What custom packaging means
We create custom packaging completely around your specific product. Your concept guides the process, defining the precise dimensions, build, printwork and finish.
Conversely, placing a personalised logo to a standard, ready-made carton is a distinct task with reduced customisation options.
Our interpretation of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are suited specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its physical journey, and the print perfectly covers your chosen panels.
The design of the packaging starts in parallel with the initial stage of the product design process.
Custom Pack Studio works with manufacturers of food, cosmetic labels, e-commerce retailers and artisanal distillers all over the whole nation.
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to make your packaging ideas a reality? We manufacture a great variety of box styles, all custom-made to your precise dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your personal artwork!
The ideal packaging design for your item hinges on its physical nature, selling method, and delivery journey, and our specialists will help with your selection.
Folding cartons
To package retail products, businesses regularly utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Designed with flaps that insert at opposing ends, the reverse tuck-end carton is perfectly suited for lightweight merchandise such as cosmetics and health supplements.
Engineered with a base that automatically and securely secures itself upon expansion, the crash-lock box reliably supports heavier items to prevent any structural failure, whilst both styles are provided flat and can be fully constructed in mere moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you selling online? An bespoke mailer box will safeguard your product within the courier network while changing delivery into a exciting brand experience!
Double-sided printing turns a standard mailer box from a simple transit package into a memorable unboxing journey while maintaining the durability required to withstand the postal system.
Also, we produce gusseted e-commerce boxes for goods requiring greater depth or an adaptable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve moves easily over the product or inner insert to immediately introduce vibrant branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, delivering an incredibly effective and budget-friendly solution for displaying exclusive seasonal lines and limited-edition releases.
Ready to elevate your packaging game? This incredible wallet-style box wraps your items like a sleek folder to deliver an ultra-premium, flat display that is absolutely perfect for prints, cards and slim retail products!
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Personalised gift boxes offer the high-end presentation retail customers expect for gift purchases whilst fully eliminating the need to wrap anything.
Durable rigid packaging, magnetic-closure boxes and customised inserts are well suited to Strathtay. Applying premium finishes such as foil blocking, embossing or soft-touch laminating will enhance this range to support an elevated retail price.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Extensive creative guidance is entirely included into our service, no matter the existing progress point of your artwork.
We prepare files to your specific brand guidelines and production-ready artwork specs.
We prepare supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print production because packaging requires higher resolution than digital platforms require.
Are you beginning with just a trace of an inspiration? Our expert crew will plan out the complete packaging template together with your production-ready graphics, further developing a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply are not suitable! We warmly lead you through every single technical decision from material density to final image quality as your original concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you may employ our virtual design software to personalise a container and add your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or schedule a tailored discussion should you wish to discuss your requirements beforehand.

Sustainable packaging as standard
Did you know that every single box we manufacture is fully recyclable? It really is true because the specific board we use delivers all that eco-friendly benefit!
We procure our paper and board exclusively from FSC and PEFC approved origins, guaranteeing that each sheet stays fully traceable via a checked chain of custody all the way to sustainably governed woodlands.
Trusted to shield mailer and shipping formats, corrugated board delivers robust, dependable protection, standing tall as one of the UK’s most widely recycled packaging materials.
We eliminate single-use plastics and expanded polystyrene from our day-to-day operations due to their difficulty in recycling and adverse environmental impact.
We recommend using recyclable paper or sustainable protection where plans allow, reducing waste through better design choices.
Order one box or ten thousand
Typically, bespoke packaging needs a minimum order quantity of either five hundred or 1,000 items.
When businesses trial an unfamiliar item or launch limited-run festive collections, they face the pressure of funding inventory and warehousing before confirming the market demand.
As we impose absolutely no minimum order requirements, you keep full control over the amount, whether you need one individual box or a production run of ten thousand, which means that an early small batch works as a very safe method for gauging consumer demand.
We provide clear, written quotations for orders of any size before the manufacturing process starts, and since repeat orders utilise the original artwork, you can scale up without redesigning your packaging.

Custom packaging Strathtay FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging matches your product measurements and specifications exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are tailored to your cargo to provide a precise fit and showcase your brand. Stamping a logo onto a standard carton merely creates personalised packaging. True bespoke packaging is engineered around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you need a one container or many thousands, we handle all orders because we set no minimum volume requirements across all of our packaging styles. This adaptable approach is ideally structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses debuting or trialling a new market offering. Our pricing structures generally favour larger volumes, and we regularly provide a comprehensive written quotation prior to manufacturing.
Do you deliver to Strathtay?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility provides for enterprises in Strathtay. Nearby production minimises lead times and shipping expenses for regional brands._
What are your lead times?
After you finalise your acceptance of the design proof, our manufacturing process typically needs a two weeks to three weeks, though straightforward carton designs often move more quickly. Should your project be bound by an firm deadline, please mention this requirement during your first consultation so we may clearly verify our capacity to fit your schedule.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We typically transform a simple concept and logo into finished, print-ready files, including a dedicated design consultation during the process. Alternatively, you can initiate the project yourself using our virtual creator before transferring it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Produced from FSC and PEFC certified board, every box is fully recyclable. We purposefully avoid plastic laminates and coatings that interfere with this recycling process, unless food safety absolutely demands it, and we always talk through your options first.
