Purposes opt for bespoke packaging
A regular box leaves space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is added to prevent movement.
Typical packaging with a sticker affixed is the simple option, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
At Custom Pack Studio, custom-made packaging is shaped around your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Uplands and the valleys beyond, with orders ranging from a single sample to a full pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order on anything we produce, so stock and storage costs are unnecessary until you are certain a product is going to sell.
Tell us about your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What personalised packaging consists of
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the beginning, with its dimensions and print tailored to what you are packing.
By choosing the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box secures the product securely, rather than letting it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are also individually designed to suit the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
Customised packaging places each panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for one piece, enabling you to create a bespoke solution that fits precisely, with no compromise.
Wrapping methods we craft for Uplands organisations
We make a complete range of packaging boxes, made to custom sizes and printed in full colour with your artwork!
The best-suited box style and packaging type depend on what you sell and the way it is handled, while our packaging specialists will talk you through the choices!
Retail cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a standard retail packaging format for less heavy products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a stronger type of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and online retail containers
A bespoke mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing inside and out rather than solely across the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes offer extra depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without shifting.
Keepsake containers, rigid boxes and roofed cartons
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded packaging give gifts with the presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, supplied with a handle that folds up, make an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For high-end ranges, we sometimes specify SBS board, or solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food-safe paperboard, instead of standard carton stock, while finishes including foil and soft touch lamination enhance the overall effect.
Create assistance for your Uplands label
Every order includes packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
Once your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts prepare files suitable for print and make sure colours stay true on board, where packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that fits your brand. Our team can start with only a logo. Working together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, detailing each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our web-based tool lets you personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before printing. We also provide Pantone colour matching, keeping every repeat order uniform.
When your packaging needs English and Welsh text, our team manages this as a standard artwork request, just as we would handle any other language or colour amendment.
Specialised packaging for the Uplands’s businesses
Cuisine and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef hold Protected Geographical Indication status, whereas all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured on either side of the border.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, confirming our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to welcoming products onto their shelves.
Beverages and distillation
Over the past two decades, Wales has established a flourishing drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must survive transit and appear smart on the shelf as well! Finishes including foil stamping and embossing provide much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Personal care items and make-up items
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts while looking presentable on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes are suitable for premium ranges that need to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring tags
Packaging intended for retail display is important when a product sits in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, yet subscription brands face an entirely different challenge.
Because the same client opens an nearly identical box monthly, keeping a uniform finish is just as important as the initial design.
Packaging created to fit your product’s precise dimensions keeps items secure during transit, lowering damage claims and returns from ecommerce orders.
A fitted insert or printed tissue holds the product securely in transit, while the design is immediately visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that reorders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions maintains predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Uplands from our factory in Scotland
All items are produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Uplands provided as standard.
Most orders reach a Uplands address within two to three weeks after proof approval, following the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes with its own presses.
Before full production begins, you receive a proof and, when the format calls for it, a physical sample, while reorders retain the same artwork, rendering expansion wonderfully simple.
Employing a sole box company for your entire product range makes packaging.
You receive a single invoice and operate through a single point of contact, rather than chasing multiple suppliers, each offering different prices for separate weeks.
Sustainable packaging as default
Every box we make is 100% recyclable because the board itself makes possible that recyclability.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet tracked through an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We’re reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes as neither is easily recycled, while both cause disposal headaches after a parcel has been opened.
When the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them instead.
There is no minimum quantity for Uplands businesses.
Across a large part of the industry, custom packaging demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to finance stock and storage before ascertaining whether the product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement .
Small businesses can opt for 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.
Prior to production starts, you will always be sent a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before ordering in volume, ask for a printed sample and inspect its print, colour and how it fits in your hand.
