BESPOKE





Tiny Box Maker specialises in creating bespoke boxes tailored to you and your brand, with an experienced team to help navigate you through the process. We deliver beautifully handmade boxes, whether you’re looking for year-round repeat products or one off dynamic promotional, gift, or presentation items. 

All of our boxes are made in the UK which means our lead times are usually around 3-4 weeks for our bespoke products, offering a wide range of fully sustainable options with the ability to run small and large volume quantities. We can also design card or foam inserts to hold products in place, and can combine print, embossing/ debossing to reflect brand logos and specific product messages. All of our box types can be foil printed in-house with digital and litho printing also available, depending on your requirements. We can also make printed sleeves and belly bands to add further branding to your packaging.

Tiny Box Maker offers different styles and types of boxes, from candle packaging boxes, voucher and stationary boxes, jewellery boxes, art and photography packaging, to name a few. Our Cornwall factory operates a comprehensive production plan and stringent quality control procedures, to ensure you get your presentation boxes or corporate gift boxes as you want them, on time. 

 

The process

Six machines are set up to make bespoke boxes, which are required regardless of the quantity being made. The initial set-up cost will therefore be the same whether you are ordering 1 or 1,000 boxes, so please remember to factor this into your packaging budget. Our semi-bespoke boxes will always be lower priced than bespoke custom boxes because we already hold the templates for these styles. For handmade bespoke boxes, the tooling needs to be custom made to your specifications. These are one off costs on initial orders. Where we can, we will suggest using existing cutting forme sizes to offer the best prices.

We aim to respond to all quote requests within 24 hours of receiving them and we’re more than happy to chat through style options, paper choices, and foiling suggestions on the phone, offering guidance about box types, inserts, and branding. From comprehensive discussions about your brief, products, budget, and deadlines, we can work with you to achieve your perfect box - we love nothing more than helping you, our customer, create the perfect packaging for your business.

All our measurements are internal, and if you require us to replicate a stock box you’ve seen we can only match colour approximately. Our most popular box styles include the classic box and lid, flap lid box with magnetic closure, slipcase, slip case and tray style, and shoulder boxes - take a look at our gallery and our socials for some bespoke packaging inspiration.

FAQs

Is there a minimum order quantity?
We have no minimum order quantity, however due to our set-up costs we recommend a minimum quantity of 50 units to give you better pricing. Our capacity allows for anything from 0 to 5,000 units for one off shipments within our 2/4 week schedule, and 5,000 to 10,000 units over a 8 week period depending on complexity.
Do you make flat-packed boxes?
We do not make these internally, however we have a local supplier who can meet most flat-pack requirements. Please email us for a quote.
What units of measurement do you work with?
Internal box dimensions: millimetres (mm). Board thickness: microns. To correctly measure your box follow: Length = longest side left to right. Width = shortest side back to front. Depth = floor to ceiling.
What information do you need to quote for an insert?
Please provide us with the product dimensions and tell us how you would like the product displayed inside the box.

Do you accept urgent orders?

Do you use eco-friendly materials?

Our boxes are fully recyclable, unless a laminated print has been applied in which case this would need to be removed prior to recycling. The glue we use is water-based and vegan, and we're excited to be offering eco-friendly foam inserts too.
