Purposes opt for bespoke packaging
A standard box leaves room around the item, letting it to move about during transport until someone fills the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a sticker on the side may be easy, but it belongs to nobody in particular.
Custom Pack Studio designs bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Upper Bangor and the valleys beyond, with orders varying from one sample to a complete pallet delivered directly to your warehouse door.
We have no minimum order for anything we produce, so you avoid stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Share your packaging needs, and we will tailor the recommendation to fit the product itself.
What custom packaging implies
Bespoke packaging is designed around your product from the start, with its size and print tailored to what you are packing.
Choose your measurements and make a custom-sized box that keeps the product snug, preventing it from rattling about in the unused space of a standard-sized box.
Every element, from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing your logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, requiring less work than a entirely customisable design.
With customised packaging, you can modify every panel, fold and finish, even with a single run, producing packaging that fits with no compromise.
Packing styles we produce for Upper Bangor firms
We produce 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 format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Store cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a retail packaging staple, designed 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, formed from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and e-commerce boxes
A bespoke mailer box protects your product across the courier network, turning delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility by printing on both the inside and outside, rather than just the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items room to rest securely.
Surprise boxes, strong boxes and gable-shaped boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes give products purchased as gifts with the refined presentation customers anticipate, removing the need for customers to wrap them themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are brilliant for food gifts and hampers!
For high-end ranges, we may select SBS board (solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard) over standard carton stock, while finishes such as foil and soft touch lamination enhance the outcome.
Craft assistance for your Upper Bangor brand
Each order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
After your logo and brand guidelines are in place, our design experts create files suitable for print and ensure colours remain true on board, where packaging requires higher resolution than website imagery.
You do not need design experience to develop packaging that fits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they determine the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project develops.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and preview its look and feel on screen before printing. We also offer Pantone colour matching, keeping each repeat order consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team considers this as a standard artwork requirement, handled in exactly the same manner as any other language or colour change.
Custom packaging for the Upper Bangor’s industries
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging which comes into contact with meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, irrespective of which side of the border it is produced on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is made in controlled and traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Drinks and liquor makers
Throughout Wales, a flourishing drinks culture has emerged during the past twenty years, stretching from Brecon Beacons distilleries to newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while maintaining shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and aesthetics of the Upper Bangor
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts while standing out on the shelf.
We create cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes make a premium range appear worthy of its higher price point.
Internet commerce and membership companies
Retail ready and display packaging are important when products sit in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, while subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Because the same client opens an almost identical box each month, keeping a consistent finish is just as important as the initial design.
Effective online retail packaging, made to correspond to your product packaging exactly, keeps goods secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A purpose-made insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print stays visible straight away when the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that places repeat orders each month, maintaining identical box dimensions helps maintain pallet space and warehouse racking predictable, an increasingly significant consideration as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Dispatching to Upper Bangor from our Scotland workshop
Everything is manufactured at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Upper Bangor provided as standard.
Following proof approval, most orders reach a Upper Bangor address within two to three weeks, matching our packaging delivery schedule across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its established staff produces the boxes on its own presses.
You check a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts, while reorders use the same artwork, ensuring that scaling up never requires the process to begin again.
Choosing one box company for packaging across your entire product range maintains simplicity.
Have a single invoice and one point of contact, rather than seeking out multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for another week.
Environmentally friendly packaging as usual
Each box we make is 100% recyclable because its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper are obtained from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, where each sheet tracked via an audited supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We’re cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes as neither is easily recycled, while both create disposal headaches after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead of them.
Zero minimum purchase for Upper Bangor companies.
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, obliging you to fund stock and storage prior to determining whether a product will sell.
There’s no minimum order requirement at all!
Smaller businesses may place an order for a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
You will consistently receive a written quotation before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to the ones supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to assess its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.

Bespoke wrapping Upper Bangor Common Questions
Do you provide personalised packaging to Upper Bangor?
Yes. We manufacture each product in Irvine, and then deliver throughout the UK as standard, extending to every corner of Upper Bangor and the whole of Wales without applying a additional charge because the destination lies further from our factory.
What’s the smallest order required for packaging at Upper Bangor?
No minimum order is required. You can order a one box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing scaled to quantity in a written quotation provided before production begins.
Which packaging components can I adapt?
Each format allows adjustments to size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can also be printed on both the inside and outside.
Can you kindly send illustrations of your packaging solutions products before I decide to place an order?
Certainly. The sample is printed and finished to exactly the same standard as a production run, enabling you to confirm that the colours meet your brief and that the board has the right feel before authorising a bulk order.
Would the packaging remain recyclable in addition to that can it be biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling unless food safety makes them necessary, and biodegradable protective materials are provided where the format permits.
Is it possible to someone apply the same artwork again?
Indeed, repeat orders use the same artwork file, meaning that increasing an order or repeating it for another season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
