What makes you choose tailor-made packaging
A standard box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone packs the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be simple, but it belongs to nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates custom-made packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of covering it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Caia Park and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from one sample to a complete pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
Nothing we produce requires a minimum order, allowing you to leave stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging implies
Custom packaging begins with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit precisely what you are packing.
You choose the measurements, allowing a made-to-measure box to keep the product securely without movement caused by excess space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, needing less work than a entirely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for a single unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits perfectly.
Package formats we create for Caia Park firms
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, produced to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork!
Selecting the appropriate style of box and packaging format depends on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the available choices.
Shop cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, designed for lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust kind of lock box, made from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Delivery and electronic commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while boosting visibility through printing on the inside as well as the outside, not merely the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely.
Keepsake boxes, solid boxes and pitched-roof packages
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, while sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles are ideal for food presents and hampers.
In premium ranges, we sometimes 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 backing for your Caia Park company.
Every order comes with packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and verify that colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs higher resolution than an image on a website.
You do not need previous design experience to develop packaging that represents your brand. Our team can start with a logo alone, establish the structure and create expertly designed artwork ready for print in collaboration with you, explaining each technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures consistency each time you make a repeat order.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team treats it as a routine artwork requirement, exactly like any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Caia Park’s industries
Cuisine and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is manufactured within controlled, traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers undertake prior to approving products for listing.
Drinks and distilleries
Throughout Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has emerged over the last twenty years, stretching from Brecon Beacons distilleries to newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while remaining 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.
Skincare products and skincare essentials
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts whilst presenting well on shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and recurring tags
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, making a consistent finish just as important as the initial design.
Packaging designed to match your product’s precise dimensions holds items securely during transit, lowering damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from shifting in transit, while keeping the print visible as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand placing repeat orders each month, keeping consistent box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an ever more significant factor as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Dispatching to Caia Park from our Scotland
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Caia Park included as standard.
Most orders arrive at a Caia Park address within two to three weeks after proof approval, keeping to the same timetable as our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer that has been producing print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team making boxes on its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample prior to full production starts. Reorders retain the same artwork, so scaling up never requires again.
Using one box company for packaging across your whole product range makes everything straightforward.
You have a single invoice and one contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging as typical
Each box we make is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, whilst an audited supply chain tracks every sheet back 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 allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
There is no minimum purchase for Caia Park organisations.
Across the industry, custom packaging frequently necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, forcing you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Smaller businesses can begin with one sample, place a limited trial run, or move to full production once demand is confirmed, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
You always get a written quotation before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those provided for ten thousand.
Prior to purchasing in bulk, ask for a printed sample and examine its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.
Steps on how to purchase custom packaging

Production and delivery. Your order is printed and completed in Irvine prior to being delivered to your Caia Park address, generally within two to three weeks.
Bespoke packaging Caia Park Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer bespoke packaging to Caia Park?
Yes! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK as standard, including every part of Caia Park and throughout Wales, with no additional fee simply because you are farther from the factory.
What’s is the minimum packing order in Caia Park?
No minimum order is required. You can order a single box or several thousand in any format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quote issued before production starts.
What elements of the packaging can I personalise?
Each format allows you complete flexibility to change the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, making sure the resulting packaging meets your brief exactly. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the inside as well as the exterior.
May you send packing item demonstrations ahead of we submit an order?
Certainly. The sample is printed and finished to precisely the same standard as a production run, enabling you to confirm that the colours meet your brief and that the board has the correct feel before approving a bulk order.
Is the wrapping able to be recycled and biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not employ plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless food safety makes them required, while biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format permits.
Is it possible to someone submit the same layout order later?
Yes, reorders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for another season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
