What custom packaging means
Our tailored packaging is crafted carefully around your specific item, giving you the option to select the size, structure, printing and overall finish.
In contrast, adding a custom logo onto a standard, ready-made carton is a separate task with fewer customisation options.
Our definition of a fully customisable box means the dimensions are adjusted specifically to your product, the board weight is chosen according to its physical journey, and the print seamlessly envelopes your chosen panels.
To begin with, we meticulously sketch the packaging around the product from the beginning of the design process.
From its design hub in Tillydrone, Custom Pack Studio collaborates with ambitious food producers, boutique cosmetics brands, digital retailers and artisanal spirits makers throughout the UK.
The custom packaging we make
We produce a varied collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, elegantly showcasing your personal design in bold, colourful presentation.
How does your remarkable creation actually get to your clients? The perfect packaging style typically depends on those distinct sales and shipping journeys, and our dedicated squad is eager to help you choose the ultimate match!
Folding cartons
To pack retail products, businesses routinely utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
With a reverse tuck-end carton, the top and bottom flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which creates an ideal packaging choice for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements.
Ready for some packaging magic? Those clever crash-lock boxes feature a smart base that snaps snugly into place the very second you open them! This robust design effortlessly supports your heavier items without any risk of the bottom collapsing. Even better, both styles arrive completely flat and take just a few moments to build!
Postal and mailer boxes
Are you currently selling online? A bespoke mailer box will keep safe your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery into a memorable brand experience!
By making use of double-sided printing, a specialist mailer box raises the standard delivery into a highly professional unboxing event for e-commerce customers, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required to endure the postal journey intact.
We further produce gusseted ecommerce boxes, giving the ideal, roomy embrace for products requiring a greater or more flexible fit.
Sleeves and wallets
A stylish sleeve slides smoothly over a product or inside tray to instantly introduce bold branding whilst maintaining the original packaging, delivering an remarkably smart and cost-effective solution for showcasing special seasonal lines and limited-run releases.
Are you ready? This remarkable wallet-style box wraps 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 acquiring items destined as gifts, utilising a custom presentation box improves the overall look to match consumer expectations whilst entirely eliminating the need for manual wrapping.
Robust rigid boxes, magnetic-closure packaging and bespoke printed inserts prove very effective for this application, whilst elegant embellishments such as hot foil blocking, embossing and tactile soft-touch lamination lift the presentation to premium packaging that successfully justifies a premium price tag.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our offering happily includes full design assistance as a standard feature, regardless of your current artwork stage.
Should you possess defined brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will carefully align with your specifications to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
To get ready your packaging materials for print, we redraw any logo supplied as a JPEG or alternative image format because real-world manufacturing demands a much increased resolution than screen-based platforms demand.
From your initial spark of inspiration, our dedicated team creates bespoke box structures and print-perfect print-ready artwork, developing custom sizes when no standard box fits. Your ideas direct our approach. We explain the essential technicalities, from board weight to print resolution, as we develop.

Custom packaging Tillydrone FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging aligns with your product dimensions and details exactly. Dimensions, board thickness, construction, printing and finishes are adapted to your cargo to guarantee a precise fit and showcase your brand. Adding a logo onto a standard carton merely creates personalised packaging. True bespoke packaging is built around the product itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Absolutely not! You can order a single box or many thousands because we have zero minimums on any of our options. Isn’t that simply perfect for independent makers and anyone launching a brand-new product? Of course, the pricing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive an written written quote before we commence production.
Do you deliver to Tillydrone?
Our production facility in Irvine supplies business clients across Tillydrone. Making our products within Scotland ensures we reduce both lead times and transport expenses for companies in northern areas.
What are your lead times?
Once you sign off on the proof, we jump right in! Most orders take only two to three weeks, and a simple carton can be quicker still. Do you have a tight deadline? Let us know when you enquire and we will confirm if we can meet it.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We frequently transform a basic logo and simple concept into finished print files, including a guided design consultation as part of the service. You can additionally take the first step yourself using our online design tool before handing the work over to us when you are ready.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each item is fully recyclable and crafted from FSC and PEFC certified board.
