What custom packaging means
Our custom-made packaging is meticulously engineered to accommodate a particular item, giving you the option to pick the dimensions, the layout, the graphics and the final surface finish.
Attaching a logo to a preassembled box remains a different and far more restricted process.
Our understanding of a fully customisable box involves that we accurately tailor the dimensions to fit your particular product, select the ideal board weight based on likely handling, and apply print to whichever panels you need.
To begin with, we thoroughly sketch the packaging around the product from the very start of the design process.
From its innovative hub in Sandfordhill, Custom Pack Studio works with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a wide-ranging range of box styles, each tailored to custom dimensions and fully printed with your individual branding artwork.
Determining the most suitable presentation for your merchandise relies upon its intrinsic nature, your sales strategy, and the fulfilment process, each of which our specialists will help you choose.
Folding cartons
Shop items commonly employ crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as typical packaging formats.
Designed with top-and-bottom closure flaps that insert in reverse directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Created with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box effortlessly supports bulkier merchandise to avoid any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations operating in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging protects your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time turning the unpacking experience into an essential extension of your brand identity.
Entirely printed throughout, this durable mailer box swaps out standard brown parcels to give ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing event that readily survives the post.
We additionally craft gusseted ecommerce boxes, providing the perfect, spacious fit for products requiring a greater or adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip-on sleeves encase your products or inner tray to offer immediate branding whilst protecting your original packaging, providing an efficient and economical solution for promotional ranges and short-term stock.
Created to surround your merchandise like a stylish folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an refined and flat display that is ideally suited for presenting cards, prints and narrow retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To raise items purchased as gift items, utilising bespoke gift packaging provides the premium finish your clientele looks for while eliminating the trouble of wrapping.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that simply justifies a higher price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design support is completely built in into our service, whatever the existing progress point of your artwork.
When you supply us with your existing brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will diligently work to these specifications to create your final files for the manufacturing process.
Because packaging demands much higher resolution than a website , we have to reconstruct any submitted JPEG or other image file format for print production.
Starting with only just a rudimentary 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 set out each technical decision throughout the process, including the selection of material calibre and image definition.
Alternatively, you could make use of our online creator to tailor a carton and add your own logo before reaching out, or schedule a creative meeting if you want to discussing your ideas beforehand.
