For what reason pick bespoke packaging
A typical box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gaps with foam or paper to keep it in place.
Standard packaging with a sticker on the side is the easiest route, but it caters to no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging for your product, ensuring that the box, print and finish complement your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Dinas Powys and the nearby valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order requirement for anything we produce, enabling you to avoid storage and stock costs until a product’s sales potential is established.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What custom packaging means
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the start, with its dimensions and print customised to what you are packing.
Choose your measurements and make a made-to-measure box that keeps the product snug, preventing it from rattling around in the unused space of a standard-sized box.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to accommodate what is being packed and the way it travels!
Adding a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, but it is a smaller project than a completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for one run, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely without compromise.
Packaging formats we produce for Dinas Powys businesses
We offer an extensive range of packaging boxes, made to custom dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the most suitable box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will explain clearly.
Retail cartons and logo packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging mainstay, intended for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps which tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Postal and electronic commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not solely its outer face.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, providing extra depth so bulkier items can rest securely without shifting.
Gift containers, sturdy containers and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, while saving them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock, while finishes including foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Create guidance for your Dinas Powys label
Each order includes 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 check that colours remain accurate on board, as packaging needs greater resolution than an image on a website.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Together, they create the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while supporting you through every technical decision along the way.
Our online tool lets you customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping every repeat order uniform.
When you require packaging printed bilingually in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, handled in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Dinas Powys’s own industries
Meals and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging that touches meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers assess before listing a product.
Beverages and liquor producers
Throughout Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has developed over the last twenty years, stretching from Brecon Beacons distilleries to more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and self-care products for Dinas Powys
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect fragile glass and compacts while looking elegantly on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and recurring companies
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Each month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, rendering a uniform finish just as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, created precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A purpose-made insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print stays immediately visible when the box opens.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders monthly, keeping consistent box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Shipping to Dinas Powys from our Scotland workshop
All items are produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Dinas Powys provided as standard.
Following proof approval, the majority of orders reach a Dinas Powys address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer printing and producing print and packaging since 1997. Its seasoned team makes the boxes on its own presses!
You sign off on a proof and, where needed by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders keep the original artwork, ensuring larger quantities require no fresh preparation.
Employing a sole box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
You get one invoice and deal with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Green packaging as the norm
Each box we make is 100% recyclable because the board itself makes possible that recyclability.
We obtain our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet tracked through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes, as neither material is easy to recycle and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are used instead of them.
No minimum buy for Dinas Powys firms
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Smaller businesses can opt for a single sample, a short trial run, or a complete production run after demand is proven, with per-unit pricing scaling across each quantity in between.
You will always receive a written quotation prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to making a bigger order, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it fits in your hand.
