Reasons to opt for bespoke packaging
A conventional box creates space around the product, making it rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Conventional packaging with a sticker on the side is the simplest route, but it serves no particular customer.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Tredegar and the nearby valleys, with order quantities ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order requirement for anything we make, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is established.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll adapt the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging represents
Custom packaging shapes the box around your product from the outset, with its dimensions and print customised to what you are packing.
You select the dimensions, so that a made-to-measure box keeps the product secure rather than letting it rattle within surplus space created by a generic size.
The construction, board weight, print and finish are tailored to suit the packed contents and how it travels.
Adding a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, but it is a less extensive project than a fully customisable design.
With customised packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for a single run, allowing you to create packaging that fits exactly without any compromise.
Packaging solutions we produce for Tredegar enterprises
We manufacture a wide selection of packaging boxes, each produced to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will guide you through the options available.
Store cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a standard for retail packaging, 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 type of lock box, providing a stronger cardboard design with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and online retail cartons
A custom mailer box protects your product throughout the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out instead of only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items room to rest securely without shifting.
Present containers, solid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes give presents a polished presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, with a handle that folds upwards, are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we may choose SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, whereas finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination improve the result.
Craft backing for your Tredegar identity
Each order includes packaging design support, regardless of the stage your artwork has reached.
If you have a logo and branding guidelines, our design experts produce print-ready files and confirm that colours are reproduced correctly on board, as packaging requires greater resolution than website imagery.
You need no previous design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Beginning with no more than a logo, our team develops the structure and produces expertly designed, print-ready artwork with you, clarifying each technical decision when it arises.
Our online tool allows you to personalise a box and preview its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures consistency whenever you make a repeat order.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a routine artwork requirement and handles it just as we would any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Tredegar’s businesses
Dishes and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions reviewed by retailers prior to stocking products onto their shelves.
Drinks and distilleries
During the past twenty years, Wales has developed a thriving drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes need to withstand transit while retaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Beauty products and beauty products
For cosmetic and skincare brands, cartons must shield fragile glass and compacts while presenting beautifully on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes complement premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Online commerce and subscriber-based brands
Packaging intended for retail display matters when a product is located in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, yet subscription brands face an completely different challenge.
The same customer opens a nearly identical box each month, making a uniform finish as important as the initial design.
Effective online packaging, created precisely to fit your product packaging, maintains items secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely in transit, while the print stays in view once the box is opened.
Subscription-based brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking uniform by retaining one box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Providing Tredegar right from our Scotland factory
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Tredegar provided as standard.
After your proof is approved, the majority of orders arrive at a Tredegar address within two to three weeks, matching the delivery timescale for our packaging throughout the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its long-standing staff makes the boxes using its own presses.
You sign off on a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts, while reorders keep the original artwork, ensuring larger quantities require no fresh preparation.
Using a sole box company for your full product range makes packaging.
You have a single invoice and a single contact, avoiding the need to chase multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Planet-friendly packaging by default setting
Each box we make is entirely recyclable, because of the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with every sheet traced through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
Zero minimum order for Tredegar firms
Across the industry, custom packaging frequently demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement of any kind!
Small businesses may order one sample, commission a limited trial run, or move on to full production after demand is established, with unit pricing scaling at each quantity throughout this range.
Before production begins, you will invariably receive a written quotation, while the high-quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before purchasing in volume, ask for a printed sample and inspect its printing, colour and how it sits in your hand.
