What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is expertly engineered to accommodate your specific product because you maintain complete creative authority over dimensions, the structure, the print work and the final finish.
Putting a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging is a distinct task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our fully bespoke packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions appropriate for your item, packaging strength suited to your shipping requirements, and custom print printed on your chosen panels.
Are you prepared to be amazed? From the point of the very first design, we literally form the packaging around the product!
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food manufacturers, cosmetic organisations, online retailers and small-batch distilleries across the nation as a whole.
The custom packaging we make
We create diverse box styles to your design specifications. Every order includes bespoke sizing and bright full colour printing of your individual branding.
Determining the optimal presentation for your merchandise relies upon its intrinsic nature, your selling approach, and the fulfilment process, which our specialists will support you in selecting.
Folding cartons
Retail items commonly use crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as standard packing formats.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the upper and lower flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging option for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Crash lock boxes feature a self-assembling base that secures instantly upon opening to support bulkier items, whilst both designs ship flat for rapid manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging protects your merchandise during transit whilst simultaneously turning the unpacking experience into an important extension of your brand identity.
By making use of double-sided printing, a customised mailer box lifts the normal delivery into a very professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
Moreover, we make expandable e-commerce cartons specifically designed for products requiring more depth or versatile packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip on sleeves enclose your products or inner tray to deliver instant branding whilst maintaining your original packaging, providing an practical and economical solution for promotional products and temporary stock.
Designed like a folder, this wallet-style box encloses the product to provide a flat, premium presentation for card items, prints and thinner retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a bespoke gift box offers the beautiful presentation that recipients look for while fully removing them the burden of gift wrapping.
Sturdy rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and tailored inserts perfectly suit Shettleston. Applying premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch laminating will elevate this range to justify an increased retail price.

What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is manufactured to the specific sizes and specifications of your item. The size, gauge, construction, design, and surface treatment are all matched to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits closely and showcases your corporate identity.

Is there a minimum order?
Not at all. There are zero minimum quantities on any option, so you can request one box or thousands. This approach supports solo creators and those trialling a new product. Quotes vary with volume, and you receive a written quote before making.
