Reasons pick bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until someone fills the gaps with paper or foam to hold it still.
Conventional packaging with a sticker on the side is the easiest approach, but it serves no specific customer.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Llanrumney and surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of what we make, so inventory and storage costs remain unnecessary until you have established that a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product.
What bespoke packaging signifies
Custom packaging starts with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
Choose your dimensions and create a made-to-measure box that keeps the product snug, preventing it from rattling about in the unoccupied space of a standard-sized box.
Every element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, requiring less work than a entirely customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Packing types we produce for Llanrumney organisations
We manufacture a comprehensive range of packaging boxes in custom sizes, printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the suitable style of box and packaging format depends on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will talk you through the available options.
Store containers and custom packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging mainstay, intended for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps which tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier kind of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, meaning that heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Shipping and online shopping boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility by printing on the inside as well as the outside, rather than just the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, giving bulkier items room to rest securely.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products bought as presents the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
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.
Develop aid for your Llanrumney identity
Every order comes with packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
Got a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts create print ready files, verifying that colours stay accurate on board because packaging requires higher resolution than a website image.
You don’t need design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Working together, they determine the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, detailing each technical decision as the project develops.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains every repeat order consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a routine artwork requirement and handles it just as we would any other language or colour alteration.
Personalised packaging for the Llanrumney’s industries
Nourishment 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, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that we manufacture food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require before listing products.
Beverages and spirit-makers
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers farther north.
Bottle presentation boxes must survive transit and appear smart on the shelf as well! Finishes including foil stamping and embossing deliver much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare products and beauty products for Llanrumney
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst looking good 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 commerce and recurring companies
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands face an wholly different challenge.
Because the same customer opens an almost identical box each month, keeping a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, created precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure during transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
A tailored insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, while ensuring the print stays immediately visible as the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that reorders monthly, keeping consistent box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Sending to Llanrumney from our Scottish facility
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Llanrumney provided as standard.
Once your proof is approved, most orders are delivered to a Llanrumney address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timeframe for our packaging 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 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 restarting the process from the beginning.
Employing one box company for packaging across your entire range of products makes everything straightforward.
You get a single invoice and work through a single point of contact, instead of chasing several suppliers, each offering different prices for individual weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging by default setting
Each box we make is 100% recyclable since the board itself is recyclable.
We procure 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’re cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither is easily recycled, while both cause disposal headaches after a parcel has been opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
No minimum purchase for Llanrumney firms
Throughout the sector, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, forcing you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or proceed with full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at every quantity across this range.
Before production starts, you will always receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to committing to a greater quantity, obtain a printed sample and evaluate the print, colour and how it sits in your hand.
