Reasons prefer bespoke packaging
A conventional box leaves empty space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is inserted to stop movement.
Basic packaging with a sticker attached is the simplest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We make custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Conwy and the surrounding valleys, with orders spanning a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the picture until you know whether a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will customise our recommendation precisely to the product concerned.
What tailored packaging entails
With custom packaging, your box is created around the product from the outset, so its dimensions and print suit exactly what you are packing.
Select your dimensions and create a made-to-measure box that keeps the product snug, stopping it from rattling about in the unused space of a generic-sized box.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are bespoke to suit what is being packed and the way it travels!
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a more modest project than fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for just one unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Wrapping options we produce for Conwy firms
We manufacture a comprehensive range of packaging boxes, each produced to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the right box style and packaging depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will take you through the available options.
Commercial containers and brand packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging format for less heavy products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and internet shopping boxes
A custom-made mailer box protects your product across the courier network and turns delivery into part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than solely across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, giving bulkier items space to sit securely.
Present boxes, rigid boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and additional branded boxes provide presents with polished presentation customers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food presents as well as hampers!
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can enhance further the finish.
Develop support for your Conwy identity
Each order includes packaging design support, regardless of the stage your artwork has reached.
After your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts prepare files ready for print and make sure colours stay true on board, where packaging demands higher resolution than website imagery.
Prior design experience is not required to produce packaging that reflects your brand. We can start with no more than a logo, developing the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork alongside you, while clarifying each technical decision in clear terms as it comes up.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and preview its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains every repeat order consistent.
Need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our team manages it as a routine artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Conwy’s specialised industries
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all packaging that comes into 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 confirms that food packaging is manufactured within controlled, traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers carry out before approving products for listing.
Drinks and spirit-makers
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 need to survive transit and look smart on the shelf as well! Finishes including foil stamping and embossing deliver much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and grooming of the Conwy
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst presenting well on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range appear worthy of its higher price.
Internet commerce and subscription companies
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter an entirely different challenge.
Each month, the same customer returns to an almost identical box, rendering a dependable finish just as important as the original design.
Effective online retail packaging, produced to correspond to your product packaging exactly, keeps goods secure in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A tailored insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, while ensuring the print remains immediately visible when the box opens.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders each month, maintaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an increasingly important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Bringing to Conwy from our Scottish facility
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with UK delivery to businesses in Conwy included by default.
After proof approval is secured, most orders reach at a Conwy address in 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 producing print and packaging since 1997. Its seasoned team makes the boxes on its own presses!
You receive a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample prior to full production starts. Reorders retain the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Using a sole box company for packaging across your entire product range keeps the process straightforward.
Have one invoice and a single point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for a different week.
Green packaging as the norm
Each box we produce is fully recyclable, with this recyclability stemming from the board itself.
We source our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet traced through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill as neither is easily recyclable, while both pose disposal challenges after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Absolutely no minimum buy for Conwy companies
Across 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.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can begin with a single sample, place a small trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is confirmed, while unit pricing scales across every quantity in between.
Prior to production starts, you will always receive a written quotation, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied 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.
The best way to order custom packaging
Share your brief by phoning 01294 314 919 or using the online design tool, then let us know the product, quantity and approximately how it is sold.
Design and proof. We create packaging suited to your product, produce the print layout, and send a proof for your review.
Request a physical sample if the format calls for one, then sign off once you are happy with the colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and completed in Irvine prior to being delivered to your Conwy address, usually within two to three weeks.
Personalised packaging Conwy FAQ
Does your business offer custom packaging shipment to Conwy?
Yes. We manufacture each product in Irvine, and then deliver throughout the UK as part of our standard service, reaching every corner of Conwy and all of Wales without levying a separate fee because the destination lies further from our factory.
What is the smallest packaging order at Conwy?
No minimum order! Select a single box or several thousand in any format, with prices adjusted according to quantity in a written quote before production begins.
Which packaging parts can I tailor?
Every aspect of the format, such as size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, so that the packaging matches exactly your brief. Branded packaging may also be printed internally and externally.
Can one get samples of your packing products before placing an order?
Yes. Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours are in line with your brief and the board feels suitable before approving a larger order.
Is the wrapping recyclable and biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety demands them, while biodegradable protective materials are utilised whenever the format permits.
May I get again the same design at a later date?
Indeed, reorders use the same artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
