What custom packaging means
We design our bespoke packaging specifically for your product, allowing you to choose the dimensions, construction, design and coating.
Putting a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging represents a separate task that provides far less creative flexibility.
Curious what true customisation looks like? We trim every dimension to your product, select the specific board weight for its journey, and add striking print onto any panels you choose!
Are you prepared to be amazed? From the point of the very first design, we truly form the packaging around the product!
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food producers, cosmetic brands, e-commerce retailers and artisanal distillers throughout the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce diverse box styles to your format specifications. All order includes custom sizing and bright full colour printing of your unique branding.
The best packaging design for your item hinges on its physical nature, sales approach, and delivery journey, and our specialists will advise your selection.
Folding cartons
Commercial goods typically utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as typical packaging formats.
Are you prepared to uncover the ultimate packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features smart flaps that fold inwards at both ends, making it the perfect match for holding featherweight essentials such as your chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
Ready for some packaging magic? These brilliant crash-lock boxes feature a smart base that snaps snugly into place the exact second you unfold them! This strong design simply supports your heavier items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles are shipped completely flat and take only a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
For online stores, bespoke mailing boxes protect products during transit whilst turning the delivery process into an extension of your brand image.
Entirely designed on the inside and outside, this durable mailer box replaces plain brown parcels to deliver ecommerce customers an exceptional unboxing event that readily stands up to the post.
Our team further manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons made specifically for consignments that require more depth or flexible packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
To easily add branding without replacing your current packaging, you can simply add a slide-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating a cost-effective solution for holiday ranges and special edition collections.
Are you ready? This remarkable wallet-style box wraps your items in the manner of a sleek folder to produce an exceptionally premium, flat display that is perfectly perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!

Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service gladly includes full design assistance as part of the standard service, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Have you got brand guidelines and print-ready files set to go? We’ll get straight to work to ready your designs for the final manufacturing stage!
Because packaging requires significantly greater resolution than digital display , we must prepare any provided JPEG or other image file format for print use.
Starting from simply a simple concept, our specialists develop the packaging configuration and press-ready graphics on your behalf, while producing 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.

Custom packaging for South Side’s industries
We manufacture bespoke packaging solutions for food creators, spirit distilleries, beauty labels and e-commerce businesses throughout South Side.
Every industry has its own distinct set of criteria, ranging from stringent food safety compliance to the flawless finish required for a luxury carton!
Food and drink
The food and drink industry within Scotland is equally broad and very disputed, demanding that product packaging ensures complete safety upon handling whilst at the same time attracting focus on the retail shelf.
Did you realise we maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level? Food packaging is made under strictly controlled, auditable conditions that retailers check before placing any product!
Whisky and craft spirits
We create tailor-made printed bottle cartons and display cases for artisanal spirits producers and distilleries, featuring premium embellishments including hot foil stamping , recessed embossing and tactile lamination.
By removing minimum order requirements, our approach allows a distillery to make a small batch for a boutique release without the burden of purchasing bulk quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
We manufacture printed cartons for beauty and personal care, haircare and skincare brands, using finishes including embossing, foil and soft touch lamination.

E-commerce and subscription brands
We manufacture bespoke shipping cartons, tailored wrapping paper and bespoke packaging dividers for e-commerce retailers and subscription businesses.
Custom-fit packaging keeps safe the item from transit hazards while lowering the expense of breakage and returns.

You will regularly check a proof, together with a sample when the format needs it, before full manufacturing begins.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each of the made cartons is completely recyclable because the inherent properties of the board itself deliver this eco-friendly quality.
We obtain all board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified providers to guarantee complete transparency from checked origins to responsibly managed forests.
Mailer and dispatch solutions employ corrugated board because this extremely durable material protects products and remains one of the most frequently recycled packaging options in South Side.
Our company is actively eliminating single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often utilised for packaging void fill, across our internal procedures due to the significant challenges these materials create for recycling and the consequent environmental damage they cause when thrown away.
We suggest making use of recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans enable it, cutting down on waste through better design choices.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging usually requires a minimum order of 500 or 1,000 items.
When organisations test a new product or release a brief marketing range, they run the risk of buying inventory and storage space prior to verifying consumer demand.
Because we set absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you retain complete control over the amount, whether you need one individual box or a production run of 10,000, which ensures that an early limited batch serves as a reliable method for gauging consumer demand.
We consistently confirm pricing in writing for every quantity before production gets under way. Because repeat orders make use of the same artwork, scaling up never requires redesigning the packaging.

Custom packaging South Side FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging matches your product dimensions and requirements exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are designed to your cargo to provide a precise fit and promote your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton merely creates branded packaging. True custom packaging is built around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose minimal minimum quantity limits on any format, meaning you are able to acquire a one carton or large quantities. That freedom is well suited for small-scale creators and those undertaking initial product trials. Our rates decrease as your order volume expands, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to South Side?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility serves enterprises in South Side. Scottish production reduces wait times and delivery costs for local brands._
What are your lead times?
As soon as you approve the proof, we move ahead immediately! The majority of orders take only two to three weeks, and a basic carton can be even faster. Do you have a tight deadline? Let us know when you ask and we will confirm if we can meet it.
