Compelling reasons go with made-to-measure packaging
A regular box leaves space around the product, letting it to rattle during transport until somebody fills the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Standard packaging with a sticker affixed is the straightforward option, but it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Lliswerry and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of the products we make, so stock and storage expenses continue to be unneeded until you have established that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll customise the recommendation to suit the product perfectly.
What custom packaging entails
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the start, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, ensuring a custom-sized box holds the product securely rather than letting it rattle within excess space created by a generic size.
The construction, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to match what is packed and how it is transported.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, involving less work than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for one item, allowing you to create packaging that fits exactly and without compromise.
Wrapping styles we offer for Lliswerry organisations
We create a full range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the suitable 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.
Retail cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging mainstay, designed 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 more robust type of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and improving visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of solely on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, allowing bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Gift packages, rigid cartons and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with additional branded boxes provide gift purchases with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without them needing to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are great for food presents as well as hampers!
For high-end ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, food safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock, while finishes including foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Design backing for your Lliswerry brand
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and check that the colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs a greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin 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 enables you to personalise a box and review its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders stay consistent.
When you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team considers it a routine artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for the Lliswerry’s enterprises
Meals and libations
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef have Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas all food packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured on either side of the border.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that we manufacture food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require before listing products.
Beverages and liquor producers
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 must endure transit while maintaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact required for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Cosmetics and aesthetics of the Lliswerry
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while being prominent on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes are suited to premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
Online shopping and membership companies
Packaging created for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is significant, but, subscription brands encounter a specific challenge.
Because the same customer opens up an almost identical box each month, keeping a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items safe in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
When a subscription brand reorders each month, maintaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an ever more important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Lliswerry from our Scotland manufacturing site
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Lliswerry included as standard.
The majority of orders arrive at a Lliswerry address within two to three weeks after proof approval, using the same timetable as all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff makes the boxes on its own presses.
Prior to the start of full production, you get a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample, as reorders keep the same artwork, making expansion remarkably straightforward.
Choosing one box company for packaging throughout your entire product range preserves simplicity.
Have one invoice and a single point of contact, instead of pursuing multiple suppliers, each offering a different price for another week.
Green packaging as standard
Every box we make is fully recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while every sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both create difficulties with disposal once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in its place.
There is no minimum purchase for Lliswerry firms
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to fund stock and storage prior to establishing whether a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a single sample, limited runs for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the unit price scaling according to the quantity ordered.
You will consistently receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, get a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and its fit in your hand.

Design and proofing. We develop packaging design appropriate for your product, produce the print layout, then supply a proof for your approval.

Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine, subsequently delivered to your Lliswerry address, generally within two to three weeks.
Tailored packaging Lliswerry Common Questions
Do you send tailored packaging to Lliswerry?
Yes. We make every item in Irvine and offer standard delivery throughout the UK, covering every part of Lliswerry and all of Wales, without adding a separate fee for locations farther from the factory.
Which is the least parcel order in Lliswerry?
No minimum order applies. You may order a single box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing scaled to quantity in a written quotation provided before production starts.
Which sections of the packaging can be customised?
Size, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be changed for each format, making sure the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can also include printing on both the interior and outside.
Could you send samples of your parcel products before I submit an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly the same standard as a production run, enabling you to confirm that the colours meet your brief and that the board has the right feel before authorising a bulk order.
Can the packaging be recyclable and does it decompose?
Every box is fully recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling, unless food safety makes them essential, while biodegradable protective materials are offered wherever the format permits.
May someone submit the same artwork later?
Yes, repeat orders use the same artwork file, which means you can raise quantities or prepare packaging for a new season without redesigning everything from scratch.
