Why would you decide on custom packaging
A regular box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gaps with foam or paper to hold it still.
Conventional packaging with a sticker on the side is the simplest route, but it serves no particular customer.
Custom Pack Studio creates tailored packaging specifically for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We make custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Brecon and the surrounding valleys, with orders spanning a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for anything we make, therefore stock and storage costs remain unnecessary until you know a product will sell.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will customise our recommendation specifically to the product in question.
What custom packaging entails
With custom packaging, your box is designed around the product from the outset, so its dimensions and print suit exactly what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, so that a custom-sized box holds the product securely rather than allowing it to rattle within excess space created by a generic size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also custom designed, carefully matched to what is being packed and the way it travels.
Adding a logo to a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a less ambitious project than fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, allowing you to create packaging that fits precisely and without compromise.
Wrapping solutions we produce for Brecon firms
We create a complete range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork!
Choosing the appropriate box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Shop cartons and logoed packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a standard for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust kind of lock box, made from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shopping boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, allowing bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Keepsake boxes, rigid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give presents with the presentation customers anticipate, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food gifts as well as hampers!
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the result.
Create solutions for your Brecon brand
Every order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are established, our design experts prepare files suitable for print and make sure colours remain true on board, where packaging demands higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need experience in design to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they create the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while supporting you through every technical decision along the way.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it goes to print, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order remains 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 change.
Bespoke packaging for Brecon’s own industries
Meals and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured on either side of the border.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in carefully controlled, traceable conditions that retailers assess before listing a product.
Beverages and spirit producers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles must withstand transit while staying eye-catching on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Makeup and personal care products for Brecon
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts whilst looking presentable on shelves.
We produce 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 recurring payment brands
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a different challenge.
Because the same customer opens an nearly identical box each month, preserving a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
Precisely sized e commerce packaging holds products safely during transit, helping to prevent damage, lower claims and limit returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product shifting in transit, while keeping the print in view once the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that reorders each month, keeping consistent box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Brecon from our Scottish plant
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Brecon.
Once proof approval is secured, most orders arrive at a Brecon address within two to three weeks, following the same timetable as the rest of our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer that has been producing print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team producing boxes on its own presses.
You get a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without restarting the process from the beginning.
Working with a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product line keeps everything straightforward.
You get a single invoice and work via a single point of contact, instead of chasing several suppliers, each quoting different prices for separate weeks.
Renewable packaging as standard
Each box we make is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are procured from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet traceable through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
Across our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is easily recyclable, while both pose disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in its place.
No minimum minimum order size for Brecon companies
Across the wider industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement .
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or move on to full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at every quantity across this range.
Prior to production starts, you will always receive a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in volume, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and fit in your hand.
How to request bespoke packs

Design and proof. We create packaging design designed for your product, prepare the print layout, and send a proof for you to review.
Ask for and approve a sample. If the format calls for one, order a physical sample, then sign off when you are happy with the colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and completed in Irvine before being delivered to your Brecon address, generally within two to three weeks.

Can you give demonstrations of your parcel products before I submit an order?
Certainly! Your sample is delivered printed and finished precisely as it would be in production, allowing you to verify the colours meet your brief and ensure the board feels right before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging recyclable and compostable?
