Why custom packaging?
A standard box starts with stock size. A custom box starts with the product.
Bespoke boxes allow structure, internal space, material and printed branding to be considered together. That can make packaging more appropriate for presentation, handling and delivery.
STANDARD APPROACH
Start with the available box
- Stock dimensions
- Generic presentation
- Fixed structure
- Product adapts to packaging
→
CUSTOM APPROACH
Start with the product
- Custom dimensions
- Brand-led print
- Selected structure
- Packaging adapts to product
Custom packaging process
From your brief to finished packaging boxes
The final production route depends on the material, print method, structure and finishing selected.
Packaging quality control
Check the details that affect the finished box
Quality checks should relate back to the agreed specification and approved artwork rather than being treated as a generic inspection.
Inspection principle
Finished packaging is reviewed against the production specification.

Custom boxes FAQs
Questions to answer before your boxes go into production
Custom packaging becomes easier to specify once the product, structure, material and artwork requirements are clear.
Ask about your project →01 What information do I need for a custom box quote? +
Useful starting information includes the product, dimensions, quantity, preferred box style, material, print requirements, artwork status and delivery destination. You can still enquire if some of those details are not final.
02 What is the difference between custom boxes and stock boxes? +
Stock boxes are manufactured in predetermined dimensions and structures. Custom boxes can be developed around the required dimensions, material, structure and printed branding.
03 Can you produce personalised boxes with printed branding? +
Personalised boxes can be developed with logos, artwork, colours and suitable printing or finishing options according to the selected material and production specification.
04 Which material should I use for custom packaging? +
The material should be selected around product weight, required strength, print quality, presentation, storage and delivery conditions. Kraft, cardboard, corrugated and rigid board each suit different applications.
05 Are corrugated boxes suitable for ecommerce shipping? +
Corrugated packaging is widely used where additional strength and transport protection are required. The flute, board grade and structure should be matched to the product and shipping route.
06 Can I use kraft board for custom printed boxes? +
Yes. Kraft custom boxes can carry printed branding, but the natural brown board changes the way ink colours appear. White ink or adjusted artwork may be considered where the design requires stronger contrast.
07 Can you help if I do not know which box style I need? +
Yes. Start with the product dimensions, weight, selling environment and desired presentation. Those details can be used to narrow suitable packaging structures and materials.
