Why pick made-to-measure packaging
A typical box leaves empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transport until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be simple, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio makes custom-made packaging for your product, ensuring that the box, print and finish enhance your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Adamsdown and the nearby valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for any item we make, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is determined.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What personalised packaging means
Custom packaging begins with a box specifically designed for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect what it contains.
Choose the dimensions, allowing a custom-sized box to secure the product securely without avoidable movement caused by a standard size.
The construction, board weight, print and finish are tailored to match the packed contents and how it is transported.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, offering a more modest project than completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Packaging styles which we develop for Adamsdown firms
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the most suitable box style and packaging format is based on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging experts will explain clearly.
Shop cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging choice, suited to lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, featuring closure flaps that fold into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and online retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery part of the brand experience and improving visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, allowing bulkier items room to rest securely without shifting.
Surprise boxes, solid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give gifts with the presentation customers expect, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit food gifts as well as hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the outcome.
Craft assistance for your Adamsdown identity
Each order provides packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and verify that colours reproduce correctly on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
Previous design experience is not required to create packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with no more than a logo, developing the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork alongside you, while clarifying each technical decision clearly as it comes up.
Our web-based tool lets you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it is printed, while Pantone colour matching ensures every repeat order stays consistent.
If packaging is needed in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, managing it precisely as it would any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for Adamsdown’s sectors
Nourishment and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured on either side of the border.
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.
Drinks and distillation
Over the last twenty years, Wales has developed a distinctive drinks industry, encompassing distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand 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.
Skincare and skincare products
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect delicate glass and compacts while presenting attractively on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges that must support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and membership tags
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter an entirely different challenge.
Each month, the same customer revisits an almost identical box, rendering a dependable finish just as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, created exactly to fit your product packaging, maintains items secure during transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from moving during transit, while making sure the print is immediately visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important factor as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Shipping to Adamsdown from our Scotland workshop
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Adamsdown.
Once proof approval is confirmed, most orders arrive at a Adamsdown address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of 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 on its own presses.
You check a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production begins, while reorders use the same artwork, meaning that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your whole range of products makes everything straightforward.
You have one invoice and a single contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging as expected
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable as its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, where every sheet tracked via 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 readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties after a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
There is no minimum order for Adamsdown companies
Throughout the sector, custom packaging often necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price adjusting at each quantity across this range.
You always receive a written quotation before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are identical to those provided for ten thousand.
Prior to committing to a greater quantity, get a printed sample and assess the print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
