Why opt for go with individually designed packaging
A regular box leaves room around the product, allowing it to move about during transport until somebody fills the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Conventional packaging with a side sticker is the easiest route, but it serves no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio makes bespoke packaging for your product, making sure that the box, print and finish enhance your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Mountain Ash 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 have no minimum order for anything we make, meaning you avoid stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to fit the product perfectly.
What tailored packaging indicates
Bespoke packaging is created around your product from the beginning, with its size and print tailored to what you are packing.
Select the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to secure the product firmly without unnecessary movement caused by 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!
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, representing a less substantial undertaking than a fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, including a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Wrapping formats we produce for Mountain Ash firms
We supply an wide range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the suitable box style and packaging format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Retail cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging mainstay, designed for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier kind of lock box, made from cardboard and featuring a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and online retail packages
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network while turning delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of solely on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Gift boxes, rigid boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products purchased as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, while sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food presents as well as 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 result.
Create guidance for your Mountain Ash enterprise
Each order comes with packaging design assistance, irrespective 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 higher resolution than website imagery.
You need no previous design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Beginning with no more than a logo, our team creates the structure and produces expertly designed, print-ready artwork alongside you, clarifying every technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool enables you to personalise a box and preview its appearance on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders stay consistent.
If packaging is required in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Mountain Ash’s own industries
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that we manufacture food packaging in controlled, traceable conditions, meeting the checks retailers require prior to listing products.
Refreshments and alcohol producers
During the past twenty years, Wales has developed a flourishing drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing contributing much of the impact for a limited-edition release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and personal care
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while being prominent on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging using soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range feel worthy of its higher price point.
Online shopping and recurring categories
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Since the same customer opens an almost identical box every month, maintaining a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, produced exactly to fit your product packaging, holds items secure in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from moving during transit, while confirming the print is straight away visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, keeping consistent box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Sending to Mountain Ash from our Scotland workroom
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Mountain Ash.
Following proof approval, the majority of orders arrive at a Mountain Ash address within two to three weeks, matching our packaging delivery schedule throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, which means an established team makes the boxes with 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.
Using one box company for packaging throughout your entire product line keeps everything straightforward.
You have a single invoice and a single dedicated point of contact, rather than pursuing several suppliers, each giving a different price for a different week.
Environmentally friendly packaging by default setting
Each box we make is entirely recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, where every sheet tracked 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 as neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
Zero minimum order for Mountain Ash firms
Across the industry, custom packaging often 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 minimum order requirement at all.
Small 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 price per unit adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
Prior to production begins, you will always receive a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in volume, request a printed sample and inspect its print, colour and how it sits in your hand.
