Reasons to go for custom packaging
A standard box leaves space around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with a side sticker is the simplest approach, but it caters to no specific customer.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Llanedeyrn and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from a single sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, allowing you to set stock and storage costs aside until a product has shown that it sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll customise the recommendation to fit the product precisely.
What bespoke packaging involves
Bespoke packaging is created around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print adapted to the item you are packing.
By choosing the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box secures the product securely, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Every element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is tailored to the contents and the way they are transported.
Printing your logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, needing less work than a entirely customisable design.
Using customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Packaging formats we offer for Llanedeyrn firms
We manufacture a comprehensive range of packaging boxes, each made to custom dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can walk you through the available options.
Store boxes and custom packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging type for lighter products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger type of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Postal and web store parcels
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery into part of the brand experience and boosting visibility through printing on both its interior and exterior, not just its outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, providing additional depth to hold larger items firmly in place.
Gift boxes, strong boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging provide gifts with the presentation customers anticipate, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Develop guidance for your Llanedeyrn enterprise
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
Have a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts produce print ready files, checking that colours remain accurate on board because packaging demands higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need any prior experience in design to develop packaging that represents your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Working together, you will determine the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain every technical decision as it arises.
Our web-based tool lets you personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before printing. We also provide Pantone colour matching, keeping each repeat order uniform.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our team manages this as a standard artwork request, just as we would manage any other language or colour amendment.
Bespoke packaging for Llanedeyrn’s own industries
Food and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before welcoming products onto their shelves.
Drinks and liquor producers
Across Wales, a thriving drinks culture has emerged during the past twenty years, extending from Brecon Beacons distilleries to more recent 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 contributing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare products and grooming products for Llanedeyrn
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect fragile glass and compacts while looking attractively on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
E-commerce and recurring labels
Packaging intended for retail display is important when a product sits in a store or marketplace fulfilment centre, but subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Every month, the same customer returns to an nearly identical box, making a dependable finish just as important as the original design.
Effective online retail packaging, made to correspond to your product packaging exactly, keeps goods secure in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from shifting during transit, while ensuring the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can maintain pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining one box size. This becomes increasingly important when order volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Llanedeyrn from our Scottish studio
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Llanedeyrn included as standard.
After proof approval, most orders arrive at a Llanedeyrn address within two to three weeks, matching our packaging delivery schedule across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its long-standing staff makes the boxes using its own presses.
You will 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 starting from scratch!
Using one box company for packaging throughout your entire product line makes everything simple.
You have a single invoice and one contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging by default setting
Every box we manufacture is 100% recyclable because its board is able to be recycled.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is easy to recycle and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
Not any minimum purchase for Llanedeyrn businesses.
Across the industry, custom packaging often calls for minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before discovering if your product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can opt for a one sample, a brief trial run, or a complete production run after demand is demonstrated, with per-unit pricing scaling across each quantity in between.
You receive a written quotation before production starts, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are the same as those provided 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.

No minimum order requirement applies. You can request one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quote provided before production starts.
Which package features can I personalise?
Every aspect of the format, such as size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, so that the packaging matches exactly your brief. Branded packaging may additionally be printed internally and externally.
May I request examples of your packing products before submitting an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to production standards, enabling you to verify that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before approving a bulk order.

Every packaging box is fully recyclable. We omit plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are offered when the format permits.

Indeed, reorders use the same artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or repeating it for another season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
