Why select personalised packaging?
A regular box leaves empty space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to prevent it from moving.
Standard packaging with a sticker affixed is the straightforward choice, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio creates bespoke packaging tailored to your product, making sure the box, print and finish support your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Victoria and the surrounding valleys, with orders varying from a single sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We do not require a minimum order for any item we make, enabling you to avoid stock and storage costs until a product’s sales potential is determined.
Tell us your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to suit the product perfectly.
What custom packaging represents
Custom packaging creates the box around your product from the start, so its size and printing reflect exactly what you are putting inside.
Choose the measurements, allowing a custom-sized box to secure the product firmly without unnecessary movement caused by a standard size.
Each aspect, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is tailored to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Printing a logo on a stock box creates personalised packaging, offering a more modest project than fully customisable design.
Tailored packaging places every panel, fold and finish in your hands, even for a single piece, enabling you to create a customised solution that fits perfectly, without compromise.
Packing formats that we offer for Victoria enterprises
We manufacture a broad range of packaging boxes, each made to bespoke dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the appropriate box style and packaging type depends on your product and the way it is handled. Our packaging specialists will guide you through the options available.
Retail cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a well-known retail packaging option for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold tidily into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier kind of lock box, made from cardboard with a base that snaps flat when opened, ensuring heavier products cannot force the bottom out.
Shipping and web store parcels
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside instead of only on the outer face.
These custom printed boxes are offered with gussets, creating additional depth to keep bigger items firmly in place.
Gift packages, solid containers and gable cartons
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and other branded boxes provide products purchased as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, whilst sparing them the effort of wrapping.
Gable boxes, with a handle that folds up, are particularly suitable for food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, that is, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than conventional carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can enhance further the outcome.
Develop support for your Victoria enterprise
Every order includes support with packaging design, irrespective of how far your artwork has developed.
Have a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts create print ready files, checking that colours stay accurate on board because packaging requires higher resolution than a website image.
You need no previous design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Starting with no more than a logo, our team creates the structure and creates expertly designed, print-ready artwork alongside you, clarifying every technical decision when it arises.
Our digital design tool enables you to customise a box and preview its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping each repeat order remain consistent.
When you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh in English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, handled in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Tailored packaging for the Victoria’s enterprises
Food and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, and all food packaging which touches meat or dairy must comply with food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is made on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which means our food packaging is produced in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to listing products.
Refreshments and distilling venues
Over the past two decades, Wales has developed a real drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers throughout 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.
Skincare products and make-up items
Cosmetics and skincare companies need cartons that protect delicate glass packaging and compacts whilst presenting an appealing appearance on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, while rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
E-commerce and subscriber-based brands
Retail ready and display packaging has its role when products are placed on shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, yet subscription brands face an wholly different challenge.
Since the same customer unpacks an nearly identical box each month, preserving a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, made precisely to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure in transit and reduces damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product firmly in transit, while the design is immediately visible when the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that reorders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming progressively important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Bringing to Victoria from our Scotland atelier
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Victoria provided as standard.
The majority of orders reach a Victoria address within two to three weeks following proof approval, following the same schedule as our packaging throughout 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 making boxes on its own presses.
You will review a proof and, when the format requires it, a physical sample before full production starts. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Using a single box company for packaging throughout your entire product range makes everything simple.
Enjoy a single invoice and one point of contact, instead of seeking out multiple suppliers, each quoting a different price for another week.
Renewable packaging automatically
Each box we produce is entirely recyclable, because of the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified suppliers, with each sheet traceable through an audited chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill across our processes, as neither material is easy to recycle and both create disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection is used instead.
Zero minimum order for Victoria firms.
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to finance stock and storage prior to establishing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all.
Smaller businesses may place an order for one sample, a limited run for testing, or a complete production run after demand has been established, with the price per unit adjusting at each quantity throughout this range.
Prior to production begins, you will always be sent a written quote. 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 placing a large order, request a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits into your hand.
