Why choose personalised packaging?
A standard box has space around the item, allowing it to move about during transport until somebody fills the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Conventional packaging with an adhesive label is straightforward, but it is designed for nobody in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Malpas and the nearby valleys, with order quantities spanning one sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
You can order any quantity of the products we make, so stock and storage costs remain unnecessary until you have established that a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What tailored packaging entails
Custom packaging starts with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect what it contains.
By selecting the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box holds the product securely, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are individually designed too to suit the contents and their journey.
Adding a logo to a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a less ambitious project than completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, you are able to alter every panel, fold and finish, even with a single run, producing packaging that fits without compromise.
Packing types we create for Malpas organisations
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, each made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging type hinges on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging specialists will take you through the options available.
Shop cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a well-known retail packaging option for lightweight products, including cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger type of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery into an extension of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not solely its outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, creating extra depth to keep bigger items firmly in place.
Keepsake boxes, sturdy boxes and roof-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the refined presentation customers expect, while sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food presents and 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 enhance the overall effect.
Create help for your Malpas enterprise
Each order includes packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts prepare print-ready files and verify that the colours remain accurate on board, because packaging requires a higher resolution than a website image.
Prior design experience is not necessary to produce packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with nothing more than a logo, developing the structure and expertly designed, ready to print artwork alongside you, while explaining each technical decision clearly as it comes up.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing starts. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping each repeat order remain consistent.
If you require packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a routine artwork requirement and manages it just as we would any other language or colour alteration.
Bespoke packaging for Malpas’s businesses
Food and libations
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Drinks and distilleries
Over the past twenty years, Wales has established a distinctive drinks industry, spanning distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transportation while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact needed for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Beauty treatments and skincare products
Cosmetics and skincare companies require cartons that protect delicate glass packaging and compacts whilst presenting an attractive appearance on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges that need to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and recurring brands
Packaging designed for retail display matters when a product is located in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, but subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Because the same customer opens an nearly identical box each month, maintaining 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 claims for damage and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product shifting in transit, whilst keeping the print in view once the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, using uniform box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly valuable advantage once volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Sending to Malpas from our Scotland studio
Everything is produced at our Irvine site, with delivery across the UK to businesses in Malpas provided as standard.
After your proof is accepted, most orders are delivered to a Malpas address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timeframe for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established team produces the boxes on its own presses.
You examine a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders retain the same artwork, meaning that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Employing one box company for packaging across your entire range of products makes everything simple.
You have one invoice and a single dedicated point of contact, rather than pursuing several suppliers, each quoting a different price for a different week.
Environmentally friendly packaging as standard
Every box we produce is fully recyclable, with that recyclability inherent in the board itself.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, whilst an audited supply chain traces every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because 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.
Not any minimum order for Malpas businesses
Across the industry, custom packaging commonly requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before finding out if your product will sell.
There is no requirement for a minimum order .
Smaller businesses can opt for a one sample, a brief trial run, or a full production run after demand is proven, with per-unit pricing scaling across every quantity in between.
Prior to production starts, you will always receive a written quotation, while the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty remain identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.

Personalised packaging Malpas FAQ
Would you offer custom packaging to Malpas?
Yes. Everything is made in Irvine, with standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Malpas and throughout Wales. We make no additional charge for distance from the factory.
What’s is the minimum packaging order in Malpas?
There is no minimum order requirement. You can order one box or several thousand in any format, with pricing determined by quantity and confirmed in writing before production starts.
Which packing parts can I tailor?
Every format can be customised in terms of size, structure, board weight, print and finish, making sure your packaging fits the brief perfectly. Looking to make an impact? Your branded packaging order can include printing both inside and outside.
Can I get samples of your wrapping goods before placing an order?
Yes. You receive a sample printed and finished precisely as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board seems suitable before approving a bulk order.
Could the packaging prove to be recyclable as well as can it prove biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless they are necessary for food safety, and biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format permits.
Can I place another order for the same style later?
Indeed, reorders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
