Reasons go for bespoke packaging
A conventional box leaves empty space around the product, enabling it to move noisily during transit until foam or paper is placed to stop movement.
Standard packaging with a label affixed to its side might be convenient, but it is designed for no specific audience.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Blaenymaes and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from a single sample to a complete pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order on anything we make, therefore stock and storage costs are unnecessary until you are certain a product is going to sell.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging means
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the beginning, so its size and printing correspond exactly to what you are packing.
Select the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to secure the product securely without unnecessary movement caused by a standard size.
Every element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is adapted to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, requiring less work than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly and without compromise.
Wrapping formats we make for Blaenymaes organisations
We make a complete range of packaging boxes in bespoke sizes, printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the appropriate box style and packaging depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will guide you through the options available.
Store cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a well-known retail packaging choice for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, meaning that heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shop parcels
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network while turning delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of solely on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, giving bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, robust boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers anticipate, whilst saving them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Finishes including foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Create backing for your Blaenymaes enterprise
Each order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
After your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts prepare files ready for print and ensure colours remain true on board, where packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
You need not have any previous experience in design to develop packaging that represents your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Working together, you will determine the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain 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 also available, helping every repeat order remain consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, handled in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Specialised packaging for Blaenymaes’s own industries
Cuisine and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while food packaging in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is made on both sides of the border.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is produced within controlled and traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers conduct prior to approving products for listing.
Beverages and spirit makers
During the last twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while maintaining their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and personal care
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect delicate glass and compacts while presenting attractively on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges that need to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and membership labels
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products are held in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box each month, which makes a consistent finish just as important as the initial design.
Effective online retail packaging, made to correspond to your product packaging exactly, keeps goods secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product shifting in transit, whilst keeping the print visible as soon as the box opens.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders monthly, retaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an ever more important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Supplying Blaenymaes right from our Scotland factory
All products are manufactured within our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Blaenymaes.
The majority of orders reach a Blaenymaes address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff produces the boxes using its own presses.
You will check a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Employing a single box company for packaging throughout your full product range streamlines the process.
Have a single invoice and a single point of contact, rather than seeking out multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for a different week.
Ethical packaging as commonplace
Each box we make is 100% recyclable as the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper are procured from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet traceable through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We’re reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither recycles easily, while both create disposal headaches once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in place of them.
Zero minimum order for Blaenymaes organisations
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage prior to determining whether a product will sell.
We require no minimum order whatsoever.
Smaller businesses may order a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
You will consistently receive 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.
Before committing to a larger quantity, obtain a printed sample and assess the print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
