Why select customised packaging
A conventional box leaves room around the product, allowing it to move about during transport until somebody packs the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Typical packaging with a sticker affixed is the simple choice, but it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio creates custom-made packaging specifically for your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Little Acton and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of what we make, so stock and storage expenses continue to be unnecessary until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product itself.
What bespoke packaging signifies
With custom packaging, your box is created around the product from the outset, so its dimensions and print suit exactly what you are packing.
By selecting the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box holds the product firmly, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are bespoke to accommodate what is being packed and how it travels!
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, representing a less substantial undertaking than a fully customisable design.
Customised packaging puts each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, enabling you to create a customised solution that fits precisely, without compromise.
Packing solutions we provide for Little Acton enterprises
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, tailored to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The best-suited box style and packaging type are based on what you sell and the way it is handled, while our packaging specialists will talk you through the choices!
Retail cartons and logoed packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging option, suited to lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, featuring closure flaps that fold into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust kind of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, meaning that heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Parcel and ecommerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not solely its outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely without moving.
Present boxes, robust boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging provide presents with the presentation customers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are great for food gifts and hampers!
For premium ranges, we may select 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.
Create guidance for your Little Acton company
Each order comes with packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
After your logo and brand guidelines are established, our design experts prepare files suitable for print and ensure colours remain true on board, where packaging demands greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need prior design experience to develop packaging that represents your brand. Our team can start with a logo alone, establish the structure and produce expertly designed artwork ready for print working with you, clarifying each technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps every repeat order consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team considers this to be a routine artwork requirement and handles it just as we would any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Little Acton’s own industries
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef each hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging that contacts meat or dairy must meet 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 verify before listing products.
Drinks and liquor makers
Throughout Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has developed over the last twenty years, stretching from Brecon Beacons distilleries to newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while maintaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited-edition release or seasonal gift set.
Toiletries and self-care products for Little Acton
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts while standing out on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
Online shopping and membership labels
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter an completely different challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box each month, making a uniform finish as important as the original design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, precisely tailored to your product packaging, secures items in transit while cutting damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, while keeping the print in view once the box opens.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders monthly, retaining uniform box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Little Acton from our Scotland factory
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Little Acton provided as standard.
Once your proof is accepted, the majority of orders are delivered to a Little Acton address within two to three weeks, corresponding to the delivery timescale for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer that has been producing print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team making boxes on its own presses.
You will check a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Employing a sole box company for packaging throughout your whole product range makes the process simple.
You get one invoice and operate through a sole point of contact, instead of chasing several suppliers, each quoting different prices for individual weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging as the norm
Each box we make is entirely recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
We source our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet traced through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are used instead of them.
There is no minimum purchase for Little Acton organisations
Across the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever.
Smaller businesses can start with a single sample, place a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is confirmed, while unit pricing scales across every quantity in between.
You receive a written quote before production begins, while the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a bigger order, ask for a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it sits into your hand.

Personalised wrapping Little Acton Help Guide
Can you provide tailored packaging to Little Acton?
Indeed! We manufacture everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK by default, including every part of Little Acton and throughout Wales, with no additional charge simply because you are farther from the factory.
Which would be the lowest packaging requirement at Little Acton?
No minimum order requirement applies. You can ask for one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quotation provided before production begins.
What packaging components can I customise?
Each aspect of the format, including size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, so that the packaging matches exactly your brief. Branded packaging may additionally be printed inside and outside.
Could I request examples of your packaging items before making an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly replicate a production run, enabling you to verify that its colours satisfy your brief and that the board feels suitable prior to approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging recyclable and compostable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not employ plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format allows.
Can I get again the same template afterwards?
