Why pick personalised packaging
A regular box creates spare space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transport until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Standard packaging with a sticker affixed is the straightforward option, but it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio designs bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Abertridwr and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order for anything we produce, therefore stock and storage costs remain unnecessary until you are certain a product is going to sell.
Tell us about your packaging needs, and we will tailor the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging covers
Bespoke packaging is designed for your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print adapted to the item you are packing.
You select the measurements, enabling a made-to-measure box to keep the product firmly without movement caused by surplus space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and the way it travels.
Printing a logo on a stock box amounts to personalised packaging, a more limited undertaking than fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single run, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely without any compromise.
Wrapping options we manufacture for Abertridwr organisations
We manufacture a comprehensive range of packaging boxes, each made to custom dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The best-suited box style and packaging type depend on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will talk you through the options!
Retail cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging choice, suitable for lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, featuring closure flaps that fold into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier kind of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, ensuring heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Postal and internet shopping boxes
A bespoke mailer box protects your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside rather than exclusively across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Present boxes, sturdy boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products purchased as presents the polished presentation customers expect, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, featuring a handle which folds upwards, are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Craft aid for your Abertridwr enterprise
Every order comes with packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has advanced.
Got a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts produce print ready files, verifying that colours remain accurate on board because packaging demands higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need previous design experience to develop packaging that represents your brand. Our team can begin with a logo alone, define the structure and produce expertly designed artwork ready for print in collaboration with you, clarifying each technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before printing. We also provide Pantone colour matching, keeping every 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 in the same way we would any other language or colour alteration.
Custom packaging for Abertridwr’s businesses
Food and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy 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.
Refreshments and distillation
Over the last twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while staying striking on the shelf, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and glamour
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts whilst looking good on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges requiring a higher price point to be justified.
E-commerce and recurring businesses
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Because the same customer unpacks an nearly identical box each month, preserving a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
High-grade e-commerce packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items safe in transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product firmly during transit, while the design is straight away visible when the box opens.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders monthly, keeping consistent box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Abertridwr from our Scotland workshop
All items are made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Abertridwr provided as standard.
Following proof approval, the majority of orders arrive at a Abertridwr address within two to three weeks, matching our packaging delivery schedule throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff produces the boxes on its own presses.
You get a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without restarting the process from the beginning.
Employing a one box company for packaging throughout your whole product range simplifies the process.
You get one invoice and work with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Renewable packaging by default
Every box we make is 100% recyclable as its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper begin with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while each sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties after a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
No minimum buy for Abertridwr enterprises
Across the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you must finance stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order one sample, commission a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at every quantity across this range.
You will always receive a written quotation before production begins, 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 purchasing in bulk, request a printed sample and examine its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine, subsequently delivered to your Abertridwr address, usually within two to three weeks.
Bespoke packaging Abertridwr FAQ
Do you provide tailor-made packaging to Abertridwr?
Yes. We produce all items in Irvine and provide standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Abertridwr and Wales, without an extra charge simply because of the distance from our factory.
What is the minimum packaging order at Abertridwr?
There’s no minimum order requirement. You may order a single box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing based on quantity and confirmed in writing before production starts.
Which parts of the packaging can I tailor?
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 inside and outside.
Can we be sent examples of your parcel products before confirming an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to production standards, enabling you to confirm that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging suitable for recycling and can it biodegrade?
All boxes are 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format allows.
May someone use the same artwork at a later time?
Yes, reorders utilise the original artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or placing it again for another season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from scratch.
