Why opt for personalised packaging?
A regular box leaves empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until somebody 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 easy, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces custom-made packaging expressly for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish uphold your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Bangor and the nearby valleys, with order quantities spanning one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We require no minimum order for anything we make, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is established.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will customise the recommendation to suit the product precisely.
What bespoke packaging signifies
Custom packaging creates the box around your product from the beginning, meaning that its size and printing reflect exactly what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, enabling a made-to-measure box to keep the product firmly without movement resulting from excess space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and the way it travels.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, constituting a less substantial undertaking than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, including a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Wrapping styles we produce for Bangor organisations
We make a full range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the most appropriate box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will explain clearly.
Store cartons and personalised brand packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a retail packaging standard, well suited for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat upon opening, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and electronic commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of solely on the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, allowing bulkier items room to sit securely without moving.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-shaped boxes
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, featuring a handle which folds upwards, are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, that is, solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can enhance further the finish.
Craft guidance for your Bangor company
Every order comes with packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and confirm that colours are reproduced correctly on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
Previous design experience is not necessary to produce packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with no more than a logo, creating the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork with you, while explaining each technical decision clearly as it arises.
Our digital design tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing starts. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping every repeat order stay consistent.
If packaging is needed in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Bangor’s own industries
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have 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.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to stocking products onto their shelves.
Refreshments and distillation
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers farther north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact required for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Makeup and grooming
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while being prominent on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes pair with premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Digital commerce and recurring businesses
Retail and display packaging is important when a product is positioned in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands face a different assessment.
Each month, the same customer returns to an nearly identical box, rendering a reliable finish equally important as the original design.
Effective online retail packaging, produced to match your product packaging precisely, keeps goods protected in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, while keeping the print in view once the box opens.
When a subscription brand places repeat orders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Bangor from our Scottish facility
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Bangor provided as standard.
Most orders reach a Bangor address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, where an experienced team creates boxes on its own presses.
You’ll review a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Using a one box company for packaging across your whole product range simplifies the process.
You receive one invoice and work with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging as usual practice
Each box we make is entirely recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, where every sheet tracked through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill as neither is readily recyclable, while both present disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Not any minimum purchase for Bangor firms
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can order a single sample, a limited trial run, or a complete production batch once they have proved demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout the range.
You will always receive a written quotation prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to the ones provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in volume, request a printed sample and inspect its printing, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Each format can be tailored regarding size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring your packaging fits the brief perfectly. Want to make an impact? Your branded packaging order can include printing both inside and outside.
Could I request examples of your packaging items before submitting an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly the same standard as a production run, enabling you to confirm that the colours match your brief and that the board has the correct feel before authorising a bulk order.

All packaging boxes are completely recyclable. We exclude plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are made available when the format permits.
