Why choose custom packing materials
A standard box creates empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transport until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Standard packaging bearing an attached sticker is the simplest choice, but it is designed for no one specifically.
Custom Pack Studio designs tailored packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Blackpill and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from a single sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order, so stock and storage costs stay out of the equation until you know that a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What tailored packaging involves
Custom packaging begins with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit precisely what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to keep the product securely without movement resulting from 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 onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, involving less work than a fully customisable design.
With customised packaging, you can alter every panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, creating packaging that fits without compromise.
Packing formats we manufacture for Blackpill businesses
We manufacture a wide selection of packaging boxes, each made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the most appropriate box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will explain clearly.
Retail cartons and custom branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a favourite in retail packaging, well suited for low-weight products like cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold inwards at both the top and lower end.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and web store cartons
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and increasing visibility because it is printed on the inside and outside, 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 boxes, solid boxes and roof-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging provide gifts with the presentation customers expect, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) rather than standard carton stock, whereas finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the outcome.
Craft backing for your Blackpill business
Each order comes with packaging design support, regardless of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print ready files and check that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging needs greater resolution than a website image.
Prior design experience is not necessary to produce packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with no more than a logo, developing the structure and expertly designed, ready to print artwork with you, while clarifying each technical decision clearly as it comes up.
Our web-based tool lets you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it reaches print, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order stays consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a routine artwork requirement and handles it just as we would any other language or colour alteration.
Personalised packaging for the Blackpill’s industries
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, regardless of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers evaluate before listing a product.
Beverages and spirit makers
Over the last twenty years, Wales has developed a distinctive drinks industry, encompassing distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and newer gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to survive transit and look smart on the shelf as well! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing deliver much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and glamour
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts whilst presenting well on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging incorporating soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that needs to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and subscription brands
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Each month, the same customer revisits an almost identical box, rendering a dependable finish equally important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, maintains items secure in transit and lowers claims for damage and returns.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transport, as the print greets the eye the moment the box opens.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an increasingly important factor as volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Delivering to Blackpill from our Scottish facility
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to companies in Blackpill provided as standard.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Blackpill address generally arrive within two to three weeks, following the timetable for all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team produces the boxes using its own presses.
You approve a proof and, where needed by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders keep the original artwork, meaning larger quantities require no fresh preparation.
Using one box company for packaging across your whole product range preserves simplicity.
You receive one invoice and liaise with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging as usual
Each box we create is fully recyclable, with that recyclability stemming from the board itself.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traceable via an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill as neither is easily recyclable, while both pose disposal challenges after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
Without a minimum buy for Blackpill businesses
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before finding out if your product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement at all!
Small businesses can start with one sample, place a small trial run, or move to full production once demand is proven, while unit pricing scales across every quantity in between.
You will consistently receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to committing to a greater quantity, obtain a printed sample and evaluate the print, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Personalised packaging Blackpill FAQs
Do provide specialised packaging to Blackpill?
Yes. We manufacture each product in Irvine, then deliver throughout the UK as part of our standard service, reaching each corner of Blackpill and the whole of Wales without levying a additional fee because the destination lies further from our factory.
What’s is the minimum packaging order in Blackpill?
No minimum order is required. You can order a one box or several thousand in any format, with pricing scaled to quantity in a written quote issued before production begins.
Which packing elements can I tailor?
Each format can be tailored 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.
May I request samples of your wrapping products before submitting an order?
Of course! Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check the colours meet your brief and make sure the board feels right before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging able to be recycled and can it break down naturally?
All packaging boxes are fully recyclable. We exclude plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are made available when the format permits.
May we order again the same pattern at a later time?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so expanding an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
