What makes pick individually crafted packaging
A standard box creates unfilled space around the product, allowing it to move noisily during transit until foam or paper is inserted to stop movement.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be simple, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates tailored packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand instead of covering it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Abergavenny and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from a single sample to a full pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of what we make, so inventory and storage expenses continue to be unneeded until you have established that a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product.
What bespoke packaging signifies
Custom packaging begins with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit precisely what you are packing.
Select your dimensions and create a made-to-measure box that keeps the product snug, stopping it from rattling about in the unused space of a generic-sized box.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, providing a more modest project than completely customisable design.
With tailored packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for a single unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits perfectly.
Packing options we create for Abergavenny firms
We make a complete range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the suitable style of box and packaging format depends on your products and how they are handled. Our packaging specialists will talk you through the available options.
Store cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging type for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when unfolded, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and digital commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility because it is printed inside and out, not only across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items space to rest securely without shifting.
Keepsake packages, rigid packages and pitched-roof boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and additional branded boxes provide presents with polished presentation customers anticipate, without them needing to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are great for food gifts and hampers!
For premium ranges, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the finished effect.
Design support for your Abergavenny label
Every order provides packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts prepare print-ready files and confirm that colours reproduce accurately on board, as packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need any prior design experience to develop packaging that represents your brand. We can start with only a logo. Working together, you will establish the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain each technical decision as it arises.
Our web-based tool lets you customise a box and view its look and feel on screen before printing. We also provide Pantone colour matching, keeping each repeat order consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team considers this to be a standard artwork requirement and manages it just as we would any other language or colour alteration.
Tailored packaging for the Abergavenny’s industries
Meals and libations
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is produced in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before listing products.
Drinks and distilling
Over the last twenty years, Wales has established a distinctive drinks industry, spanning distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transportation while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact needed for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Cosmetics and personal care products
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, while providing an attractive presentation on retail shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging incorporating soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement a premium range that needs to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring labels
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products are held in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Because the same client opens an nearly identical box monthly, keeping a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, produced precisely to fit your product packaging, holds items secure during transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Distributing Abergavenny straight from our Scottish manufacturing facility
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with delivery across the UK to businesses in Abergavenny included as standard.
After your proof is approved, most orders are delivered to a Abergavenny address within two to three weeks, corresponding to the delivery timeframe for our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a long-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes using its own presses.
You approve a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders retain the original artwork, meaning larger quantities require no new preparation.
Using a sole box company for packaging across your entire product range makes the process straightforward.
It all flows through a single invoice and one point of contact, saving you from the frustration of pursuing several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Green packaging as typical
Each box we make is 100% recyclable as the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
Across our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is readily recyclable, while both present disposal challenges once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Absolutely no minimum buy for Abergavenny businesses
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to fund stock and storage before determining whether a product will sell.
There is no requirement for a minimum order .
Small firms are able to order a single sample, a restricted trial run, or a full production batch once they have proved demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for every order quantity across the range.
You are sent a written quote before production begins, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, obtain a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
