Why choose tailored packaging?
A conventional box creates room around the product, making it rattle during transit until foam or paper is packed in to stop movement.
Typical packaging with a sticker attached is the simple option, but it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging expressly for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Cyncoed and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for anything we make, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is established.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What tailored packaging indicates
Custom packaging shapes the box around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without movement resulting from excess space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also custom designed, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, offering a less ambitious project than fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for one item, allowing you to create packaging that fits precisely and without compromise.
Packaging types we create for Cyncoed organisations
We supply an extensive range of packaging boxes, manufactured to custom dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the correct box style and packaging type hinges on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging experts will take you through the available options.
Shop cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging format for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a type of lock box, offering a stronger cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility through printing on both the inside and outside, not merely the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available as well with gussets, creating additional depth so bulkier items can rest securely without moving.
Present packages, rigid packages and pitched-roof packages
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging provide presents with the presentation customers expect, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can further enhance the finish.
Build support for your Cyncoed enterprise
Each order provides packaging design support, regardless 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 colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging requires higher resolution than a web image.
Previous design experience is not required to create packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can begin with no more than a logo, developing the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork with you, while explaining each technical decision in clear terms as it arises.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and view its look before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains every repeat order consistent.
When you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team considers it a routine artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for the Cyncoed’s industries
Nourishment and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions reviewed by retailers prior to welcoming products onto their shelves.
Drinks and spirit-making locations
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transport while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering a great deal of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and beauty
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while looking good on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and membership brands
Retail and display packaging is significant when a product is positioned in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands encounter a different assessment.
Each month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, rendering a uniform finish every bit as important as the original design.
High-grade e-commerce packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, holds items safe during transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from shifting during transit, while keeping the print visible as soon as the box is opened.
When a subscription brand reorders monthly, retaining uniform box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Sending to Cyncoed from our Scottish plant
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Cyncoed supplied as standard.
After your proof is accepted, most orders arrive at a Cyncoed address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timescale for our packaging across 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 using its own presses!
You receive a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product line makes everything uncomplicated.
Enjoy one invoice and one point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each offering a different price for a different week.
Green packaging as expected
Each box we make is 100% recyclable because the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper are procured from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traceable via an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
Across our processes, we are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is easily recyclable, while both pose disposal challenges once a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are employed in their place.
Absolutely no minimum buy for Cyncoed firms
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.
We require no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may order a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run after demand has been established, with the price per unit adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
You always get a written quote before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those provided for ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, obtain a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and its fit in your hand.
Methods to request tailor-made packaging
Share your brief by calling 01294 314 919 or via the online design tool, then let us know the product, quantity, and roughly how it is sold.
Design and proofing. We develop packaging design suited to your product, prepare the print layout, then supply a proof for your approval.
Ask for and approve a sample. If the format requires one, order a physical sample, then sign off when you are satisfied with the colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and completed in Irvine before being delivered to your Cyncoed address, typically within two to three weeks.
Custom packaging Cyncoed Common Questions
Could you provide custom packaging to Cyncoed?
Yes. We produce each product in Irvine, and then deliver throughout the UK as part of our standard service, extending to each corner of Cyncoed and all of Wales without adding a additional fee because the destination is further away from our factory.
How much represents the bare minimum packaging requirement for Cyncoed?
There is no minimum order! Select one box or several thousand in any format, with prices calculated according to quantity in a written quotation before production begins.
Which parts of the packaging can I personalise?
Each aspect of the format, including size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, ensuring that the packaging matches exactly your brief. Branded packaging may also be printed internally and externally.
Can you give demonstrations of your parcel goods before I place an order?
Yes. Your sample arrives printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before authorising a larger order.
Is the packaging recyclable and can it be biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are offered where the format permits.
May someone submit the same design order once more?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so expanding an order or placing it again for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
