Why select personalised packing materials
A regular box has room around the item, allowing it to move about during transport until someone fills the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Conventional packaging with a label affixed to its side may be convenient, yet it is intended for no particular audience.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We create custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Ebbw Vale and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door!
We impose no minimum order on anything we produce, meaning you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What personalised packaging covers
Custom packaging creates the box around your product from the start, meaning that its size and printing correspond exactly to what you are putting inside.
You select the dimensions, so that a custom-sized box holds the product securely rather than letting it rattle within surplus space created by a generic size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, representing a more modest undertaking than a completely customisable design.
Customised packaging puts every panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, enabling you to create a customised solution that fits perfectly, with no compromise.
Packaging styles we produce for Ebbw Vale firms
We produce a full range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork!
Selecting the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will take you through the options available.
Shop containers and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, intended for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a type of lock box, providing a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and digital commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility as it is printed on the inside and outside, not only across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely.
Present boxes, robust boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and additional branded boxes give purchases made as gifts with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food presents 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.
Craft assistance for your Ebbw Vale brand.
Every order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of the stage your artwork has reached.
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 higher resolution than a website image.
Prior design experience is not required to create packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with nothing more than a logo, creating the structure and expertly designed, ready to print artwork alongside you, while explaining each technical decision in clear terms as it arises.
Our web-based tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it goes to print, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order remains consistent.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our team handles this as a routine artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Custom packaging for Ebbw Vale’s businesses
Nourishment and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging which comes into contact with meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is produced on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions reviewed by retailers before welcoming products onto their shelves.
Beverages and spirit producers
During the last twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while maintaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact needed for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Beauty products and grooming
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts whilst looking presentable on shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes complement premium ranges intended to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and membership businesses
Retail ready and display packaging plays its part when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands encounter an entirely different challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box each month, making a uniform finish as important as the initial design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, tailored precisely to your product packaging, secures items in transit while cutting damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from moving during transport, while confirming the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription-based brand that reorders each month, maintaining identical box dimensions helps maintain pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Supplying to Ebbw Vale from our Scottish atelier
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Ebbw Vale included as standard.
The majority of orders reach a Ebbw Vale address within two to three weeks after proof approval, following the same schedule as our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an well-established packaging manufacturer that has produced print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team producing boxes on its own presses.
You check a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production starts, while reorders use the same artwork, meaning that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Using a single box company for your entire product range makes packaging.
You have a single 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 the default
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable because the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traceable via an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties after a parcel is opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
Not any minimum order for Ebbw Vale businesses
Across the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Small businesses may order one sample, a limited run for testing, or a complete production run after demand has been established, with the price per unit adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
You receive a written quotation before production starts, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in bulk, ask for a printed sample to inspect the print, colour and fit in your hand.

Certainly. We manufacture all items in Irvine and provide standard delivery across the UK, covering every part of Ebbw Vale and all of Wales, without charging a separate fee for locations more distant from the factory.
What is the lowest packaging requirement at Ebbw Vale?

Which packing elements can I personalise?
Each format gives you complete freedom to change the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the resulting packaging meets your brief precisely. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the interior as well as the exterior.
Can you please send samples of your packaging products before I place an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly reproduce a production run, allowing you to verify that its colours satisfy your brief and that the board feels suitable before approving a bulk order.
Might the packaging remain recyclable as well as can it turn out to be biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not employ plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety makes them required, while biodegradable protective materials are offered where the format permits.
