Where can we source custom-designed packaging boxes for bottle changes, and who should we work with to manage the production process?

For custom-designed boxes (manufactured to your specifications rather than personalised per unit), members have used specialist packaging suppliers with dedicated support. **Anglian Bespoke Packaging (ABC Packaging)** — contact Ben Loombe (ben@abcpack.co.uk) — produces custom 2/3/6 bottle boxes and is recommended by members at Wednesday's Domaine. **Box and Seal** (www.boxandseal.co.uk, speak to Gareth) and **The Packaging Experts** (contact Paul Marsh) are also suggested options. Members note that working with a dedicated production intermediary can save significant hassle: one producer engaged **Creative Production Technician Lisa Stillman** (lisastillman@me.com) to act as the interface between their branding team and the production company, handling technical drawings and samples.
