Why go with bespoke wrapping
A conventional box leaves unfilled space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is inserted to prevent movement.
Basic packaging with a sticker attached is the simplest choice, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Sandfields and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order on anything we make, meaning you avoid stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What tailored packaging involves
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the outset, so its size and printing correspond exactly to what you are putting inside.
By choosing the dimensions, you ensure that a custom sized box secures the product firmly, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
The construction, board weight, print and finish are tailored to match the packed contents and how it travels.
Printing your logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single run, enabling you to create packaging that fits precisely without compromise.
Packaging styles which we create for Sandfields companies
We produce a full range of packaging boxes, tailored to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the most suitable box style and packaging format is based on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging experts will clearly explain.
Store cartons and personalised packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a familiar retail packaging choice for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold tidily into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, ensuring heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shop packages
A bespoke mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and turns delivery into part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside rather than only across the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products bought as presents the polished presentation customers expect, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, featuring a handle that folds upwards, are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we occasionally specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Develop assistance for your Sandfields label
Each order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts prepare files suitable for print and make sure colours stay true on board, where packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and professionally produced print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision throughout the process.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and preview its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping every repeat order remain consistent.
If packaging is required in both English and Welsh, our team treats this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it exactly as it would any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Sandfields’s industries
Food and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured on either side of the border.
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.
Refreshments and distillation
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a authentic drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to newer gin and whisky producers farther north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while maintaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and grooming of the Sandfields
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, while providing an appealing display on retail shelves.
We create cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range feel worthy of its higher price point.
Internet commerce and membership labels
Retail and display packaging is key when a product is positioned in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands face a different assessment.
Each month, the same customer opens an almost identical box, making a consistent finish just as important as the initial design.
High-grade e-commerce packaging, produced exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items safe in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transit, as the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Sending to Sandfields from our Scotland plant
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Sandfields supplied as standard.
After proof approval, the majority of orders arrive at a Sandfields address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule 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 produces the boxes using its own presses.
You receive a proof and, where the format requires it, a physical sample prior to full production starts. Reorders retain the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product range makes the process simple.
You receive one invoice and work with one contact, avoiding multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Earth-friendly packaging automatically
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable because the board itself is recyclable.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits trace every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We’re cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is easily recycled, while both create disposal headaches once a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used in place of them.
No minimum purchase for Sandfields companies.
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you must finance stock and storage before finding out whether your product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement whatsoever.
Small firms are able to order a single sample, a restricted trial run, or a full production batch after proving demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity across the 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 those supplied 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.

Personalised packaging Sandfields Help Guide
Will you ship custom packaging to Sandfields?
Yes! We manufacture everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK as standard, including every part of Sandfields and across Wales, with no extra charge simply because you are farther from the factory.
Which is the smallest packing order in Sandfields?
No minimum order requirement applies. You can request one box or several thousand in any format, with pricing set according to quantity in a written quotation provided before production starts.
Which package sections can I customise?
Each format gives you complete flexibility to adjust the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, making sure the resulting packaging matches your brief exactly. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the interior as well as the outside.
Can you possibly send demonstrations of your wrapping products before I place an order?
Yes. You get a sample printed and finished exactly as it would be in production, allowing you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board seems suitable before authorising a bulk order.
Would the packaging remain recyclable as well as can it also be biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format permits.
Could I reorder the same design afterwards?
Certainly! Repeat orders use the original artwork file, which means you can increase an order or repeat it for a new season without redesigning the packaging from scratch.
