Why pick tailor-made packs
A standard box has space around the item, letting it to move about during transit until someone packs the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Standard packaging with a sticker on the side is the simplest approach, but it serves no specific customer.
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 produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Llandaff and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door!
You can order any quantity of what we make, so stock and storage expenses continue to be unneeded until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product.
What custom packaging means
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the beginning, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to cradle the product securely instead of allowing 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 how it travels!
Adding a logo to a stock box produces personalised packaging, offering a more modest project than fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, including a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Wrapping formats we make for Llandaff firms
We provide an extensive range of packaging boxes, produced to custom dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging type hinges on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging specialists will take you through the available options.
Store cartons and company packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging choice, suitable for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with closure flaps folding into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier kind of lock box, formed from cardboard and featuring a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Delivery and e-commerce boxes
A custom-made mailer box protects your product across the courier network and makes delivery 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 extra depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Keepsake boxes, solid boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and additional branded boxes provide presents with polished presentation customers expect, without them needing to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food gifts as well as hampers!
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, that is, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than conventional carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can enhance further the result.
Design guidance for your Llandaff business
Every order includes packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and verify that the colours stay accurate on board, because packaging requires a greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need any prior design experience to develop packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with only a logo. Together, you will determine the structure and produce professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain every technical decision as it arises.
Our web-based tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it goes to print, while Pantone colour matching ensures every repeat order remains consistent.
Do you need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our staff handles it as a routine artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for the Llandaff’s operations
Eats and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both 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 hold 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
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks scene, covering Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while maintaining their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing contributing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and grooming
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while standing out on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging using soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range feel worthy of its higher price.
Internet commerce and subscription brands
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Because the same customer unpacks an nearly identical box each month, keeping a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items safe during transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely in transit, while the design is straight away visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, retaining identical box dimensions helps keep pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly significant consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Supplying to Llandaff from our Scottish workshop
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Llandaff.
Most orders reach a Llandaff address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging across 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 producing boxes on its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, allowing you to scale up without starting the process from the beginning.
Using a single box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
You get one invoice and liaise with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Sustainable packaging as expected
Every box we produce is fully recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both create disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised instead.
Absolutely no minimum purchase for Llandaff 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.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small firms are able to order one sample, a restricted trial run, or a full production batch after proving demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout the range.
Before production begins, you will always receive a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to committing to a greater quantity, get a printed sample and evaluate the print, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Do you offer bespoke packaging to Llandaff?
Yes. We produce every product in Irvine, then deliver throughout the UK as part of our standard service, extending to every corner of Llandaff and the whole of Wales without applying a additional fee because the destination lies further from our factory.

Yes. Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours are in line with your brief and the board feels right before authorising a larger order.
Could the packaging prove to be recyclable and can it prove biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless food safety makes them necessary, and biodegradable protective materials are available where the format allows.

Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
