Purposes opt for bespoke packaging
A conventional box provides space around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Basic packaging bearing an attached sticker is the simplest choice, but it is designed for no one specifically.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of covering it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Glanadda and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from a single sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for any item we make, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is determined.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product itself.
What bespoke packaging consists of
Custom packaging is created around your product from the beginning, with its size and print adapted to the item you are packing.
You select the dimensions, ensuring a custom-sized box holds the product securely rather than letting it rattle within excess space created by a generic size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are individually designed too to suit the contents and their journey.
Adding a logo to a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a more modest project than fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you are able to alter every panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, producing packaging that fits with no compromise.
Packing solutions we create for Glanadda firms
We make a complete range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour using your artwork.
The ideal box design and packaging format depend on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will guide you through the choices!
Shop packages and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging format for less heavy products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of lock box, made from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Postal and online retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network, while making delivery into part of the brand experience and boosting visibility through printing on both its interior and exterior, not solely its outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, creating extra depth to hold larger items firmly in place.
Present boxes, sturdy boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide presents with polished presentation customers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can further enhance the finish.
Craft support for your Glanadda enterprise
Each order comes with packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and verify that the colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs a higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need prior design experience to develop packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with a logo alone, establish the structure and produce professionally designed artwork prepared for print working with you, clarifying each technical decision when it arises.
Our web-based tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it is printed, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order remains consistent.
Need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our team manages it as a routine artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for Glanadda’s own industries
Cuisine and refreshment
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy 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 manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers verify prior to listing products.
Beverages and spirit-making
Throughout Wales, a thriving drinks culture has emerged during the past twenty years, extending from Brecon Beacons distilleries to more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transportation 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.
Skincare and skincare products
Cosmetics and skincare companies require cartons that protect delicate glass packaging and compacts while presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement a premium range that needs to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and subscription companies
Retail and display packaging is important when a product is positioned in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands encounter a different evaluation.
Every month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, making a uniform finish just as important as the original 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 shifting during transit, while keeping the print visible as soon as the box opens.
Subscription-based brands that reorder each month can keep pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining one box size. This becomes increasingly important when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Supplying to Glanadda from our Scotland atelier
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Glanadda.
Most orders arrive at a Glanadda 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, a long-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes using its own presses.
You approve a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts, while reorders retain the original artwork, ensuring larger quantities require no fresh preparation.
Employing a sole box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
Have a single invoice and a single point of contact, instead of seeking out multiple suppliers, each offering a different price for another week.
Planet-friendly packaging as commonplace
Every box we manufacture is 100% recyclable as the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain traces every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We’re cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is easily recycled, while both cause disposal headaches once a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
There is no minimum order for Glanadda businesses
Across the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you must finance stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement .
Small businesses can begin with one sample, place a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is proven, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
You will consistently receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to the ones supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in bulk, ask for a printed sample and inspect its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.
