What custom packaging means
We produce tailored packaging built entirely around your specific product by providing you absolute control over the dimensions, design, print and finishing!
Applying a logo onto a ready-made carton represents a separate and much more narrow project.
By selecting our bespoke packaging, you will get customised casing dimensions tailored to your item, relevant board durability chosen for its planned journey, and personalised printing on your preferred surfaces.
The design of the packaging begins concurrently with the initial stage of the product design process.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food producers, cosmetic labels, internet merchants and small-batch distillers across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an broad selection of packaging styles, which are all tailored to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
Determining the most suitable template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, your sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
These typical reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures serve as the main packaging solutions for items on shop shelves.
With closing flaps at the top and base, the soft reverse tuck end carton attractively cradles more lightweight items like cosmetics and supplements.
First, just unfold the crash-lock box so the solid base locks into place. This dependable design simply supports heavier products, whilst both formats come flat and put together in moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored mailer boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and turn standard shipping into a effective branding tool.
Double-sided printing changes a standard mailer box from a plain transit package into a lasting unboxing journey whilst maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
We also manufacture gusseted e-commerce boxes, which perfectly fit items needing a greater or more adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
These slip on sleeves cover your products or inner tray to provide instant branding whilst maintaining your original packaging, giving an efficient and cost-effective solution for promotional ranges and seasonal stock.
This wallet style box wraps around the item like a file folder to create a sleek and high-end display for your cards, prints and flatter retail merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
To elevate items bought as presents, utilising bespoke gift packaging offers the premium finish your customers looks for while removing the hassle of wrapping.
Can you imagine the impact of rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts? They fit the space precisely, whilst luxury finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination instantly elevate the look to high-end packaging that smoothly achieves a premium price!
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service readily includes full design help as part of the standard service, whatever your current artwork stage.
We prepare files to your precise brand guidelines and print-ready artwork specs.
When a brand mark is sent in a bitmap or other image format, we meticulously reproduce it for manufacturing purposes because tangible packaging demands a considerably greater amount of visual clarity than a online platform demands.
From a rudimentary starting concept, our specialists create your packaging architecture and production-ready graphics, engineering bespoke structural solutions when stock containers fail to suffice. We explain every technical specification throughout the workflow, including material thickness and image definition.
Why not use our brilliant online design tool to create a box and add your branding today, or simply schedule a friendly design consultation if you would prefer to go over it first?

Cosmetics and beauty
We create bespoke printed cartons for the personal care, hair care and skincare industries, enhancing each design with high-quality embellishments including embossing, unique foil applications and subtle soft-touch lamination.

Custom packaging St Marys FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging matches your product sizes and details exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are designed to your cargo to ensure a precise fit and showcase your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton only creates branded packaging. True made-to-order packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Not in the slightest. There are no minimum minimum order limits on any choice, so you can order one box or thousands. This pathway supports independent creators and anyone testing a new item. Pricing estimates vary with order size, and you receive a written quote before making.
Do you deliver to St Marys?
Our production facility in Irvine provides for business clients across St Marys. Creating our products within Scotland ensures we reduce both completion times and transport expenses for northern enterprises.
What are your lead times?
Once you have signed off on the design, we generally require 2 to 3 weeks to produce your packaging, while simpler boxes can often be produced more swiftly. Should you have a important date in mind, please let us know it during your initial enquiry so we can promptly determine if we can make it happen.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We routinely transform a straightforward concept and logo into finalised, ready-to-print files, adding a dedicated design consultation during the process. As an alternative, you can begin the project yourself using our virtual creator before passing it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each item is entirely recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board. We specifically avoid plastic laminates and coatings that would in turn prevent efficient recycling, unless food safety standards strictly necessitate these measures, and our team will carefully discuss these choices with you in advance.
