Why opt for personalised wrapping
A typical box leaves space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gaps with foam or paper to keep it still.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be simple, but it belongs to no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio designs bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Ringland and surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, allowing you to leave stock and storage costs aside until a product has proved it sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation precisely to the product in question.
What bespoke packaging indicates
Custom packaging begins with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect its contents.
You choose the measurements, so that a made-to-measure box holds the product securely rather than letting it rattle within surplus space created by a generic size.
Each element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is customised for the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box amounts to personalised packaging, a less extensive undertaking than entirely customisable design.
With tailored packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for just one unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Packaging formats we create for Ringland companies
We produce a comprehensive range of packaging boxes, each produced to custom dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the suitable box style and packaging format depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can walk you through the available options.
Retail cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging format for lighter products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier form of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and online shopping boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not just its outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, giving bulkier items space to sit securely without moving.
Gift packages, sturdy cases and pitched boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products purchased as presents the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, supplied with a handle that folds up, make an excellent choice 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 including foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Build assistance for your Ringland brand.
Every order provides packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has advanced.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print-ready files and check that the colours remain accurate on board, as packaging requires a greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with only just a logo. Together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our online tool lets you customise a box and preview its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps every repeat order consistent.
When your packaging requires English and Welsh text, our team handles this as a routine artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Bespoke packaging for Ringland’s unique industries
Eats and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where 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 verify prior to listing products.
Tipples and distilleries
During the past twenty years, Wales has built up a thriving drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes have to survive transit and look smart on the shelf as well! Finishes such as foil stamping and embossing create much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and personal care
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect fragile glass and compacts while looking elegantly on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes are suited to premium ranges requiring a higher price point to be justified.
Digital commerce and recurring brands
Packaging created for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is important, but, subscription brands experience a particular challenge.
Because the same client opens an nearly identical box each month, maintaining a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure during transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transport, while the print greets the eye the moment the box opens.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, using consistent box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly valuable benefit once volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Shipping to Ringland from our Scottish-based factory
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to companies in Ringland included as standard.
After your proof is approved, the majority of orders arrive at a Ringland address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timeframe for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff makes the boxes on its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, making it possible to scale up without restarting the process again.
Using a single box company for packaging across your whole product range simplifies the process.
It all passes through one invoice and a single point of contact, saving you from the frustration of pursuing several suppliers quoting varying prices for separate weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging by default
Each box we make is fully recyclable, because of the board it is made from.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits track every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties after a parcel is opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in their place.
No minimum order for Ringland businesses
Across the industry, custom packaging often calls for minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to pay for stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may order a one sample, limited runs for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the unit price varying according to the quantity ordered.
Prior to production begins, you will always be sent a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, obtain a printed sample to assess its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Bespoke packaging Ringland Frequently Asked Questions
Will you provide custom packaging to Ringland?
Yes! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver across the UK by default, including every part of Ringland and throughout Wales, with no extra fee simply because you are farther from the factory.
What exactly is represents the basic box threshold for Ringland?
No minimum order! Select one box or several thousand in any format, with prices calculated according to quantity in a written quote before production begins.
Which packing elements can I personalise?
Each format gives you complete freedom to alter the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the resulting packaging meets your brief exactly. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the interior as well as the outside.
Could you offer packing item samples before we put in an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to production standards, allowing you to confirm that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging suitable for recycling and biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are used whenever the format allows.
Can I place another order for the same layout later?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so expanding an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
