Motivations for choose customised packaging
A regular box leaves space around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until someone fills the spaces with foam or paper to keep it still.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be simple, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio designs bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Landore and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
We set no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the equation until you know whether a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What custom packaging signifies
Custom packaging begins with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect what it contains.
You determine the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to cradle the product securely rather than letting it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Adding a logo to a stock box produces personalised packaging, offering a less ambitious project than completely customisable design.
Using bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, including a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Wrapping solutions we make for Landore enterprises
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The ideal box design and packaging format depend on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will talk you through the choices!
Store cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, designed for lightweight products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps which tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier form of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and internet shopping boxes
A bespoke mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and turns delivery into part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than only across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Present containers, solid cartons and gable containers
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, featuring a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food presents as well as hampers!
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Finishes including foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Design assistance for your Landore company
Each order comes with packaging design support, regardless of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and check that colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs greater resolution than an image on a website.
You don’t need experience in design to develop 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 every technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool enables you to personalise a box and preview its look on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency each time you place a repeat order.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for the Landore’s industries
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Refreshments and distillation locations
Over the past twenty years, Wales has established a flourishing drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in 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.
Beauty treatments and cosmetic items
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must shield delicate glass and compacts while looking beautifully on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges that need to support a higher price point.
Electronic commerce and recurring payment brands
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a different challenge.
Because the same customer opens an nearly identical box every month, keeping a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
Precisely sized e commerce packaging holds products safely during transit, helping prevent damage, lower claims and minimise returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders each month, retaining identical box dimensions helps maintain pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly significant consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Sending to Landore from our Scotland
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Landore included as standard.
The majority of orders arrive at a Landore address within two to three weeks after proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, meaning an established team produces the boxes using its own presses.
You review a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts, while reorders use the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Employing a sole box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
It all passes through a single invoice and a single point of contact, saving you from the frustration of chasing multiple suppliers quoting varying prices for different weeks.
Renewable packaging as common practice
Every box we make is 100% recyclable because the board itself enables that recyclability.
We source our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traced through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are minimising single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both create difficulties with disposal after a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are employed in their place.
No minimum order for Landore businesses.
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before establishing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all.
Small businesses may order a single 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.
Prior to production begins, you will always receive a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before making a bigger order, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it fits into your hand.
Ways to order tailor-made packaging
Send your brief. Ring 01294 314 919 or use the online design tool. Let us know the product, quantity and roughly how it is sold.
Design and proofing. We develop packaging design appropriate for your product, prepare the print layout, then supply a proof for you to approve.
Ask for and approve a sample. If the format requires 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 completed in Irvine before being delivered to your Landore address, generally within two to three weeks.
Custom packaging Landore Q&A
Will you deliver personalised packaging to Landore?
Yes. We make every item in Irvine and provide standard delivery across the UK, serving every part of Landore and the whole of Wales, without charging a separate fee for locations more distant from the factory.
Which would be the smallest packaging amount at Landore?
No minimum order applies. Whether you require one box or several thousand in any format, you will be provided with quantity based pricing via a written quote before production begins.
Which packing elements can I customise?
Each format gives you complete flexibility to change the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the resulting packaging matches your brief precisely. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the interior as well as the exterior.
Would you provide packaging product demonstrations ahead of we place an order?
Yes. You receive a sample printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours satisfy your brief and the board feels suitable before authorising a bulk order.
Is the packaging recyclable and can it break down naturally?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format allows.
May I purchase again the same design later?
Yes, reorders are made from the same artwork file, so expanding an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
