Why select personalised wrapping
A standard box leaves room around the product, making it rattle during transit until foam or paper is packed in to stop movement.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be simple, but it belongs to nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates custom-made packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Llantwit Major and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from a single sample to a complete pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
We have no minimum order for 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 customise our recommendation precisely to the product in question.
What tailor-made packaging signifies
With custom packaging, your box is designed around the product from day one, so its dimensions and print fit precisely what you are packing.
By choosing 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.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and the way it travels.
Printing your logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, requiring less work than a completely customisable design.
Customised packaging places every panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, allowing you to create a bespoke solution that fits precisely, with no compromise.
Packaging types we provide for Llantwit Major firms
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The ideal box design and packaging format are based on what you sell and the way it is handled, while our packaging experts will talk you through the choices!
Shop cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging format 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 more robust type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shopping boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across 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.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer extra depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, solid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes give products bought as gifts with the refined presentation customers expect, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are great for food presents and hampers!
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can further enhance the finish.
Develop support for your Llantwit Major enterprise.
Each order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print ready files and check that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Together, they determine the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency each time you place a repeat order.
Do you need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our staff manages it as a routine artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for the Llantwit Major’s businesses
Dishes 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 satisfy food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Drinks and liquor makers
Over the last two decades, Wales has developed a genuine drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers throughout the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while staying eye-catching on the shelf, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and glamour
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts whilst presenting well on shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes complement premium ranges intended to support a higher price point.
Digital commerce and subscribing labels
Packaging created for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, however, subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box every month, making a uniform finish as important as the original design.
Effective online retail packaging, produced to correspond to your product packaging precisely, keeps goods protected in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product secure in transit, while the print remains visible as soon as the box is opened.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Shipping to Llantwit Major from our Scottish factory
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Llantwit Major supplied as standard.
After proof approval is obtained, most orders arrive at a Llantwit Major address in two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an well-established packaging manufacturer that has produced print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team making boxes on its own presses.
You approve a proof and, where needed by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders retain the original artwork, ensuring larger quantities require no fresh preparation.
Choosing a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product range maintains simplicity.
You receive one invoice and deal with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging as the default
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable as its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while each sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither is easily recyclable, and both cause disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
No minimum order for Llantwit Major companies
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to finance stock and storage before determining whether a product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Smaller businesses can choose 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 will always receive a written quotation before production starts, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before making a bigger order, ask for a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it sits in your hand.

Tailored packaging Llantwit Major Enquiries
Would you provide specialised packaging to Llantwit Major?
Indeed! We make everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK as standard, including every part of Llantwit Major and across Wales, with no extra fee solely because you are further from the factory.
Which is the least parcel order in Llantwit Major?
There is no minimum order! Choose a single box or several thousand in any format, with prices calculated according to quantity in a written quotation before production begins.
Which packing components can I customise?
Every format allows you complete freedom to adjust the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the resulting packaging matches your brief exactly. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the inside as well as the outside.
Could you provide examples of your parcel goods before I make an order?
Yes. You get a sample printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board seems suitable before authorising a bulk order.
Is the packaging able to be recycled and can it biodegrade?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety demands them, while biodegradable protective materials are employed whenever the format permits.
May I order again the same layout afterwards?
Certainly! Repeat orders utilise the original artwork file, meaning you can increase an order or repeat it for a new season without redesigning the packaging from scratch.
