Why opt for opt for made-to-measure packaging
A standard box leaves space around the product, enabling it to rattle in transit until someone packs the gaps with paper or foam to keep it still.
Typical packaging with a sticker attached is the straightforward option, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio creates custom-made packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Cwmbran and surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce requires a minimum order, so you can set stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will customise the recommendation to suit the product perfectly.
What personalised packaging involves
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the outset, so its size and printing reflect exactly what you are packing.
By choosing the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box holds the product firmly, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, constituting a less substantial undertaking than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single run, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely without compromise.
Packaging options we create for Cwmbran businesses
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork!
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can walk you through the available options.
Retail cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, ideal for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger form of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and online retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery part of the brand experience and improving visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of solely on the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, allowing bulkier items room to rest securely.
Keepsake boxes, rigid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the refined presentation customers anticipate, while saving them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles are ideal for food gifts and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Build backing for your Cwmbran brand
Every order comes with packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and verify that the colours stay accurate on board, because packaging needs a greater resolution than a website image.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Working together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it goes to print, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order stays consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards it as a routine artwork requirement, exactly like any other language or colour change.
Specialised packaging for Cwmbran’s businesses
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging that touches meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is produced on.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that we manufacture food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require before listing products.
Drinks and distilling sites
Over the last two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers throughout the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transportation while maintaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact required for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Cosmetics and beauty
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect delicate glass containers and compacts, while 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 membership brands
Retail and display packaging is important when a product is placed in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands encounter a different assessment.
Each month, the same customer returns to an almost identical box, making a reliable finish equally important as the original design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, tailored precisely to your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit while cutting damage claims and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
Subscription-based brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Providing Cwmbran straight from our Scotland manufacturing facility
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Cwmbran.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Cwmbran address generally arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where an experienced team creates boxes using its own presses.
You check a proof and, where 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 start again.
Employing one box company for packaging throughout your whole product range makes everything straightforward.
You have one invoice and one dedicated point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each giving a different price for a separate week.
Eco-friendly packaging as usual
Each box we manufacture is 100% recyclable because the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised instead.
There is no minimum order for Cwmbran companies
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses are able to order one sample, a limited trial run, or a full production batch after proving demand, with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout the range.
You will consistently receive a written quotation prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to the ones supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to assess its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.
