What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging entirely around your individual product. Your vision shapes the design, defining the required size, build, printing and surface finish.
Applying a logo to a ready-made box continues to be a distinct and far more restricted process.
Curious what true customisation looks like? We trim every dimension to your product, select the specific board weight for its journey, and apply stunning print onto any panels you choose!
The design of the packaging begins concurrently with the initial stage of the product design procedure.
Custom Pack Studio supports food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Strathmartine.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture varied box styles to your format specifications. Each order includes custom sizing and bold full colour printing of your individual branding.
Picking the most suitable presentation for your item is a process determined by its unique nature, sales avenue, and end delivery, a path our dedicated specialists will support you through.
Folding cartons
Are you ready to explore the real classics of the retail world? Reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes are the ultimate everyday packaging formats that every shop shelf needs!
Designed with upper and lower closure flaps that slide in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Designed with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box successfully supports bulkier items to prevent possible structural failure, whilst both styles are supplied flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For digital stores, custom mailing boxes keep safe products during transit whilst transforming the delivery process into an extension of your brand identity.
With bespoke printing on every surfaces, these mailer boxes raise the standard digital retail transaction into a premium tactile event whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to endure the pressures of transit.
Our specialists further manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons made specifically for consignments requiring more depth or adaptable packaging dimensions.
Sleeves and wallets
To simply add branding without updating your current packaging, you can just fit a slide-on sleeve around the product or its inner tray, creating an economical solution for seasonal ranges and special edition collections.
Is your packaging ready for a lift? This impressive wallet-style box packages your items like a sleek folder to produce an ultra-premium, flat display that is perfectly perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When a product is purchased as a gift, a custom gift box provides the exquisite presentation that recipients look for while fully saving them the task of wrapping.
Durable rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and customised inserts ideally suit Strathmartine. Adding luxury finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch laminating will lift this range to support an increased retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our service happily includes full design help as part of the standard service, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Should you have existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready artwork, we will carefully tailor our procedures to the guidelines to get ready your files for final production.
Sites are very flexible, yet printed packaging requires absolute accuracy. Therefore, any logo supplied as a JPEG or different image file must be thoroughly rebuilt before printing.
From your very first burst of inspiration, our specialist team creates bespoke box structures and polished print-ready artwork, creating custom dimensions when no standard box fits. We are guided by your vision. We outline the key technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we create.
Alternatively, you may employ our virtual design software to tailor a container and incorporate your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or arrange a tailored consultation should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.
Custom packaging for Strathmartine’s industries
Across Strathmartine, we create bespoke packaging for food-and-drink producers, distilleries, cosmetics brands and online sellers.
Every field sets its own standards, from safe use in food contact to the fine surface finish a quality carton requires.
Food and drink
To excel in the extensive and very competitive Scottish food and drink industry, your packaging must ensure product safety whilst at the same time attracting consumers on the retail shelf.
As a business holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we produce our food containers within meticulously regulated and entirely auditable facilities which supermarkets inspect prior to endorsing any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce bespoke printed bottle cartons and presentation boxes for small-batch spirits producers and whisky distilleries, with premium finishes like metallic foiling, custom embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination.
Launching a short-run release? With this great zero minimum order policy, every distillery can currently readily print small batches without being made to buy huge quantities!
Cosmetics and beauty
We manufacture bespoke printed cartons for the personal care, hair and skincare industries, enhancing each design with high-quality embellishments including embossing, eye-catching foil applications and elegant soft-touch lamination.
Packaging for beauty products should shield delicate glass and compacts whilst maintaining shelf appeal, a task mostly accomplished by the chosen finish.
E-commerce and subscription brands
Looking to impress your buyers? We produce branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and fitted inserts for digital retailers and subscription brands!

We provide a digital layout and a physical prototype for validation before commencing full production.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we create is entirely recyclable owing to the natural characteristics of the cardboard material.
We obtain all of our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC certified origins, ensuring that each individual sheet is fully traceable through a rigorously audited chain of custody directly back to sustainably managed forests.
As a very durable and defensive solution for mailing and shipping, corrugated board represents one of the most widely recycled packaging materials used across the United Kingdom.
We are actively eliminating single-use plastic and EPS from our processes because these problematic materials do not support recycling and eventually damage our fragile environment.
When the project layout allows, our team recommends choosing recyclable paper stock or environmentally responsible protective materials whilst proactively avoiding unnecessary surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Did you know that bespoke packaging typically demands a minimum order of 500 or even one thousand units?
When enterprises pilot an unfamiliar item or produce limited festive collections, they bear the cost of financing inventory and warehousing prior to confirming the market demand.
Ready to launch to get started? We maintain absolutely no minimum orders, meaning you can order everything from one box to a massive run of ten thousand! This makes a tiny initial order the ultimate low-risk approach to trial your market.
We consistently confirm the pricing in writing for any quantity before production starts. Since repeat orders make use of the same artwork, expanding the order not ever requires redesigning the packaging.

Custom packaging Strathmartine FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging matches your product dimensions and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to guarantee a precise fit and support your brand. Adding a logo onto a standard carton merely creates personalised packaging. True custom packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We set minimal minimum quantity limits on any format, meaning you are welcome to purchase a one carton or thousands. That freedom is well suited for small-scale creators and those embarking on initial product trials. Our rates decrease as your order volume expands, with every project receiving a formal quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Strathmartine?
Are you all set for very fast deliveries? We craft everything in Irvine and deliver directly to companies based in Strathmartine! By keeping our production right here in Scotland, we drastically cut down delivery times and shipping fees for regional brands!
What are your lead times?
After you have greenlighted the design, we typically require 2 to 3 weeks to produce your packaging, though more straightforward boxes can often be produced more swiftly. Should you have a critical date in mind, please share it during your initial enquiry so we can promptly determine if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We regularly utilise only a simple concept and a brand symbol to create highly polished final designs, a process that typically incorporates a expert creative consultation. As another option, you may begin the initial layout working with our digital creation platform and subsequently pass the project to us for completion.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each single carton we produce is completely recyclable and produced from certified board that meets both FSC and PEFC standards. We specifically steer clear of the use of plastic laminates or coatings which may prevent the recycling process. The only exclusion to this rule is when food safety regulations require extra protection, and we will always guide you through your available choices beforehand.
