Why it’s wise to pick individually designed packaging
A standard box provides space around the product, allowing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Conventional packaging with a sticker on the side is the simplest route, but it serves no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging expressly for your product, making sure the box, print and finish uphold your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Newbridge and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, allowing you to leave stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will customise our recommendation precisely to the product in question.
What personalised packaging covers
With custom packaging, your box is designed around the product from the outset, so its dimensions and print suit exactly what you are packing.
You choose the measurements, enabling a custom-sized box to keep the product securely without movement resulting from surplus space in a standard size.
Each element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is adapted to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, involving less work than a fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you can change each panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, creating packaging that fits without compromise.
Packing methods we develop for Newbridge firms
We manufacture a complete range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
The best-suited box style and packaging type are based on what you sell and the way it is handled, while our packaging experts will talk you through the options!
Retail cartons and custom branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that tuck in at both the upper end and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier form of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Delivery and internet commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Surprise boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products purchased as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium lines, 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 finished effect.
Create support for your Newbridge identity
Every order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and verify that the colours stay accurate on board, as packaging needs a higher resolution than a website image.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while guiding you through every technical decision throughout the process.
Our web-based tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it reaches print, while Pantone colour matching ensures every repeat order stays consistent.
When you require packaging printed bilingually in English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Newbridge’s enterprises
Eats and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
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.
Drinks and distilleries
Across Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has developed during the past twenty years, extending from Brecon Beacons distilleries to more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes have to survive transit and look smart on the shelf too! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing provide much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and personal care
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts whilst looking good on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes pair with premium ranges intended to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and subscription labels
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a different challenge.
Every month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, making a consistent finish every bit as important as the original design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, tailored precisely to your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit while cutting damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product secure in transit, while the print stays in view once the box is opened.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining one box size. This becomes increasingly important when order volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering Newbridge straight from our Scottish plant
Everything is produced at our Irvine site, with delivery across the UK to businesses in Newbridge provided as standard.
After your proof is accepted, most orders are delivered to a Newbridge address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timescale for our packaging 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 creates the boxes with its own presses.
Prior to the start of full production, you receive a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample, while reorders retain the same artwork, rendering expansion remarkably straightforward.
Using a single box company for packaging across your entire product range preserves simplicity.
You get one invoice and work with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Green packaging as routine
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable as the board itself makes possible that recyclability.
We source our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each 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 as neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
No minimum order quantity for Newbridge firms
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you must fund stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
There is no requirement for a minimum order .
Small businesses can choose a single sample, a short trial run, or a complete production run after demand is proven, with per-unit pricing scaling across each quantity in between.
Before production begins, you will always receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty remain identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, obtain a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and its fit in your hand.

Personalised boxing Newbridge Common Questions
Will you send personalised packaging to Newbridge?
Yes. We manufacture every product in Irvine, and then deliver throughout the UK as standard, reaching each corner of Newbridge and all of Wales without applying a additional charge because the destination lies further from our factory.
What is the smallest order required for packaging with Newbridge?
There is no minimum order. We can produce a single box or thousands in whatever format, with quantity-based pricing confirmed in a written quotation before manufacture begins.
Which packing elements can I modify?
Dimensions, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be customised for every format, making sure the designed packaging fulfils your brief precisely. A branded packaging order can also be printed on both the inside and outside.
Is it possible that I obtain samples of your packing goods before making an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly replicate a production run, enabling you to confirm that its colours satisfy your brief and that the board feels suitable prior to approving a bulk order.
Might the packaging be recyclable as well as can it also be biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety makes them necessary, and biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format allows.
Can one use the same design later?
Indeed, reorders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for another season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
