Why would you go for personalised packaging
A standard box leaves empty space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to keep it still.
Standard packaging with an adhesive label is easy, but it is designed for no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio makes bespoke packaging for your product, making sure that the box, print and finish enhance your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Bassaleg and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of the products we make, so stock and storage expenses continue to be unneeded until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation precisely to the product concerned.
What tailor-made packaging entails
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the beginning, with its dimensions and print customised to what you are packing.
You determine the dimensions, allowing a custom-sized box to cradle the product securely instead of allowing it rattle through the empty space of a generic size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are individually designed too to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, needing less work than a completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for just one unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits perfectly.
Packing methods we create for Bassaleg firms
We provide an wide range of packaging boxes, manufactured to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the most appropriate box style and packaging format is based on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will explain clearly.
Shop boxes and custom packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a familiar retail packaging choice for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a type of lock box, offering a stronger cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and web store packages
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available as well with gussets, creating extra depth so bulkier items can rest securely without moving.
Surprise packages, solid boxes and pitched containers
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give presents with the presentation customers anticipate, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are suitable for food gifts as well as hampers.
For high-end ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, food safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Develop backing for your Bassaleg enterprise
Each order comes with packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts prepare print-ready files and verify that colours remain accurate on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than an image on a website.
You don’t need experience in design to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Together, they develop the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while supporting you through every technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and check its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders stay consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team considers this to be a standard artwork requirement and manages it in the same way we would any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Bassaleg’s industries
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef have Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured on either side of the border.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is made in carefully controlled, traceable conditions that retailers assess before including a product.
Drinks and liquor producers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has established a flourishing drinks scene, covering Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and beauty of the Bassaleg
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts while looking presentable on shelves.
We create cosmetics packaging using soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range feel worthy of its higher price point.
E-commerce and membership categories
Retail and display packaging is significant when a product is placed in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands encounter a different assessment.
Each month, the same customer revisits an almost identical box, making a dependable finish equally important as the initial design.
Precisely sized e commerce packaging keeps products safely in transit, helping to prevent damage, lower claims and minimise returns.
A purpose-made insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, while ensuring the print stays immediately visible as the box opens.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, retaining identical box dimensions helps keep pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Transporting to Bassaleg from our Scotland studio
All items is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Bassaleg included as standard.
After your proof is accepted, most orders arrive at a Bassaleg address within two to three weeks, corresponding to the delivery timeframe for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a long-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team produces the boxes using its own presses.
You check a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before 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 across your entire product range makes the process simple.
It all flows through a single invoice and one point of contact, sparing you the frustration of pursuing multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Sustainable packaging automatically
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
We source our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traced through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are minimising single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both cause disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in its place.
No minimum buy for Bassaleg businesses
Across the wider industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order one sample, a limited run for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price varying at each quantity across this range.
Before production starts, you will always be sent a written quote. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, request a physical sample to assess its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.
