Purposes opt for bespoke packaging
A standard box has room 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 side sticker is the simplest route, but it caters to no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging tailored to your product, ensuring 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 North and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from a single sample to a complete pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for any item we produce, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is established.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation specifically to the product in question.
What bespoke packaging covers
Bespoke packaging is designed for your product from the outset, with its size and print adapted to the item you are packing.
Choose the dimensions, allowing a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without avoidable movement created by a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also custom designed, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, constituting a more modest undertaking than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly and with no compromise.
Wrapping solutions we create for Llandaff North enterprises
We make a comprehensive range of packaging boxes in custom sizes, printed in full colour featuring your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will guide you through the available options.
Store boxes and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging format for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when unfolded, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and online shopping boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility as it is printed inside and out, not solely across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Surprise boxes, strong boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes give products purchased as gifts the refined presentation customers anticipate, whilst sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the final effect.
Craft guidance for your Llandaff North business.
Each order provides packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
Have a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts create print ready files, verifying that colours remain accurate on board because packaging requires higher resolution than a website image.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while supporting you through each technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders remain consistent.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our staff manages this as a standard artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Personalised packaging for Llandaff North’s own industries
Food and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that food packaging is manufactured within controlled, traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers carry out prior to approving products for listing.
Tipples and spirit makers
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers further north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to survive transit and look smart on the shelf as well! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty treatments and makeup products
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts while presenting well on shelves.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range feel worthy of its higher price point.
E-commerce and membership tags
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, making a uniform finish just as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, maintains items secure during transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye the moment the box opens.
When a subscription brand places repeat orders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an ever more important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Providing Llandaff North straight from our Scotland production site
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Llandaff North.
After your proof is accepted, the majority of orders arrive at a Llandaff North address within two to three weeks, corresponding to the delivery timeframe for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, which means an established team creates the boxes using its own presses.
You sign off on a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts, while reorders keep the original artwork, meaning larger quantities require no new preparation.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your entire product line keeps everything straightforward.
Everything passes through a single invoice and one point of contact, sparing you the frustration of pursuing multiple suppliers quoting varying prices for different weeks.
Eco-friendly packaging as commonplace
Every box we create is completely recyclable, with that recyclability stemming from the board itself.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is readily recyclable, and both create difficulties with disposal once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place.
There is no minimum order for Llandaff North companies
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to finance stock and storage before establishing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all!
Small businesses are able to order one sample, a restricted trial run, or a complete production batch once they have proved demand, with per unit pricing adjusted for every order quantity throughout the range.
Prior to production starts, you will invariably receive a written quotation, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty remain identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to assess its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.
