Motives choose bespoke packaging
A typical box leaves space around the product, enabling it to rattle in transit until someone packs the gaps with foam or paper to keep it in place.
Standard packaging with a label applied to its side might be convenient, but it is designed for no particular audience.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging for your product, making sure that the box, print and finish enhance your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Abergele and surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order for anything we produce, meaning you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to fit the product precisely.
What custom packaging indicates
With custom packaging, your box is created around the product from the outset, so its dimensions and print fit precisely what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without movement caused by excess space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, needing less work than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for one item, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely and with no compromise.
Parcel types that we design for Abergele enterprises
We manufacture a wide selection of packaging boxes, each produced to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the most appropriate box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will clearly explain.
Store cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a favourite in retail packaging, well suited for low-weight products like cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that tuck in at both the top and lower end.
Crash lock boxes are a type of lock box, offering a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and online retail boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, while making delivery into an extension of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not solely its outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available as well with gussets, creating additional depth so bulkier items can sit securely without shifting.
Surprise boxes, strong boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are great for food presents as well as 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 final effect.
Craft guidance for your Abergele enterprise
We provide packaging design support with every order, irrespective of your artwork’s current stage.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and check that colours are reproduced correctly on board, as packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project develops.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency whenever you place a repeat order.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for Abergele’s enterprises
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging which comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is made on.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before welcoming products onto their shelves.
Refreshments and spirit-making
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a distinctive drinks industry, encompassing distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must survive transit and look smart on the shelf too! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing deliver much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare products and personal care products for Abergele
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must shield fragile glass and compacts while presenting attractively on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes pair with premium ranges intended to support a higher price point.
Online commerce and membership labels
Packaging designed for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, however, subscription brands experience a particular challenge.
Because the same customer opens an nearly identical box every month, maintaining a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
Packaging created to match your product’s exact dimensions holds items securely in transit, lowering damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product secure during transit, while the print remains in view as soon as the box is opened.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders each month, keeping consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more significant consideration as volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Supplying to Abergele from our Scotland workshop
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Abergele included as standard.
Most orders arrive at a Abergele address within two to three weeks after proof approval, keeping to the same schedule as our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an well-established packaging manufacturer that has produced print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team making boxes on its own presses.
You get a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without restarting the process again.
Using a single box company for packaging across your full product range simplifies the process.
You get one invoice and liaise with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Eco-friendly packaging by default
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
We obtain our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is easily recyclable, while both pose disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
Zero minimum order for Abergele businesses
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever.
Small businesses can begin with one sample, place a limited trial run, or move to full production once demand is proven, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
You are sent a written quote before production starts, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in volume, ask for a printed sample to assess the print, colour and fit in your hand.

Design and print proofing. We design packaging that suits your product, prepare the print layout, and provide a proof for your approval.

Production and delivery: Your order is printed and completed in Irvine, then delivered to your Abergele address, usually within two to three weeks.
Custom boxing Abergele FAQ
Do you provide custom packaging to Abergele?
Yes. We produce all items in Irvine and offer standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Abergele and Wales, without an additional charge simply because of the distance from our factory.
What is the smallest order required for packaging at Abergele?
No minimum order. We can manufacture one box or thousands in whatever format, with quantity-based pricing confirmed in a written quotation before manufacture begins.
What packing elements can I personalise?
Size, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be altered for every format, making sure the packaging meets your brief precisely. Branded packaging can also feature printing on both the interior and exterior.
Would you supply demonstrations of your packaging products before I place an order?
Of course! Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check the colours meet your brief and make sure the board feels right before authorising a bulk order.
Is the packaging become recyclable as well as does it biodegrade?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety demands them, while biodegradable protective materials are used whenever the format allows.
Could I order again the same design in the future?
Yes, reorders are made from the same artwork file, so expanding an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
