Why it’s wise to choose personalised packaging
A standard box leaves spare space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Basic packaging with a sticker attached is the simplest choice, but it is designed for no one specifically.
Custom Pack Studio creates custom-made packaging for your product, ensuring that the box, print and finish enhance your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Pontprennau and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from one sample to a complete pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order on anything we produce, so you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation precisely to the product concerned.
What personalised packaging signifies
Custom packaging begins with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
You select the dimensions, allowing a custom-sized box to keep the product securely without movement caused by surplus space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also custom designed, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, requiring less work than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, you can change every panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, producing packaging that fits with no compromise.
Packing types we make for Pontprennau companies
We manufacture a wide selection of packaging boxes, each made to custom dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the suitable style of box and packaging format is dependent on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the available options.
Retail cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a common retail packaging choice, suited to lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements, with closure flaps folding into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and digital shop cartons
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network, while making delivery into an extension of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not solely its outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, allowing bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Keepsake boxes, sturdy boxes and roof-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and additional branded boxes give purchases made as gifts with the presentation shoppers anticipate, without them needing to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes, fitted with a handle that folds up, are an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while finishes including foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Design assistance for your Pontprennau identity
Every order includes packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Have a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts create print ready files, checking that colours remain accurate on board because packaging demands higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Working together, they determine the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, detailing each technical decision as the project develops.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and view its look and feel on screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping each repeat order consistent.
When you need packaging printed bilingually in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in exactly the same manner as any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Pontprennau’s enterprises
Cuisine and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in carefully controlled, traceable conditions that retailers evaluate before including a product.
Beverages and liquor makers
During the last twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Makeup and self-care products for Pontprennau
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while standing out on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Online commerce and subscription brands
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter an entirely different challenge.
Because the same client opens an almost identical box monthly, maintaining a uniform finish is just as important as the initial design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging keeps products safely in transit, helping prevent damage, reduce claims and limit returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the design is straight away visible once the box opens.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, keeping consistent box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Distributing Pontprennau immediately from our Scottish plant
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Pontprennau provided as standard.
Most orders arrive at a Pontprennau address within two to three weeks after proof approval, keeping to the same timetable as our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer printing and producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes using its own presses!
Prior to the start of full production, you get a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample, while reorders keep the same artwork, rendering expansion wonderfully straightforward.
Employing a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product range makes everything straightforward.
You receive one invoice and deal with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Eco-friendly packaging as a rule
Each box we make is fully 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.
Across our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is easily recyclable, while both present disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
Absolutely no minimum buy for Pontprennau businesses
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
We require no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may order a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run after demand has been established, with the per unit price varying at each quantity across this range.
You always get a written quotation before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those provided for ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in bulk, ask for a printed sample to check the print, colour and fit in your hand.

Tailored packaging Pontprennau Common Questions
Do your team offer tailored packaging shipment to Pontprennau?
Yes. We manufacture each product in Irvine, and then deliver throughout the UK as part of our standard service, extending to every corner of Pontprennau and all of Wales without levying a separate charge because the destination lies further from our factory.
What exactly is the lowest packaging order at Pontprennau?
There is no minimum order. You may order a one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quote issued before production starts.
Which parcel components can I adapt?
Every format allows changes to size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the packaging meets your brief precisely. Branded packaging can also be printed on both the inside and exterior.
Might I receive specimens of your packaging materials before confirming an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly the same standard as a production run, allowing you to verify that the colours meet your brief and that the board has the correct feel before authorising a bulk order.
Might the packaging prove to be recyclable plus can it also be biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format allows.
May I get again the same template at a later date?
Yes, reorders rely on the original artwork file, allowing you to add to an order or prepare for another season without having to redesign the packaging.
