Why go for bespoke packaging?
A conventional box leaves room around the product, making it rattle in transit until foam or paper is packed in to stop movement.
Standard packaging with a sticker attached is the easiest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Aberystwyth 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 confirmed that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product itself.
What custom packaging signifies
Bespoke packaging is created around your product from the start, with its size and print tailored to the item you are packing.
Select the measurements, enabling a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without avoidable movement caused by a standard size.
Each element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is customised to the contents and the way they are transported.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a more modest project than fully customisable design.
With customised packaging, you are able to alter each panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, producing packaging that fits with no compromise.
Packing solutions we provide for Aberystwyth enterprises
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, manufactured to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork!
Choosing the appropriate style of box and packaging format depends on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will talk you through the available options.
Retail cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging type for less heavy products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shopping boxes
A custom-made mailer box protects your product throughout 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.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, providing extra depth so bulkier items can rest securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with other branded boxes give gift purchases with the presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, supplied with a handle that folds upwards, make an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
In premium ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Develop backing for your Aberystwyth company
Every order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and check that colours stay accurate on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than an image on a website.
You don’t need design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only just a logo. Working together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our web-based tool lets you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it is printed, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order stays consistent.
When your packaging requires English and Welsh text, our staff handles this as a standard artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Personalised packaging for Aberystwyth’s enterprises
Food and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured on either side of the border.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers assess before including a product.
Beverages and distilleries
Over the last two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers throughout the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transportation while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact needed for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Beauty products and self-care products for Aberystwyth
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts whilst presenting well on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging incorporating soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that needs to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and recurring labels
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Since the same customer unpacks an almost identical box each month, maintaining a consistent finish is just as important as the initial design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items safe in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
Subscription brands that reorder each month can keep pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Sending to Aberystwyth from our Scottish workspace
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with UK delivery to businesses in Aberystwyth included by default.
The majority of orders reach a Aberystwyth 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, a well-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team produces the boxes with its own presses.
You review a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production starts, while reorders retain the same artwork, meaning that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Employing a single box company for your full product range makes packaging.
You get one invoice and work via a sole point of contact, rather than pursuing several suppliers, each offering different prices for individual weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging as usual
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable because the board itself enables that recyclability.
We source our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each 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 as neither is easily recyclable, while both present disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
Not any minimum order size for Aberystwyth companies
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently calls for minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Small firms can order a single sample, a limited trial run, or a full production batch once they have proved demand, with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout the range.
Before production starts, you will always receive a written quotation, while the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty remain identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to purchasing in bulk, request a printed sample and inspect its print, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Personalised packaging Aberystwyth FAQ
Did you provide personalised packaging to Aberystwyth?
Certainly. We make each item in Irvine, with standard delivery available across the UK, including every part of Aberystwyth and Wales, without an additional charge for greater distance from the factory.
Which is the least packaging order in Aberystwyth?
There’s no minimum order requirement. You can order a single box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing based on quantity and confirmed in writing before production begins.
Which packaging aspects can I personalise?
Dimensions, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be customised for each format, ensuring the designed packaging fulfils your brief exactly. A branded packaging order can also be printed on both the inside and exterior.
Can I get demonstrations of your packaging items before confirming an order?
Absolutely! Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to verify the colours meet your brief and make sure the board feels right before authorising a bulk order.
Is the wrapping able to be recycled and biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates which prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format allows.
Is it possible to I order again the same style in the future?
Yes, reorders use the original artwork file, so increasing an order or placing it again for a new season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from scratch.
