Here’s why you should choose made-to-measure packaging
A conventional box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with a sticker is easy, but it is designed for no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces custom-made packaging expressly for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish uphold your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Llanharan and surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order on anything we produce, so you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What bespoke packaging signifies
Custom packaging is created for your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print adapted to the item you are packing.
By selecting the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box holds the product firmly, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to accommodate what is being packed and how it travels!
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, including a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Wrapping styles we produce for Llanharan organisations
We create a full range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork!
Choosing the correct box style and packaging type depends on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the available options.
Store boxes and company packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a retail packaging standard, ideal for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, ensuring heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Postal and digital commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility because it is printed on the inside and outside, not only across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are offered with gussets, providing extra depth to keep bigger items securely in place.
Keepsake boxes, rigid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide presents with refined presentation customers anticipate, without them needing to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are ideal for food presents and 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 help for your Llanharan venture
Every order provides packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print-ready files and check that the colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs a higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project develops.
Our online tool lets you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it reaches print, while Pantone colour matching ensures every repeat order remains consistent.
Need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our team handles it as a standard artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for the Llanharan’s industries
Meals and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before stocking products onto their shelves.
Beverages and distillation venues
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and self-care
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that safeguard delicate glass packaging and compacts while presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes are suitable for premium ranges that must support a higher price point.
Digital commerce and recurring companies
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Because the same client opens an nearly identical box each month, maintaining a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
Packaging designed to match your product’s exact dimensions keeps items secure during transit, reducing damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from moving during transport, while ensuring the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
Subscription-based brands that reorder each month can keep pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining one box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Delivering Llanharan straight from our Scotland plant
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Llanharan provided as standard.
After proof approval, the majority of orders arrive at a Llanharan address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where a seasoned team produces boxes on its own presses.
You check a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts, while reorders retain the same artwork, meaning that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Using a sole box company for packaging throughout your entire product range makes the process simple.
You get one invoice and deal with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging as common practice
Each box we make is 100% recyclable as the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain traces every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easily recyclable, and both cause disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
No minimum purchase for Llanharan businesses
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to fund stock and storage before establishing whether the product will sell.
There is no requirement for a minimum order .
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or move on to full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at every quantity across this range.
You will consistently receive a written quote prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to the ones supplied 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 sits in your hand.
