Reasons choose bespoke packaging
A conventional box leaves unfilled space around the product, enabling it to move noisily during transit until foam or paper is placed to stop movement.
Basic packaging bearing an attached sticker is the simplest option, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We make bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Chepstow and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from a single sample to a full pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order for anything we produce, therefore stock and storage costs are unnecessary until you know a product is going to sell.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What tailored packaging means
Custom packaging starts with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
Select your measurements and create a custom-sized box that keeps the product secure, stopping it from rattling about in the unoccupied space of a standard-sized box.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and the way it travels.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, representing a more modest undertaking than a fully customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Packaging types we offer for Chepstow businesses
We supply an wide range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the most suitable box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging experts will clearly explain.
Commercial cartons and custom packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a standard for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Postal and ecommerce boxes
A bespoke mailer box protects your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility through printing on both the inside and outside, not merely the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items room to rest securely without shifting.
Present containers, sturdy boxes and pitched containers
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts with the refined presentation customers anticipate, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Finishes including foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Design guidance for your Chepstow enterprise.
Every order includes packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are established, our design experts create files ready for print and make sure colours stay true on board, where packaging demands higher resolution than website imagery.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Working together, they determine the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing starts. Pantone colour matching is available too, helping each repeat order remain consistent.
When you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team considers it a usual artwork requirement, exactly like any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for the Chepstow’s industries
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact requirements, regardless of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in carefully controlled, traceable conditions that retailers evaluate before listing a product.
Drinks and alcohol producers
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a flourishing drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare products and make-up items
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, whilst creating an attractive presentation on retail shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes are suited to premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
Internet commerce and subscription brands
Retail ready and display packaging plays its part when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Every month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, making a uniform finish every bit as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, maintains items secure during transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, as the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
When a subscription brand reorders each month, retaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an ever more important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Chepstow from our Scotland atelier
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with delivery across the UK to businesses in Chepstow provided as standard.
Once your proof is accepted, most orders are delivered to a Chepstow address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timescale for our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff produces the boxes using its own presses.
You examine a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production begins, while reorders retain the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Using a sole box company for packaging throughout your entire product range makes the process simple.
You receive one invoice and deal with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Sustainable packaging as common practice
Every box we manufacture is 100% recyclable because its board is able to be recycled.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill as neither is easily recyclable, while both pose disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are employed instead of them.
Absolutely no minimum purchase for Chepstow companies
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses are able to order one sample, a limited trial run, or a complete production batch after proving demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout the range.
Before production begins, you will invariably receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty remain identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in volume, ask for a printed sample to inspect the print, colour and fit in your hand.

Personalised packaging Chepstow Q&A
Do you offer customised packaging to Chepstow?
Certainly. Everything is made in Irvine, with standard delivery across the UK, including every part of Chepstow and throughout Wales. We do not charge extra for distance from the factory.
Which should be the least packing quantity for Chepstow?
There is no minimum order. We can produce a single box or thousands in any format, with quantity-based pricing confirmed in a written quotation before manufacture begins.
Which wrapping components can I personalise?
Every aspect of the format, including size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, ensuring that the packaging matches exactly your brief. Branded packaging may additionally be printed internally and externally.
Can you kindly send examples of your packaging solutions products before I choose to place an order?
Yes. Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before authorising a larger order.
Is the packaging recyclable and can it be biodegradable?
All packaging boxes are completely recyclable. We omit plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are made available when the format allows.
May I submit the same graphic order again?
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 the beginning.
