Why choose tailor-made packaging
A standard box leaves room around the product, making it rattle in transit until foam or paper is packed in to stop movement.
Standard packaging with an adhesive label is easy, but it is intended for no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates tailored packaging particularly for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Bedwas and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from a single sample to a complete pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
We require no minimum order, so stock and storage costs stay out of the picture until you know whether a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What personalised packaging entails
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the start, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
You select the measurements, enabling a made-to-measure box to hold the product securely without movement caused by surplus space in a standard size.
Every element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, requiring less work than a completely customisable design.
Customised packaging puts each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, enabling you to create a bespoke solution that fits precisely, without compromise.
Packing formats we make for Bedwas companies
We make a full range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the correct box style and packaging type hinges on your product and the way it is handled. Our packaging experts will guide you through the available options.
Shop cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a common retail packaging option, suited to lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, featuring closure flaps that fold into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Mailer and online retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out instead of only on the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, allowing bulkier items room to rest securely.
Keepsake boxes, rigid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and additional branded boxes give gift purchases with the presentation customers expect, without them needing to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes, with a handle that folds upwards, are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, safe for food contact paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can further enhance the finish.
Develop support for your Bedwas label
Every order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and branding guidelines, our design experts produce print-ready files and confirm that colours reproduce accurately on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Starting with nothing more than a logo, our team creates the structure and creates professionally designed, print-ready artwork with you, clarifying each technical decision 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 available too, helping each repeat order remain consistent.
If packaging is needed in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it precisely as it would any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Bedwas’s sectors
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, regardless of which side of the border it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that we manufacture food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require before listing products.
Refreshments and distilling venues
During the past two decades, Wales has established a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers farther north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while staying striking on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and grooming products for Bedwas
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must shield delicate glass and compacts while presenting elegantly on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and membership brands
Packaging created for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, however, subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Each month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, rendering a uniform finish every bit as important as the original design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging holds products securely in transit, helping prevent damage, lower claims and minimise returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting in transit, while keeping the print in view once the box opens.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can maintain pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Bedwas from our Scotland craft space
All items are made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Bedwas supplied as standard.
The majority of orders reach a Bedwas address within two to three weeks after proof approval, following the same schedule as our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its long-standing staff produces the boxes on its own presses.
You examine a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders use the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Using a single box company for packaging across your whole product range makes the process simple.
You receive one invoice and work with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging as a rule
Each box we produce is fully recyclable, with that recyclability rooted in the board itself.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track each sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both create difficulties with disposal after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
There’s no minimum quantity for Bedwas enterprises.
Across the industry, custom packaging commonly requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Smaller businesses can begin with a single sample, place a limited trial run, or move to full production once demand is confirmed, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
Before production starts, you will invariably receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty remain identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, request a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.
How should you make a personalised packing order
Send us your brief. Ring 01294 314 919 or use the online design tool, then let us know the product, quantity and how it is sold.
Packaging design and proofing. We create the packaging design suited to your product, arrange the print layout, and provide a proof for your approval.
Ask for a physical sample where the format requires one, then give approval once you are happy with its colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine, subsequently delivered to your Bedwas address, normally within two to three weeks.
Custom packaging Bedwas Q&A
Would you supply specialised packaging to Bedwas?
Yes. We produce every product in Irvine, then deliver throughout the UK as standard, extending to every corner of Bedwas and the whole of Wales without applying a separate fee because the destination lies further from our factory.
Which might be the lowest packaging order for Bedwas?
There is no minimum order. We can manufacture one box or thousands in any format, with quantity-based pricing confirmed in a written quotation before manufacture begins.
Which packing components can I adapt?
Size, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be changed for every format, ensuring the packaging meets your brief precisely. Branded packaging can also include printing on both the interior and outside.
Would you offer packing product demonstrations before we place an order?
Yes. You receive a sample printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board seems suitable before authorising a bulk order.
Is the container able to be recycled and compostable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety makes them required, while biodegradable protective materials are offered where the format permits.
Can I place another order for the same layout at a later time?
Yes, repeat orders use the same artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or repeating it for a new season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
