What custom packaging means
Our bespoke packaging is meticulously designed to suit your specific product because you maintain complete creative authority over the dimensions, the structural design, the printing and the finish.
In contrast, adding a bespoke logo to a standard, pre-made carton constitutes a separate task with fewer customisation options.
Our definition of a fully adaptable box involves that we precisely tailor the dimensions to fit your particular product, determine the most suitable board weight based on likely handling, and apply print to whichever panels you want.
From the earliest stages of design, the packaging is thoughtfully designed to complement the product.
Custom Pack Studio works with food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout Waverley.
The custom packaging we make
We manufacture varied box styles to your format specifications. All order features custom sizing and bright full colour printing of your distinctive branding.
Choosing the most suitable template for your merchandise depends wholly upon its inherent nature, your sales channels, and the logistics of final delivery, all of which our specialists will help you with selecting.

Custom packaging for Waverley’s industries
Do do you require incredible packaging for your food and drink, distillery, cosmetics or e-commerce business? We develop brands with impressive packaging and wraps right across Waverley!
Each sector sets its specific specific requirements, covering food-safe compliance to the precise surface finish that premium packaging requires.
Food and drink
Scotland’s vast food and drink market requires strong competition, requiring product packaging to guarantee safety standards while commanding attention on the shelf.
As a company holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we manufacture our food containers within highly regulated and entirely auditable settings which supermarkets review prior to approving any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We produce custom printed bottle cartons and premium gift packaging for boutique distilleries and artisan spirit producers, elevating each creation with luxury embellishments like metallic finishing, tactile embossing and velvet soft-touch lamination.
By removing minimum order requirements, our process enables a distillery to produce a small batch for a boutique release without the pressure of ordering bulk quantities.
Cosmetics and beauty
For skincare, hair care and cosmetics brands, we create bespoke printed cartons featuring soft-touch lamination, foil and embossing.
Beauty containers must protect fragile glassware and pressed powders whilst drawing the eye on retail displays, a task mostly achieved through the chosen surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We manufacture customised shipping cartons, bespoke wrapping paper and bespoke packaging dividers for e-commerce retailers and subscription businesses.
Bespoke packaging tailored precisely to the item guarantees its safe passage through the mail system, which ultimately minimises the costly burden of breakage and product replacements.
Opening a printed carton is simply so much more thrilling for your client than unpacking a boring, standard package!

We supply a virtual layout and a real-world prototype for validation before beginning complete production.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each of the produced cartons is entirely recyclable because the built-in qualities of the board itself give this sustainable quality.
We source all of our paper and board solely from FSC and PEFC certified origins, making sure that each individual sheet is completely traceable through a carefully audited chain of custody directly back to sustainably managed forests.
Commonly used for mailing and shipping, sturdy corrugated board offers dependable protection while being one of the most frequently recycled packaging materials in the UK.
We are carefully removing disposable plastics and EPS, the white foam used as packaging fill, from our operations. This is because these materials are difficult to recycle and negatively affect the environment when discarded.
Whenever the project layout allows, our team suggests utilising paper that can be recycled or environmentally responsible protective materials whilst proactively avoiding extra surplus.
Order one box or ten thousand
Bespoke packaging options typically call for a minimum manufacturing batch of either 500 or 1,000 individual units.
When a firm introduces a new offering or sets out a restricted seasonal range, they must pay for both goods and storage costs long before any sales are certain.
We take purchases of all sizes with no minimum order. You can select your desired quantity, select one box or ten thousand units, and easily assess your market with limited financial risk.
We verify all prices in writing prior to manufacture, whilst later orders utilise the same layouts to help ensure smooth business scaling.

Custom packaging Waverley FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Custom packaging is precisely engineered to match the specific dimensions and particular requirements of your item. Every structural element, including the size, material density, configuration, and visual detailing, is fully tailored for the contents to provide a secure fit while tastefully representing your identity. Whilst just printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton is personalised packaging, a genuinely custom solution is created from the basis of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
Definitely not! You can order just one box or thousands because we have no minimum order requirements on any of our formats. Isn’t that really great for individual makers and anyone introducing a brand-new product? Of course, the costing improves as your quantities grow, and you will receive a formal written quote before we commence production.
Do you deliver to Waverley?
Our production plant in Irvine facilitates direct transportation to organisations throughout Waverley. Manufacturing within Scotland ensures that both delivery times and shipping expenses are kept highly competitive for Scottish businesses.
