Motives pick bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves space around the product, enabling it to rattle in transit until someone fills the spaces with paper or foam to hold it still.
Conventional packaging with a sticker on the side is the simplest approach, but it caters to no particular customer.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging specifically for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We create custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Graig 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 have no minimum order for anything we make, meaning you avoid stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What bespoke packaging signifies
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
You select the measurements, allowing a made-to-measure box to keep the product firmly without movement resulting from surplus space in a standard size.
Every element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is adapted to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, requiring less work than a completely customisable design.
Customised packaging places each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, enabling you to create a bespoke solution that fits perfectly, with no compromise.
Packing types we make for Graig firms
We manufacture a complete range of packaging boxes, tailored to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the suitable box style and packaging format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Retail boxes and personalised packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging format for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier kind of lock box, formed from cardboard and featuring a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Posting and internet shopping parcels
A bespoke 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 solely across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, giving bulkier items space to rest securely.
Present boxes, solid cartons and pitched boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products bought as presents the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes featuring collapsible carry handles are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Finishes including foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Create guidance for your Graig business
We offer packaging design support with each order, irrespective of your artwork’s current stage.
After your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts create files ready for print and make sure colours remain true on board, where packaging demands greater resolution than website imagery.
You need no previous design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Starting with no more than a logo, our team develops the structure and produces professionally designed, print-ready artwork with you, clarifying every technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency whenever you place a repeat order.
When you need packaging printed bilingually in English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for the Graig’s industries
Cuisine and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is manufactured within controlled, traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers undertake before approving products for listing.
Tipples and spirit producers
Over the last twenty years, Wales has developed a distinctive drinks industry, encompassing distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and newer gin and whisky producers across 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.
Makeup and beauty
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts while standing out on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes pair with premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and subscription businesses
Packaging designed for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, however, subscription brands experience a specific challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box every month, which makes a uniform finish as important as the original design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging keeps products securely during transit, helping prevent damage, reduce claims and limit returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transport, while ensuring the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
When a subscription brand reorders each month, retaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an ever more important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Transporting to Graig from our Scottish workshop
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Graig included as standard.
Once your proof is approved, most orders are delivered to a Graig address within two to three weeks, corresponding to the delivery timeframe for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff produces the boxes using its own presses.
You check a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders retain the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product range preserves simplicity.
You have a single invoice and a single contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Renewable packaging as commonplace
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable because the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while each sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both cause disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
Zero minimum buy for Graig businesses
Across 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.
There is no minimum order requirement at all.
Small businesses are able to order one sample, a limited trial run, or a full production batch once they have proved demand, with per unit pricing adjusted for every order quantity across the range.
You will consistently receive a written quote before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in volume, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and fit in your hand.
How should you make a personalised packing order
Send your brief by telephoning 01294 314 919 or accessing the online design tool. Let us know the product, quantity needed, and roughly how it is sold.
Design and print proofing. We design packaging that fits your product, produce the print layout, and supply a proof for your approval.
Ask for a physical sample if the format requires one, then sign off once you are satisfied with the colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine prior to being delivered to your Graig address, usually within two to three weeks.

What the order to place packaging through Graig?
There is no minimum order requirement applies. You can request one box or several thousand in any format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quote provided before production begins.
Which package aspects can I modify?
Dimensions, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be customised for every format, making sure the designed packaging meets your brief precisely. A branded packaging order can also be printed on both the interior and outside.
May one obtain examples of your wrapping products before confirming an order?
Of course! Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check the colours satisfy your brief and ensure the board feels right before authorising a bulk order.
Is the container suitable for recycling and compostable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not employ plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety makes them required, while biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format allows.
Is it possible to someone upload the same design another time?
Yes, repeat orders use the same artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or repeating it for another season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
