Why pick personalised packaging?
A conventional box creates space around the product, making it rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to stop movement.
Conventional packaging with a label applied to its side might be convenient, but it is intended for no particular audience.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging customised for your product, making sure the box, print and finish reinforce your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Pontardawe and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of what we make, so inventory and storage costs continue to be unnecessary until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What custom packaging signifies
Custom packaging shapes the box around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
By choosing the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box secures the product securely, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and the way it travels.
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, including a single item, helping you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Wrapping types we offer for Pontardawe firms
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork!
Choosing the correct box style and packaging type depends on your product and the way it is handled. Our packaging specialists will take you through the available options.
Commercial containers and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a retail packaging standard, ideal for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier form of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and ecommerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility as it is printed on the inside and outside, not solely across the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and roof-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products purchased as gifts the refined presentation customers anticipate, while saving them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the finished effect.
Create guidance for your Pontardawe brand
We provide packaging design support with every order, irrespective of your artwork’s current stage.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print ready files and verify that colours are reproduced accurately on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than a website image.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Together, they create the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while supporting you through each technical decision along the way.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and preview its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps each repeat order consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards it as a routine artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Specialised packaging for Pontardawe’s unique industries
Food and libations
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions reviewed by retailers before welcoming products onto their shelves.
Refreshments and liquor producers
During the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes have to survive transit and appear smart on the shelf too! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare products and make-up items
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts while being prominent on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging incorporating soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that needs to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and subscription companies
Retail and display packaging is important when a product is placed in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands face a different assessment.
As the same customer unpacks an almost identical box each month, keeping a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
Efficient online retail packaging, produced to correspond to your product packaging precisely, keeps goods protected during transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely in transit, while the print remains in view once the box is opened.
When a subscription brand reorders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an increasingly important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Shipping to Pontardawe from our Scotland facility
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Pontardawe.
Following proof approval, most orders arrive at a Pontardawe address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule 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 using its own presses!
You receive a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without starting the process from the beginning.
Using one box company for packaging throughout your whole product range preserves simplicity.
You have one invoice and a single contact, avoiding the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Sustainable packaging as routine
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable as the board itself makes possible that recyclability.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits trace every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is readily recyclable, while both present disposal challenges after a parcel has been opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
Not any minimum order size for Pontardawe enterprises
Throughout a large part of the industry, custom packaging demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before ascertaining whether the product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or move on to full production once demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity throughout this range.
You are sent a written quotation before production starts, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, request a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.

Personalised packaging Pontardawe Common Questions
Will you ship bespoke packaging to Pontardawe?
Indeed! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK by default, including every part of Pontardawe and throughout Wales, with no extra charge solely because you are further from the factory.
Which is the minimum packaging order at Pontardawe?
There’s no minimum order requirement. You can order one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing determined by quantity and confirmed in writing before production begins.
Which wrapping features can I customise?
Each aspect of the format, such as size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, ensuring that the packaging aligns precisely with your brief. Branded packaging may also be printed internally and externally.
Could you supply packaging item demonstrations ahead of I place an order?
Certainly! Your sample is delivered printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check the colours satisfy your brief and make sure the board feels right before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging suitable for recycling and compostable?
All packaging boxes are completely recyclable. We omit plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are offered when the format permits.
May we reorder the same layout at a later date?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so expanding an order or placing it again for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
