How come opt for bespoke packaging
A regular box has space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until someone packs the gaps with paper or foam to keep it still.
Standard packaging with a label affixed to its side might be convenient, but it is designed for no specific audience.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging customised for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Birchgrove and the nearby valleys, with order quantities spanning one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for anything we produce, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is determined.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation specifically to the product concerned.
What custom packaging involves
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the start, so its size and printing correspond exactly to what you are packing.
You choose the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to hold the product securely without movement caused by excess 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 on a stock box produces personalised packaging, needing less work than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for one run, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely without compromise.
Packaging styles which we produce for Birchgrove companies
We create a complete range of packaging boxes, each manufactured to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the suitable box style and packaging format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Shop cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging type for less heavy products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of lock box, made from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Posting and e-commerce parcels
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and increasing visibility as it is printed inside and out, not only across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, allowing bulkier items space to rest securely without shifting.
Gift containers, rigid containers and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with additional branded boxes provide gift purchases with the presentation customers expect, without them needing to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are great for food presents and hampers!
For premium ranges, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the finished effect.
Craft guidance for your Birchgrove enterprise
Each order includes 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 reproduce correctly on board, as packaging needs higher resolution than website imagery.
You don’t need design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with only just a logo. Together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, detailing each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our online tool enables you to personalise a box and preview its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency whenever you make a repeat order.
If packaging is required in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, managing it precisely as it would any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Birchgrove’s own industries
Cuisine and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging which touches meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Drinks and distilleries
During the past two decades, Wales has built a real drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers throughout the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transport while preserving their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and beauty
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that safeguard delicate glass packaging and compacts whilst presenting an attractive appearance on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Online commerce and membership companies
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Because the same customer unpacks an nearly identical box each month, keeping a consistent finish is equally important as the original design.
Packaging designed to match your product’s precise dimensions keeps items secure in transit, reducing damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transport, while making sure the print is immediately visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders each month, keeping uniform box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Providing Birchgrove right from our Scottish production site
Everything is produced at our Irvine site, with delivery across the UK to businesses in Birchgrove provided as standard.
Once proof approval is confirmed, most orders arrive at a Birchgrove address in two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, which means an long-standing team produces the boxes using its own presses.
You get a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Repeat orders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without starting the process from the beginning.
Employing a single box company for your full product range makes packaging.
You receive one invoice and work through a sole point of contact, instead of pursuing several suppliers, each quoting different prices for separate weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging as a rule
Every box we create is fully recyclable, with that recyclability rooted in the board itself.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while each sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
Across our processes, we are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill as neither is readily recyclable, while both pose disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
Without a minimum purchase for Birchgrove businesses
Across the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all.
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at every quantity across this range.
You will consistently receive a written quote before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to the ones 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 in your hand.

Custom boxing Birchgrove FAQ
Can you offer tailor-made packaging to Birchgrove?
Yes. Everything is manufactured in Irvine, with standard delivery across the UK, including every part of Birchgrove and throughout Wales. We make no additional charge for distance from the factory.
Which is the least packing order in Birchgrove?
No minimum order applies. You may order a single box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing scaled to quantity in a written quotation provided before production begins.
What packaging components can I customise?
Each format allows you complete flexibility to change the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the resulting packaging meets your brief precisely. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the inside as well as the outside.
Could you give samples of your parcel goods before I make an order?
Of course! Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to verify the colours meet your brief and make sure the board feels right before authorising a bulk order.
Could the packaging become recyclable and can it biodegrade?
Every packaging box is completely recyclable. We omit plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are made available when the format permits.
Is it possible to someone submit the exact Birchgrove design purchase later on?
Indeed, reorders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
