Purposes pick bespoke packaging
A typical box leaves empty space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transport until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Conventional packaging with a side sticker is the easiest route, but it caters to no particular customer.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Butetown and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door!
You can order any quantity of the products we make, so stock and storage costs remain unneeded until you have established that a product sells.
Tell us about your packaging needs, and we will tailor the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What personalised packaging entails
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the beginning, so its size and printing reflect exactly what you are putting inside.
By choosing the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box holds the product securely, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to accommodate what is being packed and the way it travels!
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, constituting a more modest undertaking than a fully customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, including a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Packing options we produce for Butetown firms
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, each manufactured to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The ideal box style and packaging type are based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will guide you through the choices!
Store cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging format for lighter products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a type of lock box, offering a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and increasing visibility because it is printed on the inside and outside, not solely across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items space to rest securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, durable boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles suit food gifts as well as hampers.
For premium lines, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the final effect.
Design support for your Butetown brand
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts create files ready for print and ensure colours remain true on board, where packaging demands greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Together, they develop the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its appearance on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures consistency whenever you place a repeat order.
Do you need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our staff manages it as a routine artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Butetown’s industries
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging that touches meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers evaluate before listing a product.
Tipples and liquor producers
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a genuine drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to more recent gin and whisky producers further north.
Presentation boxes for bottles must withstand transit while staying striking on the shelf, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and beauty
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect fragile glass and compacts while presenting attractively on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Digital commerce and subscribing businesses
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, whereas subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Every month, the same customer revisits an almost identical box, making a dependable finish equally important as the initial design.
Precisely sized e commerce packaging holds products safely during transit, helping prevent damage, lower claims and limit returns.
A bespoke insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, while ensuring the print stays visible straight away when the box opens.
For a subscription brand that places monthly reorders, using identical box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an increasingly valuable advantage once volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Shipping to Butetown from our Scotland
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Butetown provided as standard.
After proof approval, most orders arrive at a Butetown address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, meaning an established team makes the boxes using its own presses.
You will review a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means beginning from scratch!
Using a single box company for your entire product range makes packaging.
You receive one invoice and deal with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging as the norm
Each box we produce is entirely recyclable, because of the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, where every sheet traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easily recyclable, and both create disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead of them.
Without a minimum purchase for Butetown companies
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Smaller businesses can start with one sample, place a small trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is established, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
You are sent a written quote before production starts, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before making a bigger order, ask for a printed sample to evaluate the print, colour and how comfortably it sits in your hand.
