Reasons go for bespoke packaging
A regular box creates empty space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to keep it still.
Basic packaging with a sticker attached is the easiest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging expressly for 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 businesses throughout Bryn Offa and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from a single sample to a complete pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
You can order any quantity of the products we make, so inventory and storage expenses remain unnecessary until you have established that a product sells.
Tell us about your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What personalised packaging entails
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the beginning, meaning that its size and printing correspond exactly to what you are packing.
Choose the dimensions, allowing a custom-sized box to secure the product firmly without avoidable movement caused by a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Adding a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, but it is a smaller project than a fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you can alter every panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, producing packaging that fits without compromise.
Wrapping formats we make for Bryn Offa firms
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, tailored to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will take you through the available options.
Shop cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, designed for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger form of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and online retail boxes
A bespoke mailer box protects your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility through printing on the inside as well as the outside, not merely the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, creating extra depth so bulkier items can sit securely without moving.
Gift containers, solid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Design backing for your Bryn Offa organisation
Each order provides packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and check that the colours remain accurate on board, because packaging needs a greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Beginning with no more than a logo, our team creates the structure and creates expertly designed, print-ready artwork with you, explaining each technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and preview its look before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains each repeat order consistent.
If packaging is needed in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it precisely as it would any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for Bryn Offa’s industries
Cuisine and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that we produce food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require prior to listing products.
Drinks and spirit makers
During the last twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes have to survive transit and look smart on the shelf as well! Finishes including foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and aesthetics
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts whilst looking presentable on shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and subscription brands
Retail and display packaging is key when a product is positioned in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands encounter a different assessment.
The same customer opens an almost identical box every month, which makes a uniform finish as important as the original design.
Effective online retail packaging, made to match your product packaging precisely, keeps goods protected during transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, while confirming the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand placing repeat orders each month, keeping consistent box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important factor as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Shipping to Bryn Offa from our Scottish studio
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Bryn Offa supplied as standard.
Most orders reach a Bryn Offa address within two to three weeks after proof approval, following the same schedule as our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes on its own presses!
You get a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never requires again.
Using a single box company for packaging across your whole product range makes everything straightforward.
You receive a single invoice and work via a sole point of contact, instead of pursuing multiple suppliers, each offering different prices for separate weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging as routine
Every box we produce is fully recyclable, with that recyclability rooted in the board itself.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither is easy to recycle, and both create disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
No minimum purchase for Bryn Offa companies.
Across the industry, custom packaging frequently 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 requirement for a minimum order .
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at every quantity across this range.
Before production begins, you will always receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty remain identical to those supplied 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.
