Purposes opt for bespoke packaging
A standard box provides space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with a sticker affixed is the simple option, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio produces tailored packaging particularly for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Baglan and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from a single sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, enabling you to set stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Tell us your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to suit the product perfectly.
What bespoke packaging consists of
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the start, so its size and printing reflect exactly what you are putting inside.
By selecting the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box secures the product securely, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Each element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is customised for the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you can modify each panel, fold and finish, even with a single run, producing packaging that fits with no compromise.
Parcel solutions which we design for Baglan companies
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes in bespoke sizes, printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will guide you through the available options.
Retail cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a retail packaging standard, ideal for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shopping parcels
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility because it is printed on the inside and outside, not solely across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, allowing bulkier items room to rest securely.
Keepsake boxes, hard boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products bought as presents the polished presentation customers expect, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the result.
Craft aid for your Baglan label
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print ready files and check that colours are reproduced accurately on board, because packaging needs higher resolution than a web image.
You do not need previous design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Starting with nothing more than a logo, our team develops the structure and produces professionally designed, print-ready artwork with you, explaining every technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains every repeat order consistent.
If you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team considers it a routine artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Baglan’s own industries
Food and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging in contact with 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 food packaging is produced within controlled and traceable processes, satisfying the checks retailers conduct prior to approving products for listing.
Drinks and distilleries
During the last twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles must withstand transit while remaining striking on the shelf, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing adding much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Toiletries and personal care products for Baglan
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect delicate glass and compacts while presenting attractively on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging incorporating soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that needs to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and subscriber-based brands
Packaging intended for retail display matters when a product sits in a store or marketplace fulfilment centre, but subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Because the same client opens an nearly identical box each month, maintaining a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and lowers claims for damage and returns.
A bespoke insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print remains visible straight away as the box opens.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more significant factor as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Supplying to Baglan from our Scotland studio
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Baglan.
Once your proof is accepted, most orders are delivered to a Baglan address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timeframe for 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 makes the boxes using its own presses.
You review a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts, while reorders retain the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Working with one box company for packaging throughout your whole product line makes everything simple.
Everything flows through a single invoice and a single point of contact, sparing you the frustration of pursuing several suppliers quoting different prices for separate weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging as commonplace
Every box we make is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, where each sheet tracked via an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are minimising single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither is readily recyclable, and both create difficulties with disposal once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are employed instead of them.
Without a minimum buy for Baglan companies
Across the industry, custom packaging commonly requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before finding out if your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all!
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or proceed with full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity across this range.
You are sent 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 committing to a greater quantity, obtain a printed sample and evaluate the print, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Could you send examples of your packaging products before I place an order?
Yes. Your sample arrives printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before authorising a larger order.
