Compelling reasons choose custom packaging
A conventional box leaves space around the product, making it rattle during transit until foam or paper is packed in to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with a sticker is straightforward, but it is intended for nobody in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Brynmill and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order for anything we make, meaning you avoid stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Tell us about your packaging requirements, and we will customise the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What personalised packaging means
Bespoke packaging is created for your product from the start, with its dimensions and print adapted to what you are packing.
You choose the measurements, so that a custom-sized box keeps the product secure rather than allowing it to rattle within surplus space created by a standard size.
Every element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is customised for the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, requiring less work than a completely customisable design.
Customised packaging places each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, enabling you to create a bespoke solution that fits perfectly, without compromise.
Packing solutions we offer for Brynmill firms
We manufacture a comprehensive range of packaging boxes, each made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the correct box style and packaging type depends on your product and the way it is handled. Our packaging specialists will take you through the options available.
Store cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging type for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat upon opening, preventing heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and digital shop cartons
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network while turning delivery part of the brand experience and improving visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer extra depth, allowing bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Surprise packages, rigid boxes and pitched containers
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded boxes give gift purchases with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without them needing to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit food gifts as well as hampers.
For premium ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock, while finishes including foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Design backing for your Brynmill business.
Each order includes support with packaging design, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are established, our design experts create files suitable for print and ensure colours stay true on board, where packaging demands greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while supporting you through each technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it is printed, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order stays consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team considers this to be a standard artwork requirement and manages it in the same way we would any other language or colour alteration.
Specialised packaging for Brynmill’s companies
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while food packaging contacting meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, regardless of where it is produced on both sides of the border.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that we produce food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require before listing products.
Beverages and spirit-making locations
During the past two decades, Wales has established a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to more recent gin and whisky producers farther north.
Bottle presentation boxes have to survive transit and look smart on the shelf as well! Finishes including foil stamping and embossing provide much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Makeup and grooming
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect delicate glass and compacts while looking beautifully on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes are suited to premium ranges requiring a higher price point to be justified.
Online commerce and membership brands
Packaging intended for retail display is important when a product is located in a store or marketplace fulfilment centre, but subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box every month, which makes a uniform finish just as important as the original design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging keeps products safely in transit, helping to prevent damage, lower claims and minimise returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from shifting during transit, while making sure the print is straight away visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders each month, keeping uniform box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Supplying to Brynmill from our Scotland studio
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Brynmill included as standard.
After proof approval is obtained, most orders arrive at a Brynmill address in two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer printing and producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes on its own presses!
You check a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production begins, while reorders use the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Employing a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product range makes the process straightforward.
You have one invoice and one contact, removing the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Sustainable packaging as common practice
Each box we make is entirely recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are sourced 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 throughout our processes because neither is easy to recycle, and both cause disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place.
Zero minimum buy for Brynmill enterprises
Throughout a large part of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to finance stock and storage before establishing whether the product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all.
Small businesses may order one 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.
You always receive a written quote before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are identical to those supplied for ten thousand.
Before ordering in volume, request a printed sample to check the print, colour and fit in your hand.
