Reasons opt for bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves empty space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Standard packaging with a side sticker is the simplest approach, but it serves no particular customer.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging customised for your product, making sure the box, print and finish reinforce your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Swansea and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
We require no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the picture until you know whether a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What bespoke packaging implies
With custom packaging, your box is created around the product from the outset, so its dimensions and print suit exactly what you are packing.
You select the dimensions, ensuring a custom-sized box keeps the product secure 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 produces personalised packaging, providing a less ambitious project than completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be adjusted, even for just one unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Packing types we produce for Swansea companies
We manufacture a comprehensive range of packaging boxes, each made to custom dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will take you through the available options.
Commercial cartons and marked packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products like cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold inwards at both the top and lower end.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust kind of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, ensuring heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Mailer and digital commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while making delivery part of the brand experience and strengthening visibility as it is printed on the inside and outside, not only across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, enabling bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Present boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give products bought as presents the polished presentation customers anticipate, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, 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 finished effect.
Craft aid for your Swansea company
Each order comes with packaging design support, regardless of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print ready files and confirm that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging needs greater resolution than a website image.
Previous design experience is not required to produce packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with nothing more than a logo, developing the structure and professionally designed, ready to print artwork with you, while clarifying each technical decision clearly as it arises.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and view its look and feel on your screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping every repeat order uniform.
Do you need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our staff handles it as a routine artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Bespoke packaging for Swansea’s businesses
Food and libations
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging in contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is made on.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers evaluate before including a product.
Drinks and spirit-makers
During the past two decades, Wales has developed a genuine drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Toiletries and beauty products for Swansea
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must protect delicate glass and compacts while presenting attractively on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes pair with premium ranges intended to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and membership tags
Packaging created for retail shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres is significant, yet, subscription brands experience a distinct challenge.
The same customer opens an almost identical box each month, making a uniform finish just as important as the initial design.
High-quality e-commerce packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items safe in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from moving during transport, while making sure the print is immediately visible when the box is opened.
As a subscription brand reorders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions keeps pallet capacity and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Swansea from our Scotland workshop
All products are manufactured at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Swansea.
After your proof is accepted, the majority of orders are delivered to a Swansea address within two to three weeks, corresponding to the delivery timeframe for our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, which means an long-standing team creates the boxes with its own presses.
You get a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never requires again.
Working with one box company for packaging throughout your entire product line keeps everything simple.
You have one invoice and a single contact, removing the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Green packaging as typical
Each box we make is 100% recyclable because its board is recyclable.
We source our board and paper from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet tracked through an audited chain of custody to responsibly managed forests.
Throughout our processes, we are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill because neither is easily recyclable, while both present disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is utilised instead.
There is no minimum order for Swansea 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.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Small firms can order one sample, a limited trial run, or a complete production batch after proving demand, and with per unit pricing adjusted for each order quantity throughout 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 bigger order, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it sits into your hand.

Custom boxing Swansea Frequently Asked Questions
Can you send personalised packaging to Swansea?
Indeed! We produce everything in Irvine and deliver throughout the UK as standard, including every part of Swansea and throughout Wales, with no additional charge simply because you are further from the factory.
What is the smallest packaging order in Swansea?
There is no minimum order requirement applies. You can request one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing set according to quantity in a written quotation provided before production starts.
What sections of the packaging can I tailor?
Dimensions, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be customised for every format, making sure the designed packaging fulfils your brief exactly. A branded packaging order can also be printed on both the interior and exterior.
Is it possible to I receive samples of your packing products before placing an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly replicate a production run, enabling you to confirm that its colours satisfy your brief and that the board feels appropriate prior to approving a bulk order.
Could the packaging prove to be recyclable plus can it be biodegradable?
Every box is completely recyclable. We steer clear of plastic laminates that prevent recycling, unless food safety makes them essential, while biodegradable protective materials are provided wherever the format permits.
May we order again the same layout later?
Certainly! Repeat orders utilise the original artwork file, which means you can increase an order or repeat it for a new season without redesigning the packaging from scratch.
