What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is precisely engineered to fit a certain item, letting you choose the dimensions, the layout, the designs and the ultimate coating.
By contrast, adding a bespoke logo onto a standard, off-the-shelf carton constitutes a different task with reduced customisation options.
Our interpretation of a totally customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is set according to its actual journey, and the print perfectly wraps around your chosen panels.
Are you prepared to be amazed? From the very first design, we truly form the packaging around the product!
From its innovative hub in Stane, Custom Pack Studio works with passionate food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers all across the UK.
The custom packaging we make
We produce varied box styles to your layout specifications. Every order comes with custom sizing and bright full colour printing of your unique branding.
Determining the most appropriate template for your merchandise rests solely 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 act as the standard packaging options for items on shop shelves.
Created with closures that fit at opposite ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for light merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Designed with a base that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box simply supports bulkier merchandise to avoid any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are provided in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For e-commerce merchants, a bespoke mailing carton protects your merchandise whilst undergoing transit and enhances the unboxing experience into a important element of your marketing.
Double-sided printing changes a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a memorable unboxing journey while maintaining the strength required to withstand the postal system.
We additionally make gusseted ecommerce boxes, providing the perfect, ample fit for items requiring a more generous or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A covering jacket covers the brand item or an inner container to provide prominent merchandising without sacrificing the original box, thereby offering an highly effective and economical refinement for limited-run lines and limited-edition releases.
Crafted to encase the item in the manner of a folder, this wallet style box provides an elegant flat display for store items, photos and stationery.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When products are purchased as presents, a bespoke gift box delivers the refined appearance that buyers expect whilst removing the requirement for any self wrapping.
Sturdy boxes, magnetic-close boxes and custom printed inserts are extremely effective options, while finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination enhance the presentation into upmarket packaging that successfully warrants a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
We incorporate design support into our service, embracing your artwork at every stage of the creation process.
Should you possess established brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will carefully align with your instructions to prepare everything for the manufacturing process.
When a brand mark is sent in a JPEG or other image format, we meticulously replicate it for manufacturing requirements because printed packaging demands a substantially greater degree of image clarity than a digital platform needs.
From your initial burst of ideas, our dedicated team shapes bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, pioneering custom sizes when no standard box fits. Your vision guides us. We outline the key technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we work.

Custom packaging for Stane’s industries

This demanding standard ensures total compliance before retailers authorise any product for their shelves.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create tailor-made printed bottle cartons and display cases for artisanal spirits producers and distilleries, including high-quality details including hot foil stamping , debossing and textured lamination.
By eliminating minimum order requirements, our process allows a distillery to create a small batch for a boutique release without the pressure of ordering bulk quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skin care, haircare and cosmetics brands, we produce premium printed cartons featuring soft-touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty packaging needs to safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst maintaining shelf appeal, a task largely achieved by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We create customised shipping cartons, custom wrapping paper and customised packaging dividers for e-commerce retailers and subscription businesses.
Made-to-fit protection protects the item from transport hazards while lowering the cost of breakage and replacements.
