What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is expertly crafted to match your specific product because you maintain total creative authority over dimensions, the structure, the printed artwork and the finish.
Applying a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging constitutes a separate task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our interpretation of a totally customisable box means the dimensions are suited specifically to your product, the board weight is set according to its physical journey, and the print seamlessly wraps around your chosen panels.
From the beginning of design phase, the final packaging is meticulously tailored to encase the product.
Custom Pack Studio works with food producers, cosmetics businesses, online retailers and boutique distilleries nationwide.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture a wide-ranging selection of box styles, each tailored to custom dimensions and fully finished with your unique branding artwork.
Choosing the most suitable template for your merchandise rests solely upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
Ready to discover to explore the real classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the perfect everyday packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
With closure flaps at the top and base, the subtle reverse tuck-end carton beautifully holds more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
First, initially set up the crash-lock box so the solid base clicks into place. This dependable design readily supports heavier products, whilst both formats come flat and assemble in seconds.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst concurrently transforming the unpacking experience into an essential extension of your brand identity.
Who likes dull brown parcels? Double-sided printed mailer boxes offer e-commerce shoppers an amazing unboxing moment, plus they are sturdy enough to readily survive the post!
We additionally craft gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the ideal, roomy fit for items requiring a more generous or adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A slipover jacket covers the brand item or an inner container to offer clear merchandising without sacrificing the original box, therefore offering an incredibly effective and cost-effective refinement for limited-run lines and exclusive releases.
Styled like a folder, this wallet-style box surrounds the product to provide a sleek, luxury presentation for cards, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a custom gift box provides the beautiful finish that customers look for while fully saving them the task of gift wrapping.
Durable rigid packaging, boxes with magnetic closure and bespoke inserts ideally suit St Andrews. Applying premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch laminating will lift this range to warrant an elevated retail price.

Mailer and shipping packaging formats utilise corrugated board because this extremely durable material protects products and remains one of the most often recycled packaging options in St Andrews.
Our company is proactively phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam commonly utilised for packaging void fill, throughout our internal procedures due to the significant challenges these materials present for recycling and the resulting ecological damage they cause when disposed of.
We recommend utilising recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans enable it, cutting down on waste through better design choices.

Custom packaging St Andrews FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is manufactured to the specific sizes and specifications of your item. The dimensions, material thickness, build, design, and coating are all matched to your specific contents, ensuring the container fits closely and displays your corporate identity. Just placing a badge onto a pre-made carton constitutes customised packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is designed entirely around your product from the very beginning.
Is there a minimum order?
Not at all. There are no minimum order minimums on any selection, so you can order a single box or large quantities. This pathway supports independent creators and anybody trialling a new piece. Estimates scale with quantity, and you receive a written quote before production.
Do you deliver to St Andrews?
Our production facility in Irvine facilitates direct transportation to organisations throughout St Andrews. Production within Scotland ensures that both delivery times and shipping expenses stay highly affordable for Scottish businesses.
What are your lead times?
Once you have approved your initial proof, the majority of commissions require two to three weeks for completion, though simpler cartons are often produced more quickly. Should you have a specific date to meet, please inform us during your first enquiry so we can confirm if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
Operating frequently from merely an identity mark and a rudimentary concept, our specialists refine your first vision into print-ready graphics, a progression that includes a comprehensive creative consultation. Or, you may begin the drafting process independently utilising our digital creation platform, transferring the project to our custodians whenever you feel prepared to do so.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each and every individual pack we make is completely recyclable and made from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We specifically steer clear of the use of plastic laminates or coatings which could prevent the recycling process. The only case to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
