What custom packaging means
We design our bespoke packaging specifically and carefully for your product, giving you the freedom to select the dimensions, make-up, design and coating.
Applying a logo to a ready-made carton constitutes a separate and far more narrow undertaking.
Our interpretation of a completely bespoke box is that we customise the sizes carefully to your products, select the board thickness based on transport requirements, and print your graphics to any chosen surfaces.
From the outset of the design phase, final packaging is meticulously tailored to enclose the product.
Custom Pack Studio collaborates with food manufacturers, beauty companies, online retailers and boutique distilleries nationwide.
The custom packaging we make
Are you ready to make your packaging ideas a reality? We manufacture a fantastic selection of box styles, all custom-made to your exact dimensions and beautifully printed in full colour with your own artwork!
Choosing the most appropriate template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, the sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.
Folding cartons
Retail goods commonly use crash-lock bottom and reverse tuck-end boxes as common packing formats.
Designed with top-and-bottom closure flaps that slide in opposite directions, the reverse tuck-end carton offers an effective packaging solution for lighter products, such as cosmetics and dietary supplements.
Crash-lock boxes have a self-assembling base that locks instantly upon opening to support weightier items, whilst both designs arrive flat for fast manual setup.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations active within the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging secures your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time transforming the unpacking experience into an integral extension of your brand identity.
Featuring bespoke printing on every surfaces, these mailer boxes raise the usual digital retail transaction into a high-end tactile event whilst preserving the structural integrity required to withstand the pressures of transit.
In addition, we manufacture expandable e-commerce cartons created specifically for products requiring more depth or flexible packaging.
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve slides effortlessly over a product or inner tray to instantly introduce eye-catching branding whilst preserving the original packaging, offering an extremely smart and budget-friendly solution for displaying special seasonal lines and limited-run releases.
Enveloping the contents as a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens out to reveal a beautifully flat and stylish showcase that is ideal for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
Branded gift boxes deliver the premium presentation retail customers expect for gift purchases whilst fully eliminating the need to wrap anything.
Premium boxes, magnetic closure boxes and printed inserts are highly strong options, whilst finishes such as foil stamping, embossing and soft-touch lamination raise the presentation into upmarket packaging that well justifies a premium price point.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Thorough creative assistance stays an essential component of our support, regardless of the ongoing progress stage of your artwork.
Got brand guidelines and print-ready files set to go? We can jump right in to prepare your designs for the final manufacturing stage!
To get ready your packaging for print, we reconstruct any logo sent as a JPEG or other image format because physical manufacturing needs a much greater resolution than screen-based platforms need.
From your very first burst of creativity, our dedicated team creates bespoke box structures and flawless print-ready artwork, creating custom measurements when no standard box fits. Your ideas direct our approach. We explain the important technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we develop.
Alternatively, you may utilise our online design programme to customise a packaging solution and integrate your bespoke corporate identity prior to starting contact, or instead schedule a creative appointment should you prefer to discuss your requirements beforehand.

A packaging supplier perfect for Tain businesses
Each and every item is made by our staff at our in-house work place based in Irvine, within the region of Ayrshire.
This ensures local enterprises in Tain gain from swift turnaround times whilst sustaining highly economical distribution rates.
We ship right across Tain and the whole of the UK, making sure that a company based much further away, receives the very same fast delivery time as a client located just twenty minutes down the road from our central factory!
Custom Pack Studio functions as a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer delivering print and packaging solutions in Scotland from 1997.
Crafted by our specialist specialists using their own high-calibre presses, your packaging gains the impeccable print quality and perfect finish associated with an esteemed, long-standing manufacturer.
You are able to check and approve the sample and a digital proof before we press go on the main production run!
Sustainable packaging as standard
We craft each individual item of our boxes to be entirely recyclable, a eco-conscious quality that originates entirely from the original composition of the board itself.
We source all board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified providers to ensure complete tracking from checked origins to sustainably managed forests.
Frequently used for sending and delivery, robust corrugated board delivers effective protection while staying one of the regularly recycled packaging materials in the UK.
Our business is currently phasing out single-use plastic and EPS, which is the expanded polystyrene white foam often used for packaging void fill, across our operational procedures due to the major challenges these materials create for recycling and the associated nature damage they cause when thrown away.
Whenever designs make it possible, we champion sustainable paper or reusable protection, preferring to reduce waste thereby.
Order one box or ten thousand
Typically, bespoke packaging needs a minimum order quantity of either around five hundred or 1,000 items.
When companies pilot an unfamiliar item or produce small-scale festive collections, they bear the pressure of funding inventory and warehousing prior to confirming the market demand.
With no minimum order limits to restrict you, your quantity is entirely your decision, from one solitary box to ten thousand. A quiet debut becomes a safe way to test the market .
Prior to starting manufacture, our specialists provide written costing verification for any order volume, whilst follow-up production runs use the identical design assets to ensure that growing your operations requires no additional packaging development.

Custom packaging Tain FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Tailored packaging is manufactured to the specific measurements and needs of your item. The measurements, gauge, construction, layout, and coating are all tailored to your specific items, ensuring the container fits securely and displays your corporate identity. Just placing a logo onto a pre-made carton constitutes bespoke packaging. By contrast, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the very beginning.
Is there a minimum order?
We do not enforce minimum order thresholds, which means you have the ability to purchase a solitary carton or multiple thousands of any packaging format. This flexibility represents an excellent solution for boutique manufacturers alongside enterprises introducing or testing new merchandise on the market. Our rate structures vary according to the quantity requested, and we always provide a formal quotation for your approval prior to beginning manufacture.
Do you deliver to Tain?
By manufacturing our products in Irvine and distributing them directly to commercial clients throughout Tain, we make sure that making within Scotland effectively minimises both transit times and shipping expenses for local businesses.
What are your lead times?
Upon your final sign-off of the design, the majority of commissions require two weeks to twenty-one days for completion, though more straightforward packaging often moves at a quicker pace. Should you have a strict completion date, please disclose this during your initial consultation so we are able to confirm our capacity to meet your timeline.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We often transform a simple logo and basic concept into finished print files, offering a clear design consultation as part of this journey. You can also take the starting step yourself using our online design tool before passing the work over to us when you are ready.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each carton consists entirely of 100% recyclable cardboard approved by both the FSC and PEFC. We avoid plastic laminates and finishes that stop recycling unless food safety requires their use, and we review all available alternatives with you in advance.
