Benefits of opt for bespoke packaging
A typical box leaves empty space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to keep it still.
Standard packaging with a label applied to its side may be convenient, yet it is intended for no particular audience.
Custom Pack Studio creates tailored packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Garth 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 require no minimum order for any item we make, allowing you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is determined.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product.
What custom packaging signifies
Custom packaging starts with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect what it contains.
You determine the dimensions, allowing a custom-sized box to cradle the product securely instead of allowing it rattle through the empty space of a generic size.
Each element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is customised to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Adding a logo to a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a less ambitious project than completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for just one unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits perfectly.
Wrapping formats we offer for Garth enterprises
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, each manufactured to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The ideal box design and packaging format depend on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will guide you through the choices!
Store cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a favourite in retail packaging, well suited for low-weight products like cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat upon opening, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Post and internet retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than solely on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, giving bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Present boxes, rigid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with other branded boxes give purchases made as gifts with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without them needing to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are well suited to food presents and hampers.
In premium ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Build guidance for your Garth business
Every order includes support with packaging design, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print ready files and check that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need prior design experience to develop packaging that represents your brand. Our team can start with a logo alone, define the structure and create expertly designed artwork ready for print in collaboration with you, explaining each technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and view its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains each repeat order consistent.
When your packaging requires 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 Garth’s enterprises
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, confirming our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before welcoming products onto their shelves.
Drinks and liquor producers
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to more recent gin and whisky producers farther north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transportation while retaining 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.
Makeup and skincare products
Cosmetics and skincare companies require cartons that protect delicate glass packaging and compacts whilst presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes complement premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring businesses
Retail and display packaging is key when a product is placed in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands encounter a different assessment.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box each month, which makes a uniform finish just as important as the initial design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, produced precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders each month, keeping consistent box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Shipping Garth direct from our Scottish manufacturing facility
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Garth provided as standard.
Once proof approval is confirmed, the majority of orders reach at a Garth address in two to three weeks, following the same timetable as the rest of our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a long-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team produces the boxes with its own presses.
Before full production begins, you get a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample, as reorders keep the same artwork, making expansion remarkably straightforward.
Using a sole box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
Have a single invoice and a single point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for a different week.
Ethical packaging as usual
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable since the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in place of them.
No minimum purchase for Garth businesses
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to fund stock and storage prior to determining whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement of any kind!
Small businesses may order a one sample, limited runs for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the unit price scaling according to the quantity ordered.
Prior to production starts, you will always receive a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in volume, request a printed sample to check the print, colour and fit in your hand.
