Why choose personalised packing materials
A standard box has space around the item, letting it to rattle during transit until someone fills the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Conventional packaging with an adhesive label is straightforward, but it is intended for no one in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Caerau and surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for anything we produce, so stock and storage costs remain unnecessary until you know a product is going to sell.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What bespoke packaging entails
Bespoke packaging is designed for your product from the outset, with its size and print tailored to the item you are packing.
By selecting the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box secures the product firmly, 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 your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, requiring less work than a fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Wrapping solutions we produce for Caerau firms
We manufacture a broad range of packaging boxes, each produced to custom dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the most suitable box style and packaging format is based on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will clearly explain.
Shop boxes and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging type 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 sturdier type of lock box, made from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and online retail cartons
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, while turning delivery into an extension of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not just its outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Present boxes, strong boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with other branded boxes provide purchases made as gifts with the presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally 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.
Create support for your Caerau brand.
We provide packaging design support with every order, regardless of your artwork’s current stage.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and verify that colours remain accurate on board, because packaging needs greater resolution than an image on a website.
You do not need any prior design experience to create packaging that represents your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Working together, you will establish the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain each technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool lets you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it is printed, while Pantone colour matching ensures every repeat order remains consistent.
If you require packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement and manages it in the same way we would any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for the Caerau’s sectors
Dishes and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured on either side of the border.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is produced in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Tipples and liquor producers
During the last two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact required for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Toiletries and self-care products for Caerau
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst looking good on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges that must support a higher price point.
Online commerce and recurring payment brands
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, whereas subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, making a consistent finish just as important as the original design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging holds products securely during transit, helping prevent damage, reduce claims and minimise returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product shifting during transit, whilst keeping the print in view as soon as the box is opened.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders monthly, maintaining identical box dimensions helps keep pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly significant consideration as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Distributing Caerau straight from our Scottish plant
All items are produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Caerau provided as standard.
After your proof is approved, most orders arrive at a Caerau address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timeframe for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer printing and producing print and packaging since 1997. Its seasoned team creates the boxes on its own presses!
You receive a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Using a single box company for packaging across your entire product range preserves simplicity.
You get one invoice and work via a single point of contact, rather than chasing multiple suppliers, each quoting different prices for individual weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging as typical
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable because its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
There is no minimum purchase for Caerau companies
Throughout a large part of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before ascertaining whether the product will sell.
There is no requirement for a minimum order .
Small businesses can order a single sample, a restricted trial run, or a full production batch after proving demand, with per unit pricing adjusted for every order quantity throughout the range.
Before production starts, you will always receive a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in bulk, request a printed sample to check the print, colour and fit in your hand.
