Why select opt for individually designed packaging
A standard box leaves space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until someone packs the spaces with paper or foam to keep it still.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be easy, but it belongs to no one in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, making sure 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 across Fforestfach and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of what we make, so inventory and storage expenses continue to be unnecessary until you have established that a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What custom packaging means
Custom packaging creates the box around your product from the start, so its size and printing reflect exactly what you are putting inside.
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 onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single run, allowing you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Packaging formats we offer for Fforestfach firms
We create a full range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can walk you through the available options.
Retail cartons and custom branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional 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 stronger type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when unfolded, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and ecommerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility because it is printed inside and out, not solely across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available as well with gussets, providing additional depth so bulkier items can sit securely without shifting.
Keepsake boxes, rigid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit food gifts as well as hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the result.
Build support for your Fforestfach brand
Every order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has advanced.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are established, our design experts create files suitable for print and make sure colours remain true on board, where packaging demands greater resolution than website imagery.
You don’t need design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only just a logo. Working together, they determine 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.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our staff handles this as a standard artwork request, just as we would manage any other language or colour amendment.
Personalised packaging for the Fforestfach’s industries
Meals and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while food packaging in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is produced on both sides of the border.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is produced within controlled and traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers conduct before approving products for listing.
Drinks and liquor producers
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a flourishing drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transport while preserving their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and appearance
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass containers and compacts, while creating an attractive display on retail shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring companies
Retail ready and display packaging serves a purpose when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands face an completely different challenge.
Each month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, rendering a uniform finish every bit as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, created precisely to fit your product packaging, maintains items secure during transit and reduces claims for damage and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye the moment the box opens.
When a subscription brand reorders each month, maintaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an ever more important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering Fforestfach right from our Scottish factory
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Fforestfach.
After proof approval, most orders arrive at a Fforestfach address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule across 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 makes the boxes with its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never requires again.
Employing a sole box company for packaging throughout your entire product range keeps the process straightforward.
You have one invoice and a single contact, avoiding the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging by default
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable as the board itself makes possible that recyclability.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain traces each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are minimising single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both cause disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
There is no minimum purchase for Fforestfach 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 establishing whether a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can choose 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 always receive a written quote before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for fifty are identical to those supplied for ten thousand.
Prior to placing a bigger order, ask for a printed sample to evaluate the print, colour and how comfortably it sits into your hand.

Can you supply samples of your parcel items before I place an order?
