Reasons prefer personalised packaging
A regular box provides room around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Typical packaging with a sticker affixed is the simple option, but it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging customised for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Hirael and the nearby valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We impose 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’ll tailor the recommendation to fit the product precisely.
What tailor-made packaging implies
Custom packaging begins with a box specifically designed for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect what it contains.
By choosing the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box holds the product securely, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Every element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, providing a less ambitious project than completely customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you are able to alter every panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, producing packaging that fits without compromise.
Wrapping styles we offer for Hirael firms
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, each made to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the most suitable box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging experts will explain clearly.
Shop cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging format for lighter products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a kind of lock box, offering a stronger cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Post and internet retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Present containers, rigid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products bought as presents the polished presentation customers expect, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit food gifts as well as hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Build guidance for your Hirael brand
Every order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
After your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts prepare files suitable for print and make sure colours stay true on board, where packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Starting with no more than a logo, our team creates the structure and creates professionally designed, print-ready artwork 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 stays consistent.
Need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our team handles it as a routine artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Hirael’s businesses
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, confirming our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to stocking products onto their shelves.
Refreshments and distillation sites
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a flourishing drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transport while preserving their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and glamour
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that safeguard delicate glass packaging and compacts while presenting an attractive 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.
E-commerce and subscription companies
Packaging intended for retail display matters when a product is located in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, yet subscription brands face an completely different challenge.
As the same customer opens an nearly identical box every month, maintaining a consistent finish is just as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure during transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A tailored insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, while ensuring the print stays immediately visible as the box opens.
Subscription-based brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining one box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Transporting to Hirael from our Scotland
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Hirael supplied as standard.
Following proof approval, the majority of orders reach a Hirael address within two to three weeks, matching our packaging delivery schedule throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where an experienced team produces boxes using its own presses.
Before full production begins, you get a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample, as reorders keep the same artwork, rendering expansion remarkably straightforward.
Using a single box company for your full product range makes packaging.
You have one invoice and a single contact, removing the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging by default setting
Each box we make is 100% recyclable as its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked via an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both create disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place.
No minimum buy for Hirael companies
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or proceed with full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity throughout this range.
You will always receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in bulk, ask for a printed sample and examine its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.
How do you make a custom packing order
Provide your brief by calling 01294 314 919 or using the online design tool, then let us know the product, quantity and about how it is sold.
Design and proof. We develop packaging design suited to your product, prepare the print layout, and send a proof for you to review.
Request a tangible sample where the format calls for one, then provide approval once you are happy with its colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine before reaching your Hirael address, usually within two to three weeks.

Every format can be tailored in terms of size, structure, board weight, print and finish, making sure your packaging meets the brief perfectly. Looking to make an impact? Your branded packaging order can include printing both inside and outside.
Can you kindly send samples of your packaging solutions products before I choose to place an order?
