Top reasons go with made-to-measure packaging
A conventional box has space around the product, letting it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Conventional packaging with a label affixed to its side may be convenient, but it is designed for no specific audience.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Rhoose and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order on anything we produce, meaning you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Share your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What bespoke packaging indicates
Custom packaging starts with a box specifically designed for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect its contents.
You choose the dimensions, allowing a made-to-measure box to hold the product securely without movement resulting from surplus space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, constituting a more modest undertaking than a completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for one run, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly without compromise.
Packaging types we craft for Rhoose enterprises
We manufacture a broad range of packaging boxes, each made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the appropriate box style and packaging format depends on your products and how they are handled. Our packaging specialists will talk you through the available options.
Retail cartons and personalised branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a favourite in retail packaging, well suited for low-weight products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and lower end.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust kind of lock box, constructed from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and electronic commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, providing extra depth so bulkier items can rest securely without shifting.
Surprise boxes, strong boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and additional branded boxes give gift purchases with the presentation customers expect, without them needing to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes, supplied with a handle that folds upwards, are an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, safe for food contact paperboard, instead of standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can enhance further the finish.
Design aid for your Rhoose brand
Each order includes packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and check that the colours remain accurate on board, because packaging requires a greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need any prior experience in design to create packaging that reflects your brand. We can start with only a logo. Together, you will determine the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain every technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before it goes to print, while Pantone colour matching ensures each repeat order stays consistent.
When your packaging requires English and Welsh text, our team manages this as a routine artwork request, just as we would manage any other language or colour amendment.
Personalised packaging for Rhoose’s unique industries
Meals and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whilst all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, regardless of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is manufactured in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before listing products.
Tipples and distilleries
Throughout Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has developed during the past twenty years, extending from Brecon Beacons distilleries to more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to survive transit and appear smart on the shelf too! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing provide much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and beauty products
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that protect delicate glass packaging and compacts while presenting an attractive appearance on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
Electronic commerce and subscription brands
Retail ready and display packaging matter when products are held in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Because the same customer opens an almost identical box each month, maintaining a uniform finish is just as important as the original design.
Efficient online retail packaging, produced to correspond to your product packaging exactly, keeps goods secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the print stays visible once the box is opened.
As a subscription brand reorders each month, retaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an ever more important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Distributing Rhoose right from our Scotland manufacturing facility
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Rhoose.
Once proof approval is obtained, most orders reach at a Rhoose address in two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, meaning an established team makes the boxes with its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, allowing you to scale up without restarting the process from the beginning.
Employing a sole box company for your full product range makes packaging.
It all flows through one invoice and one point of contact, saving you from the frustration of pursuing several suppliers quoting different prices for separate weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging as a rule
Every box we make is completely recyclable, with that recyclability rooted in the board itself.
Our board and paper begin 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 across our processes because neither is easily recyclable, and both create disposal issues after a parcel is opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed in place of them.
There is no minimum order for Rhoose businesses
Across the wider industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or move on to full production once demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity throughout this range.
You will consistently receive a written quote before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to the ones supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before committing to a larger quantity, get a printed sample and assess the print, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Bespoke packaging Rhoose FAQ
Will you supply bespoke packaging to Rhoose?
Yes! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver across the UK as standard, including every part of Rhoose and throughout Wales, with no extra fee simply because you are further from the factory.
Which would be the smallest packaging amount at Rhoose?
No minimum order! Choose a single box or several thousand in any format, with prices adjusted according to quantity in a written quotation before production starts.
Which packaging elements can I customise?
Dimensions, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be tailored for each format, ensuring the designed packaging meets your brief exactly. A branded packaging order can also be printed on both the interior and exterior.
Can you send samples of your packing products before I go ahead and place an order?
Yes. Your sample arrives printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board feels suitable before authorising a larger order.
Is the container recyclable and biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format allows.
Can we purchase again the same template at a later date?
