Why choose bespoke packaging
A conventional box has room around the item, allowing it to rattle during transport until someone fills the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Standard packaging with a side sticker is the simplest approach, but it serves no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio designs bespoke packaging around your product, making sure 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 Gwersyllt and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
We have no minimum order for anything we produce, meaning you avoid stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation precisely to the product concerned.
What tailored packaging involves
Custom packaging starts with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, allowing a made-to-measure box to cradle the product securely rather than letting it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are bespoke to suit what is being packed and how it travels!
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, involving less work than a fully customisable design.
With tailored packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for a single unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Packing formats we design for Gwersyllt companies
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can walk you through the available options.
Store cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging type for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a kind of lock box, providing a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Parcel and internet retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and improving visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are offered with gussets, creating extra depth to keep larger items securely in place.
Present boxes, sturdy boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers anticipate, whilst sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium lines, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the finished effect.
Build assistance for your Gwersyllt brand.
Each order comes with packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts prepare files ready for print and make sure colours remain true on board, where packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need experience in design to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Together, they create the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision along the way.
Our online tool lets you customise a box and view its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains every repeat order consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team treats it as a usual artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Gwersyllt’s industries
Meals and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging which comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is produced on.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Beverages and distillation
Over the last twenty years, Wales has established a distinctive drinks industry, encompassing distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while remaining eye-catching on the shelf, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and beauty products
Cosmetics and skincare companies require cartons that safeguard delicate glass packaging and compacts whilst presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging incorporating soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring payment brands
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, whereas subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Because the same customer opens an almost identical box every month, keeping a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
Efficient online retail packaging, made to correspond to your product packaging exactly, keeps goods protected during transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the print remains visible once the box is opened.
Subscription-based brands that reorder each month can keep pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes exceed several hundred units.
Sending to Gwersyllt from our Scottish workshop
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Gwersyllt.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Gwersyllt address generally arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, where a seasoned team creates boxes on its own presses.
Prior to the start of full production, you receive a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample, while reorders keep the same artwork, rendering expansion wonderfully simple.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product line keeps everything uncomplicated.
You have a single invoice and a single contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Sustainable packaging as common practice
Every box we manufacture is 100% recyclable because the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper begin 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, as neither material is easy to recycle and both create disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are used in their place.
No minimum minimum order quantity for Gwersyllt enterprises
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to finance stock and storage before determining whether a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a one sample, limited runs for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the unit price scaling according to the quantity ordered.
You always receive a written quotation before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for ten thousand.
Prior to committing to a larger quantity, obtain a printed sample and assess the print, colour and how it sits in your hand.

No minimum order. We can produce one box or thousands in whatever format, with quantity-based pricing confirmed in a written quotation before manufacture starts.
Which packing components can I personalise?
Each aspect of the format, such as size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, ensuring that the packaging aligns precisely with your brief. Branded packaging may additionally be printed inside and outside.
Could I obtain samples of your packaging products before confirming an order?
Yes. You get a sample printed and finished precisely as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board feels suitable before authorising a bulk order.
Is the packaging suitable for recycling and compostable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety makes them necessary, and biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format allows.
Is it possible to we place another order for the same pattern later?
Yes, reorders utilise the original artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or placing it again for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from scratch.
