For what reason pick customised packaging
A conventional box leaves empty space around the product, allowing it to move noisily in transit until foam or paper is inserted to prevent movement.
Standard packaging with an adhesive label is easy, but it is designed for nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Sarn and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from a single sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce requires a minimum order, enabling you to set stock and storage costs aside until a product has shown that it sells.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will customise our recommendation specifically to the product concerned.
What bespoke packaging involves
Custom packaging is designed for your product from the beginning, with its size and print adapted to what you are packing.
You choose the dimensions, allowing a made-to-measure box to keep the product firmly without movement caused by excess space in a standard size.
Each element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, providing a more modest project than completely customisable design.
With tailored packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for just one unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Parcel solutions that we offer for Sarn firms
We supply an wide range of packaging boxes, manufactured to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate 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 logoed packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, intended for lighter products such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps which tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust kind of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, meaning that heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Shipping and internet shopping containers
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network while turning delivery part of the brand experience and improving visibility, with printing inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are available with gussets, providing extra depth to keep bigger items firmly in place.
Gift boxes, solid boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give presents with the presentation customers anticipate, without them having to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, with a handle that folds up, are particularly suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, that is, solid bleached sulphate, a light-coloured, safe for food contact paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can enhance further the finish.
Create support for your Sarn enterprise.
Every order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has advanced.
Got a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts produce print ready files, verifying that colours remain accurate on board because packaging demands higher resolution than a website image.
Prior design experience is not required to create packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can begin with nothing more than a logo, developing the structure and expertly designed, ready to print artwork with you, while explaining each technical decision in clear terms as it comes up.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its look on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching maintains consistency each time you make a repeat order.
When your packaging requires English and Welsh text, our staff handles this as a routine artwork request, just as we would manage any other language or colour amendment.
Personalised packaging for the Sarn’s sectors
Dishes and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level confirms that food packaging is manufactured within controlled, traceable processes, meeting the checks retailers undertake before approving products for listing.
Drinks and distilleries
Over the past twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles must withstand transit while staying eye-catching on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing bringing much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Makeup and self-care products for Sarn
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts whilst presenting well on shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges that need to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and membership brands
Retail and display packaging is significant when a product is placed in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands face a different assessment.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box each month, which makes a consistent finish as important as the original design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely in transit, while the design is straight away visible once the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, maintaining identical box dimensions helps keep pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly significant consideration as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Delivering to Sarn from our Scotland
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with delivery throughout the UK to businesses in Sarn provided as standard.
After proof approval, deliveries to a Sarn address generally arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, where a seasoned team creates boxes using its own presses.
You examine a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production begins, while reorders use the same artwork, meaning that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Employing a sole box company for your entire product range makes packaging.
You have one invoice and a single contact, avoiding the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Green packaging as the norm
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable as its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper start with FSC and PEFC certified sources, while every sheet is traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We’re cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes because neither recycles easily, while both cause disposal headaches after a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead of them.
Not any minimum order for Sarn businesses
Across the wider industry, custom packaging frequently requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Smaller businesses may order one sample, a limited run for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the price per unit adjusting at each quantity across this range.
You will always receive a written quote prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to the ones provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in volume, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and fit in your hand.
