Why go for bespoke packaging
A standard box leaves unfilled space around the product, letting it to move noisily in transit until foam or paper is placed to stop movement.
Standard packaging bearing an attached sticker is the easiest option, but it is not designed for anyone in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made 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 companies throughout Undy and surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
You can order any quantity of the products we make, so inventory and storage expenses continue to be unnecessary until you have established that a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to the product itself.
What personalised packaging indicates
Bespoke packaging is designed for your product from the outset, with its size and print adapted to what you are packing.
You select the measurements, enabling a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without movement caused by excess space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo onto a stock box produces personalised packaging, constituting a more modest undertaking than a completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be customised, even for one run, enabling you to create packaging that fits exactly without any compromise.
Packaging options we make for Undy enterprises
We manufacture a full range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with 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 guide you through the available options.
Retail cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, intended for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck securely inside at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier type of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Shipping and digital shop cartons
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 extra depth, giving bulkier items room to sit securely without shifting.
Present containers, solid packages and roofed cartons
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and additional branded boxes provide gift purchases with the presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are excellent for food presents as well as hampers!
For premium lines, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the final effect.
Design support for your Undy brand
Each order includes support with packaging design, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
Have a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts produce print ready files, checking that colours remain accurate on board because packaging demands greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need previous design experience to create packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can start with a logo alone, define the structure and produce expertly designed artwork ready for print working with you, clarifying each technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool lets you customise a box and view its look and feel on your screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping every repeat order uniform.
When you need packaging produced in both English and Welsh, our team regards it as a routine artwork requirement, exactly like any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for Undy’s businesses
Eats and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while food packaging in contact with meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, regardless of where it is made on both sides of the border.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is produced in controlled and traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Beverages and distilleries
Over the last twenty years, Wales has developed a distinctive drinks industry, spanning distilleries in the Brecon Beacons and newer gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while preserving their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare and glamour
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts whilst looking presentable on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement premium ranges designed to support a higher price point.
Digital retail and membership companies
Retail and display packaging is important when a product is positioned in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands encounter a different assessment.
Since the same customer opens an almost identical box every month, preserving a consistent finish is as important as the initial design.
Accurately sized e commerce packaging keeps products safely during transit, helping to prevent damage, reduce claims and limit returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue stops the product from shifting during transit, while making sure the print is instantly visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that places monthly reorders, maintaining consistent box dimensions keeps pallet space and warehouse racking consistent, an ever more valuable benefit once volumes exceed a few hundred units.
Shipping to Undy from our Scotland manufacturing site
All items is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Undy included by default.
After proof approval, deliveries to a Undy address generally arrive within two to three weeks, following the timetable for all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer that has been producing print and packaging since 1997, with its experienced team producing boxes on 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 remarkably straightforward.
Employing a sole box company for packaging throughout your whole product range keeps the process straightforward.
You have one invoice and one dedicated point of contact, rather than pursuing several suppliers, each giving a different price for a different week.
Sustainable packaging by default
Each box we make is 100% recyclable because the board itself is recyclable.
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 are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is readily recyclable, causing disposal difficulties after a parcel is opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
No minimum order for Undy businesses
Across the industry, custom packaging frequently necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage before knowing whether a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a one 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.
Before production begins, you will always receive a written quotation, while the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty remain identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to making a bigger order, request a printed sample to assess the print, colour and how comfortably it sits into your hand.
Ways to order personalised packaging

Packaging design and proofing. We create the packaging design suited to your product, prepare the print layout, and provide a proof for your approval.
Ask for a physical sample where the format calls for one, then give approval once you are satisfied with its colour and construction.
Production and delivery. Your order is printed and finished in Irvine before reaching your Undy address, generally within two to three weeks.
Personalised packaging Undy Enquiries
Would you produce made-to-order packaging to Undy?
Yes. We produce every product in Irvine, then deliver throughout the UK as standard, extending to every corner of Undy and the whole of Wales without adding a additional fee because the destination is further away from our factory.
What the least quantity needed for packaging at Undy?
No minimum order requirement applies. You can ask for one box or several thousand in any format, with pricing set according to quantity in a written quote provided before production begins.
Which packing components can I tailor?
Every format allows you complete freedom to change the size, structure, board weight, print and finish, making sure the resulting packaging meets your brief precisely. Your branded packaging order can also be printed on the inside as well as the outside.
Could you send samples of your packaging goods before I place an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly reproduce a production run, enabling you to verify that its colours meet your brief and that the board feels suitable before approving a bulk order.
Is the packaging recyclable and biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format permits.
Can someone order again the same layout in the future?
Indeed, repeat orders use the same artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or repeating it for a new season doesn’t require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
