Reasons pick bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves space around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until someone packs the gaps with paper or foam to hold it in place.
Basic packaging with a sticker attached is the easiest option, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging customised for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Bettws and the surrounding valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order on anything we make, so you avoid stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Share your packaging needs, and we will adapt the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What custom packaging consists of
Custom packaging begins with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
By selecting the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box secures the product firmly, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard 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 customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly and with no compromise.
Packaging types we manufacture for Bettws enterprises
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork!
Choosing the correct box style and packaging type depends on your product and the way it is handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the options available.
Retail cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a well-known retail packaging option for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold neatly into 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.
Shipping and online retail boxes
A bespoke mailer box protects your product across the courier network and turns delivery into part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than only across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Keepsake containers, sturdy boxes and pitched-roof boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give gifts with the presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a handle which folds up, are particularly suitable for food presents and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Craft support for your Bettws enterprise
Each order provides packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has advanced.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts prepare print-ready files and verify that the colours remain accurate on board, as packaging needs a greater resolution than a website image.
You don’t need experience in design to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Together, they create the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while supporting you through each technical decision along the way.
Our online tool enables you to personalise a box and preview its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency each time you place a repeat order.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our staff handles this as a routine artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Personalised packaging for the Bettws’s industries
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured on either side of the border.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is manufactured within controlled and traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers undertake before approving products for listing.
Drinks and spirit-making locations
Over the past twenty years, Wales has established a distinctive drinks industry, spanning distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transportation while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact required for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Beauty products and personal care
Cosmetics and skincare companies require cartons that protect delicate glass packaging and compacts while presenting an attractive appearance on the shelf.
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.
Electronic commerce and membership brands
Packaging intended for retail display is important when a product sits in a store or marketplace fulfilment centre, but subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Every month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, rendering a consistent finish every bit as important as the original design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, tailored precisely to your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit while cutting damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product secure during transit, while the print stays visible as soon as the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, using consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more valuable advantage once volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Sending to Bettws from our Scottish manufacturing site
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Bettws included as standard.
The majority of orders reach a Bettws address within two to three weeks after proof approval, keeping to the same schedule as our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, which means an long-standing team makes the boxes with its own presses.
Before full production begins, you get a proof and, when the format calls for it, a physical sample, as reorders retain the same artwork, making expansion wonderfully straightforward.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your entire range of products keeps everything straightforward.
You receive one invoice and operate through a sole point of contact, rather than chasing multiple suppliers, each quoting different prices for separate weeks.
Ethical packaging as standard
Each box we make is fully recyclable, with that recyclability stemming from the board itself.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing 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 allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
Without a minimum order for Bettws enterprises
Across a large part of the industry, custom packaging demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to finance stock and storage before determining whether the product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement of any kind!
Small businesses can order a single sample, a restricted trial run, or a full production batch once they have proved demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity across the range.
You are sent a written quote before production begins, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, get a printed sample to assess its print, colour and its fit in your hand.

Bespoke packaging Bettws FAQ
Can you provide bespoke packaging to Bettws?
Yes. We produce each product in Irvine, and then deliver throughout the UK as standard, reaching every corner of Bettws and the whole of Wales without applying a additional charge because the destination lies further from our factory.
What represents the minimum packaging amount at Bettws?
No minimum order! Choose one box or several thousand in any format, with prices adjusted according to quantity in a written quote before production begins.
Which package elements can I customise?
Each format can be customised regarding size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring your packaging fits the brief perfectly. Looking to make an impact? Your branded packaging order can include printing both inside and outside.
Is it possible that I get samples of your packing products before placing 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 meet your brief and that the board has the right feel before approving a bulk order.
Will the packaging become recyclable as well as can it biodegrade?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are used whenever the format permits.
Could I purchase again the same template later?
Yes, reorders utilise the original artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or placing it again for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from scratch.
