What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is produced thoughtfully around your specific item, allowing you to choose the size, construction, print finish and overall finish.
Tailoring a pre-made carton with a printed brand mark creates a contrasting and far more restricted undertaking.
Our understanding of a fully customisable box entails that we carefully tailor the dimensions to fit your particular product, determine the ideal board weight based on expected handling, and print print to whichever panels you need.
Firstly, we thoroughly map out the packaging around the product from the outset of the design process.
Custom Pack Studio works with manufacturers of food, beauty labels, e-commerce retailers and craft distillers all over the country.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture a diverse selection of box styles, each adapted to custom dimensions and entirely printed with your distinctive branding artwork.
How does your impressive creation actually reach your clients? The right packaging style always depends on those unique sales and shipping journeys, and our enthusiastic squad is eager to help you choose the best match!
Folding cartons
Shop products commonly utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packing formats.
Are you prepared to uncover the perfect packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features clever flaps that fold inside at both ends, making it the best match for holding featherweight essentials such as your preferred cosmetics and daily supplements!
Engineered with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box effectively supports heavier items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you currently trading online? A bespoke mailer box will safeguard your product throughout the courier network while transforming delivery into a memorable brand experience!
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a simple transit package into a impressive unboxing journey whilst maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
We also manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes, which easily accommodate items needing a deeper or more adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
To easily add branding without changing your current packaging, you can simply add a slip-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an economical solution for holiday ranges and exclusive collections.
Made to envelop your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an refined and level display that is well suited for showcasing cards, prints and slim retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To elevate items acquired as gift items, employing bespoke gift packaging delivers the premium finish your clients looks for while eliminating the stress of wrapping.
Robust rigid packaging, magnetic closure boxes and tailored inserts are well suited to Shotts. Applying premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or tactile soft-touch lamination will enhance this range to support an increased retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to bring your ideas to life? We offer full design support as part of our package, no matter how finished your artwork is!
We produce files to your precise brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
As packaging calls for significantly greater resolution than digital display , we have to rebuild any provided JPEG or alternative image file format for print use.
Are you kicking off with just a trace of an concept? Our skilled crew will map out the full packaging template with your production-ready graphics, also developing a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We enthusiastically guide you through every individual technical decision from material density to final image quality as your new concept comes to life.
As another option, you can utilise our online creator to personalise a carton and add your own logo before reaching out, or arrange a creative meeting if you would rather discussing your ideas beforehand.

Our High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification ensures we produce food packaging under carefully audited, traceable conditions demanded by retailers for product listings.

Cosmetics and beauty
We produce printed cartons for beauty and personal care, hair care and skin care brands, utilising finishes including embossing, foil and soft-touch lamination.

We create bespoke custom branded mailer boxes, custom printed tissue and made-to-measure inserts tailored particularly for digital retailers and subscription organisations.

A packaging supplier perfect for Shotts businesses
Each and every product is produced by our team at our purpose-built production facility located in Irvine, set within Ayrshire.
This helps local businesses in Shotts profit from substantially reduced dispatch durations and lowered transit expenses.
Our delivery network covers Shotts alongside the entirety of the United Kingdom, ensuring that more distant enterprises enjoy the equivalent fast lead times experienced by those located just 20 minutes from our production facility.
Operating as a specialised division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, Custom Pack Studio draws upon a long-standing heritage of creating bespoke print and packaging throughout Scotland since 1997.
Your packaging is produced by that specific collective operating their own machinery, ensuring the resulting print and refinement match with the stringent criteria of a long-standing producer.
We offer a computerised layout and a physical prototype for validation before starting entire production.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each of our manufactured cartons is entirely recyclable because the natural properties of the board itself provide this sustainable quality.
We obtain all of our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, guaranteeing that each individual sheet is fully traceable through a thoroughly audited chain of custody directly back to well-managed forests.
Relied on to safeguard mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board delivers durable, reliable protection, standing tall as one of the UK’s most widely recycled packaging materials.
We are actively and steadily removing single-use plastic and EPS from our activities because these problematic materials resist recycling and eventually threaten our delicate environment.
Whenever the project layout makes it possible, our team recommends choosing paper that can be recycled or sustainable packaging materials whilst deliberately preventing extra surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging usually requires a minimum order of 500 or 1,000 items.
Are you testing an innovative latest creation or printing a limited holiday line? That can mean funding stock and storage upfront before you even know it sells!
We accept requests of all sizes with no minimum order. You can select your ideal quantity, select a single carton or ten thousand units, and comfortably assess your market with limited financial risk.
We always verify costs in writing for each quantity before production starts. Because repeat orders make use of the same artwork, expanding the order never requires reworking the packaging.
