Purposes choose bespoke packaging
A standard box creates space around the product, causing it to rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to stop movement.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be simple, but it belongs to nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio designs tailored packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish complement your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Rhiwbina and the nearby valleys, with orders spanning a single sample to a complete pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, so you can leave stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Tell us your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to fit the product perfectly.
What tailored packaging means
Custom packaging starts with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit exactly what you are packing.
You decide the dimensions, enabling a made-to-measure box to cradle the product securely rather than allowing it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
Each element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is adapted to the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box results in personalised packaging, needing less work than a completely customisable design.
With tailored packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for a single unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Packaging styles we make for Rhiwbina enterprises
We manufacture a full range of packaging boxes, tailored to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
The ideal 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!
Retail cartons and bespoke branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a retail packaging standard, well suited for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are sturdier cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Mailer and online shopping 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 instead of solely on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, allowing bulkier items space to sit securely without moving.
Gift boxes, sturdy packages and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes give products bought as gifts with the polished presentation customers anticipate, removing the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium lines, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the final effect.
Build aid for your Rhiwbina enterprise
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, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Together, they develop the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while guiding you through every technical decision along the way.
Our digital design tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing starts. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping every repeat order remain consistent.
Need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our staff manages it as a standard artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Rhiwbina’s industries
Meals and refreshment
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 have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers assess before including a product.
Refreshments and distillation venues
Over the past twenty years, Wales has established a distinctive drinks industry, encompassing distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while retaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty treatments and makeup products
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons which protect fragile glass and compacts while presenting well on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
Online shopping and recurring labels
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Because the same customer opens an nearly identical box every month, maintaining a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
Precisely sized e commerce packaging keeps products safely in transit, helping prevent damage, reduce claims and limit returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from moving during transport, while confirming the print is immediately visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more important consideration as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Sending to Rhiwbina from our factory in Scotland
All products are manufactured within our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Rhiwbina.
Most orders reach a Rhiwbina address within two to three weeks following proof approval, keeping to the same schedule as our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a long-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes with its own presses.
You will check a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample before full production starts. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Using one box company for packaging across your entire range of products keeps everything straightforward.
You have one invoice and one contact, removing the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Renewable packaging as the default
Every box we make is fully recyclable, with this recyclability rooted in the board itself.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while each sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is easy to recycle, and both create disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Zero minimum order for Rhiwbina companies
Across the sector, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, forcing you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Smaller businesses can choose a one sample, a brief trial run, or a full production run after demand is proven, with per-unit pricing scaling across each quantity in between.
You are sent a written quote before production begins, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, obtain a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and its fit in your hand.
