Why Custom Packaging Matters—Beyond Brand Awareness

When it comes to custom packaging, there are plenty of great reasons to explore your options—and it’s not just about brand awareness (although that’s a big one!). At Procurapack, we often work with clients who have a variety of needs, including:

  • Products with unique or irregular shapes that require extra protection
  • A desire to highlight their sustainability efforts
  • The need to clearly mark fragile items for couriers and recipients
  • Packaging that must remain flat or not be stacked during transit

Custom packaging allows you to solve practical challenges while also reinforcing your brand and values.

All of our custom packaging is proudly sourced from UK-based manufacturers. This not only supports local businesses and strengthens our economy, but also results in smoother communication, faster lead times, reduced shipping costs, and fewer issues related to customs or delays.

At Procurapack, we’re committed to helping you find the perfect packaging solution—tailored to your product, your values, and your goals.

We understand that every product is different, which is why we offer a wide range of custom solutions. Please see Below at the many options available:

Customize your Packaging to Suit You:

Corrugated outer packaging

This area can be a bit of a minefield with different styles, board grades and print types. In regards to styles, each one is related to a different number, called aFEFCO Code. These codes determine how the box is to be assembled. Different codes will be applicable to different industries and what particular product you are shipping. Procurapack can create near enough every FEFCO code through a vast supply chain, meaning any product requirement shouldn’t be off limits!

Solid board

Quote often used and seen on your supermarket shelves, solid board products are a lovely aesthetic to show your product. Think of your favourite craft beer or tea.

It’s also used for gift packaging with windows to show the product on the inside. You’ll have seen these around Christmas time, where you get a nice bottle and glass or your favourite sauces.

Like with corrugated products, you will have a GSM and type of paper used which can be advised based on the product.

Paper mailing bags

Show off your sustainability values with paper mailing bags. You can get these either open top to tape shut, a self seal strip or, if you’re feeling really economical, one of the best ways to reduce waste in this particular aspect, is to have a returnable self seal.

That doesn’t mean you are expecting returns, but does mean that the bag has the potential for other use down the line.

Plastic mailing bags

Procurapack has partnered with a manufacturer to provide fully recyclable plastic mailing bags.

Delivery is free to mainland UK addresses. Stock sizes are available to be over printed for smaller MOQ’s.

Tissue Paper

Used either for aesthetic, protection or both, tissue paper can provide functionality and an opening experience. We have provided custom tissue paper to apparel, golf and gifting brands. Standard sizing is 750x500mm. Different GSM’s are available, and of course, you will have the chance to sample the base product prior to order.
