For what reason go for customised packaging
A standard box has space around the item, letting it to move about during transit until somebody fills the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be straightforward, but it belongs to nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates custom-made packaging for your product, making sure that the box, print and finish complement your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Canton and the surrounding valleys, with orders spanning one sample to a complete pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We require no minimum order for anything we make, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is established.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What bespoke packaging entails
With custom packaging, your box is created around the product from day one, so its dimensions and print fit precisely what you are packing.
Choose the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without unnecessary movement caused by a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are bespoke to accommodate what is being packed and the way it travels!
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
Customised packaging puts each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for one piece, allowing you to create a bespoke solution that fits precisely, without compromise.
Packaging formats we create for Canton businesses
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, each manufactured to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging type depends on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging experts will guide you through the available options.
Store cartons and logoed packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, well suited for low-weight products such as cosmetics and supplements, featuring 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 upon opening, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not solely its outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, allowing bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Surprise boxes, robust boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products purchased as gifts the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food presents and hampers.
For premium lines, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the finished effect.
Craft backing for your Canton company
We provide packaging design support with each order, irrespective of your artwork’s current stage.
If you’ve got a logo and branding guidelines, our design experts prepare print-ready files and confirm that colours are reproduced accurately on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need experience in design to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Together, they create the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while supporting you through every technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains every repeat order consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a routine artwork requirement and manages it in the same way we would any other language or colour alteration.
Personalised packaging for Canton’s own industries
Fare and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, regardless of which side of the border it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is produced within controlled and traceable processes, satisfying the checks retailers carry out before approving products for listing.
Tipples and distilleries
Over the past twenty years, Wales has established a thriving drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and aesthetics of the Canton
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts whilst looking presentable on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes pair with premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring tags
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Each month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, rendering a uniform finish every bit as important as the original design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items safe in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, while keeping the print visible once the box is opened.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders each month, retaining identical box dimensions helps maintain pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly significant consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Transporting to Canton from our Scottish workshop
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Canton.
After proof approval is secured, most orders arrive at a Canton address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of 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 review a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production starts, while reorders retain the same artwork, meaning that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Using one box company for packaging throughout your whole product range keeps everything straightforward.
You get one invoice and work with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Eco-friendly packaging as commonplace
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet tracked via an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easily recyclable, and both cause disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in its place.
Absolutely no minimum purchase for Canton firms.
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement at all!
Small businesses can order one sample, a limited trial run, or a full production batch once they have proved demand, with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout the range.
Before production begins, you will invariably receive a written quotation, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty remain identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in bulk, request a printed sample and examine its printing, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Tailored packaging Canton FAQ
Will you provide custom packaging to Canton?
Certainly. All items are manufactured in Irvine, with standard delivery across the UK, including every part of Canton and throughout Wales. We do not charge extra for distance from the factory.
What’s the minimum order to make packaging at Canton?
No minimum order! Select one box or several thousand in any format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quote before production begins.
Which packing aspects can I tailor?
Every format allows you complete flexibility to alter the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the resulting packaging meets your brief precisely. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the inside as well as the outside.
May I request demonstrations of your wrapping products before confirming an order?
Yes. Your sample arrives printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours are in line with your brief and the board feels suitable before authorising a larger order.
Will the packaging be recyclable as well as can it turn out to be biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety demands them, while biodegradable protective materials are used whenever the format permits.
Can I place another order for the same layout in the future?
Yes, repeat orders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for another season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from scratch.
