Advantages of go for personalised packaging
A typical box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone packs the spaces with paper or foam to hold it in place.
Standard packaging with a sticker affixed is the straightforward choice, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging specifically for your product, making sure the box, print and finish uphold your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Acton and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
You can order any quantity of what we make, so stock and storage expenses remain unnecessary until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What bespoke packaging involves
Bespoke packaging is created for your product from the start, with its size and print tailored to what you are packing.
You select the measurements, ensuring a made-to-measure box keeps the product secure rather than allowing it to rattle within surplus space created by a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also custom designed, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, needing less work than a completely customisable design.
Customised packaging places every panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for one piece, allowing you to create a customised solution that fits precisely, with no compromise.
Packing types we manufacture for Acton businesses
We produce a comprehensive range of packaging boxes, each produced to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will take you through the available options.
Commercial cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a common retail packaging option, suited to lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, with closure flaps folding into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Mailer and online shopping boxes
A custom-made mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network and turns delivery into part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside rather than exclusively across the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, allowing bulkier items room to sit securely.
Gift packages, rigid cartons and pitched packages
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with additional branded boxes give gift purchases with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without them needing to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Craft aid for your Acton enterprise
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print-ready files and check that colours remain accurate on board, as packaging needs greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Working together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is available too, helping every repeat order stay consistent.
When your packaging requires English and Welsh text, our staff manages this as a routine artwork request, just as we would manage any other language or colour amendment.
Tailored packaging for Acton’s own industries
Meals and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef each hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy 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 manufacture food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require prior to listing products.
Beverages and spirit-makers
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers throughout 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.
Beauty products and grooming of the Acton
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that safeguard delicate glass packaging and compacts whilst presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and membership companies
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products are held in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, whereas subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Because the same customer unpacks an nearly identical box each month, maintaining a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, created precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A bespoke insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, while ensuring the print stays immediately visible when the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders each month, retaining identical box dimensions helps keep pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly significant consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Distributing Acton direct from our Scottish manufacturing facility
All products are manufactured within our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Acton.
After proof approval, deliveries to a Acton address generally arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where a seasoned team creates boxes using its own presses.
You’ll check a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Using a sole box company for your entire product range makes packaging.
Have a single invoice and a single point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for a different week.
Green packaging as the default
Every box we manufacture is 100% recyclable since its board is able to be recycled.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Zero minimum purchase requirement for Acton enterprises
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to fund stock and storage before establishing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement .
Small businesses may order a single sample, limited runs for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the unit price varying according to the quantity ordered.

Which package aspects can I customise?
Each format allows you complete freedom to adjust the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the resulting packaging meets your brief precisely. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the inside as well as the exterior.
Can you send demonstrations of your packaging products before I decide to place an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to precisely replicate a production run, allowing you to verify that its colours meet your brief and that the board feels suitable before approving a bulk order.
Can the packaging become recyclable as well as does it decompose?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless food safety makes them required, while biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format permits.
Can we order again the same template later?
Indeed, repeat orders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
