Explanations prefer bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves room around the item, letting it to move about during transport until someone packs the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Basic packaging bearing an attached sticker is the easiest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging customised for your product, making sure 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 across Caerleon and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door!
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, enabling you to leave stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to fit the product precisely.
What tailored packaging means
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the start, so its size and printing reflect exactly what you are putting inside.
You choose the dimensions, enabling a made-to-measure box to keep the product securely without movement caused by surplus space in a standard size.
Each aspect, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is tailored to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
Using customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Packing formats we develop for Caerleon enterprises
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging format is dependent on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the available choices.
Shop cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, designed for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps which tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a kind of lock box, providing a stronger cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and online retail boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while boosting visibility by printing on both the inside and outside, not merely the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely without moving.
Keepsake boxes, solid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes give products bought as gifts with the polished presentation customers expect, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them themselves.
Gable boxes, fitted with a handle that folds up, are an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, that is, solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, safe for food contact paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can enhance further the finish.
Craft assistance for your Caerleon enterprise.
We offer packaging design support with every order, regardless of your artwork’s current stage.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print ready files and check that colours are reproduced accurately on board, because packaging needs higher resolution than a web image.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Beginning with no more than a logo, our team creates the structure and produces expertly designed, print-ready artwork alongside you, explaining each technical decision when it arises.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and preview its appearance on screen before printing starts. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping each repeat order stay consistent.
If packaging is needed in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Caerleon’s enterprises
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that we produce food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require prior to listing products.
Drinks and alcohol producers
Across Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has emerged over the last twenty years, extending from Brecon Beacons distilleries to newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and glamour
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts while standing out on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range seem worthy of its higher price.
E-commerce and membership brands
Packaging designed for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres matters, however, subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Since the same customer opens an nearly identical box each month, preserving a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure during transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from moving during transit, while confirming the print is straight away visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Caerleon from our Scotland manufacturing site
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Caerleon included as standard.
Most orders reach a Caerleon address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its long-standing staff makes the boxes using its own presses.
You get a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, allowing you to scale up without restarting the process again.
Employing one box company for packaging across your entire range of products keeps everything straightforward.
Everything flows through a single invoice and one point of contact, saving you from the frustration of pursuing several suppliers quoting varying prices for separate weeks.
Ethical packaging as usual
Every box we make is entirely recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while every sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Zero minimum order for Caerleon firms
Across the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever.
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 adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
Prior to production starts, you will always receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty remain identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before making a larger order, ask for a printed sample to evaluate the print, colour and how comfortably it fits into your hand.
