Why select prefer individually crafted packaging
A regular box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Standard packaging with an adhesive label is easy, but it is intended for nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging tailored to your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Holyhead and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door!
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, enabling you to leave stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What bespoke packaging covers
Bespoke packaging is designed for your product from the start, with its dimensions and print adapted to the item you are packing.
You select the dimensions, so that a custom-sized box keeps the product secure rather than allowing it to rattle within excess space created by a generic size.
The construction, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to match the packed contents and how it travels.
Printing your logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, needing less work than a entirely customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single run, allowing you to create packaging that fits exactly without any compromise.
Packing types we offer for Holyhead firms
We create a complete range of packaging boxes, produced to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork!
The best-suited box design and packaging type are based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will guide you through the options!
Shop cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a familiar retail packaging option for lightweight products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold tidily into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when unfolded, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Delivery and internet shopping boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items space to rest securely without shifting.
Present containers, sturdy cases and gable packages
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products purchased as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, complete with a handle that folds up, make an excellent choice for 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 such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Develop backing for your Holyhead enterprise.
We offer packaging design support with each order, irrespective of your artwork’s current stage.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts produce print-ready files and check that colours reproduce correctly on board, as packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You need not have any previous experience in design to develop packaging that represents your brand. We can start with only a logo. Working together, you will determine the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain every technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and check its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders remain consistent.
If packaging is required in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, managing it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Holyhead’s unique industries
Cuisine and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef each hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas packaging that contacts 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 assess before including a product.
Drinks and distilleries
During the last two decades, Wales has built a genuine drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes have to withstand transit and look smart on the shelf too! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and makeup products
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, while providing an attractive presentation on retail shelves.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes are suited to premium ranges requiring a higher price point to be justified.
Internet commerce and membership labels
Packaging intended for retail display is important when a product sits in a store or marketplace fulfilment centre, but subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Every month, the same customer returns to an almost identical box, making a reliable finish equally important as the original design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, precisely tailored to your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit while cutting damage claims and returns.
A tailored insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print stays visible straight away as the box opens.
When a subscription brand places repeat orders each month, retaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an ever more important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Shipping to Holyhead from our Scottish
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Holyhead provided as standard.
Once proof approval is confirmed, most orders arrive at a Holyhead address in two to three weeks, following the same timetable as the rest of our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where a seasoned team produces boxes using its own presses.
Before full production begins, you receive a proof and, when the format calls for it, a physical sample, as reorders keep the same artwork, making expansion remarkably simple.
Using a sole box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
You have one invoice and one dedicated point of contact, instead of pursuing several suppliers, each giving a different price for a different week.
Planet-friendly packaging as default
Every box we make is 100% recyclable since the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits trace every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties after a parcel is opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are employed in their place.
Zero minimum buy for Holyhead organisations
Across the wider industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or move on to full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at every quantity across this range.
You always receive a written quote before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for fifty are identical to those provided for ten thousand.
Before committing to a greater quantity, get a printed sample and assess the print, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Design and proof. We create packaging designed for your product, produce the print layout, and provide a proof for your review.
Request and approve a sample. If the format calls for one, order a physical sample, then sign off when 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 Holyhead address, usually within two to three weeks.
Personalised packaging Holyhead Support
Can you deliver tailored packaging to Holyhead?
Indeed! We manufacture everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK as standard, including every part of Holyhead and throughout Wales, with no additional charge simply because you are farther from the factory.
What is the minimum packaging amount at Holyhead?
No minimum order applies. You may order a one box or several thousand in any format, with pricing scaled to quantity in a written quote issued before production starts.
Which elements of the packaging can I tailor?
Each aspect of the format, such as size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, so that the packaging aligns precisely with your brief. Branded packaging may additionally be printed inside and outside.
Would you provide examples of your packaging products before I submit an order?
Yes. Your sample arrives printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours are in line with your brief and the board feels right before approving a larger order.
Is the container recyclable and compostable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless they are necessary for food safety, and biodegradable protective materials are available where the format permits.
May we order again the same layout later?
Yes, reorders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for another season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
