Custom Milk Carton Boxes
Milk packaging shouldn’t just keep the product fresh — it should also speak for your brand before the first sip is poured. At Healey Packaging, we create custom milk cartons that protect your product, meet food safety standards, and look sharp on the shelf. Whether you’re supplying a local dairy farm, launching a flavoured milk line, or rolling out a seasonal design for Halloween, we’ll help you find the right style, size, and finish to make your cartons stand out in a crowded fridge.

Custom Milk Cartons Designed Around Your Product’s Needs
A regular carton isn’t always up to the job your product demands. We start by looking at the essentials — carton size (200ml, 500ml, 1 litre, or something unique), product type (fresh, UHT, plant-based, flavoured), and how it will be delivered, whether that’s local routes or nationwide shipping. With those details in hand, we create packaging that stores efficiently, protects during transit, and gives customers a better experience from first pour to last drop.
Some of our most requested options include:
- Paper milk cartons wholesale for dairies, beverage brands, and other producers needing bulk supply.
- Individual milk cartons ideal for single-serve drinks in cafés, schools, or vending machines
- Halloween milk cartons with themed seasonal artwork for limited runs
- Custom printed milk cartons featuring bold branding, nutritional info, and promotional space
From Local Dairy Farms to Nationwide Retailers
Over the last 10+ years, we’ve worked with more than 1,000 UK food and drink brands, supplying milk carton packaging that works in both small-batch and large-scale production. Whether you’re selling at the farm shop counter or shipping pallets to supermarkets, our cartons are tested for stacking stability, leak prevention, and customer-friendly pouring.

✅ In-house design, printing, and delivery — your artwork is never shared or outsourced
Packaging That Keeps Milk Fresh and Brands Memorable
Shoppers often choose with their eyes before they read the label. That’s why we put as much care into the exterior as you do into the milk inside. Crisp print quality, vibrant colours, and food-safe finishes make your cartons both attractive and compliant. We also design with milk carton recycling in mind — using recyclable and biodegradable stocks wherever possible, without compromising performance.
Finishes and Features That Sell Your Story
- Full-colour CMYK or Pantone printing for precise brand colours
- Low-migration, food-grade inks that meet EU and UK food packaging regulations
- Gloss or matte lamination for protection against moisture and handling
- Custom shapes or gable-top closures to match your product style
- Die-cut windows for flavoured milk or specialty blends
- Special edition themes like limited-run promotional milk in carton packaging
