Why would you go for customised packaging
A standard box creates spare space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transport until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Conventional packaging with a sticker on the side is the simplest approach, but it caters to no particular customer.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging for your product, ensuring that the box, print and finish enhance your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Bridgend and the nearby valleys, with order quantities spanning one sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order for anything we make, therefore stock and storage expenses are unnecessary until you are certain a product is going to sell.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to suit the product precisely.
What custom packaging covers
Custom packaging begins with a box specifically designed for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect its contents.
You choose the dimensions, enabling a made-to-measure box to keep the product securely without movement caused by excess space in a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to suit what is being packed and the way it travels!
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, offering a more modest project than completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for just one unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Wrapping formats we create for Bridgend firms
We manufacture a complete range of packaging boxes to bespoke sizes, printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging format is dependent on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the available options.
Store cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a standard for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a kind of lock box, offering a stronger cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Delivery and internet commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network while making 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 offer additional depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Gift boxes, hard boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes give products purchased as gifts the refined presentation customers expect, while sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, fitted with a handle that folds up, make an excellent choice for food gifts and 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 support for your Bridgend company
Every order comes with packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts create files ready for print and make sure colours remain true on board, where packaging demands greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need previous design experience to create packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo, define the structure and produce professionally designed artwork prepared for print working with you, explaining each technical decision as it arises.
Our web-based tool lets you customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping every repeat order consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in exactly the same manner as any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Bridgend’s industries
Dishes and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers evaluate before including a product.
Tipples and spirit makers
Over the last two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers throughout the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while staying striking on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and beauty
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect fragile glass and compacts while looking elegantly on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
Online shopping and recurring companies
Retail ready and display packaging serves a purpose when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands face an wholly different challenge.
Because the same customer opens up an almost identical box every month, maintaining a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, precisely tailored to your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit while reducing damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting in transit, whilst keeping the print in view as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders monthly, keeping consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Dispatching to Bridgend from our Scotland atelier
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Bridgend.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Bridgend address generally reach within two to three weeks, following the timetable for all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its long-standing staff 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 retain the original artwork, ensuring larger quantities require no new preparation.
Employing a single box company for your entire product range makes packaging.
You have a single invoice and a single contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Eco-friendly packaging as routine
Every box we make is 100% recyclable because the board itself enables that recyclability.
We obtain our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both create difficulties with disposal after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Not any minimum purchase requirement for Bridgend companies
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to fund stock and storage before establishing whether a product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Small businesses may order a single sample, limited runs for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the unit price scaling according to the quantity ordered.
Prior to production begins, you will invariably receive a written quotation, whereas 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 placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.

Custom packaging Bridgend Common Questions
Can you provide personalised packaging to Bridgend?
Yes. We manufacture all items in Irvine and offer standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Bridgend and Wales, without an extra charge simply because of the distance from our factory.

No minimum order applies. Whether you require one box or several thousand in whatever format, you will be provided with quantity based pricing via a written quotation before production starts.
Which package elements can I personalise?
Every format can be tailored regarding size, structure, board weight, print and finish, making sure your packaging meets the brief perfectly. Want to make an impact? Your branded packaging order can include printing both inside and outside.
Is it possible that I request examples of your packing products before submitting an order?
Yes. You get a sample printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours satisfy your brief and the board feels suitable before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging suitable for recycling and can it break down naturally?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless they are necessary for food safety, and biodegradable protective materials are available where the format allows.
Could we order again the same template later?
Certainly, reorders use the original artwork file, allowing you to increase an order or prepare for another season without redesigning the packaging.
