Benefits of select bespoke packaging
A standard box provides room around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be easy, but it belongs to nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand instead of covering it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across St Justinian’s and the nearby valleys, with orders spanning a single sample to a complete pallet delivered straight to a warehouse door.
Nothing we produce needs a minimum order, so you can set stock and storage costs aside until a product has shown that it sells.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation precisely to the product concerned.
What tailored packaging signifies
Custom packaging designs the box around your product from the beginning, meaning that its size and printing reflect exactly what you are packing.
You choose the measurements, enabling a made-to-measure box to hold the product securely without movement caused by surplus space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are individually designed too to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo on a stock box constitutes personalised packaging, a more limited undertaking than fully customisable design.
Tailored packaging places each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for one piece, enabling you to create a bespoke solution that fits precisely, without compromise.
Packaging types we make for St Justinian’s enterprises
We manufacture a full range of packaging boxes in bespoke sizes, printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the appropriate box style and packaging type hinges on your product and how it is handled. Our packaging experts will guide you through the options available.
Shop cartons and custom branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a standard for retail packaging, ideal for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, formed from cardboard and featuring a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and e-commerce boxes
A bespoke mailer box protects your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while boosting visibility by printing on both the inside and outside, not merely the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer extra depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Present boxes, solid boxes and roof-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products bought as gifts with the refined presentation customers anticipate, removing the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, with a handle which folds up, are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium lines, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the final effect.
Create guidance for your St Justinian’s company.
Each order includes packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts create files suitable for print and ensure colours stay true on board, where packaging demands higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need any prior experience in design to develop packaging that represents your brand. Our team can begin with just a logo. Together, you will establish the structure and create professionally designed, print ready artwork, while we explain each technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and review its appearance on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders stay consistent.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our team manages this as a standard artwork request, just as we would manage any other language or colour amendment.
Custom packaging for the St Justinian’s’s operations
Food and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while food packaging in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is made on both sides of the border.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is produced in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Beverages and distillation
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a genuine drinks scene, from distilleries in Brecon Beacons to more recent gin and whisky producers further north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transport while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing a great deal of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and beauty
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, while creating an attractive display on retail shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
E-commerce and membership companies
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face a different challenge.
Each month, the same customer revisits an nearly identical box, making a dependable finish just as important as the original design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging keeps products securely during transit, helping prevent damage, reduce claims and minimise returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, while keeping the print visible once the box is opened.
When a subscription brand places repeat orders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration when volumes exceed several hundred units.
Bringing to St Justinian’s from our Scotland workshop
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in St Justinian’s.
Following proof approval, the majority of orders reach a St Justinian’s address within two to three weeks, matching our packaging delivery schedule across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its seasoned team makes the boxes using its own presses!
You get a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample prior to full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up does not mean having to start again.
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your whole product line makes everything straightforward.
You get a single invoice and work via a single point of contact, instead of pursuing multiple suppliers, each quoting different prices for individual weeks.
Renewable packaging as a rule
Each box we produce is fully recyclable, because of the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are procured from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traceable through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes, as neither material is readily recyclable and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place.
Not any minimum order for St Justinian’s businesses
Across the industry, custom packaging frequently calls for minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage before discovering if your product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses can select a one sample, a brief trial run, or a full production run after demand is demonstrated, with per-unit pricing scaling across every quantity in between.
You will always receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before purchasing in bulk, ask for a printed sample and inspect its printing, colour and how it sits in your hand.
