Advantages of pick tailor-made packaging
A standard box leaves room around the item, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone packs the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
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 creates custom-made packaging for your product, ensuring that the box, print and finish enhance your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Abertillery and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from a single sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order on anything we produce, meaning you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Tell us about your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What personalised packaging means
Custom packaging shapes the box around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
Choose the measurements, enabling a custom-sized box to hold the product securely without unnecessary movement caused by a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are bespoke to accommodate what is being packed and how it travels!
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, needing less work than a entirely customisable design.
Using customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Parcel solutions that we produce for Abertillery organisations
We produce a full range of packaging boxes, tailored to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the right box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Shop boxes and custom packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a familiar retail packaging option for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a kind of lock box, providing a stronger cardboard design with a base that snaps flat once opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Parcel and digital commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while boosting visibility through printing on the inside as well as the outside, not merely the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes offer extra depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely without moving.
Gift boxes, rigid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and additional branded boxes give purchases made as gifts with the presentation customers expect, without them needing to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may select SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, whereas finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the result.
Develop support for your Abertillery business
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts prepare print-ready files and check that the colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs a higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they create the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while supporting you through each technical decision along the way.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and view its look before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps every repeat order consistent.
Need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our team manages it as a standard artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Abertillery’s sectors
Meals and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that food packaging is manufactured within controlled and traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers carry out prior to approving products for listing.
Refreshments and distilling
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a flourishing drinks scene, covering Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in 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.
Beauty products and personal care
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst looking good on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and recurring payment brands
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Because the same customer opens an nearly identical box each month, maintaining a uniform finish is as important as the original design.
Packaging created to fit your product’s exact dimensions holds items securely during transit, lowering damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product shifting in transit, whilst keeping the print visible as soon as the box opens.
Subscription-based brands that reorder each month can keep pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining one box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Sending to Abertillery from our Scottish workroom
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Abertillery.
Most orders arrive at a Abertillery address within two to three weeks after proof approval, keeping to the same timetable as our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes with its own presses.
You’ll check a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means beginning from scratch!
Choosing one box company for packaging across your entire product range preserves simplicity.
Have a single invoice and one point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for a different week.
Earth-friendly packaging automatically
Every box we make is fully recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper begin with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while every sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We’re reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither is easily recycled, while both cause disposal headaches after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
Zero minimum order quantity for Abertillery businesses
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before ascertaining whether the product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can start with one sample, place a small trial run, or move to full production once demand is confirmed, while unit pricing scales across every quantity in between.
You are sent a written quotation 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.
Before making a larger order, ask for a printed sample to evaluate the print, colour and how comfortably it fits in your hand.
