Why opt for customised packaging
A typical box leaves room around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gaps with paper or foam to hold it still.
Basic packaging bearing an attached sticker is the easiest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
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 create custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Pontarddulais and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door!
We do not require a minimum order for any item we produce, allowing you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is determined.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will customise our recommendation specifically to the product in question.
What personalised packaging means
Custom packaging begins with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit precisely what you are packing.
Choose your measurements and create a custom-sized box that keeps the product snug, preventing it from rattling about in the unused space of a generic-sized box.
The construction, board weight, print and finish are tailored to suit what is packed and how it travels.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, involving less work than a fully customisable design.
Tailored packaging puts each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, allowing you to create a customised solution that fits perfectly, with no compromise.
Wrapping solutions which we develop for Pontarddulais enterprises
We manufacture a complete range of packaging boxes, tailored to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging type hinges on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging experts will take you through the available options.
Store boxes and brand packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a familiar retail packaging choice for lightweight products, including cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold tidily into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Mailer and electronic commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and enhancing visibility, with printing inside and outside rather than solely on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, rigid cartons and pitched boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give presents with the presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium lines, 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 final effect.
Craft support for your Pontarddulais business
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
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 higher resolution than a web image.
Prior design experience is not necessary to create packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with no more than a logo, creating the structure and expertly designed, ready to print artwork alongside you, while explaining each technical decision in clear terms as it comes up.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before printing. We also provide Pantone colour matching, keeping every repeat order consistent.
If packaging is needed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for the Pontarddulais’s industries
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef each hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas packaging that contacts meat or dairy must meet 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 manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Drinks and spirit-making locations
Across Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has emerged over the last twenty years, stretching from Brecon Beacons distilleries to more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact required for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Personal care items and cosmetics
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts while presenting well on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes are suitable for premium ranges that must support a higher price point.
Online shopping and recurring tags
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products are held in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, which makes a consistent finish just as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, maintains items secure during transit and reduces claims for damage and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the design is immediately visible when the box opens.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more significant consideration as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Delivering to Pontarddulais from our Scotland factory
All items is produced at our Irvine site, with UK delivery to companies in Pontarddulais included as standard.
The majority of orders arrive at a Pontarddulais address within two to three weeks following proof approval, keeping to the same timetable as our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer that has produced print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team producing boxes on its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders retain the same artwork, so scaling up never requires again.
Employing a single box company for your entire product range simplifies packaging.
It all passes through one invoice and one point of contact, saving you from the frustration of chasing several suppliers quoting varying prices for different weeks.
Green packaging automatically
Every box we produce is entirely recyclable, because of the board it is made from.
Our board and paper begin with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while every sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are minimising single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both create difficulties with disposal once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protective materials are employed in their place.
No minimum quantity for Pontarddulais organisations.
Across a large part of the industry, custom packaging demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to finance stock and storage before determining whether the product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may place an order for one sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
You will always receive a written quotation prior to production commencing, 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 purchasing in bulk, request a printed sample and inspect its printing, colour and how it sits in your hand.
