Why go for tailored packaging?
A standard box has space around the product, allowing it to move about during transit until someone fills the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Conventional packaging with a label affixed to its side may be convenient, yet it is intended for no specific audience.
Custom Pack Studio designs tailored packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish complement your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Manselton and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of what we make, so stock and storage costs remain unnecessary until you have established that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging means
Custom packaging starts with a box specifically designed for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect its contents.
You choose the dimensions, so that a made-to-measure box holds the product securely rather than allowing it to rattle within excess space created by a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are individually designed too to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, providing a more modest project than fully customisable design.
With tailored packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be adjusted, even for just one unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Package methods we design for Manselton enterprises
We make a full range of packaging boxes, each manufactured to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the appropriate box style and packaging type hinges on your product and the way it is handled. Our packaging specialists will take you through the available options.
Commercial packages and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging mainstay, intended for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat upon opening, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Mailer and internet shopping boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network while turning delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than solely on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, providing additional depth so bulkier items can sit securely without shifting.
Present boxes, robust boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with additional branded boxes provide gift purchases with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, supplied with a handle that folds upwards, make an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than conventional carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can further enhance the outcome.
Build support for your Manselton enterprise
Every order includes packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print ready files and verify that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging needs greater resolution than a web image.
You do not need previous design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Beginning with nothing more than a logo, our team creates the structure and produces professionally designed, print-ready artwork with you, clarifying every technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool lets you customise a box and preview its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains every repeat order consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team considers it a standard artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for the Manselton’s industries
Fare and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef have Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured on either side of the border.
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.
Refreshments and spirit-making establishments
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a flourishing drinks scene, covering Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and beauty products
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, while providing an appealing display on retail shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
E-commerce and recurring companies
Packaging intended for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, yet, subscription brands encounter a specific challenge.
Every month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, rendering a uniform finish just as important as the original design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, tailored precisely to your product packaging, secures items in transit while reducing damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from moving during transport, while making sure the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that places monthly reorders, maintaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an ever more valuable advantage once volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Sending to Manselton from our Scotland facility
All products are manufactured within our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Manselton.
After proof approval is confirmed, the majority of orders arrive at a Manselton address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of 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 team produces the boxes on its own presses.
You’ll review a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Using one box company for packaging throughout your whole product line makes everything straightforward.
You have one invoice and a single contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Renewable packaging as routine
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 each sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easily recyclable, and both create disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
There’s no minimum quantity for Manselton businesses.
Across the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement of any kind!
Small businesses may order a one sample, limited runs for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the unit price scaling according to the quantity ordered.
Before production begins, you will always receive a written quote. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before purchasing in bulk, request a printed sample and examine its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
