Why opt for personalised packaging?
A regular box creates unfilled space around the product, enabling it to move noisily in transit until foam or paper is inserted to stop movement.
Conventional packaging with a label applied to its side might be convenient, yet it is designed for no specific audience.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging for your product, making sure that the box, print and finish complement your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Grangetown 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 require no minimum order, so stock and storage costs stay out of the picture until you know whether a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What custom packaging covers
Custom packaging creates the box around your product from the start, so its size and printing correspond exactly to what you are putting inside.
You select the measurements, enabling a made-to-measure box to hold the product firmly without movement resulting from excess space in a standard size.
Every element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is adapted to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo onto a stock box amounts to personalised packaging, a more limited undertaking than fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely and with no compromise.
Packaging types we create for Grangetown companies
We produce a full range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
The best-suited box style and packaging type depend on what you sell and the way it is handled, while our packaging experts will guide you through the options!
Commercial boxes and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold inwards at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and e-commerce cartons
A bespoke mailer box protects your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while boosting visibility by printing on the inside as well as the outside, not merely the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are offered with gussets, providing additional depth to keep bigger items securely in place.
Surprise boxes, sturdy boxes and gable packages
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with additional branded boxes provide purchases made as gifts with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, supplied with a handle that folds upwards, are an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium lines, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the final effect.
Craft assistance for your Grangetown company
Every order includes packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and branding guidelines, our design specialists produce print-ready files and verify that colours are reproduced correctly on board, as packaging needs greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need prior design experience to develop packaging that represents your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo, establish the structure and create expertly designed artwork prepared for print working with you, explaining each technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency each time you make a repeat order.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, handled in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for the Grangetown’s sectors
Meals and refreshment
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging that touches meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is produced on.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that we manufacture food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require prior to listing products.
Drinks and distilleries
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a flourishing drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes have to withstand transit and appear smart on the shelf too! Finishes including foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and aesthetics of the Grangetown
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, while creating an appealing presentation on retail shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges that must support a higher price point.
E-commerce and subscription labels
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Every month, the same customer returns to an almost identical box, making a reliable finish just as important as the original design.
Packaging designed to fit your product’s precise dimensions holds items securely during transit, reducing damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transport, while making sure the print is straight away visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand placing repeat orders each month, keeping uniform box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more important consideration as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Sending to Grangetown from our Scotland facility
Everything is produced at our Irvine site, with delivery across the UK to businesses in Grangetown included as standard.
Most orders arrive at a Grangetown address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer printing and producing print and packaging since 1997. Its seasoned team creates the boxes on its own presses!
You review a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production begins, while reorders retain the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Working with a single box company for packaging throughout your entire product line makes everything uncomplicated.
You have a single invoice and a single dedicated point of contact, instead of pursuing several suppliers, each giving a different price for a separate week.
Sustainable packaging as commonplace
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable as the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper are procured from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traceable through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in place of them.
There is no minimum buy for Grangetown organisations.
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may place an order for a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a complete production run after demand has been established, with the per unit price adjusting at each quantity across this range.
You always receive a written quotation before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are identical to those provided for ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, get a printed sample to assess its print, colour and its fit in your hand.
