packaging that buyers expect while fully removing them the task of wrapping.
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure boxes and printed inserts are extremely strong options, while finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that effectively justifies a elevated price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service gladly includes full design support as part of the standard service, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Once you supply us with your established brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will closely follow these guidelines to create your final files for the manufacturing phase.
We reconstruct supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print use because packaging needs more resolution than digital platforms need.
Beginning with merely a rudimentary concept, our specialists create the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while engineering a bespoke blueprint when conventional containers are unsuitable. We set out each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Alternatively, you may make use of our virtual design program to customise a packaging solution and integrate your bespoke corporate identity prior to making contact, or alternatively schedule a creative appointment should you want to review your requirements beforehand.

Do do you require high-quality packaging for your food and drink, distillery, cosmetics or e-commerce business? We develop brands with impressive boxes and wraps right across Saltcoats!
Every separate field dictates its own particular requirements, from the rigorous safety standards of food packaging to the exceptional aesthetic quality required by premium luxury boxes.
Food and drink
The gastronomy and beverage industry within Scotland is both wide-ranging and extremely competitive, required that product packaging ensures absolute safety upon touch whilst simultaneously attracting attention on the retail shelf.
Did you realise we maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at a High Hygiene level? Our packaging is produced under fully controlled, auditable conditions that retailers review before listing any product!
Whisky and craft spirits
Are you ready to elevate your identity? We manufacture bespoke printed bottle cartons and luxury gift packaging for upmarket whisky distilleries and artisan spirit producers, providing impressive finishes like hot foil, deep embossing and velvety soft-touch lamination!
Distilleries can print limited releases in small quantities without high-volume commitments thanks to our no minimum order policy.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skincare, hair care and beauty brands, we produce high-quality printed cartons featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty containers must protect delicate glassware and pressed powders whilst attracting attention on retail displays, a task largely achieved through the selected surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We manufacture bespoke corporate postal boxes, personalised wrapping paper, and tailored internal packaging solutions specifically designed for e-commerce merchants and subscription-based businesses.
Custom packaging shaped specifically to the item guarantees its protected passage through the mail system, which ultimately reduces the expensive burden of breakage and product replacements.
An illustrated carton further provides the consumer with a much better unboxing experience than a standard package.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each of the manufactured cartons is completely recyclable because the natural properties of the board itself give this eco-friendly quality.
We obtain all of our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each individual sheet is completely traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to responsibly managed forests.
Mailers and shipping formats utilise corrugated board because this highly durable material shields products and remains one of the most often recycled packaging options in Saltcoats.
Ready for a bit of fantastic news? We are completely phasing out single-use plastic and EPS from our operations! For what reason? Because those troublesome white foam blocks and plastics are particularly difficult to recycle, causing significant environmental hazards once disposed of. we are replacing them with greener alternatives!
Why not switch to eco-friendly, paper-based shielding alternatives and fully remove waste wherever your design permits?
Order one box or ten thousand

Are you testing an exciting latest product or producing a limited short-run collection? That can mean covering stock and storage in advance before you even know it sells!
Because we impose absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you retain complete control over the volume, whether you need a single individual box or a manufacturing run of 10,000, which ensures that an first small batch acts as a very safe method for evaluating consumer demand.

Custom packaging Saltcoats FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging matches your product dimensions and requirements exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are adapted to your cargo to ensure a precise fit and promote your brand. Applying a logo onto a standard carton simply creates personalised packaging. True custom packaging is built around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose absolutely no minimum limits on any format, meaning you are able to order a one carton or large quantities. Such freedom is well suited for independent creators and those undertaking initial product trials. Our rates fall as your order volume increases, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Saltcoats?
Our production facility in Irvine enables direct transportation to businesses throughout Saltcoats. Manufacturing within Scotland ensures that both delivery durations and shipping expenses stay highly affordable for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Upon your final sign off of the design, the most of commissions require 14 days to 21 days for completion, though less complex packaging often progresses at a quicker pace. Should you hold a definite completion date, please advise this during your first consultation so we are able to confirm our capacity to fit around your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often start our innovative journey with nothing more than a brand emblem and a brief concept, developing your initial thoughts into fully realised production-ready files. A collaborative design consultation is integrated into this experience to guide your vision. Alternatively, you can begin the process yourself by making use of our digital design platform before giving the reins to our specialists whenever you feel prepared.

Each carton is entirely recyclable and made from accredited forest board with the two FSC and PEFC certifications. We deliberately avoid plastic laminates and coatings which hinder successful reclamation unless strict hygiene regulations demand otherwise, always explaining each available alternative beforehand.
