What custom packaging means
We create our bespoke packaging specifically and carefully for your product, letting you pick the dimensions, construction, design and coating.
Applying a standard logo design directly onto pre-fabricated packaging is a different task that provides far less creative flexibility.
By opting for our bespoke packaging, you will receive customised casing dimensions matched to your item, relevant board durability chosen for its practical journey, and personalised printing across your preferred surfaces.
From the very first moment of design, the packaging is thoughtfully designed to showcase the product.
Custom Pack Studio supports food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, internet retailers and artisan distillers throughout West Calder.
The custom packaging we make
We create a diverse collection of box formats to your bespoke sizes, stylishly printing your personal design in rich, full-colour presentation.
Choosing the optimal presentation for your merchandise relies upon its natural nature, your sales approach, and the distribution process, each of which our specialists will assist you in selecting.
Folding cartons
To package retail products, businesses regularly utilise the standard formats of reverse tuck-end boxes and crash-lock bottom boxes.
Are you ready to find out about the ideal packaging champion? A reverse tuck-end carton features smart flaps that fold inwards at both ends, making it the best match for housing featherweight essentials such as your chosen cosmetics and daily supplements!
First, initially open the crash-lock box so the solid base slots into place. This reliable design readily takes heavier products, whilst both formats come flat and put together in moments.
Postal and mailer boxes
For organisations working in the digital marketplace, bespoke postal packaging protects your merchandise during transit whilst at the same time elevating the unpacking experience into an important extension of your brand identity.
By using double-sided printing, a specialised mailer box lifts the standard delivery into a very professional unboxing event for e-commerce customers, whilst retaining the structural integrity required to withstand the postal journey intact.
Are you after extra depth or a bit more flexibility? We further create high-quality gusseted e-commerce boxes designed for those exact needs!
Sleeves and wallets
A sleek sleeve moves effortlessly over a product or inner insert to instantly introduce eye-catching branding whilst preserving the original packaging, providing an remarkably effective and affordable solution for displaying premium seasonal lines and limited-edition releases.
Surrounding the contents as a sleek portfolio, this wallet-style packaging opens to display a neatly flat and polished showcase that is perfect for presenting brochures, photographs and slender merchandise.
Gift boxes and presentation packaging
When purchasing items intended as tokens, using a tailored presentation box elevates the general appearance to meet consumer needs whilst fully doing away with the need for manual wrapping.
This tailored presentation is smoothly achieved through carefully structured presentation boxes, sleek magnetic closures, and individually tailored inserts, whilst refined embellishments such as metallic foil block detailing, embossed embossing, and smooth soft touch coatings successfully elevate the final creation into luxury packaging that holds a more prestigious market value.
Packaging design support if you do not have a designer
Our support happily includes full design assistance as a standard feature, no matter your current artwork stage.
Should you possess existing brand guidelines alongside print-ready creative files, we will carefully align with your specifications to organise everything for the manufacturing process.
We prepare supplied JPEG or alternative image logos for print use because packaging demands greater resolution than digital platforms require.
Starting with only a rough concept, we create your box structure and print ready artwork. Our specialists engineer bespoke packaging when standard templates do not suit. To guide you, we explain every technical detail, including board weight and print resolution.
Alternatively, you may use our online design programme to tailor a packaging solution and incorporate your bespoke corporate identity prior to initiating contact, or alternatively book a creative appointment should you want to talk through your requirements earlier.
Custom packaging for West Calder’s industries
We manufacture bespoke packaging solutions for food creators, spirit distilleries, beauty labels and e-commerce businesses throughout West Calder.
Every field imposes specific requirements, starting with food-contact compliance to the specified final finish for high-grade packaging cartons.
Food and drink
Ready yourself for the vibrant energy of the Scottish food and drink industry? In this highly competitive market, your packaging must seem truly striking on the shelf whilst staying completely suitable for consumer contact!
As a organisation holding the prestigious BRC Global Packaging accreditation at High Hygiene level, we manufacture our food containers within meticulously regulated and completely auditable facilities which supermarkets examine prior to endorsing any merchandise.
Whisky and craft spirits
We create bespoke printed bottle cartons and exquisite gift packaging for independent distilleries and artisan spirit producers, elevating each creation with refined embellishments like metallic finishing, tactile embossing and velvet soft-touch lamination.
By doing away with minimum order restrictions, we allow a distillery to craft a small-batch run for an special release without the pressure of being tied to higher volumes.
Cosmetics and beauty
We produce printed cartons for beauty and personal care, hair care and skincare brands, using finishes including raised embossing, foil and soft touch lamination.
Containers for beauty products must preserve sensitive glassware and pressed powders whilst commanding interest on retail displays, a task mainly achieved through the specified surface texture.
E-commerce and subscription brands
We manufacture bespoke tailor-made branded mailer boxes, printed tissue and custom-fit inserts tailored particularly for digital retailers and subscription organisations.
Custom-fit wrap protects the item from transport hazards while cutting the expense of breakage and replacements.
Custom packaging additionally offers the consumer a far more immersive experience than simply unwrapping a ordinary, bare carton.
A packaging supplier perfect for West Calder businesses
Each and every item is crafted by our craftsmen at our in-house work place based in Irvine, within the region of Ayrshire.
Local enterprises throughout West Calder can count on this approach to make sure turnaround times remain fast whilst transport expenses are maintained at low.
We deliver right across West Calder and the entire UK, making sure that a company located well beyond, receives the same speedy delivery time as a client based only twenty minutes down the road from our main factory!
Working as a specialised division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, Custom Pack Studio gains from the experience of an established Scottish print and packaging manufacturer founded in 1997.
Created by our dedicated specialists using their own premium presses, your packaging acquires the impeccable print quality and flawless finish associated with an esteemed, well-established manufacturer.
To maintain total correctness, you will obtain either a physical sample if required by the format and a online proof before we start the main production run.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each unit we manufacture remains entirely suitable for recycling, and this eco-friendly quality comes directly from the make-up of the board itself.
We procure all board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified vendors to provide complete tracking from verified origins to carefully managed forests.
Employed extensively for shipping cartons and mailing boxes, corrugated board offers reliable protection whilst staying one of the most often recycled packaging mediums across the United Kingdom.
We are systematically eliminating single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene from our operations because these materials create severe recycling challenges and generate significant environmental damage once discarded.
Whenever designs make it possible, we favour sustainable paper or reusable protection, opting to design out waste in its place.
Order one box or ten thousand
Custom packaging typically requires an initial manufacturing run of at least 500 or 1,000 individual boxes.
Are you trialling an new latest creation or running off a limited holiday range? That can mean paying for stock and warehousing in advance before you even see it sells!
We set zero minimum order constraints, enabling you to select any quantity from one box to 10 thousand. The initial low-volume production batch provides a reliable means to test customer demand.
We regularly set out the pricing in writing for any quantity before production starts. As repeat orders utilise the same artwork, expanding the order not ever requires changing the packaging.
How to order custom packaging
Submit your specifications by calling 01294 314 919 or via the online form. Provide the product, quantity, and sales method. We’ll advise on the ideal format if you need help.
We carefully design the packaging structure around your particular item, prepare the artwork layout, and then supply a final proof as well as a physical prototype if the design needs it.
The moment you sign off on the proof, your story takes shape. Our Irvine factory will print and finish your order, typically within two to three weeks.
Directly to the doorstep, this flat-packed parcel arrives ready for simple self-assembly, with delivery available to almost any location throughout West Calder or the wider United Kingdom.
Custom packaging West Calder FAQ
What counts as custom packaging?
Bespoke packaging is precisely crafted to align with the exact measurements and particular requirements of your item. Every structural element, including the dimensions, material density, layout, and aesthetic detailing, is specifically tailored for the contents to provide a secure fit while neatly representing your identity. Whilst just printing a company symbol onto a pre-made carton constitutes personalised packaging, a genuinely custom solution is developed from the core of the merchandise itself.
Is there a minimum order?
We apply no minimum minimum order conditions, meaning you can buy anything from one box to thousands. This versatility benefits solo creators and organisations trying out new merchandise. Your unit cost falls as your order volume rises, and we always offer a documented price estimation before manufacturing.
Do you deliver to West Calder?
Our Irvine manufacturing facility provides for enterprises in West Calder. Nearby production reduces delays and transport expenses for area brands._
What are your lead times?
Production starts upon your proof sign-off with standard delivery requiring two to three weeks, though simple cartons often arrive sooner. Specify your deadline during the initial query for immediate confirmation of availability.
Can you help if I do not have a designer?
We typically transform a straightforward concept and logo into finished, print-ready files, incorporating a dedicated design consultation throughout the process. Alternatively, you can initiate the project yourself using our virtual creator before handing it to us.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Each box consists entirely of fully recyclable board approved by both the FSC and PEFC. We reject plastic laminates and finishes that hinder recycling unless food safety requires their use, and we review all available options with you in advance.
