What custom packaging means
We craft tailored packaging designed fully around your individual product by offering you absolute control over the dimensions, style, printing and finish!
Tailoring a preassembled carton with a stamped brand mark poses a different and considerably more restricted undertaking.
Our interpretation of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is selected according to its actual journey, and the print seamlessly envelopes your chosen panels.
From the initial spark of design, the packaging is carefully designed to showcase the product.
Custom Pack Studio works with food manufacturers, beauty labels, online merchants and artisanal distillers throughout the entire nation.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a wide-ranging collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly showcasing your personal design in vibrant, colourful printing.
Choosing the most suitable presentation for your merchandise relies upon its inherent nature, your sales strategy, and the distribution process, all of which our specialists will support you in selecting.
Folding cartons
Retail products usually utilise crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packaging formats.
The reverse tuck-end carton features top and bottom closure flaps folding in opposite directions, making it ideal for lightweight merchandise such as toiletries and dietary supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box reliably supports heavier items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in just a few moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Tailored mailing boxes protect your e-commerce products during transit and convert standard shipping into a powerful branding tool.
By making use of double-sided printing, a customised mailer box lifts the usual delivery into a highly professional unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst preserving the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
Are you looking for more depth or some extra flexibility? We further produce high-quality gusseted e-commerce boxes tailored for those requirements!
Sleeves and wallets
Placing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve creates an elegant branding opportunity that keeps the original packaging, delivering an remarkably convenient and affordable solution for seasonal seasonal lines and select limited-edition releases.
Are you ready? This remarkable wallet-style box encloses your items in the manner of a sleek folder to create an ultra-premium, flat display that is completely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a present, a custom gift box delivers the exquisite finish that customers anticipate while entirely sparing them the chore of wrapping.
First, select rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then apply finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that readily warrants a greater price point.

Custom packaging for Stepps’s industries
We manufacture bespoke packaging for culinary creators, small distilleries, cosmetic brands and online retailers throughout Stepps.
Every industry sets out specific standards, from compliance for food contact to the precise surface finish for top-grade cartons.
Food and drink
The culinary industry within Scotland is both wide-ranging and highly contested, demanding that product packaging provides absolute safety upon handling whilst at the same time commanding focus on the retail shelf.
As a organisation holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we manufacture our food containers within highly regulated and completely auditable facilities which supermarkets review prior to endorsing any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
Our experts manufacture bespoke printed bottle cartons and display packaging for craft spirit producers and whisky distilleries, utilising luxury finishes including spot foil, debossing and tactile lamination.

Cosmetics and beauty
We produce bespoke printed cartons for the beauty, haircare and dermatology industries, elevating each design with premium embellishments including raised detailing, eye-catching foil applications and subtle soft-touch lamination.
Beauty containers must protect sensitive glassware and pressed powders whilst attracting attention on retail displays, a task mainly achieved through the specified surface texture.

Mailer and shipping solutions use corrugated board because this very durable material protects products and remains one of the most frequently recycled packaging options in Stepps.
Our organisation is actively phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often used for packaging void fill, throughout our day-to-day procedures due to the major challenges these materials pose for recycling and the associated ecological damage they cause when disposed of.
When the specific scheme allows, we recommend utilising recyclable or paper-based, eco-friendly safeguarding materials whilst proactively cutting surplus from our planning process.of_thought_
