Why select customised packaging
A regular box provides room around the product, enabling it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with a side sticker is the easiest approach, but it caters to no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio creates custom-made packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand instead of covering it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Porthcawl and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from a single sample to a complete pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order for anything we make, meaning you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Tell us about your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What personalised packaging implies
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the start, with its dimensions and print customised to what you are packing.
By choosing the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box secures the product firmly, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed to suit the packed contents and how it is transported.
Printing your logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, needing less work than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for a single unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits perfectly.
Wrapping styles we make for Porthcawl organisations
We produce a broad range of packaging boxes, each produced to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
The best-suited box design and packaging type are based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will talk you through the options!
Commercial cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging option, suitable for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements, featuring closure flaps that fold into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when unfolded, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Mailer and digital commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and improving visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, providing extra depth to keep bigger items firmly in place.
Keepsake boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes along with other branded boxes give purchases made as gifts with the presentation customers expect, without them needing to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a handle that folds up, are particularly suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Design guidance for your Porthcawl business.
Each order includes packaging design support, regardless of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you’ve got a logo and branding guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and check that colours are reproduced correctly on board, as packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they determine the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our web-based tool lets you customise a box and view its look and feel on your screen before printing. We also provide Pantone colour matching, keeping each repeat order consistent.
If packaging is needed 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.
Personalised packaging for Porthcawl’s businesses
Meals and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging that touches meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is produced 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.
Beverages and alcohol producers
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a flourishing drinks scene, covering Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Makeup and beauty of the Porthcawl
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass containers and compacts, while creating an attractive display on retail shelves.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Ecommerce and membership businesses
Retail ready and display packaging plays its part when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Because the same client opens an almost identical box monthly, maintaining a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
Packaging created to match your product’s precise dimensions holds items securely in transit, reducing damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transit, while the design is straight away visible once the box is opened.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining a single box size. This becomes increasingly important when order volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Porthcawl from our Scotland facility
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Porthcawl.
Once proof approval is secured, most orders arrive at a Porthcawl address within two to three weeks, following the same timetable as the rest of our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, which means an long-standing team makes the boxes with its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample prior to full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never requires again.
Using a sole box company for your entire product range makes packaging.
You have one invoice and a single contact, avoiding the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Eco-friendly packaging as expected
Each box we make is 100% recyclable as the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both create difficulties with disposal once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place.
No minimum buy for Porthcawl companies
Throughout the wider industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement .
Small businesses can opt for a one sample, a brief trial run, or a full production run after demand is demonstrated, with per-unit pricing scaling across every quantity in between.
You always get a written quotation before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for fifty are identical to those provided for ten thousand.
Before committing to a greater quantity, get a printed sample and assess the print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
