Why you ought to choose individually designed packaging
A typical box leaves spare space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be easy, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish complement your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Gendros and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We require no minimum order for anything we make, allowing you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is determined.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What personalised packaging signifies
Custom packaging starts with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
By selecting the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box secures the product securely, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
The construction, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to match what is packed and how it is transported.
Printing a logo on a stock box amounts to personalised packaging, a more limited undertaking than completely customisable design.
Tailored packaging places 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.
Packing styles we produce for Gendros companies
We offer an comprehensive range of packaging boxes, made to custom dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the appropriate style of box and packaging format is dependent on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will talk you through the available choices.
Store containers and labelled 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 sturdier type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when unfolded, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Postal and internet shopping boxes
A bespoke mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while boosting visibility through printing on the inside as well as the outside, not merely the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are offered with gussets, creating extra depth to hold bigger items securely in place.
Keepsake boxes, sturdy boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the refined presentation customers anticipate, whilst sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are great for food gifts as well as hampers!
For premium ranges, we may select SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, whereas finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the outcome.
Create backing for your Gendros business
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print-ready files and check that colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need prior design experience to create packaging that represents your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo, establish the structure and create professionally designed artwork ready for print working with you, explaining each technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and view its look and feel on screen before printing. We also provide Pantone colour matching, keeping each repeat order consistent.
When you require packaging printed bilingually in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in exactly the same manner as any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Gendros’s sectors
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas packaging that contacts meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is produced in controlled and traceable conditions that retailers verify prior to listing products.
Refreshments and spirit-making establishments
During the past twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and makeup products
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts while looking presentable on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and subscription 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.
Each month, the same customer returns to an almost identical box, rendering a dependable finish equally important as the original design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging holds products safely during transit, helping prevent damage, reduce claims and limit returns.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders monthly, retaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an increasingly important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Shipping to Gendros from our Scottish atelier
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Gendros supplied as standard.
The majority of orders arrive at a Gendros address within two to three weeks after proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team produces the boxes using its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without restarting the process again.
Employing a sole box company for your full product range makes packaging.
It all flows through one invoice and a single point of contact, sparing you the frustration of chasing several suppliers quoting varying prices for different weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging by default setting
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable because the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain traces each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
Across our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill as neither is easily recyclable, while both present disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are used in their place.
Absolutely no minimum purchase for Gendros companies.
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a 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 will always receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, get a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and its fit in your hand.

Custom packaging Gendros Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply tailored packaging to Gendros?
Yes. We produce each product in Irvine, and then deliver throughout the UK as standard, reaching each corner of Gendros and the whole of Wales without adding a additional fee because the destination lies further from our factory.
What’s the least order needed for packaging at Gendros?
There is no minimum order. You can order a one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quotation provided before production begins.
Which areas of the packaging can be modified?
Size, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be altered for each format, making sure the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can also feature printing on both the inside and outside.
Would you provide packaging product examples before I submit an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to production standards, enabling you to verify that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before approving a bulk order.
Is the container recyclable and biodegradable?
All packaging boxes are completely recyclable. We exclude plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are offered when the format permits.
Could I order again the same layout in the future?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
