Here’s why you should select custom packaging
A typical box has space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone packs the spaces with foam or paper to hold it in place.
Standard packaging with a sticker is simple, but it is designed for no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces tailored packaging specifically for your product, making sure the box, print and finish uphold your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Porth and the surrounding valleys, with orders spanning one sample to a full pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
You can purchase any quantity of the products we make, so stock and storage expenses continue to be unneeded until you have confirmed that a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll customise the recommendation to suit the product precisely.
What custom packaging implies
Custom packaging begins with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect its contents.
You select the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to keep the product firmly without movement resulting from excess space in a standard size.
Every element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a less ambitious project than fully customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, including a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Packing styles we make for Porth enterprises
We manufacture a complete range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the suitable box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Store boxes and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging type for lighter products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, meaning that heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Parcel and digital shop containers
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility by printing on the inside as well as the outside, rather than just the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, creating additional depth to hold bigger items securely in place.
Gift boxes, solid boxes and roof-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products bought as gifts with the polished presentation customers anticipate, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, complete with a handle that folds upwards, are an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Design support for your Porth business
Every order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has developed.
Have a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts create print ready files, checking that colours stay accurate on board because packaging demands greater resolution than a website image.
You don’t need design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start 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 allows you to customise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it is printed, while Pantone colour matching ensures every repeat order stays consistent.
If you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team regards it as a usual artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Porth’s industries
Food 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, irrespective of where it is produced on both sides of the border.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is produced in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before listing products.
Refreshments and distilling
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to more recent gin and whisky producers farther north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing a great deal of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and skincare essentials
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that safeguard delicate glass packaging and compacts whilst presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and subscription labels
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, making a uniform finish just as important as the initial design.
High-grade e-commerce packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transit, while the design is immediately visible when the box opens.
Subscription-based brands that reorder monthly can maintain pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Transporting to Porth from our factory in Scotland
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Porth provided as standard.
After proof approval, deliveries to a Porth address usually arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all our packaging throughout 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 making boxes on its own presses.
You get a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without restarting the process from the beginning.
Using a single box company for your full product range simplifies packaging.
You receive a single invoice and work through a single point of contact, instead of chasing several suppliers, each offering different prices for individual weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging as common practice
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, whilst an audited supply chain tracks each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is easily recyclable, while both pose disposal difficulties once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
No minimum order for Porth businesses
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, forcing you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Small businesses can order a single sample, a limited trial run, or a full production batch once they have proved demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity across the range.
You will consistently receive a written quotation prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied 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 assess its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.

Custom packaging Porth Common Questions
Do you deliver custom packaging to Porth?
Yes. We produce all items in Irvine and provide standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Porth and Wales, without an additional charge simply because of the distance from our factory.
What represents the smallest packaging order at Porth?
No minimum order applies. Whether you require one box or several thousand in any format, you will be provided with quantity based pricing through a written quote before production begins.
Which packaging elements can I tailor?
Every 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.
May one get examples of your packaging products before ordering?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to production standards, allowing you to confirm that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before authorising a bulk order.
Is the wrapping recyclable and compostable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling unless food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are used whenever the format permits.
Is it possible to I make the same Porth design request once more?
Yes, repeat orders use the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
