Why prefer bespoke packaging
A standard box leaves empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transport until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Standard packaging with a sticker is simple, but it is intended for nobody 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 manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Beddau and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
We have no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the equation until you know whether a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product itself.
What custom packaging entails
Custom packaging begins with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect its contents.
You select the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to keep the product securely without movement caused by surplus 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 how it travels.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, needing less work than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be adjusted, even for just one unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Wrapping types we create for Beddau companies
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, produced to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork!
Choosing the appropriate box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Shop cartons and personalised logo packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and digital shop parcels
A custom-made mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than solely across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, allowing bulkier items space to rest securely without shifting.
Present containers, solid packages and pitched-roof packages
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give presents a polished presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles are ideal for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, safe for food contact paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can enhance further the finish.
Design guidance for your Beddau enterprise
Each order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and verify that the colours stay accurate on board, because packaging needs a greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need any previous design experience to create packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with just a logo. Together, you will establish the structure and produce professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain every technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool lets you customise a box and view its look and feel on your screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping every repeat order uniform.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a routine artwork requirement and manages it in the same way we would any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for the Beddau’s industries
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas all food packaging that is in 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, which means our food packaging is produced in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Beverages and distilleries
During the past two decades, Wales has established a genuine drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers further north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to survive transit and appear smart on the shelf as well! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and beauty
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, whilst creating an appealing presentation on retail shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and recurring categories
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Every month, the same customer returns to an almost identical box, rendering a reliable finish equally important as the original design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, precisely tailored to your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit while reducing damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from moving during transport, while ensuring the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Delivering to Beddau from our Scottish workspace
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Beddau.
After your proof is approved, the majority of orders are delivered to a Beddau address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timescale for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, which means an established team makes the boxes with its own presses.
You sign off on a proof and, where needed by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders keep the original artwork, ensuring larger quantities require no new preparation.
Using a sole box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
You receive one invoice and work via a single point of contact, instead of pursuing several suppliers, each offering different prices for separate weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging as a rule
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable since the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked via an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both create disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are used instead of them.
There is no minimum purchase requirement for Beddau firms
Across a large part of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to finance stock and storage before establishing whether the product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement at all!
Small businesses may order a one sample, limited runs for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the unit price scaling according to the quantity ordered.
You always get a written quotation before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in bulk, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and fit in your hand.
