Why choose personalised packaging
A standard box leaves room around the product, causing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to stop movement.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be easy, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging particularly for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish uphold your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Radyr and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
We have no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the equation until you know whether a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What custom packaging indicates
Custom packaging starts with a box specifically designed for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect what it contains.
Choose the measurements, enabling a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without avoidable movement caused by a standard size.
Each element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is customised for the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, needing less work than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be adjusted, even for just one unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits perfectly.
Wrapping types we produce for Radyr firms
We make a full range of packaging boxes to custom sizes, printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the right box style and packaging format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can walk you through the available options.
Store cartons and personalised packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used retail packaging choice, suited to lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with closure flaps folding into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger form of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and ecommerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out instead of only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, creating extra depth so bulkier items can sit securely without moving.
Present packages, sturdy boxes and pitched-roof cartons
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes give products purchased as gifts the refined presentation customers expect, whilst sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes featuring folding carry handles are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the result.
Design aid for your Radyr business
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
Got a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts produce print ready files, checking that colours remain accurate on board because packaging requires higher resolution than a website image.
You need no design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Starting with nothing more than a logo, our team develops the structure and creates professionally designed, print-ready artwork alongside you, clarifying each technical decision when it arises.
Our digital design tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping each repeat order remain consistent.
When your packaging requires English and Welsh text, our staff manages this as a routine artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Custom packaging for Radyr’s industries
Dishes and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef each hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging in contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless 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.
Beverages and distillation sites
During the past two decades, Wales has established a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers farther north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transport while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and glamour
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that safeguard delicate glass packaging and compacts while presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes pair with premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Digital commerce and recurring businesses
Retail and display packaging is important when a product is placed in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands face a different evaluation.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, which makes a consistent finish as important as the original design.
Effective online retail packaging, made to correspond to your product packaging precisely, keeps goods protected in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A bespoke insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, while ensuring the print stays immediately visible when the box opens.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Radyr from our Scottish craft space
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Radyr included as standard.
Most orders arrive at a Radyr address within two to three weeks after proof approval, using the same timetable as all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer that has been producing print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team producing boxes on its own presses.
You will review a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means beginning from scratch!
Employing a sole box company for packaging throughout your whole product range keeps the process simple.
You have one invoice and one dedicated point of contact, instead of pursuing several suppliers, each giving a different price for a different week.
Environmentally friendly packaging by default
Each box we make is 100% recyclable as the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, whilst an audited supply chain traces each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both create disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
Zero minimum purchase for Radyr organisations
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
There is no requirement for a minimum order .
Smaller businesses may place an order for a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run after demand has been established, with the price per unit adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
Prior to production starts, you will invariably receive a written quotation, while the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty remain identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, get a printed sample to assess its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
How should you place a personalised packing order

Design and proof. We create packaging design designed for your product, prepare the print layout, and provide a proof for you to check.
Ask for a tangible sample where the format requires one, then provide approval once you are satisfied with its colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine, subsequently delivered to your Radyr address, generally within two to three weeks.
Bespoke packaging Radyr Common Questions
Do you offer tailored packaging to Radyr?
Certainly. We make every item in Irvine and offer standard delivery across the UK, covering every part of Radyr and all of Wales, without adding a separate fee for locations more distant from the factory.
Which is the minimum packaging quantity at Radyr?
There is no minimum order. Whether you require one box or several thousand in whatever format, you will be provided with quantity based pricing via a written quote before production starts.
Which packing components can I modify?
Size, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be altered for each format, making sure the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can additionally feature printing on both the inside and outside.
Is it possible that I get examples of your packaging goods before submitting an order?
Yes. You get a sample printed and finished precisely as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board feels suitable before authorising a bulk order.
Could the packaging become recyclable as well as does it decompose?
Every box is fully recyclable. We steer clear of plastic laminates that prevent recycling, unless food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are provided wherever the format permits.
Can I put in the same Radyr design order at a later time?
Yes, reorders rely on the original artwork file, enabling you to increase an order or prepare for another season without redesigning the packaging.
