For what reason opt for custom packaging
A regular box leaves unfilled space around the product, enabling it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is inserted to stop movement.
Conventional packaging with a label applied to its side may be convenient, but it is intended for no specific audience.
Custom Pack Studio produces custom-made packaging expressly for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish uphold your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Blaenavon and the nearby valleys, with orders spanning a single sample to a full pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce requires a minimum order, allowing you to set stock and storage costs aside until a product has shown that it sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What custom packaging signifies
Custom packaging starts with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect its contents.
By choosing the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box holds the product firmly, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
The construction, board weight, print and finish are tailored to suit the packed contents and how it travels.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, requiring less work than a entirely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be adjusted, even for just one unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits perfectly.
Packaging formats we make for Blaenavon enterprises
We make a full range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the most suitable box style and packaging format is based on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will clearly explain.
Commercial cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a well-known retail packaging choice for lightweight products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold tidily into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a kind of lock box, providing a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and online shopping boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility by printing on both the inside and outside, not merely the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer extra depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, rigid boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging provide presents with the presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the finished effect.
Design help for your Blaenavon company
We provide packaging design support with every order, regardless of your artwork’s current stage.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and confirm that colours reproduce correctly on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while supporting you through every technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures consistency whenever you place a repeat order.
When you require packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Blaenavon’s own industries
Meals and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Refreshments and spirit-making locations
During the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while retaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and grooming
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts while looking good on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes pair with premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Digital retail and subscription labels
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Because the same customer opens an almost identical box monthly, keeping a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
Efficient online retail packaging, made to match your product packaging exactly, keeps goods secure in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, whilst keeping the print visible as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders each month, maintaining identical box dimensions helps maintain pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Blaenavon from our Scotland
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Blaenavon included as standard.
Most orders reach a Blaenavon address within two to three weeks following proof approval, using the same timetable as all 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 established team creates the boxes using its own presses.
Before full production begins, you receive a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample, while reorders retain the same artwork, rendering expansion wonderfully simple.
Using a sole box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
You have a single invoice and one contact, avoiding the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging as standard
Each box we produce is completely recyclable, with this recyclability stemming from the board itself.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits trace each sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is easily recyclable, and both cause disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in its place.
Not any minimum order for Blaenavon companies.
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage prior to establishing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever.
Small businesses may order one sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price adjusting at each quantity across this range.
You will always receive a written quotation prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in bulk, ask for a printed sample to inspect the print, colour and fit in your hand.
