Reasons select bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves empty space around the product, letting it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is placed to stop movement.
Conventional packaging with a sticker on the side is the simplest approach, but it caters to no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio creates tailored packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We create custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Carmarthen and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door!
We do not require a minimum order for anything we produce, therefore stock and storage expenses remain unnecessary until you know a product will sell.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What bespoke packaging involves
Custom packaging shapes the box around your product from the beginning, with its dimensions and print customised to what you are packing.
By choosing the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box secures the product securely, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Each element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, needing less work than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single run, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly without any compromise.
Packing types we offer for Carmarthen organisations
We produce a full range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the correct box style and packaging type depends on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging specialists will take you through the available options.
Shop cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a common retail packaging choice, suited to lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, featuring closure flaps folding into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a type of lock box, offering a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and web store packages
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility by printing on the inside as well as the outside, rather than just the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, allowing bulkier items room to sit securely.
Gift boxes, rigid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide presents with refined presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are suitable for food gifts as well as hampers.
For high-end ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) rather than standard carton stock, whereas finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the result.
Develop support for your Carmarthen brand
Every order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has advanced.
After your logo and brand guidelines are established, our design experts create files suitable for print and ensure colours remain true on board, where packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only just a logo. Working together, they determine the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, detailing each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our web-based tool lets you customise a box and view its look and feel on screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping every repeat order uniform.
When you require packaging printed bilingually in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in exactly the same manner as any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for the Carmarthen’s industries
Meals and libations
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before stocking products onto their shelves.
Refreshments and distilling
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers further north.
Bottle presentation boxes have to survive transit and look smart on the shelf as well! Finishes including foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and personal care products for Carmarthen
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, whilst creating an appealing presentation on retail shelves.
We create cosmetics packaging using soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range appear worthy of its higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring brands
Packaging designed for retail display is important when a product is located in a store or marketplace fulfilment centre, yet subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Because the same customer opens an almost identical box every month, preserving a consistent finish is equally important as the original design.
Efficient online retail packaging, made to correspond to your product packaging exactly, keeps goods secure in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, while making sure the print is immediately visible when the box is opened.
When a subscription brand reorders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an ever more important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Supplying to Carmarthen from our Scotland workshop
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Carmarthen.
The majority of orders arrive at a Carmarthen address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, which means an established team makes the boxes using its own presses.
You get a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Repeat orders use the same artwork, allowing you to scale up without starting the process from the beginning.
Choosing one box company for packaging across your entire product range maintains simplicity.
It all passes through one invoice and one point of contact, sparing you the frustration of chasing several suppliers quoting varying prices for separate weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging by default setting
Every box we make is fully recyclable, with that recyclability inherent in the board itself.
Our board and paper originate 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 throughout our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
There is no minimum buy for Carmarthen businesses
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently calls for minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to pay for stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all.
Small businesses may order one 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 quote. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, obtain a printed sample to assess its print, colour and its fit in your hand.
