Here’s why you should choose personalised packaging
A standard box has room around the item, allowing it to move about during transport until somebody fills the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Conventional packaging with an adhesive label is straightforward, but it is designed for no one in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Caerphilly and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We require no minimum order for anything we make, allowing you to avoid storage and stock costs until a product’s sales potential is determined.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will customise our recommendation specifically to the product concerned.
What custom packaging means
Custom packaging shapes the box around your product from the beginning, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
You select the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to keep the product firmly without movement caused by surplus space in a standard size.
Each element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is tailored to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, requiring less work than a fully customisable design.
Using bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Packing options we offer for Caerphilly companies
We make a comprehensive range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour featuring your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will guide you through the available options.
Shop cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a retail packaging standard, ideal for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger form of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and online retail parcels
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available as well with gussets, providing additional depth so bulkier items can rest securely without moving.
Gift boxes, solid boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products purchased as presents the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food presents and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can enhance further the outcome.
Create backing for your Caerphilly brand
Every order provides 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 verify that colours remain accurate on board, because packaging needs greater resolution than an image on a website.
You do not need any prior experience in design to develop packaging that reflects your brand. We can start with only a logo. Together, you will determine the structure and produce professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain each technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and view its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps every repeat order consistent.
If packaging is required in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, managing it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Caerphilly’s operations
Dishes and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that we produce food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require prior to listing products.
Beverages and spirit-making
Over the last twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while remaining striking on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing adding much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Makeup and grooming
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts whilst looking presentable on shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Online commerce and membership labels
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Every month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, rendering a uniform finish every bit as important as the initial design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, precisely tailored to your product packaging, secures items in transit while cutting damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product firmly during transit, while the design is immediately visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Sending to Caerphilly from our Scotland atelier
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Caerphilly provided as standard.
After proof approval is secured, the majority of orders arrive at a Caerphilly address in two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established team makes the boxes on its own presses.
You will review a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Using a single box company for packaging across your entire range of products makes everything simple.
Everything passes through one invoice and one point of contact, sparing you the frustration of chasing several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging as standard
Each box we make is 100% recyclable because its board is able to be recycled.
We obtain our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
There is no minimum purchase for Caerphilly businesses.
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever.
Smaller businesses can begin with one sample, place a limited trial run, or move to full production once demand is established, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
You always get a written quote before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are identical to those supplied for ten thousand.
Prior to placing a larger order, ask for a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it fits into your hand.
The process to place a bespoke packaging order
Send your brief by calling 01294 314 919 or via the online design tool, then let us know the product, quantity, and roughly the way it is sold.
Design and print proofing. We design packaging that suits your product, produce the print layout, and supply a proof for your approval.
Request a tangible sample where the format calls for one, then provide approval once you are satisfied with its colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and completed in Irvine before being delivered to your Caerphilly address, typically within two to three weeks.
