Why select go for bespoke packaging
A regular box creates unfilled space around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with an adhesive label is easy, but it is intended for nobody in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Cockett and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce requires a minimum order, enabling you to set stock and storage costs aside until a product has shown that it sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to suit the product perfectly.
What tailored packaging involves
Custom packaging forms 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 holds the product securely, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Each element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is customised to the contents and the way they are transported.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, representing a more modest undertaking than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, you are able to change every panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, creating packaging that fits with no compromise.
Package options we craft for Cockett businesses
We make a full range of packaging boxes, each manufactured to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will guide you through the available options.
Store cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging option, suited to lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, featuring closure flaps that fold into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, formed from cardboard and featuring a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Delivery and internet shopping boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and improving visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, allowing bulkier items space to rest securely.
Present boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products bought as presents the polished presentation customers expect, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit 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, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the result.
Build guidance for your Cockett label
Each order includes support with packaging design, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print ready files and confirm that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging requires higher resolution than a web image.
You do not need any previous design experience to create packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with only a logo. Working together, you will determine the structure and produce professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain every technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency each time you make a repeat order.
If packaging is needed in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it precisely as it would any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Cockett’s industries
Food and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging which comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is produced on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Refreshments and distillation venues
During the last two decades, Wales has built a real drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers across the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while staying eye-catching on the shelf, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing adding much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and aesthetics
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that protect delicate glass packaging and compacts whilst presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging incorporating soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement a premium range that needs to support a higher price point.
Online commerce and recurring companies
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, which makes a uniform finish just as important as the initial design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, produced precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure during transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the print remains visible as soon as the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that places monthly reorders, using consistent box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly valuable benefit once volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Shipping to Cockett from our Scottish studio
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Cockett.
The majority of orders arrive at a Cockett address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer that has produced print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team producing boxes on its own presses.
You check a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders retain the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Using a single box company for packaging across your whole product range maintains simplicity.
You receive one invoice and work through a sole point of contact, rather than chasing several suppliers, each quoting different prices for separate weeks.
Ethical packaging by default
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable because its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traceable via an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Without a minimum order for Cockett companies
Throughout a large part of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to finance stock and storage before ascertaining whether the product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement whatsoever!
Small businesses can order one sample, a limited trial run, or a complete production batch once they have proved demand, with per unit pricing adjusted for every order quantity throughout the range.
Before production begins, you will invariably receive a written quotation, whereas 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 volume, request a printed sample and examine its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
Steps on how to order bespoke wrapping
Send your brief! Call 01294 314 919 or use the online design tool, then tell us the product, quantity and roughly how it is sold.
Design and print proofing. We design packaging that fits your product, produce the print layout, and supply a proof for your approval.
Ask for a tangible sample where the format calls for one, then give approval once you are happy with its colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine before making its way to your Cockett address, generally within two to three weeks.
Personalised packaging Cockett Frequently Asked Questions
Could you produce bespoke packaging to Cockett?
Yes. We manufacture every product in Irvine, then deliver throughout the UK as standard, reaching each corner of Cockett and all of Wales without applying a separate charge because the destination lies further from our factory.
What represents the smallest packaging requirement at Cockett?
There is no minimum order requirement applies. You can ask for one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quotation provided before production commences.
What packaging elements can I tailor?
Each format gives you complete freedom to adjust the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, making sure the resulting packaging meets your brief exactly. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the inside as well as the outside.
Could I get examples of your packing materials before submitting an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to precisely reproduce a production run, enabling you to confirm that its colours satisfy your brief and that the board feels suitable before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging able to be recycled and can it be biodegradable?
Every box is completely recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling, unless food safety makes them essential, while biodegradable protective materials are offered wherever the format allows.
Could I order again the same design in the future?
Yes, repeat orders utilise the original artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or placing it again for another season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the ground up.
