Purposes pick bespoke packaging
A conventional box provides room around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Typical packaging with a sticker affixed is the simple choice, but it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio creates customised packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Caldicot and the nearby valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order on anything we make, meaning you avoid stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What tailor-made packaging implies
Custom packaging is designed around your product from the start, with its size and print adapted to what you are packing.
You determine the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to cradle the product securely rather than letting it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also custom designed, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Adding a logo to a stock box produces personalised packaging, providing a less ambitious project than completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for one run, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Packing types we make for Caldicot organisations
We manufacture a complete range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the correct box style and packaging type depends on your product and the way it is handled. Our packaging experts will take you through the available options.
Shop containers and company packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a familiar retail packaging option for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat upon opening, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Postal and ecommerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, creating extra depth so bulkier items can rest securely without shifting.
Gift containers, solid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give gifts with the presentation customers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, with a handle which folds up, are particularly suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the finished effect.
Develop support for your Caldicot business
We provide packaging design support with each order, irrespective of your artwork’s current stage.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and verify that the colours remain accurate on board, as packaging needs a higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need previous design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Starting with nothing more than a logo, our team develops the structure and creates professionally designed, print-ready artwork alongside you, clarifying each technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and preview its look before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains each repeat order consistent.
If you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team treats it as a standard artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Caldicot’s sectors
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border 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.
Beverages and distillation
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks scene, covering Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transportation while maintaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact needed for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Toiletries and beauty products for Caldicot
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect delicate glass and compacts while looking beautifully on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
Online shopping and recurring labels
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Each month, the same customer revisits an nearly identical box, making a dependable finish equally important as the original design.
Packaging created to match your product’s exact dimensions holds items securely during transit, reducing damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transport, while confirming the print is straight away visible when the box is opened.
Subscription-based brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining one box size. This becomes increasingly important when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Shipping to Caldicot from our Scottish facility
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Caldicot included as standard.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Caldicot address typically arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team produces the boxes with its own presses.
You will check a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means beginning from scratch!
Using a single box company for packaging across your whole product range simplifies the process.
Have one invoice and one point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each offering a different price for another week.
Planet-friendly packaging by default setting
Every box we make is entirely recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track each 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 can be readily recycled, and both create difficulties with disposal once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are employed in their place.
Zero minimum buy for Caldicot companies.
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to fund stock and storage before establishing whether the product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement .
Small businesses are able to order a single sample, a restricted trial run, or a complete production batch after proving demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for every order quantity throughout the range.
You will always receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to the ones supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a larger order, ask for a printed sample to evaluate the print, colour and how comfortably it sits in your hand.

Custom packaging Caldicot Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer tailored packaging shipment to Caldicot?
Yes. All items are made in Irvine, with standard delivery across the UK, including every part of Caldicot and throughout Wales. We make no extra charge for distance from the factory.
What’s is the minimum packing order in Caldicot?
No minimum order applies. Whether you require one box or several thousand in any format, you will be provided with quantity based pricing via a written quote before production starts.
Which packaging elements can I modify?
Size, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be changed for each format, making sure the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can additionally include printing on both the interior and outside.
Can you kindly send examples of your wrapping products before I place an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly replicate a production run, allowing you to confirm that its colours satisfy your brief and that the board feels appropriate before approving a bulk order.
Might the packaging turn out to be recyclable in addition to that can it also be biodegradable?
Every packaging box is completely recyclable. We omit plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are made available when the format allows.
May I make the exact Caldicot design purchase in the future?
Yes, reorders are made from the same artwork file, so expanding an order or placing it again for a new season never requires the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
