Why pick bespoke packs
A regular box leaves space around the item, allowing it to move about during transit until someone fills the space with foam or paper to hold it still.
Standard packaging with a sticker on the side is the easiest route, but it caters to no particular customer.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging customised for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Mynydd-Bach and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, enabling you to set stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Tell us about your packaging needs, and we will tailor the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What tailored packaging signifies
With custom packaging, your box is created around the product from day one, so its dimensions and print suit exactly what you are packing.
Choose your dimensions and make a made-to-measure box that keeps the product secure, preventing it from rattling about in the unused space of a standard-sized box.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
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 tailored, even for a single run, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly without any compromise.
Wrapping options we offer for Mynydd-Bach businesses
We provide an comprehensive range of packaging boxes, produced to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the appropriate box style and packaging type hinges on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging experts will guide you through the available options.
Retail boxes and logo packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging mainstay, designed for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps which tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of lock box, constructed from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Present boxes, durable boxes and pitched-top boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and additional branded boxes provide presents with polished presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles suit food gifts as well as hampers.
For high-end 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 enhance further the result.
Craft guidance for your Mynydd-Bach business
Each order comes with packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print-ready files and verify that colours are reproduced accurately on board, as packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You don’t need experience in design to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while guiding you through every technical decision along the way.
Our web-based tool allows 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.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement and manages it in the same way we would any other language or colour alteration.
Tailored packaging for Mynydd-Bach’s specialised industries
Nourishment and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions reviewed by retailers before stocking products onto their shelves.
Beverages and distilleries
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a genuine drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to more recent gin and whisky producers further north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit and look smart on the shelf too! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and aesthetics
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while being prominent 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 point.
Internet commerce and recurring brands
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products are held in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Each month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, making a consistent finish just as important as the initial design.
Packaging designed to match your product’s exact dimensions keeps items secure during transit, lowering damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, while ensuring the print is straight away visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand placing repeat orders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an increasingly significant factor as volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Sending to Mynydd-Bach from our Scottish workshop
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with UK delivery to businesses in Mynydd-Bach included by default.
Most orders reach a Mynydd-Bach address within two to three weeks after proof approval, following 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 on its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample prior to full production begins. Reorders retain the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Employing a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product range streamlines the process.
You have a single invoice and a single contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging as expected
Each box we make is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
We obtain our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties after a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
No minimum order for Mynydd-Bach firms
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to fund stock and storage before ascertaining whether the product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement.
Smaller businesses can begin with a single sample, place a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is confirmed, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
Prior to production begins, you will always receive a written quote. The high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to committing to a larger quantity, obtain a printed sample and evaluate the print, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Is the packaging suitable for recycling and biodegradable?
