Benefits of pick customised packaging
A regular box creates spare space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Standard packaging with a sticker is simple, but it is designed for no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than covering it.
We manufacture custom-made boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Stow Hill and the surrounding valleys, with order quantities spanning one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for anything we make, therefore stock and storage costs are unnecessary until you are certain a product will sell.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product itself.
What custom packaging signifies
Custom packaging creates the box around your product from the beginning, meaning that its size and printing correspond exactly to what you are putting inside.
You choose the dimensions, ensuring a made-to-measure box holds the product securely rather than letting it rattle within surplus space created by 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 creates personalised packaging, representing a less substantial undertaking than a completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for a single unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Packing types we manufacture for Stow Hill organisations
We provide an extensive range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the appropriate style of box and packaging format is dependent on your products and how they are handled. Our packaging specialists will talk you through the available choices.
Store cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a well-known retail packaging choice for lighter products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger type of cardboard lock box, with a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Postal and online retail cartons
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility because it is printed inside and out, not only across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Gift boxes, solid boxes and roof-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide products purchased as gifts with the refined presentation customers expect, eliminating the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, including a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the result.
Craft support for your Stow Hill enterprise
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print ready files and confirm that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging needs higher resolution than a website image.
You do not need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only just a logo. Working together, they determine 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 look before printing. Pantone colour matching maintains every repeat order consistent.
If packaging is needed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, handling it precisely as it would any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Stow Hill’s sectors
Meals and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, wherever it is manufactured.
Our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level verifies that food packaging is produced within controlled and traceable processes, satisfying the checks retailers carry out prior to approving products for listing.
Tipples and distilleries
During the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks industry, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles must withstand transit while remaining striking 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 skincare products
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while standing out on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes suit premium ranges that must support a higher price point.
Ecommerce and membership brands
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, whereas subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Because the same customer opens up an nearly identical box every month, maintaining a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, maintains items secure in transit and reduces claims for damage and returns.
Within, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transit, while the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
For a subscription brand that reorders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions makes pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an increasingly valuable advantage once volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Delivering to Stow Hill from our Scottish workspace
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Stow Hill.
Following proof approval, deliveries to a Stow Hill address typically arrive within two to three weeks, matching the timetable for all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer creating print and packaging since 1997, where a seasoned team produces boxes using its own presses.
Prior to the start of full production, you receive a proof and, when the format calls for it, a physical sample, while reorders retain the same artwork, making expansion wonderfully straightforward.
Employing a single box company for packaging across your entire product range makes the process straightforward.
You get one invoice and liaise with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging as default
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable as the board itself enables that recyclability.
Our board and paper come from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain traces every sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We’re cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither recycles easily, while both create disposal headaches after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Absolutely no minimum buy for Stow Hill companies
Across the industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
No minimum order is required.
Small businesses can select a one sample, a short trial run, or a complete production run after demand is demonstrated, with per-unit pricing scaling across every quantity in between.
You always get a written quotation before production begins, and the high quality materials and packaging products provided for fifty are exactly the same as those provided for ten thousand.
Before committing to a greater quantity, obtain a printed sample and evaluate the print, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Personalised packaging Stow Hill Common Questions
Will you provide personalised packaging to Stow Hill?
Yes! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK as standard, including every part of Stow Hill and throughout Wales, with no extra charge solely because you are further from the factory.
What the minimum order to place packaging at Stow Hill?
No minimum order is required. You can request one box or several thousand in any format, with pricing set according to quantity in a written quotation provided before production begins.
Which packaging components can I adapt?
Each format can be customised in terms of size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring your packaging fits the brief perfectly. Want to make an impact? Your branded packaging order can feature printing both inside and outside.
Can one have demonstrations of your parcel products before confirming an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to precisely reproduce a production run, allowing you to verify that its colours meet your brief and that the board feels suitable prior to approving a bulk order.
Is the container able to be recycled and environmentally friendly?
Every packaging box is fully recyclable. We omit plastic laminates that prevent recycling, except where food safety makes them necessary, while biodegradable protective materials are offered when the format allows.
May we purchase again the same design later?
Yes, reorders use the same artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from scratch.
