Benefits of choose customised packaging
A regular box creates empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Standard packaging bearing an attached sticker is the simplest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging customised for 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 throughout Maesydre and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door!
We impose no minimum order on anything we make, so you avoid stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Tell us about your packaging needs, and we will customise the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What personalised packaging involves
With custom packaging, your box is created around the product from day one, so its dimensions and print suit exactly what you are packing.
By choosing the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box secures 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 a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, offering a less ambitious project than fully customisable design.
With customised packaging, you are able to change each panel, fold and finish, even with a single run, creating packaging that fits with no compromise.
Packing styles we develop for Maesydre companies
We produce a broad range of packaging boxes, each made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
The best-suited box design and packaging type depend on what you sell and the way it is handled, while our packaging specialists will talk you through the choices!
Store cartons and logoed packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging choice, suitable for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with closure flaps folding into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, made from cardboard and featuring a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Mailer and internet shopping boxes
A bespoke mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while boosting visibility by printing on the inside as well as the outside, not merely the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, allowing bulkier items room to rest securely.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes give products bought as gifts with the refined presentation customers anticipate, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles are suitable for food gifts as well as hampers.
In premium ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Finishes including foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Develop backing for your Maesydre business
Each order provides packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print-ready files and verify that the colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs a greater resolution than a website image.
You don’t need experience in design to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while guiding you through every technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool enables you to personalise a box and check its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders remain consistent.
Need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our team manages it as a standard artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for the Maesydre’s operations
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while 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.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is produced within controlled, traceable processes, satisfying the checks retailers carry out before approving products for listing.
Drinks and liquor producers
Over the last twenty years, Wales has established a distinctive drinks industry, encompassing distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while maintaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing contributing much of the impact for a limited-edition release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare goods and aesthetics of the Maesydre
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, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges requiring a higher price point to be justified.
Internet commerce and recurring tags
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.
The same customer opens an almost identical box every month, which makes a uniform finish just as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and lowers claims for damage and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from moving during transit, while confirming the print is straight away visible when the box is opened.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders monthly, retaining uniform box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Transporting to Maesydre from our Scottish workshop
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Maesydre provided as standard.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Maesydre address generally arrive within two to three weeks, following the timetable for all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its seasoned team creates the boxes on its own presses!
Prior to the start of full production, you get a proof and, when the format calls for it, a physical sample, as reorders retain the same artwork, rendering expansion remarkably simple.
Working with a single box company for packaging throughout your entire product line keeps everything straightforward.
You get one invoice and work with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging as commonplace
Each box we create is completely recyclable, with that recyclability stemming from the board itself.
Our board and paper begin 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 throughout our processes as neither is easily recyclable, and both create disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
Absolutely no minimum order for Maesydre companies.
Across the industry, custom packaging commonly demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before discovering if your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement of any kind!
Smaller businesses may order a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price adjusting at each quantity across this range.
You always get a written quotation before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for ten thousand.
Before placing a bigger order, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it sits in your hand.
