Reasons go for bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves space around the product, enabling it to rattle in transit until someone packs the gaps with paper or foam to keep it in place.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be simple, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging tailored to your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Church Village and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly 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 tailor the recommendation to the product.
What custom packaging entails
Custom packaging starts with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect its contents.
Select the dimensions, allowing a custom-sized box to hold the product securely without avoidable movement created by a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Printing a logo onto a stock box constitutes personalised packaging, a less extensive undertaking than entirely customisable design.
With tailored packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for a single unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Packing formats we produce for Church Village organisations
We manufacture a comprehensive range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will take you through the options available.
Store cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging option, suited to lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, featuring closure flaps that fold into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger form of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Posting and digital shop parcels
A bespoke mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network and turns delivery into part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than exclusively across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, creating extra depth to keep bigger items securely in place.
Present containers, sturdy containers and roofed cartons
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products purchased as gifts with the refined presentation customers expect, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are great for food presents and hampers!
For premium ranges, 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.
Build support for your Church Village company.
Each order comes with packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts create files ready for print and make sure colours remain true on board, where packaging demands greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision along the way.
Our web-based tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it reaches print, while Pantone colour matching ensures every repeat order stays consistent.
If you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team considers it a standard artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Church Village’s sectors
Food and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that food packaging is produced within controlled and traceable processes, satisfying the checks retailers conduct prior to approving products for listing.
Beverages and spirit makers
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a genuine drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers further north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transportation while retaining 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.
Cosmetics and beauty products
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst presenting well on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes pair with premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and subscription companies
Packaging created for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, but, subscription brands experience a particular challenge.
Each month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, making a uniform finish just as important as the initial design.
Efficient online retail packaging, made to correspond to your product packaging exactly, keeps goods protected in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye the moment the box opens.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Sending to Church Village from our Scotland studio
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Church Village provided as standard.
Once proof approval is secured, most orders arrive at a Church Village address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer printing and producing print and packaging since 1997. Its seasoned team makes the boxes on its own presses!
You get a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, allowing you to scale up without restarting the process again.
Employing a single box company for packaging across your full product range simplifies the process.
You have one invoice and a single contact, avoiding the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Green packaging as standard
Each box we produce is fully recyclable, because of the board it is made from.
Our board and paper begin with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while every sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill as neither is readily recyclable, while both present disposal challenges after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised instead.
Zero minimum purchase requirement for Church Village firms
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before establishing whether a product will sell.
We require no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may order a single sample, limited runs for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the unit price varying according to the quantity ordered.
Prior to production begins, you will always receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, get a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
