Why a UK Fabricator Fits Bath
Custom Pack Pack Studio is a part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a company that has been producing print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you raise questions about a finish, a material, or a deadline, you are speaking to an expert who works the press every day. They don’t need to forward the question to an overseas factory and wait for a reply.
UK to UK delivery is quick and dependable in a way an international order rarely is.
Most orders are prepared within two to three weeks after you confirm the proof, and after dispatch, our courier network ships to Bath addresses within 1 to 2 working days.
Measure that against the typical 8 to 12 week baseline lead time for packaging imported from the EU or the Far East, before you even account for a delayed container or a customs delay.
For a key launch date or event deadline, please let us know at the enquiry stage.
We can tell you honestly honestly if the timeline suits your plans, rather than making a fast turnaround that lets you down.
Custom packaging for Bath firms
Our box options encompass the majority of products, and each one is crafted to your measurements and supplied with your brand details.
The configuration that is appropriate depends on how the product is sold and shipped, so the most direct way to get to the correct answer is to let know our packaging experts what you are packing.
Shop and product packaging
A branded carton does the persuading on the shelf when no one from your team is present to talk through the product.
Reverse tuck-end boxes are ideal to lighter retail goods such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, whereas a crash-lock base gives heavier items with a stable floor that will not collapse during transit.
Each print designs across every panel, including the inside, so the branding stays on show regardless of how the box ends up placed on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Mailer Boxes for E-Commerce Sellers
Bath’s e-commerce brands are shipping continuously.
A custom mailer box is frequently the single tangible interaction a customer has with a brand, as there is no shop visit or face to face handover to rely on.
Printed throughout, it guards the product within the courier network while creating the unboxing itself a promotional moment. And a correctly fitted box also cuts down on the damage and returns that a ill-fitting one can cause.
A plain brown outer will send the parcel there, but it tells the customer very little about who sent it or why it seems the way it does.
Make a memorable impact from the time it lands with Custom Pack Studio.
Present and Display Boxes
Custom gift boxes make a difference.
A rigid box with an smooth closure, foil decoration on the lid, or a matte coating alters the product’s feel before it is even opened.
It is precisely the case for jewellery, perfume and boutique food brands, where the packaging constitutes part of what the customer has bought.
Foil stamping is the finish that does the best job on a shelf, catching and reflecting the light in a way flat printing never can, while soft-touch coating works more effectively once the box is actually in the customer’s hands, as it feels premium the moment they pick up it.
Raised print sits between the two, placing a logo you can both view and feel, and it works especially well on jewellery and perfume boxes, where the surface itself becomes part of the display.
Sleeves and wallets
Not every branding project needs a full box rebuild.
A printed sleeve slips over an existing tray or product and includes your branding without the need to redesign the whole pack, making it perfect for a short promotional run or a seasonal variant.
A wallet-style box wraps around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, and printed inserts prevent loose items from moving inside a larger box during transit.
Heavy-duty Containers and Delivery Cartons
A folded carton will never survive a long courier journey or a fragile item by itself.
Corrugated board has been designed for that purpose.
We create corrugated cardboard boxes to bespoke pack sizes and produce them in full colour, so a Bath brand shipping across the country enjoys added protection and branding woven into one format, well beyond a plain double walled box with a sticker simply slapped on top.
Industries We Serve Throughout Bath
Bath’s business mix includes beauty and skincare labels, jewellery manufacturers, food producers, corporate offices and e-commerce companies.
Food and drink businesses face the strictest requirements, as safety in contact with the product is prioritised over all concern of how the packaging is seen.
It is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level really comes into its own, if you are a small batch bakery or a wholesale supplier. This is the standard that supermarket buyers and independent retailers usually want to see before they will list a new product.
Jewellery brands often gain greater value from their packaging investment than most different categories.
A sturdy box with a fitted insert is commonly used to hold an item worth far more than the box itself, and the presentation must reflect that value.
Cosmetics and perfume brands rely on protective fitments and premium finishes for the same basic reason. The product itself is small, so the box does much of the convincing on a shelf.
E-commerce and recurring businesses need packaging solutions that arrives at buyers through the delivery network in one piece.
For many online sellers, the parcel is usually the only tangible interaction a customer has with the brand.
Absolutely no minimum order, all quantity welcomed
Request most packaging suppliers for fifty boxes with your custom design.
You will frequently be asked to return only when you can agree to 500, a substantial requirement for a Bath business trialling a new product or testing a small batch before it scales.
There is no required minimum whatsoever.
Purchase a single sample to assess print quality, fifty boxes for a market stall, or several thousand once a retail listing proves demand. The ordering process and pricing structure remain the same at every quantity.
The unit unit cost decreases as order quantity grows, as is common throughout the industry.
Reorders use the same artwork and setup, so you are not billed a second time for the design process.
We set out pricing and the lead time in writing before production begins, so there is no gap between the quote and what appears on the invoice.
Graphic support provided at any stage you are at
You do not need an internal designer to order custom packaging from us.
If you have a logo and a rough idea of what you want, that is enough to start. Our experts will determine the box structure, prepare the print-ready artwork and provide you with a proof to approve before anything goes to press.
For a product that does not suit an off the shelf format, structural planning is included in the price. It is not charged as an extra charge.
Files submitted as a JPEG or screenshot are rebuilt to comply with proper print specifications.
Most artwork comes without the image resolution or bleed that a box actually needs.
Our team verifies colour accuracy, resolution and bleed against the press profile before anything goes into production, so the printed result reflects what you signed off.
A design appointment is on hand if you would prefer to talk through the options before committing to a specification.
You can additionally use our online design tool if you would like to create the artwork yourself.
Recycled, ethically obtained materials
Every box we make is 100% repurposable and crafted from board carrying FSC and PEFC certification. This indicates it can be traced through an reviewed supply chain back to a well-managed forest.
We are moving on from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range, replacing them with paper based and biodegradable alternatives where the format permits. These alternatives break down as they should at the end of their life in a way plastic and foam do not.
If a believable sustainability claim counts to you and your customers, we can assist walk you through the different ways your bespoke packaging contributes to cutting waste.
Here’s Why Bath Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio to be Packaging Supplier
A single factory, through all stages
Every box we create is shaped, labelled and finalised all on site at our Irvine plant.
The same team supervises quality throughout every stage, rather than the work being passed from one subcontractor to another.
A colour that appears correct on screen does not always print identically, and the person confirming it is the one operating the press.
Defects are identified and put right before a box ever reaches despatch, by the very same team that spotted the issue first.
Board and ink are obtained from the same suppliers every time, so a colour that matched your first proof will also match your fifth reorder two years on.
Empowered by approaching 30 years in the print and packaging industry
Custom Pack Studio launched in 2025, but the facility that supports it has roots much longer ago.
We are part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a leading print and packaging manufacturer that has run presses since 1997.
This history gives us solid relationships with board mills and material suppliers. It also means a team that has already handled most of the issues a new packaging order can create.
It shows in minor particulars, such as knowing which board weight can endure a courier journey.
It also shows why we can deal with a delicate perfume box and a heavy duty shipping carton during the same week, with presses that have processed both for years.
Your exclusive contact throughout the complete order
You will be dealing with the very same person from your initial enquiry right through to the last delivery.
There is no handoff between the sales team and a separate production department.
The team are clear on your specification, your timescale and what you asked for at the checking stage, so you do not need to restate it at every stage.
When a product is on back-order or a finish option needs reassessment, you will hear about it personally from the member of staff managing your job.
It also means you will not once have to re-explain your order from the start to someone new partway through the work.
You can contact that person directly via phone, e-mail or message, without needing to use a general enquiries inbox first.
The same procedure, regardless of that quantity
A one sample and a five thousand unit reorder both go through the same proofing and quality checks before either leaves the factory.
Nothing is done in a hurry because the run is minor, and nothing is given closer inspection because it is big.
A Bath business trialling a new product receives the same treatment as one placing a reorder for a national retail listing. The approach stays the same, regardless of order size.
That consistency counts much more than any cost saving on a bigger run, because a mismatched batch usually can cost more to fix than it was saved in in price per unit.
Whether it is 50 units for a market test or a few thousand for a full retail launch, the proofing sign off follows the very same process every time.
