Top reasons go with tailored packaging
A regular box creates empty space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is added to stop movement.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be easy, but it belongs to nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging tailored to your product, making sure the box, print and finish reinforce your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Lisvane 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 set no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the picture until you know that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What tailored packaging signifies
Custom packaging is created around your product from the start, with its dimensions and print adapted to what you are packing.
You determine the dimensions, enabling a made-to-measure box to cradle the product securely instead of letting it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are bespoke to accommodate what is being packed and the way it travels!
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, but it is a less extensive project than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely and without compromise.
Packing types we produce for Lisvane firms
We offer an comprehensive range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the most appropriate box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will explain clearly.
Shop cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, intended for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Posting and internet shopping containers
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, giving bulkier items space to rest securely without shifting.
Keepsake boxes, sturdy boxes and roof-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes give products bought as gifts with the refined presentation customers anticipate, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are suitable for food gifts as well as hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than conventional carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can enhance further the outcome.
Craft guidance for your Lisvane brand
Each order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and check that the colours stay accurate on board, because packaging requires a higher resolution than a website image.
Previous design experience is not necessary to create packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with nothing more than a logo, creating the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork alongside you, while explaining each technical decision clearly as it comes up.
Our digital design tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing starts. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping every repeat order stay consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, handled in exactly the same manner as any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Lisvane’s industries
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers evaluate before listing a product.
Tipples and spirit makers
Across Wales, a thriving drinks culture has emerged during the past twenty years, extending from Brecon Beacons distilleries to newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact needed for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Skincare and cosmetic items
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while presenting well on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges requiring a higher price point to be justified.
Online shopping and subscription brands
Packaging created for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, however, subscription brands experience a specific challenge.
Every month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, making a consistent finish just as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transport, while ensuring the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining one box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes exceed several hundred units.
Sending to Lisvane from our Scottish atelier
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Lisvane included as standard.
After proof approval, deliveries to a Lisvane address usually arrive within two to three weeks, following the timetable for all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff makes the boxes using its own presses.
You’ll check a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample before full production starts. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means beginning from scratch!
Employing a sole box company for packaging throughout your entire product range keeps the process simple.
You get one invoice and work with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Renewable packaging as default
Every box we make is fully recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
We procure our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes, as neither material is easy to recycle and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
Not any minimum buy for Lisvane companies
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Small businesses can order one sample, a limited trial run, or a complete production batch once they have proved demand, with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout the range.
Prior to production starts, you will always receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.
