Why go with custom packaging
A conventional box provides room around the product, enabling it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Conventional packaging with a sticker is straightforward, but it is intended for no one in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Brynmawr and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order on anything we make, so you avoid stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll customise the recommendation to fit the product precisely.
What personalised packaging signifies
Custom packaging begins with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect what it contains.
You choose the dimensions, allowing a made-to-measure box to cradle the product securely rather than letting it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are tailored to suit the packed contents and how it travels.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, needing less work than a fully customisable design.
With customised packaging, you are able to alter each panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, producing packaging that fits without compromise.
Wrapping styles we create for Brynmawr businesses
We manufacture a broad range of packaging boxes, each made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will take you through the options available.
Shop containers and logo packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a well-known retail packaging option for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Parcel and online shopping boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility as it is printed inside and out, not solely across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, providing additional depth to keep larger items securely in place.
Gift boxes, rigid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging provide presents with the presentation customers expect, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Craft guidance for your Brynmawr enterprise
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print ready files and check that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than a web image.
Prior design experience is not required to produce packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with no more than a logo, developing the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork with you, while explaining each technical decision clearly as it arises.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps each repeat order consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards it as a usual artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for the Brynmawr’s businesses
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is produced in controlled and traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Beverages and distillation locations
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a distinctive drinks industry, encompassing distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and newer gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transportation while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact needed for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Cosmetics and cosmetics
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, while creating an attractive display on retail shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges that need to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring payment brands
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products are held in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, whereas subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Every month, the same customer revisits an nearly identical box, rendering a dependable finish just as important as the initial design.
High-grade e-commerce packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure during transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transport, as the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
Subscription-based brands that reorder monthly can maintain pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining a single box size. This becomes increasingly important when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Delivering to Brynmawr from our Scotland workshop
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to companies in Brynmawr included by default.
Following proof approval, most orders arrive at a Brynmawr address within two to three weeks, matching our packaging delivery schedule throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where an experienced team creates boxes on its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample prior to full production starts. Reorders retain the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Using a single box company for your entire product range simplifies packaging.
You have one invoice and one dedicated point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for a separate week.
Earth-friendly packaging as expected
Every box we create is fully recyclable, with this recyclability rooted in the board itself.
We source our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet traced through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither is easily recyclable, and both cause disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
No minimum order for Brynmawr companies.
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may place an order for a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price varying at each quantity across this range.
You will always receive a written quotation before production begins, while 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, get a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Yes. We manufacture all items in Irvine and provide standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Brynmawr and Wales, without an extra charge simply because of the distance from our factory.

There is no minimum order requirement. You can order a single box or several thousand in any format, with pricing based on quantity and confirmed in writing before production begins.
What sections of the packaging can be customised?
Dimensions, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be customised for every format, making sure the designed packaging fulfils your brief precisely. A branded packaging order can also be printed on both the interior and outside.
Would you send packaging goods demonstrations prior to we place an order?
Certainly. The sample is printed and finished to exactly the same standard as a production run, enabling you to confirm that the colours match your brief and that the board has the right feel before approving a bulk order.
Is the container able to be recycled and compostable?
All packaging boxes are fully recyclable. We omit plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are offered when the format allows.

Yes, reorders are made from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or placing it again for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
