Why opt for bespoke packaging?
A typical box creates spare space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Standard packaging with a sticker affixed is the straightforward choice, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Mount Pleasant and the nearby 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 inventory and storage costs remain unnecessary until you have established that a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What tailor-made packaging entails
Custom packaging starts with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
By selecting the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box holds the product securely, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Each element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is customised for the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
With tailored packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be adjusted, even for a single unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Wrapping types we manufacture for Mount Pleasant organisations
We produce a full range of packaging boxes, tailored to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the most suitable box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will clearly explain.
Store cartons and brand packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a well-known retail packaging choice for lightweight products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shop cartons
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility by printing on both the inside and outside, not merely the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available as well with gussets, providing extra depth so bulkier items can sit securely without shifting.
Present boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products purchased as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, whilst saving them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, featuring a handle which folds upwards, are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, whereas finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the outcome.
Design backing for your Mount Pleasant business
Each order comes with packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and branding guidelines, our design specialists create print-ready files and confirm that colours are reproduced correctly on board, as packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need previous design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Beginning with nothing more than a logo, our team develops the structure and creates expertly designed, print-ready artwork with you, clarifying each technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it is printed, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order remains consistent.
If 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.
Specialised packaging for Mount Pleasant’s industries
Cuisine and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold 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.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that we manufacture food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require prior to listing products.
Beverages and alcohol producers
Throughout Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has developed during the past twenty years, stretching from Brecon Beacons distilleries to newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must survive transit and appear smart on the shelf too! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing deliver much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and glamour
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, whilst creating an appealing display on retail shelves.
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
Retail ready and display packaging serves a purpose when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands encounter an wholly different challenge.
Since the same customer opens an nearly identical box every month, keeping a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging holds products safely during transit, helping to prevent damage, lower claims and minimise returns.
A purpose-made insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print stays immediately visible when the box opens.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can maintain pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining one box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Sending to Mount Pleasant from our Scotland studio
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Mount Pleasant provided as standard.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Mount Pleasant address generally arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team produces the boxes with its own presses.
You’ll review a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Choosing a single box company for packaging across your entire product range preserves simplicity.
You have a single invoice and a single contact, avoiding the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging as the norm
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable because the board itself makes possible that recyclability.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet tracked via an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is readily recyclable, while both pose disposal challenges after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
There is no minimum buy for Mount Pleasant firms.
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, forcing you to fund stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever.
Small businesses can begin with one sample, place a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is confirmed, while unit pricing scales across every quantity in between.
You will always receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to the ones supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.

Personalised packaging Mount Pleasant FAQ
Will you deliver personalised packaging to Mount Pleasant?
Yes! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver across the UK as standard, including every part of Mount Pleasant and throughout Wales, with no additional charge simply because you are farther from the factory.
Which would be the minimum packaging order at Mount Pleasant?
There is no minimum order. We can manufacture a single box or thousands in any format, with quantity-based pricing confirmed in a written quotation before manufacture starts.
Which packaging components can I customise?
Each format gives you complete flexibility to change the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, making sure the resulting packaging matches your brief precisely. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the inside as well as the outside.
Could you offer packing product examples in advance of we put in an order?
Of course! Your sample is delivered printed and finished precisely as it would be in production, allowing you to verify the colours satisfy your brief and make sure the board feels right before authorising a bulk order.
Might the packaging prove to be recyclable and can it also be biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format permits.
Can one put in the exact Mount Pleasant design order later on?
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.
