Why select select personalised packaging
A regular box leaves space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Choosing off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be easy, but it belongs to nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates custom-made packaging specifically for your product, making sure the box, print and finish uphold your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across St Mellons and the nearby valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order on anything we make, so you do not incur stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation specifically to the product concerned.
What bespoke packaging entails
Custom packaging starts with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish precisely reflect its contents.
You decide the dimensions, enabling a made-to-measure box to cradle the product securely instead of allowing it rattle through the empty space of a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are bespoke to suit what is being packed and how it travels!
Printing a logo onto a stock box constitutes personalised packaging, a less extensive undertaking than fully customisable design.
Using customised packaging, you are able to alter each panel, fold and finish, even for a single run, creating packaging that fits with no compromise.
Wrapping formats we create for St Mellons businesses
We provide an wide range of packaging boxes, manufactured to custom dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the suitable style of box and packaging format is dependent on your products and the way they are handled. Our packaging specialists will talk you through the available options.
Store cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, designed for lightweight 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, ensuring heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Shipping and electronic commerce boxes
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility because it is printed inside and out, not solely across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer additional depth, allowing bulkier items space to sit securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the refined presentation customers expect, whilst saving them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, fitted with a handle that folds up, are an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Finishes including foil and soft touch lamination improve the overall effect.
Develop support for your St Mellons company.
Every order includes packaging design assistance, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you’ve got a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and check that the colours remain accurate on board, because packaging needs a greater resolution than a website image.
You need not have any previous design experience to create packaging that represents your brand. We can begin with only a logo. Together, you will determine the structure and produce professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain each technical decision as it arises.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping every repeat order stay consistent.
When you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team regards it as a standard artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for the St Mellons’s enterprises
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact requirements, irrespective of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers assess before including a product.
Beverages and spirit makers
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a genuine drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while retaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and grooming of the St Mellons
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that shield delicate glass containers and compacts, whilst providing an attractive display on retail shelves.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes pair with premium ranges intended to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and subscription labels
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands face an completely different challenge.
Because the same customer opens an almost identical box each month, maintaining a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging holds products securely in transit, helping prevent damage, reduce claims and minimise returns.
A purpose-made insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print remains visible straight away when the box opens.
Subscription-based brands that reorder each month can keep pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to St Mellons from our Scottish workshop
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in St Mellons supplied as standard.
After proof approval, the majority of orders reach a St Mellons address within two to three weeks, in line with our packaging delivery schedule across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an well-established packaging manufacturer that has been producing print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team making boxes on its own presses.
You review a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample ahead of full production starts, while reorders use the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to start again.
Working with one box company for packaging throughout your entire product line keeps everything simple.
Everything passes through a single invoice and one point of contact, sparing you the frustration of pursuing multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging as commonplace
Each box we create is completely recyclable, with that recyclability inherent in the board itself.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, whilst an audited supply chain traces each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
Without a minimum order for St Mellons companies
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before establishing whether the product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a single 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.
You always receive a written quote before production starts, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, get a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and its fit in your hand.
