Reasons opt for personalised packaging
A regular box leaves space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gaps with paper or foam to hold it in place.
Choosing 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 for your product, ensuring that the box, print and finish enhance your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Mayhill 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 require no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the picture until you know whether a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will customise the recommendation to suit the product precisely.
What personalised packaging entails
With custom packaging, your box is designed around the product from the outset, 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.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to suit what is being packed and the way it travels!
Adding a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, but it is a less extensive project than a completely customisable design.
Using customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, including a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Package formats we design for Mayhill organisations
We produce a comprehensive range of packaging boxes, each produced to custom dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the appropriate box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Shop cartons and tailor-made brand packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging format for less heavy products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Posting and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, giving bulkier items space to sit securely.
Gift boxes, robust boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give presents a polished presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, complete with a handle that folds upwards, are 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 standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can further enhance the result.
Develop backing for your Mayhill company
Each order comes with packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and branding guidelines, our design experts produce print-ready files and verify that colours reproduce accurately on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need prior design experience to develop packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo, define the structure and create expertly designed artwork prepared for print working with you, clarifying each technical decision when it arises.
Our web-based tool lets you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it is printed, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order remains consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards it as a usual artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Mayhill’s businesses
Cuisine and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef have Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured on either side of the border.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is produced within controlled, traceable processes, satisfying the checks retailers conduct before approving products for listing.
Refreshments and spirit-makers
Throughout Wales, a thriving drinks culture has developed over the last twenty years, extending from Brecon Beacons distilleries to more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles must withstand 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.
Beauty products and grooming
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect delicate glass and compacts while presenting attractively on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring businesses
Retail and display packaging is significant when a product is positioned in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands face a different evaluation.
Every month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, making a uniform finish every bit as important as the initial design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging keeps products securely during transit, helping prevent damage, reduce claims and minimise returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the design is straight away visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Dispatching to Mayhill from our Scotland atelier
All items are made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Mayhill provided as standard.
The majority of orders reach a Mayhill address within two to three weeks following proof approval, keeping to the same timetable as our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, where a seasoned team creates boxes using its own presses.
You approve a proof and, where needed by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders keep the original artwork, ensuring larger quantities require no new preparation.
Employing a one box company for packaging across your whole product range streamlines the process.
Have one invoice and a single point of contact, rather than seeking out multiple suppliers, each offering a different price for another week.
Renewable packaging as the norm
Every box we produce is entirely recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet traceable through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easy to recycle, and both create disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
There is no minimum order for Mayhill firms.
Throughout the sector, custom packaging often necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever!
Small businesses may order one sample, commission a limited trial run, or move on to full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity across this range.
You are sent a written quote before production begins, 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.
Prior to ordering in volume, request a printed sample and inspect its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.
