Compelling reasons select custom packaging
A standard box leaves space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be easy, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging particularly for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Abersychan and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
You can order any quantity of the products we make, so stock and storage expenses continue to be unneeded until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Tell us about your packaging requirements, and we will customise the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging means
Custom packaging shapes the box around your product from the beginning, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, ensuring a custom-sized box keeps the product secure rather than letting it rattle within excess space created by a generic size.
Every element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Adding a logo to a stock box creates personalised packaging, providing a more modest project than completely customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you are able to alter every panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, producing packaging that fits without compromise.
Packaging formats we make for Abersychan organisations
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, manufactured to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork!
Choosing the most suitable box style and packaging format is based on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging experts will clearly explain.
Retail containers and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging choice, suitable for lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, with closure flaps that fold into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and e-commerce containers
A custom-made mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and turns delivery into part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than exclusively across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are offered with gussets, providing extra depth to keep larger items securely in place.
Present boxes, strong boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products purchased as presents the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes featuring collapsible carry handles are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, safe for food contact paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can enhance further the finish.
Build support for your Abersychan business
Every order includes support with packaging design, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and check that the colours remain accurate on board, because packaging requires a higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need experience in design to develop packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they develop the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision along the way.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing starts. Pantone colour matching is available too, helping every repeat order remain consistent.
Need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our staff handles it as a routine artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for Abersychan’s own industries
Cuisine and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef each hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging that contacts meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that we produce food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require before listing products.
Drinks and distillation establishments
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a genuine drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers farther north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and aesthetics of the Abersychan
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that protect delicate glass packaging and compacts while presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes pair with premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and membership tags
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Every month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, rendering a consistent finish every bit as important as the initial design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, precisely tailored to your product packaging, secures items in transit while reducing damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely in transit, while the design is immediately visible when the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that reorders each month, retaining identical box dimensions helps keep pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Abersychan from our Scotland manufacturing site
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Abersychan provided as standard.
After proof approval, most orders reach a Abersychan address within two to three weeks, matching our packaging delivery schedule throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where a seasoned team creates boxes on its own presses.
You get a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders retain the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Employing a sole box company for packaging throughout your entire product range makes the process straightforward.
You have a single invoice and a single dedicated point of contact, instead of pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for a different week.
Sustainable packaging as the norm
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable because the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while each sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easy to recycle, and both cause disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
Zero minimum purchase for Abersychan companies.
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to finance stock and storage prior to determining whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can start with one sample, place a small trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is proven, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
Before production starts, you will always receive a written quote. The high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before making a bigger order, ask for a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it sits into your hand.

Personalised boxing Abersychan Frequently Asked Questions
Can you offer personalised packaging to Abersychan?
Yes. We manufacture all items in Irvine and offer standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Abersychan and Wales, without an extra charge simply because of the distance from our factory.
Which is the smallest parcel order in Abersychan?
There is no minimum order requirement applies. You can ask for one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quotation provided before production starts.
What elements of the packaging can be personalised?
Dimensions, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be tailored for every format, making sure the designed packaging fulfils your brief exactly. A branded packaging order can also be printed on both the interior and outside.
Can you send demonstrations of your packaging solutions products before I place an order?
Yes. Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before authorising a larger order.
Is the packaging able to be recycled and compostable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not employ plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format allows.
May I get again the same design later?
Indeed, reorders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
