Custom Packs

Customers may have a variety of products which do not lend themselves to totally clear packaging. Consequently we also provide a fully bespoke service. This can comprise Carton board, Box board, Polypropylene sheet and/or other plastic manufacturing processes such as thermoforming or vacuum forming.

These Custom Packs are for high volumes only. If you're looking for smaller quantities please consider folded PVC Boxes and Lids or Cartons

Trays with lids or sleeves

Trays can be made in folding Carton board or Box board. These can be supplied flat, part glued or fully erected. They can have plinths in card or plastic form, or may just have a card insert as required for best aesthetic presentation of your goods.

Internal fitting slip lids (with rounded corners on leading edges to assist insertion), external lids with glued or self-assembly corners, or sleeves can be made to fit these packs.
Dependant upon quantity, this style of pack can be printed with your artwork or be supplied in plain colours, or even left white.

Rigid trays

These can be supplied plain or covered with printed or embossed paper to your requirements. Inserts and lids or sleeves as above.

Window boxes and cartons

A more complicated, but very effective pack is achieved by using window packs. Window boxes combine the benefits of stacking capability and transit protection with the visibility that goes with clear PVC packs. Window boxes allow you to see the contents without taking off the lid or prejudicing the integrity of your product sealing.

We manufacture and fit both single panel windows and multiple side drop windows (shown below). These can be fitted into all types of boxes or regular cartons with suitable apertures for both flat packs and glued packs.

Window boxes.


Window packs allow you to have the structural integrity of a stiff carton-board or box-board pack, but with a good visibility panel to let the customers see what they're buying. They permit a degree of stiffness not achievable with regular thin film acetate windows.

These windows are designed to fit your packs on an individual basis and can be profiled to match apertures. They can have location features included to allow you to use automated pick and place gluing equipment or remain as regular profiles to allow manual fitment to your pack.
