What custom packaging means
Our custom-made packaging is meticulously designed to house a particular item, letting you choose the dimensions, the configuration, the graphics and the ultimate surface finish.
Applying a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging constitutes a separate task that offers far less creative flexibility.
Our made-to-order packaging ensures you receive precise dimensions matched to your item, packaging strength matched to your shipping requirements, and custom print applied to your chosen panels.
We create the packaging closely around the product from the very first stage.
Custom Pack Studio works with food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Waterside.

Are you ready to bring your packaging dreams to life? We manufacture a fantastic range of box styles, all custom-made to your specific dimensions and expertly printed in full colour with your own artwork!
The ideal packaging design for your item depends on its physical nature, sales approach, and delivery journey, and our specialists will help with your selection.
Folding cartons
For ordinary retail merchandise, reverse tuck-end cartons and crash-lock bottom cases represent the standard packaging formats.
With a reverse tuck end carton, the top and bottom flaps are inserted in opposite directions, which provides an ideal packaging solution for light products such as cosmetics and supplements.
First, initially unfold the crash-lock box so the solid base slots into place. This practical design easily takes heavier products, whilst both formats come flat and build in moments.
Postal and mailer boxes

Custom packaging Waterside FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is produced to the precise sizes and requirements of your item. The size, gauge, construction, layout, and finish are all adapted to your specific items, ensuring the container fits securely and displays your corporate identity. Simply placing a logo onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging. Alternatively, true custom packaging is engineered entirely around your product from the outset.
Is there a minimum order?
Whether you require a sole container or large quantities, we handle all orders because we impose no minimum volume requirements across any of our packaging styles. This flexible approach is ideally structured to support boutique creators as well as businesses entering the market or testing a new market offering. Our pricing structures naturally favour larger volumes, and we regularly provide a detailed written quotation prior to manufacturing.
