For what reason opt for custom packaging
A standard box creates unfilled space around the product, enabling it to move noisily during transit until foam or paper is placed to prevent movement.
Conventional packaging with a side sticker is the simplest approach, but it caters to no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Monmouth and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from a single sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
You can order any quantity of what we make, so stock and storage expenses continue to be unnecessary until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Tell us about your packaging needs, and we will tailor the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What tailored packaging signifies
Custom packaging is designed around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print adapted to what you are packing.
You decide the dimensions, allowing a custom-sized box to cradle the product securely instead of allowing it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
Every aspect, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is adapted to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Adding a logo to a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a less ambitious project than completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single run, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely without compromise.
Packing solutions we offer for Monmouth businesses
We produce a full range of packaging boxes, each manufactured to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the suitable box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can walk you through the available options.
Store cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a familiar retail packaging option for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a type of lock box, providing a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat once opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and e-commerce containers
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility through printing on the inside as well as the outside, not merely the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, allowing bulkier items space to rest securely.
Present boxes, sturdy boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products purchased as gifts with the polished presentation customers anticipate, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them themselves.
Gable boxes, with a fold up carry handle, are great for food gifts and hampers!
For premium lines, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the final effect.
Build solutions for your Monmouth company
Each order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts create files ready for print and ensure colours remain true on board, where packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You need not have any previous design experience to develop packaging that represents your brand. We can begin with only a logo. Together, you will establish the structure and produce professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain each technical decision as it arises.
Our online 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 every repeat order remains consistent.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our team handles this as a standard artwork request, just as we would manage any other language or colour amendment.
Personalised packaging for Monmouth’s sectors
Meals and drinks
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, wherever it is manufactured on either side of the border.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, confirming our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions reviewed by retailers prior to welcoming products onto their shelves.
Beverages and liquor producers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has built up a thriving drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit 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.
Make-up and beauty
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts whilst looking presentable on shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges requiring a higher price point to be justified.
E-commerce and membership categories
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a different challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box every month, making a consistent finish just as important as the original design.
Packaging created to match your product’s precise dimensions keeps items secure in transit, reducing damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A tailored insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print remains visible straight away when the box opens.
As a subscription brand places repeat orders each month, retaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Shipping Monmouth right from our Scottish manufacturing facility
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Monmouth included as standard.
After proof approval, most orders reach a Monmouth address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, meaning an long-standing team produces the boxes using its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without starting the process from the beginning.
Employing a single box company for packaging across your entire product range simplifies the process.
You receive one invoice and work via a sole point of contact, rather than chasing multiple suppliers, each offering different prices for separate weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging as typical
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable since its board is able to be recycled.
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 down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
There’s no minimum order for Monmouth enterprises.
Across the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement whatsoever!
Smaller businesses may place an order for one sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price varying at each quantity throughout this range.
You always receive a written quote 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 large order, get a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and its fit in your hand.
