About Us

All About Custom Pack Studio
A few words from Custom Pack Managing Director, Joni Tan:

“One thing I delight in hearing after a meeting is ‘well, that was easy.’

That’s not an accident as it’s exactly what we set out to build. I genuinely believe that great packaging shouldn’t be a privilege reserved for businesses with big budgets or big order volumes.

Every product deserves to be presented well, whatever stage you’re at. Whether you want to talk it through with us or just jump straight into our online design tool and do it yourself, we’ve made sure there’s a straightforward route in for every kind of business.

No minimums, no hidden costs, no hoops to jump through. Custom Pack simply offers great packaging, made right here in Scotland.”
