Advantages of opt for tailor-made packaging
A standard box leaves empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transport until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be straightforward, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates tailored packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of covering it.
We create custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Pentyrch and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door!
You can order any quantity of the products we make, so inventory and storage expenses remain unnecessary until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What personalised packaging means
Custom packaging begins with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to cradle the product securely rather than allowing it rattle through the empty space of a generic size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are tailored to match the packed contents and how it travels.
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, but it is a less extensive project than a completely customisable design.
Tailored packaging puts every panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, allowing you to create a bespoke solution that fits precisely, with no compromise.
Packaging types we produce for Pentyrch ventures
We supply an wide range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the most suitable box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will explain clearly.
Shop cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging type for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place 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, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and e-commerce boxes
A bespoke mailer box protects your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than only across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available as well with gussets, creating additional depth so bulkier items can rest securely without shifting.
Present boxes, solid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give presents with the presentation customers expect, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food presents and hampers!
For premium 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 outcome.
Develop assistance for your Pentyrch label
Every order comes with packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Have a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts produce print ready files, checking that colours stay accurate on board because packaging demands higher resolution than a website image.
Prior design experience is not required to create packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can begin with no more than a logo, developing the structure and expertly designed, ready to print artwork alongside you, while clarifying each technical decision clearly as it arises.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps each repeat order consistent.
If packaging is required in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, managing it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Specialised packaging for Pentyrch’s industries
Dishes and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas food packaging contacting meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is produced on either side of the border.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is produced within controlled and traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers undertake prior to approving products for listing.
Drinks and liquor producers
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a thriving drinks scene, covering Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and aesthetics
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts while presenting well on shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement a premium range that needs to support a higher price point.
Electronic commerce and recurring payment brands
Packaging created for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres matters, however, subscription brands encounter a particular challenge.
Every month, the same customer revisits an almost identical box, making a dependable finish equally important as the initial design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging holds products safely in transit, helping to prevent damage, lower claims and limit returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand placing repeat orders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an ever more important consideration as volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Sending to Pentyrch from our Scottish craft space
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Pentyrch provided as standard.
After your proof is accepted, most orders are delivered to a Pentyrch address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timeframe for our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an well-established packaging manufacturer that has been producing print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team making boxes on its own presses.
You get a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Employing a sole box company for packaging across your whole product range makes the process straightforward.
Have a single invoice and one point of contact, rather than seeking out multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for another week.
Earth-friendly packaging as routine
Every box we make is 100% recyclable as the board itself makes possible that recyclability.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track each sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is easily recyclable, and both cause disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised instead.
No minimum minimum order size for Pentyrch enterprises
Across the industry, custom packaging commonly requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to pay for stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever.
Small businesses may order one sample, commission a limited trial run, or move on to full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity throughout this range.
You always get a written quote before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, request a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.
