What custom packaging means
We shape custom packaging fully around your singular product. Your concept shapes the process, determining the exact dimensions, structure, printwork and finish.
Attaching a logo to a pre-made box continues to be a distinct and far more limited process.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive exact dimensions suited to your item, material strength matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print printed on your chosen panels.
We develop the packaging carefully around the product from the outset.
Custom Pack Studio partners with food manufacturers, cosmetic brands, e-commerce retailers and small-batch distillers all over the country.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture an broad range of packaging styles, which are all made to suit to your custom dimensions and entirely printed with your artwork.
How does your impressive creation actually find its way to your customers? The ideal packaging style always depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our dedicated squad is on hand to help you select the perfect match!
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the standard packaging set-ups.
With a reverse tuck end carton, the top and bottom flaps insert in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging solution for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Designed with a base that mechanically interlocks upon expansion, the crash-lock box simply supports heavier merchandise to stop any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are supplied in a collapsed state and can be fully built in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For companies active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging safeguards your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time turning the unpacking experience into an essential extension of your brand identity.
Double-sided printing transforms a standard mailer box from a ordinary transit package into a memorable unboxing journey while maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
Our specialists further produce expandable e-commerce cartons designed specifically for consignments requiring more depth or flexible packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
A elegant sleeve slides easily over an item or inner tray to instantly introduce eye-catching branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, delivering an remarkably smart and budget-friendly solution for displaying special seasonal lines and special-edition releases.
Designed like a folder, this presentation-style box encloses the product to deliver a sleek, premium presentation for card items, prints and lighter retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When goods are acquired as presents, a bespoke gift box delivers the elegant packaging that customers look for whilst removing the necessity for any wrapping it yourself.
Sturdy boxes, magnetic-close boxes and decorated inserts are extremely strong options, whilst finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination raise the presentation into premium packaging that well supports a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough design support is entirely built in into our service, no matter the existing development phase of your artwork.
Should you already have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will closely align with your requirements to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
Could you sending your logo as a JPEG or other image format? We recreate it from scratch for print because packaging requires much higher resolution than a typical website does.
Starting with just a initial outline, our specialist specialists will conceptualise both the structural template and the finalised graphics for your project, whilst adapting a bespoke packaging design when conventional containers prove unsuitable. We consistently guide you through each technical decision, thoroughly clarifying our selection of structural materials and graphic clarity along the journey.
Alternatively, you can utilise our digital creation space to customise a carton and visualise your logo prior to contacting the team, or just arrange an aesthetic session if you would prefer to discuss your ideas beforehand.

Our craft revolves around designing bespoke postage cartons, custom wrapping tissue and tailored packaging structures for e-commerce merchants and subscription enterprises.
Tailored protection keeps safe the item from transport hazards while cutting the cost of breakage and restitutions.

Sustainable packaging as standard
We create each one of our boxes to be fully recyclable, a eco-conscious quality that originates entirely from the natural composition of the board itself.
By procuring our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified origins, we ensure each sheet is kept fully traceable through an checked pathway to sustainably managed forests.
Are you set to discover the ultimate packaging powerhouse? Remarkably sturdy and safe, corrugated board emerges as a top champion for UK recycling in both mailing and shipping setups!
We are actively and steadily removing single-use plastic and EPS from our activities because these problematic materials do not support recycling and eventually endanger our fragile environment.
Why not swap to green, paper-based protection options and entirely eliminate waste wherever your layout permits?

Custom packaging Strathaven FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging matches your product dimensions and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to ensure a precise fit and support your brand. Applying a logo onto a standard carton merely creates bespoke packaging. True custom packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We impose absolutely no minimum order limits on any format, meaning you are welcome to purchase a one carton or large quantities. That freedom is well suited for small-scale creators and those embarking on initial product trials. Our rates fall as your order volume grows, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Strathaven?
Our production facility in Irvine supplies commercial clients across Strathaven. Making our products within Scotland ensures we reduce both lead times and transport expenses for businesses in the north.
What are your lead times?
Once you have authorised your initial proof, the majority of commissions require a couple of weeks for finishing, though simpler cartons are often completed more quickly. If you do have a specific date to meet, please tell us during your first enquiry so we can check if this timescale is achievable.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly employ only a straightforward concept and a brand symbol to produce refined finished designs, a process that inherently features a professional creative consultation. Or, you may start the opening layout utilising our digital creation platform and subsequently pass the project to us for completion.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each item is entirely recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board. We carefully avoid plastic laminates and coatings that would in turn prevent efficient recycling, unless food safety standards strictly necessitate these measures, and our team will fully discuss these choices with you ahead of time.
