Custom Made Boxes & Bespoke Boxes UK — Why Manufacture Here?

Most online suppliers of bespoke boxes in the UK are resellers for overseas factories — long lead times, communication through intermediaries, and quality control at the other end of a supply chain you cannot see. Create-This manufactures custom made boxes in the UK. Here's what that means in practice.

Bespoke from the start

Every box is designed around your product. We start with your dimensions, your contents, and your brand — then engineer the right structure. No stock sizes adapted to fit. No unnecessary void. No compromised specification.

Direct communication

You deal directly with the people making your custom packaging. If a dimension needs changing, artwork shifts, or your product turns out slightly larger than expected — it gets sorted quickly. No account managers. No overseas delay.

Samples before production

We produce unprinted structural samples before any print run, so you can physically test fit with your actual product. Branded colour samples are available after pricing confirmation. Nothing goes to print without your sign-off.

Decades of cardboard engineering

Manufacturing bespoke boxes in the UK since 2007. Complex shapes, unusual structures, tight tolerances, interactive elements — if you have an unusual brief, we've done something like it before.

Honest pricing

Real numbers upfront — setup costs, unit costs at different quantities, lead time, and delivery. Minimum order value £850. Digital printing from 50 units, litho from 200 units. No hidden charges.

Custom Packaging — Print, Finish & Materials

Every piece of custom packaging we produce is printed and finished to your specification. Here's what's available as standard across our full range.

Print Methods

  • Digital printing — 50–200 units. No setup costs. Fast turnaround. Sharp, full-colour results.
  • Litho printing — 200+ units. Lower unit cost at scale. Pantone colour matching. Most accurate colour reproduction.
  • Screen printing — corrugated and specialist materials. Cost-effective for 1–2 colour applications.
  • Flexo printing — standard for corrugated custom packaging at volume.

Finishing Options

  • Lamination — matt, gloss, or anti-scuff
  • Soft-touch lamination — velvet feel for premium custom packaging
  • Foil blocking — gold, silver, copper, clear, or custom colours
  • Embossing & debossing — tactile dimension on logos and design elements
  • Spot UV varnish — gloss highlights on a matt surface
  • Scodix — digital enhancement technology applying raised 3D textures (Sense™), metallic foil (Foil™), and high-gloss spot effects (Spot™) directly to print
  • Inside printing — full interior branding on most box styles

Materials

  • Box board 300–700 micron — folding cartons, mailing boxes
  • Greyboard 1000–2000 micron — rigid & drawer boxes
  • Kraft (brown) board — natural finish, eco-friendly brand aesthetics
  • Corrugated board single or double wall
  • Coloured board — range of colours for foil-only finishes
  • FSC or PEFC certified stock available

Custom Designed Boxes — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for custom designed boxes?
Minimum order value £850 for bespoke projects. Quantities typically start from 50 units for digital printing and 200+ units for litho printing. The exact minimum varies by box style and complexity — contact us for a specific quote.
What is the difference between custom designed boxes and custom made boxes?
In practice, the same thing. Every box we produce is both custom designed (the structure is engineered around your product) and custom made (manufactured to order, not pulled from stock). We do not supply pre-made boxes with your logo added — we design and manufacture from scratch.
How long does it take to produce custom packaging?
7 working days minimum for digital print on simpler styles. 2.5–4 weeks for litho printed or complex bespoke boxes. Lead time is confirmed at point of quoting. Rush options may be available — contact us to discuss your deadline.
What is the difference between digital and litho printing for custom printed boxes?
Digital printing suits 50–200 units — no setup costs, fast turnaround, ideal for shorter runs. Litho printing suits 200+ units — lower unit cost at scale, Pantone colour matching, and the sharpest colour reproduction. We advise on the best method for your quantity and colour requirements.
Can I see a sample of my custom made box before the full production run?
Yes. We produce an unprinted structural sample before any print run so you can test fit with your actual product. Branded samples are available after pricing confirmation — sample cost is deducted from your order if you proceed.
Can you match my exact brand colours in custom packaging?
Yes. Pantone colour matching is available for litho printing. Digital printing uses CMYK which accurately covers most brand colours. We will advise on the best print method for your colour requirements at point of quoting.
Do you manufacture bespoke boxes for small quantities?
Yes. Digital printing makes custom designed boxes viable from 50 units. For very low quantities or sample runs, contact us — we will advise on the most cost-effective approach for your specific requirement.
Can you design a custom insert to hold my product?
Yes. We manufacture custom cardboard inserts (fitments) die-cut to your product dimensions. Foam inserts are available for products requiring extra protection. We design the insert from your product samples or supplied dimensions.
Are your custom made boxes recyclable?
Yes. All board materials are recyclable. Standard board stock is FSC or PEFC certified. Inks are vegetable-based or biodegradable. rPET trays contain minimum 70% recycled content and are recyclable from home collections.
Do you offer fulfilment as well as box manufacturing?
Yes. We can insert products, assemble custom packaging, and ship directly to your customers or fulfilment centre. Contact us to discuss fulfilment requirements alongside your box order.
How we produce and how this affects your lead time?
Not all custom boxes are the same. At Create-This we produce a single job at a time, so delivery times are not compromised waiting for multiple clients to supply final artwork. This means your job gets printed on pass of proof. Some companies produce multiple boxes at the same time so you have to wait longer for your boxes.
How much do custom presentation boxes cost?
We know that having an idea of cost is helpful. However, because custom boxes are affected by so many variables — dimensions, quantity, style, and branding — it can be tricky to give a one-size-fits-all price.

To give you a rough starting point:
  • Tuck-in end boxes: approximately £850 for 1,000 units.
  • A5 box board boxes: approximately £1,700 for 500 units.
  • A5 rigid lift-off lid boxes: approximately £2,900 for 500 units.
Higher quantities bring the unit cost down significantly.

Custom Packaging Design & Custom Product Packaging

Every custom product packaging order starts with a structural design brief. We produce a die-cut template to your product dimensions, supply an unprinted sample for fit testing, then move to artwork and print once the structure is approved. Packaging design — the structural engineering — is included as part of the quoting process. Graphic design is available on request.

From gift card presentation boxes to bespoke printed boxes for luxury retail, we approach every packaging design brief the same way: engineer the right structure first, then print and finish to the highest standard.

Custom credit card boxes, membership card packaging, and gift card presentation boxes are all made to order in the UK. Minimum order from 50 units for digitally printed card presentation boxes.

Create-This has been producing custom boxes in the UK since 2006. Our production capabilities cover digital, litho, screen, and flexo printing on box board, greyboard, corrugated, and kraft materials. Custom boxes printed in the UK means faster sample turnaround, easier communication on colour approvals, and no import delays. All standard materials are FSC or PEFC certified.

This means direct communication throughout your order, faster turnaround on changes, and quality control that doesn't rely on an overseas intermediary. Custom printed cardboard boxes are available in digital print (50+ units) and litho print (200+ units), with the full range of finishing options including foil blocking, embossing, soft-touch lamination, and spot UV.

For bespoke boxes UK — whether you need 50 rigid gift boxes or 5,000 corrugated mailing boxes — the process is the same: we design around your product, print to your spec, and deliver to your deadline.
