What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously engineered to accommodate your specific product because you maintain complete creative authority over the dimensions, the design, the printing and the end finish.
Applying a standard logo design directly to pre-fabricated packaging represents a distinct task that allows far less creative flexibility.
By choosing our bespoke packaging, you will get customised casing dimensions tailored to your item, suitable board durability selected for its intended journey, and personalised printing on your preferred surfaces.
The development of the packaging begins concurrently with the initial stage of the product design process.
From its innovative hub in St Anns, Custom Pack Studio partners with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the UK.
The custom packaging we make
We craft a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly showcasing your personal design in bold, full-colour presentation.
Picking the most suitable presentation for your item is a task shaped by its unique nature, sales avenue, and ultimate delivery, a path our specialist specialists will help you navigate.
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures serve as the usual packaging solutions for items on shop shelves.
Created with closures that insert at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports bulkier items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are delivered flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For businesses operating in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging protects your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time transforming the unpacking experience into an essential extension of your brand identity.
Featuring bespoke printing on all surfaces, these mailer boxes elevate the usual digital retail transaction into a premium tactile event whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to withstand the demands of transit.
Our specialists further create expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for consignments that require more depth or adjustable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
Looking to find out to strengthen your brand presence without reworking your current boxes? A slide-on sleeve fits neatly around your merchandise or inner tray to instantly enhance your look! It is the ultimate affordable solution for bringing temporary ranges and limited limited-edition collections come alive with excitement.
Created to surround your merchandise like a sleek folder, this wallet-style packaging delivers an refined and sleek display that is well suited for presenting cards, prints and narrow retail items.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a present, a tailored gift box provides the exquisite packaging that buyers look for while completely saving them the burden of wrapping.
Robust rigid packaging, magnetic closure boxes and customised inserts perfectly suit St Anns. Using high-end finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or tactile soft-touch lamination will lift this range to support an increased retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our team offers detailed design support at every stage of your artwork process.
When you provide us with your existing brand guidelines and print-ready artwork, we will closely follow these requirements to prepare your final files for the manufacturing phase.
We recreate supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print use because packaging demands greater resolution than digital platforms require.
From a basic initial concept, our specialists develop your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, developing bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We confirm every technical specification throughout the entire process, including material thickness and image definition.
Alternatively, you may make use of our online design programme to personalise a packaging solution and integrate your bespoke corporate identity prior to starting contact, or otherwise schedule a creative appointment should you want to talk through your requirements earlier.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Each of our produced cartons is fully recyclable because the built-in qualities of the board itself provide this sustainable quality.
By sourcing our paper and board only from FSC and PEFC certified woodlands, we provide a traceable journey where every single sheet can be audited and traced back to its responsible origins.
Employed extensively for postal cartons and postal boxes, corrugated board offers robust protection whilst being one of the most frequently recycled packaging mediums across the UK.
We phase out single-use plastics and expanded polystyrene from our activities due to their recycling challenges and harmful environmental impact.
Why not swap to environmentally friendly, paper-based protection alternatives and completely design out waste wherever your scheme permits?
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging usually requires an order commitment of 500 or 1,000 items.
When companies pilot an unfamiliar item or produce limited-run festive collections, they bear the cost of covering inventory and warehousing before establishing the market demand.
Because we apply absolutely zero minimum order requirements, you maintain complete control over the volume, whether you need one individual box or a production run of 10,000, which means that an early modest batch works as a highly secure method for evaluating consumer demand.
We deliver formal written validation of the costs for each quantity prior to production, whilst subsequent production runs utilise your existing designs to ensure that scaling your enterprise requires no extra creative development.

Custom packaging St Anns FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging fits your product sizes and requirements exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to guarantee a precise fit and promote your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton simply creates bespoke packaging. True bespoke packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We set no minimum order restrictions, which means you can order anything from one carton to many thousands. This adaptability helps independent creators and companies testing new merchandise. Your unit cost falls as your order volume rises, and we always provide a documented price estimation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to St Anns?
Are you ready for very fast deliveries? We make everything in Irvine and deliver directly to organisations based in St Anns! By having our production right here in Scotland, we greatly cut down delivery times and shipping fees for local brands!
What are your lead times?
After you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require 2 to 3 weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often made more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please inform us during your first enquiry so we can verify if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently transform a straightforward logo and initial concept into ready-to-print print files, providing a guided design consultation as part of the process. You can equally take the first step yourself using our online design tool before handing the work over to us when you are prepared.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Every individual pack we make is entirely recyclable and made from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards.
