Why opt for select customised packaging
A conventional box leaves room around the product, causing it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with a label affixed to its side may be convenient, but it is intended for no particular audience.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Oakdale and the surrounding valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of what we make, so stock and storage costs continue to be unnecessary until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to fit the product perfectly.
What custom packaging means
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the start, meaning that its size and printing reflect exactly what you are packing.
By selecting the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box holds the product firmly, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Every element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box constitutes personalised packaging, a less extensive undertaking than fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for one item, allowing you to create packaging that fits precisely and without compromise.
Packaging styles we produce for Oakdale companies
We provide an wide range of packaging boxes, manufactured to custom dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the correct box style and packaging type depends on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the options available.
Retail cartons and custom branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging format for less heavy products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust form of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and internet retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility as it is printed inside and out, not solely across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, creating additional depth so bulkier items can rest securely without moving.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and carton boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging provide gifts with the presentation customers anticipate, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, with a handle which folds up, are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the result.
Create support for your Oakdale business.
Every order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print ready files and confirm that colours are reproduced accurately on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than a web image.
You do not need prior design experience to create packaging that represents your brand. Our team can start with just a logo, define the structure and produce expertly designed artwork prepared for print working with you, explaining each technical decision when it arises.
Our digital design tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is available too, helping each repeat order stay consistent.
If you require packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team considers this to be a routine artwork requirement and manages it in the same way we would any other language or colour alteration.
Bespoke packaging for the Oakdale’s enterprises
Nourishment and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact requirements, regardless of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We have 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 distilleries
Throughout Wales, a thriving 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 endure transit while maintaining 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.
Skincare products and personal care products
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that safeguard 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.
Internet commerce and membership labels
Packaging intended for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is significant, however, subscription brands encounter a particular challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box each month, which makes a uniform finish as important as the initial design.
Packaging created 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 keeps the product secure in transit, while the print remains in view as soon as the box is opened.
For a subscription brand placing repeat orders monthly, keeping uniform box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more important consideration as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Delivering to Oakdale from our Scottish atelier
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Oakdale included as standard.
Following proof approval, most orders reach a Oakdale address within two to three weeks, matching 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, which means an established team creates the boxes with its own presses.
You check a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders retain the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your entire product range streamlines the process.
Enjoy one invoice and one point of contact, instead of pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for another week.
Ethical packaging as standard
Every box we produce is completely recyclable, with that recyclability inherent in the board itself.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while every sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We’re cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither recycles easily, while both cause disposal headaches once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place.
Zero minimum order for Oakdale organisations
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to fund stock and storage prior to determining whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can order one sample, a limited trial run, or a complete production batch once they have proved demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout the 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 identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before committing to a greater quantity, obtain a printed sample and evaluate the print, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Personalised packaging Oakdale Frequently Asked Questions
Do you all offer custom packaging shipment to Oakdale?
Yes! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver across the UK by default, including every part of Oakdale and across Wales, with no extra charge simply because you are farther from the factory.
What’s is the least packing order in Oakdale?
There is no minimum order. Whether you need one box or several thousand in any format, you will receive quantity based pricing via a written quote before production begins.
Which wrapping features can I tailor?
Every format allows adjustments to size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can also be printed on both the interior and exterior.
Could we receive specimens of your packing products before ordering?
Yes. You get a sample printed and finished precisely as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours satisfy your brief and the board seems suitable before authorising a bulk order.
Is the packaging recyclable and biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are used whenever the format allows.
Is it possible to I reorder the same pattern at a later time?
Yes, reorders are made from the same artwork file, so expanding an order or placing it again for a new season never requires the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
