How come pick bespoke packaging
A standard box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone packs the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Standard packaging with a sticker is easy, but it is designed for no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates tailored packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of covering it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Mold and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of the products we make, so inventory and storage expenses continue to be unneeded until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What personalised packaging covers
Custom packaging begins with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit precisely what you are packing.
Choose your measurements and make a made-to-measure box that keeps the product secure, stopping it from rattling around in the unoccupied space of a standard-sized box.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo onto a stock box constitutes personalised packaging, a less extensive undertaking than completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, including a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Packaging types we create for Mold enterprises
We manufacture a complete range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour featuring your artwork.
Selecting the most appropriate box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will clearly explain.
Store cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, designed for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps which tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust form of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and online retail containers
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility through printing on both its interior and exterior, not just its outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer extra depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely without moving.
Surprise boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded boxes give purchases made as gifts with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit food gifts as well as hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the final effect.
Build solutions for your Mold enterprise
Every order comes with packaging design support, regardless of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and confirm that colours are reproduced correctly on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
You do not need any prior experience in design to create packaging that represents your brand. We can start with only a logo. Together, you will establish the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain every technical decision as it arises.
Our web-based tool lets you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it goes to print, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order remains consistent.
When your packaging requires English and Welsh text, our staff manages this as a routine artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Bespoke packaging for Mold’s sectors
Meals and refreshment
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold 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.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before listing products.
Tipples and spirit producers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while retaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and grooming products for Mold
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts whilst presenting well on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range seem worthy of its higher price.
E-commerce and recurring businesses
Packaging intended for retail display is important when a product sits in a store or marketplace fulfilment centre, but subscription brands face an completely different challenge.
Each month, the same customer revisits an nearly identical box, making a dependable finish equally important as the initial design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A tailored insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print remains immediately visible as the box opens.
When a subscription brand places repeat orders each month, retaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Supplying to Mold from our Scotland workspace
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Mold provided as standard.
The majority of orders arrive at a Mold address within two to three weeks following proof approval, keeping to the same timetable as our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff makes the boxes on its own presses.
Before full production begins, you receive a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample, while reorders retain the same artwork, rendering expansion remarkably simple.
Working with one box company for packaging throughout your entire product line keeps everything uncomplicated.
Everything passes through a single invoice and one point of contact, sparing you the frustration of pursuing multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Renewable packaging as usual practice
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable because its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits trace each sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both create disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
No minimum requirement for Mold firms.
Across the industry, custom packaging commonly requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you must finance stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
There is no requirement for a minimum order .
Small businesses may order a single 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.
Before production starts, you will invariably receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to assess its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.

Personalised packaging Mold FAQ
Can you supply bespoke packaging to Mold?
Yes. We produce each product in Irvine, then deliver throughout the UK as standard, reaching each corner of Mold and the whole of Wales without applying a additional fee because the destination lies further from our factory.
What the minimum order for packaging at Mold?
No minimum order! Choose a single box or several thousand in any format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quotation before production starts.
Which elements of the packaging can be modified?
Size, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be adjusted for each format, making sure the packaging meets your brief precisely. Branded packaging can also include printing on both the interior and exterior.
Would you supply packing goods demonstrations in advance of we submit an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to precisely replicate a production run, enabling you to confirm that its colours meet your brief and that the board feels suitable prior to approving a bulk order.
Is the container able to be recycled and biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format permits.
Is it possible to one place the identical Mold design request in the future?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season never requires the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
