Reasons opt for bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves spare space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to keep it still.
Conventional packaging with a label applied to its side may be convenient, yet it is intended for no particular audience.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Pentwyn and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the picture until you know that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will customise the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What custom packaging entails
With custom packaging, your box is designed around the product from day one, so its dimensions and print fit precisely what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, so that a made-to-measure box holds the product securely rather than allowing it to rattle within surplus space created by a generic size.
Each aspect, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is adapted to the contents and the way they are transported.
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for one run, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely without compromise.
Packaging solutions we make for Pentwyn ventures
We make a comprehensive range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can walk you through the available options.
Shop cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold inwards at both the upper end and lower end.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, meaning that heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Mailer and internet shopping boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility as it is printed on the inside and outside, not only across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Present boxes, solid boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give presents with the presentation customers anticipate, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, fitted with a handle that folds up, make an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the finished effect.
Develop solutions for your Pentwyn brand
Every order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and branding guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and confirm that colours reproduce correctly on board, as packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they create the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while supporting you through every technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and check its appearance on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders stay consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a routine artwork requirement and handles it just as we would any other language or colour alteration.
Personalised packaging for Pentwyn’s enterprises
Cuisine and drink
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, wherever it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is manufactured in controlled and traceable conditions that retailers verify prior to listing products.
Beverages and spirit-makers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has built up a thriving drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while retaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Makeup and aesthetics of the Pentwyn
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts whilst presenting well on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring brands
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, whereas subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box each month, which makes a consistent finish just as important as the initial design.
Packaging designed to match your product’s precise dimensions keeps items secure during transit, reducing damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transport, as the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand that places repeat orders monthly, maintaining identical box dimensions helps maintain pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Sending to Pentwyn from our Scottish plant
All products are manufactured within our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Pentwyn.
Once your proof is accepted, the majority of orders arrive at a Pentwyn address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timescale for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its seasoned team produces the boxes on its own presses!
You get a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders retain the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your entire product line makes everything simple.
You have a single invoice and one dedicated point of contact, instead of pursuing several suppliers, each giving a different price for a separate week.
Sustainable packaging as a rule
Every box we manufacture is 100% recyclable because the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traceable through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We’re reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither recycles easily, while both cause disposal headaches after a parcel has been opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in place of them.
Zero minimum order for Pentwyn businesses
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage prior to establishing whether a product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Smaller businesses can choose a one sample, a short trial run, or a full production run after demand is demonstrated, with per-unit pricing scaling across every quantity in between.
Before production starts, you will always be sent a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in volume, request a printed sample and examine its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.
