Top reasons go for custom packaging
A regular box creates empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transport until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Standard packaging with a sticker attached is the easiest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces custom-made packaging specifically for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish uphold your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Penrhosgarnedd and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order for anything we make, so you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will customise our recommendation specifically to the product in question.
What tailored packaging indicates
With custom packaging, your box is designed around the product from day one, so its dimensions and print suit exactly what you are packing.
Choose your measurements and make a made-to-measure box that keeps the product secure, stopping 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.
Printing your logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a entirely customisable design.
Customised packaging places each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, enabling you to create a bespoke solution that fits perfectly, with no compromise.
Parcel styles which we produce for Penrhosgarnedd firms
We offer an extensive range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging format is dependent on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the available options.
Shop containers and custom packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a standard for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust kind of lock box, constructed from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and internet shopping cartons
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, allowing bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Present boxes, rigid packages and gable packages
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers anticipate, whilst sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are suitable for food gifts as well as hampers.
For high-end ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the outcome.
Create support for your Penrhosgarnedd brand
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print ready files and check that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than a web image.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they determine the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project develops.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency whenever you make a repeat order.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our staff handles this as a routine artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Bespoke packaging for Penrhosgarnedd’s sectors
Cuisine and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers verify prior to listing products.
Drinks and spirit-makers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while maintaining their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing contributing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare goods and personal care of the Penrhosgarnedd
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, whilst providing an attractive presentation on retail shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
E-commerce and recurring businesses
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Because the same client opens an almost identical box monthly, maintaining a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
Effective online retail packaging, made to match your product packaging exactly, keeps goods protected in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, whilst keeping the print in view as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, retaining identical box dimensions helps keep pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly significant consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Shipping to Penrhosgarnedd from our Scottish workroom
All items are produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Penrhosgarnedd supplied as standard.
Most orders reach a Penrhosgarnedd address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a long-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes with its own presses.
You will check a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Employing a sole box company for your full product range makes packaging.
You get one invoice and deal with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging as typical
Each box we make is 100% recyclable since the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, whilst an audited supply chain traces each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is easy to recycle and both create disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised in their place.
Zero minimum quantity for Penrhosgarnedd firms.
Throughout the industry, custom packaging commonly requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you must finance stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
We require no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses can begin with a single sample, place a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is established, while unit pricing scales across every quantity in between.
You always receive a written quotation before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are identical to those supplied for ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.

Tailored packaging Penrhosgarnedd FAQs
Can you deliver customised packaging to Penrhosgarnedd?
Yes. We manufacture every item in Irvine and provide standard delivery across the UK, covering every part of Penrhosgarnedd and all of Wales, without adding a separate fee for locations farther from the factory.
What’s the smallest order needed for packaging through Penrhosgarnedd?
There is no minimum order! Select one box or several thousand in any format, with prices calculated according to quantity in a written quote before production begins.
Which sections of the packaging can I tailor?
Each format allows changes to size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the packaging matches your brief exactly. Branded packaging can additionally be printed on both the interior and exterior.
Can you supply demonstrations of your packaging items before I place an order?
Certainly. The sample is printed and finished to precisely the same standard as a production run, enabling you to confirm that the colours meet your brief and that the board has the correct feel before authorising a bulk order.
Is the packaging able to be recycled and can it break down naturally?
Every packaging box is fully recyclable. We omit plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are made available when the format allows.
May someone place another order for the same design at a later time?
Yes, repeat orders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for another season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
