Why go for custom packaging?
A conventional box creates room around the product, making it rattle in transit until foam or paper is packed in to stop movement.
Standard packaging with a side sticker is the simplest route, but it serves no particular customer.
Custom Pack Studio creates tailored packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Gowerton and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door!
We have no minimum order for anything we make, so stock and storage expenses remain unnecessary until you know a product is going to sell.
Tell us your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to suit the product precisely.
What custom packaging implies
Custom packaging is created around your product from the start, with its dimensions and print adapted to the item you are packing.
Choose your measurements and create a made-to-measure box that keeps the product snug, preventing it from rattling around in the unused space of a standard-sized box.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, but it is a smaller project than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single run, allowing you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Packaging options we offer for Gowerton businesses
We produce a full range of packaging boxes in custom sizes, printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will take you through the available options.
Store cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a familiar retail packaging option for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold tidily into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Delivery and ecommerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, solid boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products bought as gifts with the refined presentation customers anticipate, removing the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food presents and hampers!
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, that is, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can further enhance the result.
Develop support for your Gowerton enterprise
Every order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and verify that the colours remain accurate on board, because packaging needs a greater resolution than a website image.
You don’t need experience in design to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they create the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision along the way.
Our web-based 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 every repeat order remains consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team considers this to be a routine artwork requirement and manages it in the same way we would any other language or colour alteration.
Personalised packaging for Gowerton’s own industries
Cuisine and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging in contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is made on.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers evaluate before including a product.
Drinks and spirit producers
Across Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has emerged during the past twenty years, stretching from Brecon Beacons distilleries to newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand 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 personal care of the Gowerton
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts whilst presenting well on shelves.
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.
Internet commerce and recurring companies
Packaging designed for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, but, subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Because the same customer unpacks an nearly identical box every month, keeping a consistent finish is just as important as the initial design.
High-grade e-commerce packaging, produced precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items safe in transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
A bespoke insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, while ensuring the print remains visible straight away as the box opens.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders each month, keeping uniform box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Gowerton from our Scottish workroom
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Gowerton provided as standard.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Gowerton address typically arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all 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 a seasoned team creates boxes on its own presses.
You will review a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Using one box company for packaging across your entire product range preserves simplicity.
You receive one invoice and liaise with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Sustainable packaging by default
Each box we create is completely recyclable, with that recyclability inherent in the board itself.
Our board and paper are procured from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traceable via an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
Across our processes, we are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill as neither is readily recyclable, while both present disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are used instead of them.
There is no minimum purchase for Gowerton firms
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
We require no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may order one sample, commission a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity across this range.
Before production starts, you will always be sent a written quote. The high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, get a printed sample to assess its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Bespoke packaging Gowerton Frequently Asked Questions
Will you supply personalised packaging to Gowerton?
Yes. We produce each product in Irvine, then deliver throughout the UK as standard, reaching each corner of Gowerton and the whole of Wales without levying a separate fee because the destination lies further from our factory.
What’s the smallest order to place packaging at Gowerton?
There is no minimum order! Select one box or several thousand in any format, with prices adjusted according to quantity in a written quote before production begins.
Which packaging parts can I customise?
Every format permits adjustments to size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the packaging matches your brief exactly. Branded packaging can also be printed on both the inside and exterior.
May you provide packing product examples in advance of we submit an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to precisely the same standard as a production run, enabling you to confirm that the colours match your brief and that the board has the correct feel before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging able to be recycled and biodegradable?
Every box is completely recyclable. We steer clear of plastic laminates that prevent recycling, unless food safety makes them essential, while biodegradable protective materials are offered wherever the format permits.
May I apply the same layout at a later time?
Yes, repeat orders use the same artwork file, which means you can raise quantities or prepare packaging for a new season without redesigning everything from the beginning.
