What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging built fully around your individual product by providing you full control over the size, style, printing and finish!
Modifying a pre-made carton with a embossed brand mark poses a different and far more restricted undertaking.
Our interpretation of a totally customisable box means the dimensions are suited specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its physical journey, and the print neatly covers your chosen panels.
The design of the packaging commences at the same time with the initial stage of the product design phase.
We truly adore working with food producers, cosmetics brands, online sellers and craft spirits makers throughout the nation!
The custom packaging we make
We create diverse box styles to your format specifications. All order comes with custom sizing and vibrant full colour printing of your individual branding.
Picking the most suitable presentation for your item is a journey determined by its particular nature, sales channel, and ultimate delivery, a journey our specialist specialists will help you navigate.
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the traditional packaging configurations.
With closing flaps at the top and base, the gentle reverse tuck end carton attractively cradles light items like cosmetics and supplements.
Engineered with a base that mechanically interlocks upon opening, the crash-lock box effortlessly supports heavier merchandise to avoid any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For those selling online, a custom mailer box keeps safe your creation throughout its arduous journey. Instantly, a plain delivery becomes an evocative chapter of your brand story.
Who needs plain brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an impressive unboxing moment, plus they are strong enough to readily survive the post!
Moreover, we manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons created specifically for products demanding more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket covers a brand item or an inner container to provide visible merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an highly practical and cost-effective refinement for limited-run lines and limited-edition releases.
Made to wrap around your merchandise like a streamlined folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an attractive and flat display that is perfectly suited for showcasing cards, prints and slender retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When buying items meant as presents, using a custom presentation box improves the entire appearance to match consumer requirements whilst entirely doing away with the need for manual wrapping.
Can you imagine the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit the space perfectly, whilst premium finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination quickly enhance the design to luxury packaging that easily garners a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to turn your ideas to life? We offer full creative support as part of our service, no matter how finished your artwork is!

Custom packaging for Sheddocksley’s industries
Across Sheddocksley, we craft high-quality packaging for food-and-drink producers, distilleries, cosmetics brands and e-commerce sellers.
All field sets its own standards, whether it is hygiene in food contact to the high-quality finish a high-end carton requires.
Food and drink
The culinary industry within Scotland is equally broad and extremely competitive, demanding that product packaging provides total safety upon handling whilst simultaneously attracting attention on the retail shelf.
Did you realise we maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level? Food packaging is made under carefully controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before placing any product!
Whisky and craft spirits
Our business manufactures bespoke printed bottle cartons alongside high-quality presentation boxes tailored particularly for independent spirit producers and Sheddocksley distilleries, incorporating sophisticated embellishments like foil decoration, embossed textures, and luxurious soft touch lamination.
By eliminating minimum order requirements, our method enables a distillery to produce a small batch for a boutique release without the pressure of buying bulk quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skin care, haircare and beauty brands, we create high-quality printed cartons featuring soft-touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty vessels must shield delicate glass and delicate compacts whilst commanding interest on the boutique display, a dual success achieved chiefly through the skill of the final coating.

We provide a digital layout and a tangible prototype for approval before starting full production.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each item we produce is entirely recyclable due to the natural characteristics of the cardboard material.
By procuring our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified origins, we make sure each sheet is kept fully traceable through an checked pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Trusted to safeguard mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board provides robust, consistent protection, standing out as one of the UK’s most widely recycled packaging materials.
We are actively and steadily phasing out single-use plastic and EPS from our operations because these problematic materials do not support recycling and eventually endanger our fragile environment.
Whenever the project layout allows, our team advocates utilising recyclable paper or sustainable protective materials whilst deliberately avoiding extra surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging typically calls for an first manufacturing run of at least five hundred or 1,000 individual boxes.
Introducing a new product or running limited seasonal runs forces businesses to finance stock and storage before confirming any sales.
Without any minimum order restrictions to restrict you, your order volume is entirely your choice, from one solitary box to 10,000. A quiet debut becomes a safe way to trial the marketplace .
Are you ready? We can guarantee your written quote for any volume before we even start the presses, and because we save your original artwork for future runs, building your brand is an absolute breeze!

Custom packaging Sheddocksley FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging matches your product measurements and details exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are designed to your cargo to provide a precise fit and support your brand. Applying a logo onto a standard carton only creates personalised packaging. True custom packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose zero minimum order restrictions, meaning you can order anything from one carton to large quantities. This flexibility benefits indie makers and organisations trialling new merchandise. Your unit cost falls as your order volume increases, and we always offer a documented price estimation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Sheddocksley?
Our manufacturing site in Irvine supports direct transportation to businesses throughout Sheddocksley. Manufacturing within Scotland ensures that both delivery durations and shipping expenses are kept highly affordable for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have signed off on the design, we generally require 2 to 3 weeks to complete your packaging, while simpler boxes can often be produced more quickly. If you have a key date in mind, please let us know it during your initial enquiry so we can immediately determine if we can accommodate it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Ready to see your simple concepts become reality? We often turn a simple logo and a burst of inspiration and turn them into striking, print-ready masterpieces, with a thorough design consultation built right into the process! Or, if you want having a go yourself, why not try our online design tool to start your creation and then hand it over to us whenever you are ready?
