Explore Our Premium Packaging Options
Mix and match materials, printing methods, inks, finishes, and add-ons to build packaging that feels completely on-brand. Start with the material, then move through print and finishing to see what fits your product best.
Eco
Natural Brown Kraft
Rustic, uncoated look that feels honest and sustainable. Great for bakery, subscription boxes, and earthy lifestyle brands that want a natural tone.
Premium
SBS / Bleach Card
Bright white, smooth surface for sharp printing and rich colors. Perfect for cosmetic cartons, medicine boxes, and premium retail packaging.
Luxury
Black Kraft / Black Card
Deep matte black stock that pairs beautifully with metallic foil. Best for luxury rigid boxes, apparel packaging, and special gift sets.
Flexible
Digital Print
Great for smaller quantities, seasonal packaging, or designs that change often. Fast setup with strong color output and no plate costs.
Classic
Offset Print
Industry standard for high-volume packaging. Ideal when you need consistent Pantone colors and the most economical cost per unit at scale.
Spot effects
Scodix Enhancement
Digital enhancement that adds raised UV, textures, and metallic-style effects to selected areas, creating a premium, touchable finish.
Gloss
UV Print
Cured with UV light for instant drying and strong color density. Works well when you need vibrant prints on coated boards.
Standard
CMYK Process Inks
Ideal for photography, gradients, and detailed artwork. Most packaging projects start here before adding special colors or finishes.
Branding
Pantone Spot Inks
Used when color accuracy is critical. Pantone inks lock in signature brand colors across different print runs and materials.
Bold
Screen Printing
Screen printing lays down a thicker layer of ink, creating vibrant solid colors and strong opacity. Best for bold logos, solid shapes, and designs that must pop even on darker materials.
Eco
Soy / Vegetable Inks
Lower-VOC options that support more sustainable packaging. Often paired with kraft stocks and minimalist designs.
Matte
Matte Lamination
Gives packaging a smooth, elegant feel with reduced shine. A favourite for luxury, cosmetic, and tech products.
Gloss
Gloss Lamination
Adds shine and extra ink protection. Works well for bold colors, retail shelves, and youth-focused brands.
Tactile
Soft-Touch Coating
Creates a velvety, rubberised feel that makes customers want to hold the box longer. Ideal for high-end unboxing experiences.
Highlight
Spot Gloss UV
High-gloss UV applied only to selected areas like logos or patterns, so they catch the light without making the whole box shiny.
Luxury
Foil Stamping
Metallic foil pressed into the board for instant shelf impact. Great for logos, borders, and badges on gift, cosmetic, and rigid boxes.
Raised
Embossing
Embossing lifts selected artwork from the surface, giving logos, patterns, and brand marks a premium 3D raised effect that customers can feel instantly.
Depth
Debossing
Debossing presses artwork into the board, forming an elegant recessed impression. Works beautifully for minimalist luxury packaging and fine-detail branding.
Windows
Die-Cut Windows
Custom window shapes let customers see the product before they buy. Can be left open or backed with clear PET where needed.
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.
Quick proof points:
✅ Used by over 50 UK dairy brands and beverage producers
✅ Designed to meet UK retail-ready packaging (RRP) standards
✅ FSC®-certified materials available for sustainable sourcing
✅ 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
