Why go with tailor-made packing materials
A regular box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Standard packaging bearing an attached sticker is the simplest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Flint and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order on anything we make, so you avoid stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation precisely to the product in question.
What bespoke packaging signifies
Custom packaging starts with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect what it contains.
Select the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to secure the product securely without unnecessary movement created by a standard size.
Every element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is customised to the contents and the way they are transported.
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a fully customisable design.
Tailored packaging puts every panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, allowing you to create a customised solution that fits perfectly, with no compromise.
Wrapping formats we produce for Flint businesses
We manufacture a full range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The best-suited box style and packaging format depend on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will guide you through the options!
Retail packages and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, designed 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 more robust type of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and digital shop parcels
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Gift boxes, sturdy cartons and pitched containers
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give presents a refined presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles suit food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) rather than standard carton stock, whereas finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the result.
Create guidance for your Flint brand
We offer packaging design support with each order, regardless of your artwork’s current stage.
Have a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts create print ready files, verifying that colours stay accurate on board because packaging requires higher resolution than a website image.
Prior design experience is not required to produce packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with nothing more than a logo, creating the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork alongside you, while explaining each technical decision in clear terms as it arises.
Our web-based tool lets 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 you need packaging printed bilingually in English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, handled in exactly the same manner as any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Flint’s sectors
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef have Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas all food packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured on either side of the border.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is made in controlled and traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Drinks and distillation
Over the last two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers throughout the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transport while preserving their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare products and grooming products for Flint
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst presenting well on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes are suited to premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
Internet commerce and recurring businesses
Retail ready and display packaging serves a purpose when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands encounter an entirely different challenge.
As the same customer opens an nearly identical box every month, maintaining a consistent finish is 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 stops the product shifting during transit, whilst keeping the print visible as soon as the box is opened.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Shipping to Flint from our Scotland studio
All products are manufactured within our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Flint.
After proof approval is obtained, the majority of orders arrive at a Flint address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where an experienced team produces boxes using its own presses.
You sign off on a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders keep the original artwork, ensuring larger quantities require no new preparation.
Employing a one box company for packaging throughout your entire product range streamlines the process.
You receive one invoice and liaise with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging as routine
Each box we make is 100% recyclable since the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easily recyclable, and both cause disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised instead.
There is no minimum order quantity for Flint firms
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often calls for minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to pay for stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses can choose a one sample, a brief trial run, or a full production run after demand is proven, with per-unit pricing scaling across every quantity in between.
You always receive a written quotation before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for ten thousand.
Before ordering in bulk, request a printed sample to check the print, colour and fit in your hand.
Methods to submit a bespoke packaging order
Share your brief by calling 01294 314 919 or using the online design tool, then tell us the product, quantity and roughly how it is sold.
Design and proof. We develop packaging designed for your product, produce the print layout, and provide a proof for you to review.
Request and approve a sample. If the format requires one, order a physical sample, then sign off when you are happy with the colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine before being delivered to your Flint address, normally within two to three weeks.
Personalised packaging Flint Q&A
Can you provide personalised packaging to Flint?
Certainly. We make every item in Irvine, with standard delivery available across the UK, including every part of Flint and Wales, with no an extra charge for greater distance from the factory.
What the minimum order for packaging with Flint?
There is no minimum order! Choose a single box or several thousand in any format, with prices adjusted according to quantity in a written quotation before production begins.
Which packing elements can I tailor?
Each aspect of the format, including size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, so that the packaging matches exactly your brief. Branded packaging may also be printed internally and externally.
May I be sent samples of your packing products before confirming 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 suitable before approving a larger order.
Is the packaging suitable for recycling and biodegradable?
Each box is fully recyclable. We steer clear of plastic laminates that prevent recycling, unless food safety makes them essential, while biodegradable protective materials are provided wherever the format allows.
Is it possible to someone use the same layout again?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or placing it again for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
