What custom packaging means
We design custom packaging entirely around your individual product. Your idea directs the process, setting the exact size, build, printwork and final finish.
In contrast, placing a bespoke logo onto a standard, pre-made carton constitutes a distinct task with fewer customization options.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive accurate dimensions matched to your item, material strength tailored to your shipping requirements, and custom print applied to your chosen panels.
We develop the packaging design closely around the product from the very first stage.
Custom Pack Studio works with food producers, cosmetics businesses, e-commerce retailers and boutique distilleries across the country.
The custom packaging we make
We produce an extensive selection of bespoke packaging designs, each made to your precise dimensions and completed with excellent, vibrant custom printing.
Choosing the best presentation for your merchandise relies upon its intrinsic nature, your selling methodology, and the fulfilment process, which our specialists will support you in selecting.
Folding cartons
These common reverse tuck-end and crash-lock bottom structures serve as the main packaging choices for items on shop shelves.
Designed with top and bottom closure flaps that slide in reverse directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers a suitable packaging solution for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Created with a bottom that mechanically interlocks upon opening, the crash-lock box easily supports bulkier merchandise to prevent any structural collapse, whilst both packaging styles are delivered in a collapsed state and can be fully built 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 branding.
By using double-sided printing, a specialist mailer box elevates the usual delivery into a polished unboxing event for internet shoppers, whilst preserving the structural integrity required to withstand the postal journey intact.
We also produce gusseted ecommerce boxes, offering the right, roomy fit for goods requiring a greater or adjustable fit.
Sleeves and wallets
Enclosing a product or internal tray within a slide-on sleeve provides an sophisticated branding opportunity that preserves the original packaging, delivering an highly convenient and cost-effective solution for short-term seasonal lines and exclusive limited-edition releases.
Designed like a folder, this wallet-style box wraps the product to deliver a streamlined, luxury presentation for card items, prints and slimmer retail goods.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Are you trying to enhance your existing game? Sending items in a custom gift box provides that high-end look buyers desire without any of the gift-wrapping fuss!
First, choose rigid boxes, magnetic-close boxes and printed inserts, then add finishes like foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination to produce premium packaging that easily warrants a greater price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Ready to turn your ideas into reality? We offer full design support as part of our offering, however complete your artwork may be!
On receipt of your established corporate guidelines and approved designs, we will carefully align our processes to these specifications and prepare your assets for ultimate manufacture.
Would you be supplying your logo as a JPEG or other image format? We recreate it from scratch for print because packaging artwork demands much higher resolution than a regular website would.
Are you kicking off with just a spark of an inspiration? Our expert crew will map out the complete packaging template alongside your production-ready graphics, even developing a bespoke layout when off-the-shelf containers simply will not do! We warmly lead you through every individual technical decision from material density to final image quality as your new concept comes to life.
Alternatively, you may utilise our virtual design software to tailor a container and incorporate your bespoke branding prior to contacting us, or book a tailored discussion should you would like to discuss your requirements beforehand.
