Why select go for custom packaging
A standard box leaves empty space around the product, letting it to move noisily during transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Conventional packaging with a label applied to its side may be convenient, but it is designed for no particular audience.
Custom Pack Studio designs customised packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Tonyrefail and the nearby valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We set no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the picture until you know that a product sells.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What tailored packaging entails
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
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 generic size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also custom designed, carefully matched to what is being packed and how it travels.
Printing a logo onto a stock box amounts to personalised packaging, a less extensive undertaking than entirely customisable design.
Tailored packaging puts each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, enabling you to create a bespoke solution that fits precisely, with no compromise.
Packaging methods we craft for Tonyrefail businesses
We produce a broad range of packaging boxes, each made to custom dimensions and printed in full colour with your artwork.
Choosing 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.
Store cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a retail packaging standard, well suited for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier kind of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, ensuring heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Shipping and ecommerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into an extension of the brand experience and boosting visibility through printing on both its interior and exterior, not just its outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes create additional depth, allowing bulkier items room to rest securely.
Keepsake boxes, sturdy boxes and gable 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 folding carry handles are ideal for food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can enhance further the outcome.
Build backing for your Tonyrefail business
Every order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print-ready files and verify that colours remain accurate on board, because packaging requires higher resolution than a website image.
You need not have any previous design experience to develop packaging that represents your brand. We can start with just a logo. Working together, you will determine the structure and produce professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain every 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 each repeat order stay consistent.
Do you need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our staff manages it as a routine artwork requirement, just like any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for Tonyrefail’s sectors
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas packaging in contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless 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 assess before including a product.
Tipples and distilleries
Over the past twenty years, Wales has established a distinctive drinks industry, spanning distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and more recent gin and whisky producers across the north.
Presentation boxes for bottles need to endure transit while remaining striking on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing adding much of the impact to a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Toiletries and personal care products for Tonyrefail
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts while looking good on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
E-commerce and recurring brands
Retail ready and display packaging plays its part when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter an wholly different challenge.
As the same customer opens an nearly identical box each month, keeping a consistent finish is just as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, created exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure during transit and reduces claims for damage and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely in transit, while the print stays visible as soon as the box is opened.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can maintain pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Delivering to Tonyrefail from our Scottish plant
All items are made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Tonyrefail provided as standard.
Once your proof is approved, the majority of orders arrive at a Tonyrefail address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timescale for our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, meaning an established team creates the boxes with its own presses.
You will check a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means beginning from scratch!
Using one box company for packaging across your whole product range makes everything straightforward.
You have a single invoice and one dedicated point of contact, instead of pursuing several suppliers, each giving a different price for a different week.
Green packaging automatically
Each box we make is fully recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are procured from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet traceable through an audited chain 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 cause disposal headaches after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place.
No minimum order for Tonyrefail companies
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to fund stock and storage before establishing whether the product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement whatsoever!
Small businesses may order a single sample, commission a limited trial run, or proceed with full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity throughout this range.
You will always receive a written quote prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to the ones supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, request a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.
