For what reason opt for personalised packaging
A regular box leaves spare space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Typical packaging with a sticker attached is the simple option, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Creigiau and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door!
Nothing we produce requires a minimum order, so you can set stock and storage costs aside until a product has shown that it sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging entails
Custom packaging begins with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect what it contains.
Choose the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to secure the product firmly without unnecessary movement created by a standard size.
Every element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Adding a logo to a stock box creates personalised packaging, providing a less ambitious project than fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you are able to alter each panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, producing packaging that fits without compromise.
Packing formats we provide for Creigiau firms
We manufacture a full range of packaging boxes, tailored to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will take you through the available options.
Shop cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, ideal for low-weight products like cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold inwards at 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, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Parcel and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of solely on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available as well with gussets, creating extra depth so bulkier items can sit securely without moving.
Present boxes, durable boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes give products purchased as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, whilst sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, complete with a handle that folds upwards, are an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, that is, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than conventional carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can enhance further the result.
Design backing for your Creigiau brand
We provide packaging design support with each order, regardless of your artwork’s current stage.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are established, our design experts create files ready for print and ensure colours stay true on board, where packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
Previous design experience is not necessary to create packaging that reflects your brand. We can start with no more than a logo, creating the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork with you, while clarifying each technical decision clearly as it arises.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is available too, helping every repeat order stay consistent.
When you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team treats it as a routine artwork requirement, exactly like any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for Creigiau’s industries
Cuisine and refreshments
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 hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is manufactured in controlled and traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Beverages and liquor producers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks scene, covering Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while retaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and personal care products for Creigiau
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts whilst presenting well on shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
E-commerce and recurring businesses
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products are held in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, whereas subscription brands face a different challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, which makes a consistent finish just as important as the initial design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, precisely tailored to your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit while reducing damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the print stays in view as soon as the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders monthly, retaining identical box dimensions helps keep pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Sending to Creigiau from our Scotland workroom
All items are produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Creigiau supplied as standard.
The majority of orders arrive at a Creigiau address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team creates the boxes on its own presses!
Prior to the start of full production, you get a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample, while reorders keep the same artwork, making expansion remarkably straightforward.
Using one box company for packaging across your entire product range maintains simplicity.
You have a single invoice and one contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging by default setting
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable as the board itself enables that recyclability.
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.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties after a parcel is opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
Zero minimum order for Creigiau companies.
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before finding out if your product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Smaller businesses may place an order for a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run after demand has been established, with the per unit price adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
You always receive a written quote before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for ten thousand.
Before committing to a larger quantity, get a printed sample and assess the print, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Tailored packaging Creigiau FAQ
Do you offer custom packaging to Creigiau?
Yes! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK by default, including every part of Creigiau and across Wales, with no extra fee simply because you are farther from the factory.
How many could be the lowest packing threshold for Creigiau?
There is no minimum order. Whether you need one box or several thousand in any format, you will be provided with quantity based pricing through a written quote before production begins.
Which parts of the packaging can I tailor?
Each format gives you complete flexibility to alter the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the resulting packaging matches your brief precisely. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the interior as well as the exterior.
Could I be sent samples of your packaging products before buying?
Absolutely! Your sample is delivered printed and finished precisely as it would be in production, enabling you to verify the colours satisfy your brief and make sure the board feels right before authorising a bulk order.
Is the packaging suitable for recycling and can it biodegrade?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format allows.
May someone make the same layout order at a later time?
Absolutely! Reorders utilise the original artwork file, which means you can increase an order or repeat it for a new season without redesigning the packaging from scratch.
