Why choose custom packs
A standard box leaves empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Conventional packaging with a sticker is simple, but it is designed for nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces tailored packaging particularly for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Dunvant and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
You can order any quantity of what we make, so inventory and storage costs remain unneeded until you have established that a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What custom packaging means
Custom packaging is designed for your product from the start, with its size and print tailored to what you are packing.
Select your dimensions and create a custom-sized box that keeps the product secure, stopping it from rattling about in the unoccupied space of a generic-sized box.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are tailored to match the packed contents and how it travels.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, requiring less work than a fully customisable design.
Customised packaging places every panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for one piece, enabling you to create a customised solution that fits precisely, without compromise.
Packing types we create for Dunvant enterprises
We make a full range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork!
Choosing the suitable box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Retail packages and company packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging mainstay, intended for lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and online retail parcels
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and increasing visibility as it is printed inside and out, not solely across the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, giving bulkier items space to sit securely without moving.
Gift boxes, rigid boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes give products purchased as gifts with the polished presentation customers anticipate, removing the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, supplied with a handle that folds upwards, make an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For high-end 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 finishes can enhance further the result.
Create guidance for your Dunvant brand
Each order provides packaging design support, 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 colours are reproduced accurately on board, because packaging requires higher resolution than a website image.
You don’t need design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it reaches print, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order remains consistent.
When you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team regards it as a routine artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for Dunvant’s businesses
Cuisine and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is made 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 prior to listing products.
Tipples and spirit producers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has built up a thriving drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while staying eye-catching on the shelf, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and grooming
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts whilst looking presentable on shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Online commerce and membership brands
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a different challenge.
Because the same customer opens an almost identical box monthly, maintaining a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, holds items safe during transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
A bespoke insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print remains visible straight away when the box opens.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an increasingly important factor as volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Sending to Dunvant from our Scotland facility
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Dunvant.
After proof approval is confirmed, the majority of orders arrive at a Dunvant address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, meaning an long-standing team creates the boxes using its own presses.
You approve a proof and, where needed by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders keep the original artwork, meaning larger quantities require no new preparation.
Working with one box company for packaging throughout your entire product line makes everything simple.
You get one invoice and liaise with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Renewable packaging as the norm
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easily recyclable, and both create disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
Without a minimum order for Dunvant enterprises
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before determining whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all.
Small businesses can start with one sample, place a limited trial run, or move to full production once demand is proven, while unit pricing scales across every quantity in between.
You always get a written quotation before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are identical to those provided for ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in volume, ask for a printed sample and examine its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Each format allows changes to size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can also be printed on both the interior and outside.

Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly replicate a production run, enabling you to verify that its colours satisfy your brief and that the board feels appropriate prior to approving a bulk order.
Could the packaging suitable for recycling and can it break down naturally?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format permits.
Is it possible to one place the exact Dunvant design purchase in the future?
Yes, reorders use the original artwork file, so increasing an order or placing it again for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the ground up.
