How Our Custom Packaging Works

1. Search through our catalogue or custom options and see which is most applicable. Remember that you can order samples of those you think might be of use so you can try them out before buying a large quantity of them.
2. Add your order to your cart. Here you can adjust the quantities and items you need as you go along.
3. Create an account with us. We’ll be able to keep you up to date on how your order is progressing through this area and you can create repeat orders here too.
4. Pay for your orders. We accept payment directly through credit or debit cards, Paypal or, if you need to go through your accounts team, we accept direct deposits and can issue you with a fully costed invoice.
5. Sit back and wait. Once your order has been paid for, we’ll get started straight away with getting it all packed up and shipped out.

Budget

Determining your budget is crucial for selecting the right packaging solution. Consider factors such as production quantity, material choice, design complexity, and any additional features like custom printing or finishing. Balancing your desired packaging with your financial constraints will help you make informed decisions.

Uses and Products

The purpose of your packaging directly impacts its design and materials. Consider how your product will be used, shipped, and displayed. For example, fragile items require protective packaging, while food products may need specific certifications and materials. Understanding your product's unique needs will guide you towards the most suitable packaging options.

Size(s)

Accurate product dimensions are essential for creating packaging that fits perfectly. Measure your product's length, width, and height, allowing for extra space for protective materials or inserts. Consider the packaging's overall size to ensure it meets shipping requirements and aligns with your product's presentation.

Bulk Orders

Purchasing packaging in bulk can often lead to cost savings. Evaluate your product's sales volume and projected demand to determine the optimal order quantity. Balancing inventory costs with potential discounts will help you optimise your investment.

Designs you already use

If you have existing branding or design elements (i.e., letterheads, websites, etc), incorporating them into your custom packaging can strengthen brand recognition. Consider how your packaging can complement your overall visual identity and create a cohesive customer experience.

Colours

Colour psychology plays a significant role in packaging design. Choose colours that resonate with your target audience and reflect your brand's personality. Consider factors like colour combinations, contrast, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.

Other Accessories

Enhance your packaging's appeal and functionality with additional accessories like ribbons, tissue paper, stickers, or custom inserts. These elements can elevate the unboxing experience and provide extra protection for your product.

Materials and Designs

The choice of materials and design directly impacts your packaging's sustainability, cost, and overall look. Consider factors like product weight, durability requirements, and your brand's values when selecting materials. Your product's physical and marketing needs will help you choose the right type of packaging - whether you need simple die-cut postage boxes for online delivery or transparent plastic boxes to showcase its contents. Or, you might find that you need a bag-type packaging such as paper bags or calico bags.

Another thing to consider when putting together packaging box design or custom packaging design is what kind of printing you are going to need. Depending on your needs, designs and budget there are five different types of printing we use when creating your custom packaging. These are:

• Digital printing: A low-cost, full-colour option which can be used on our corrugated cardboard products.
• Flexo printing: This is also perfect for printing on corrugated cardboard. It offers only one colour per design but it's by far the most budget-friendly of our custom printing services.
• Foil stamping: Offers a truly stunning finish on gift bags and gift boxes. It utilises a metal printing technique for your designs. The end-result has a gorgeous, elegant sheen to it.
• Offset printing: By far the most versatile of our techniques. It can be used on any box in any colour you like for any designs you like. While it is not as inexpensive as some of our other options it offers you the option for some truly eye-catching designs.
• Screen printing: A very simple and effective printing technique we often use for gift bags or boxes. If you are looking for effective logo designs without the flair of some of our other techniques this is an option really worth considering.
