For what reason choose tailor-made packaging
A regular box leaves room around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with a sticker on the side is the simplest route, but it serves no particular customer.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging customised for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish reinforce your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Rhondda and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from one sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order on anything we produce, so you avoid stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will customise our recommendation specifically to the product in question.
What custom packaging signifies
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print customised to what you are packing.
By choosing the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box holds the product securely, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Every element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is adapted to the contents and the way they are transported.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, but it is a smaller project than a fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you can modify each panel, fold and finish, even with a single run, producing packaging that fits without compromise.
Wrapping options we create for Rhondda organisations
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will take you through the available options.
Shop containers and company packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a widely used 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 a kind of lock box, providing a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat once opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Post and internet retail boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network while making delivery part of the brand experience and improving 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 rest securely without shifting.
Keepsake packages, rigid boxes and pitched-roof cartons
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide presents with refined presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with collapsible carry handles are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than conventional carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can further enhance the result.
Develop support for your Rhondda brand.
Every order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print ready files and verify that colours are reproduced accurately on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need any previous design experience to create packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with just a logo. Working together, you will establish the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain each technical decision as it arises.
Our web-based tool lets you personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping each repeat order consistent.
If you require packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement and handles it just as we would any other language or colour alteration.
Custom packaging for the Rhondda’s industries
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging which comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet 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 and traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Beverages and distillation
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers further north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transport while preserving their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering a great deal of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and appearance
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect fragile glass and compacts while presenting beautifully on the shelf.
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.
E-commerce and membership brands
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Each month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, rendering a consistent finish every bit as important as the original design.
Efficient online retail packaging, produced to match your product packaging exactly, keeps goods secure during transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transport, as the print greets the eye the moment the box opens.
For a subscription brand making repeat orders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Dispatching to Rhondda from our Scottish manufacturing site
All items is made at our Irvine site, with UK delivery to companies in Rhondda included by default.
Once your proof is accepted, the majority of orders are delivered to a Rhondda address within two to three weeks, corresponding to the delivery timescale for our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its long-standing team makes the boxes using its own presses.
Prior to the start of full production, you get a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample, as reorders retain the same artwork, making expansion remarkably straightforward.
Using one box company for packaging across your entire product range keeps everything simple.
You have a single invoice and a single dedicated point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for a different week.
Environmentally friendly packaging as the default
Every box we make is 100% recyclable as the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither is easy to recycle, and both cause disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in its place.
Zero minimum order for Rhondda businesses
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, forcing you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can begin with a single sample, place a small trial run, or move to full production once demand is proven, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
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.
Before ordering in volume, request a printed sample to inspect the print, colour and fit in your hand.

Custom packaging Rhondda Common Questions
Do you lot offer personalised packaging despatch to Rhondda?
Yes. We produce all items in Irvine and provide standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Rhondda and Wales, without an additional charge simply because of the distance from our factory.
What exactly would be the minimum packaging order at Rhondda?
No minimum order is required. You can order a single box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing adjusted according to quantity in a written quotation issued before production starts.
Which packing aspects can I customise?
Every aspect of the format, including size, structure, board weight, print and finish, can be adjusted, ensuring that the packaging aligns precisely with your brief. Branded packaging may additionally be printed internally and externally.
Can you send examples of your parcel items before I place an order?
Absolutely! Your sample arrives printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check the colours meet your brief and make sure the board feels right before approving a bulk order.
Is the container recyclable and biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format allows.
Can we purchase again the same template later?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or placing it again for a new season never requires the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
