Why pick tailored packaging?
A standard box creates empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transport until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to keep it still.
Conventional packaging with a side sticker is the simplest approach, but it serves no particular customer.
Custom Pack Studio produces tailored packaging specifically for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish uphold your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Ruthin and surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order for anything we produce, therefore stock and storage costs remain unnecessary until you know a product is going to sell.
Tell us about your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging entails
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the beginning, meaning that its size and printing correspond exactly to what you are putting inside.
By selecting the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box holds the product firmly, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Each aspect, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is tailored to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, needing less work than a fully customisable design.
With tailored packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be adjusted, even for just one unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits perfectly.
Packaging options we produce for Ruthin firms
We manufacture a full range of packaging boxes in bespoke sizes, printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing the suitable box style and packaging format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Retail cartons and personalised logo packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, intended for lightweight products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier kind of lock box, made from cardboard and featuring a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shop boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and increasing visibility as it is printed on the inside and outside, not solely across the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are also available with gussets, creating extra depth so bulkier items can sit securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, rigid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes give products bought as gifts with the polished presentation customers expect, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a handle which folds upwards, are particularly suitable for food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, that is, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than conventional carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can further enhance the outcome.
Craft assistance for your Ruthin enterprise.
Each order includes packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and check that colours stay accurate on board, because packaging requires higher resolution than an image on a website.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Working 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 personalise a box and preview its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps each repeat order consistent.
If packaging is required in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Ruthin’s industries
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is produced within controlled, traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers carry out before approving products for listing.
Drinks and spirit-making
During the past twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles must withstand transit while remaining striking on the shelf, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing adding much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Toiletries and personal care products for Ruthin
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while being prominent on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes suit premium ranges requiring a higher price point to be justified.
E-commerce and membership categories
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a distinct challenge.
Each month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, making a uniform finish just as important as the initial design.
Efficient online retail packaging, made to match your product packaging precisely, keeps goods protected during transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely during transit, while the print remains visible once the box is opened.
For a subscription brand placing repeat orders each month, keeping consistent box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration as volumes surpass a few hundred units.
Delivering to Ruthin from our Scottish workspace
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Ruthin included as standard.
Once proof approval is confirmed, most orders arrive at a Ruthin address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of 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 produces the boxes on its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never requires again.
Using one box company for packaging across your entire product range maintains simplicity.
Everything flows through one invoice and one point of contact, sparing you the frustration of chasing several suppliers quoting varying prices for separate weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging by default
Each box we make is 100% recyclable as the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain traces every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is easily recyclable, and both create disposal issues once a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
No minimum order for Ruthin companies
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a single sample, limited runs for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the unit price scaling according to the quantity ordered.
You are sent a written quote before production starts, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before committing to a greater quantity, obtain a printed sample and evaluate the print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
Steps to order custom packaging

Production and delivery. Your order is printed and completed in Irvine before being delivered to your Ruthin address, usually within two to three weeks.

Certainly. Everything is manufactured in Irvine, with standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Ruthin and throughout Wales. We make no extra charge for distance from the factory.
What is the smallest parcel order in Ruthin?
There is no minimum order requirement. You can order one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing based on quantity and confirmed in writing before production begins.
Which packing components can I customise?
Each format can be tailored in terms of size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring your packaging meets the brief perfectly. Want to make an impact? Your branded packaging order can include printing both inside and outside.
Can I receive specimens of your packaging range before making an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to production standards, enabling you to verify that the colours meet your brief and the board feels right before approving a bulk order.
Can the packaging recyclable and can it be biodegradable?
Each box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are employed whenever the format permits.
Is it possible to I place another order for the same layout later?
Yes, reorders are made from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season never requires the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
