Why go for bespoke packaging?
A standard box has room around the product, letting it to move about during transit until somebody packs the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Conventional packaging with an adhesive label is straightforward, but it is designed for no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging tailored to your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Allt-yr-yn 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 requirement for any item we make, allowing you to avoid storage and stock costs until a product’s sales potential is established.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to fit the product precisely.
What tailored packaging involves
Custom packaging begins with a box specifically designed for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect what it contains.
You decide the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to cradle the product securely rather than allowing it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
Every element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is adapted to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, providing a more modest project than completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for one item, allowing you to create packaging that fits exactly and without compromise.
Parcel solutions that we produce for Allt-yr-yn firms
We offer an wide range of packaging boxes, produced to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The best-suited box design and packaging type are based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will talk you through the options!
Store cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging format for lighter products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when unfolded, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Parcel and digital shop parcels
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility as it is printed on the inside and outside, not only across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, providing additional depth to hold larger items firmly in place.
Present boxes, durable boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes give products bought as gifts the refined presentation customers anticipate, while sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food gifts and hampers!
For 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 improve the overall effect.
Develop support for your Allt-yr-yn business
Each order comes with packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and branding guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and verify that colours are reproduced correctly on board, as packaging needs higher resolution than website imagery.
You need not have any previous design experience to develop packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with only a logo. Working together, you will establish the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain each technical decision as it arises.
Our digital design tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping each repeat order remain consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, handled in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Allt-yr-yn’s enterprises
Meals and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging that touches meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is produced on.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that food packaging is manufactured within controlled, traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers conduct before approving products for listing.
Beverages and spirit producers
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a genuine drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers further north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and aesthetics of the Allt-yr-yn
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts while presenting well on shelves.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes pair with premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Digital commerce and subscription businesses
Packaging intended for retail display matters when a product is located in a store or marketplace fulfilment centre, but subscription brands face an completely different challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box every month, which makes a uniform finish as important as the initial design.
Packaging designed to fit your product’s exact dimensions keeps items secure in transit, lowering damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye the moment the box opens.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Allt-yr-yn from our Scottish workshop
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Allt-yr-yn.
Following proof approval, the majority of orders reach a Allt-yr-yn address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer printing and producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team creates the boxes on its own presses!
You approve a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders keep the original artwork, meaning larger quantities require no fresh preparation.
Employing one box company for packaging throughout your whole range of products makes everything straightforward.
You have a single invoice and one contact, avoiding the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging as a rule
Each 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 back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easy to recycle, and both create disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
No minimum purchase for Allt-yr-yn firms
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you must finance stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement .
Small businesses can choose a one sample, a short trial run, or a complete production run after demand is demonstrated, with per-unit pricing scaling across each quantity in between.
You will always receive a written quote before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to making a bigger order, request a printed sample to evaluate the print, colour and how comfortably it fits into your hand.

Custom boxing Allt-yr-yn Frequently Asked Questions
Will you provide personalised packaging to Allt-yr-yn?
Yes. We manufacture every product in Irvine, and then deliver throughout the UK as standard, reaching each corner of Allt-yr-yn and the whole of Wales without applying a separate fee because the destination is further away from our factory.
Which is the lowest package threshold for Allt-yr-yn?
No minimum order is required. You can request one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quote provided before production commences.
Which packing components can I adapt?
Every format allows adjustments to size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can additionally be printed on both the inside and exterior.
May one see examples of your wrapping products before placing an order?
Certainly! Your sample arrives printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to verify the colours meet your brief and make sure the board feels right before authorising a bulk order.
Is the container suitable for recycling and biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are used whenever the format allows.
Is it possible to one make the same Allt-yr-yn design order at a later time?
Yes, reorders are made from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or placing it again for a new season never requires the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
