Why choose made-to-measure packaging
A standard box leaves space around the item, letting it to move about during transit until somebody packs the space with foam or paper to keep it still.
Selecting off-the-shelf packaging with a label on the side may be easy, but it belongs to no one in particular.
At Custom Pack Studio, bespoke packaging is shaped around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We create custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies throughout Waunarlwydd and the valleys beyond. Orders can be as small as one sample or as large as a pallet delivered straight to your warehouse door!
We have no minimum order requirement for anything we make, allowing you to avoid storage and stock costs until a product’s sales potential is established.
Share your packaging specifications, and we will adapt the recommendation to the product.
What personalised packaging entails
With custom packaging, your box is created around the product from the outset, so its dimensions and print fit precisely what you are packing.
Choose the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without avoidable movement caused by a standard size.
Each element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is customised to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, requiring less work than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, each panel, fold and finish can be adjusted, even for just one unit, allowing you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Wrapping options we make for Waunarlwydd companies
We produce a full range of packaging boxes in bespoke sizes, printed in full colour with your artwork.
Selecting the most suitable box style and packaging format depends on your products and their handling requirements, which our packaging specialists will clearly explain.
Retail cartons and labelled packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons remain a familiar retail packaging choice for lightweight products, such as cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold neatly into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a type of lock box, offering a sturdier cardboard design with a base that snaps flat once opened, preventing heavier products from pushing the bottom out.
Mailer and web store packages
A custom mailer box protects your product across the courier network, transforming delivery into an exciting part of the brand experience while increasing visibility through printing on the inside as well as the outside, rather than just the outer face.
Gusseted variants of these custom printed boxes create extra depth, giving bulkier items space to sit securely.
Gift boxes, solid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide products bought as gifts the polished presentation customers expect, without customers needing to wrap them.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are great for food presents and hampers!
For high-end ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than conventional carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination finishes can further enhance the outcome.
Develop support for your Waunarlwydd identity
Every order comes with packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has advanced.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists prepare print ready files and check that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging requires higher resolution than a web image.
You do not need design experience to develop packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with just a logo. Together, they develop the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision along the way.
Our digital design tool allows you to customise a box and view its appearance on screen before printing begins. Pantone colour matching is also available, helping each repeat order stay consistent.
If you require packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team considers this to be a standard artwork requirement and handles it in the same way we would any other language or colour alteration.
Bespoke packaging for the Waunarlwydd’s enterprises
Cuisine and beverages
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef each hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while packaging that contacts meat or dairy must satisfy food contact standards, regardless of which side of the border it is made on.
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, ensuring our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review before welcoming products onto their shelves.
Beverages and distillation establishments
Over the past twenty years, Wales has developed a flourishing drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky producers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their visual appeal on the shelf, with finishes including foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact required for limited releases and seasonal gift sets.
Skincare and beauty products
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while being prominent on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes are suited to premium ranges that require a higher price point to be justified.
Online commerce and subscription labels
Retail ready and display packaging plays its part when products occupy shop shelves or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter an entirely different challenge.
Since the same customer opens an almost identical box every month, keeping a consistent finish is as important as the original design.
Effective online packaging, created exactly to fit your product packaging, keeps items secure during transit and lowers damage claims and returns.
Inside, a fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product securely during transport, as the print greets the eye as soon as the box opens.
Subscription brands that reorder monthly can keep pallet space and warehouse racking consistent by retaining a single box size. This becomes more important over time when order volumes rise above several hundred units.
Dispatching to Waunarlwydd from our Scotland plant
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Waunarlwydd provided as standard.
The majority of orders reach a Waunarlwydd address within two to three weeks after proof approval, keeping to the same schedule as 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.
You’ll check a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production starts. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Employing a sole box company for your entire product range makes packaging.
You receive one invoice and liaise with one contact, steering clear of multiple suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Sustainable packaging as usual
Every box we make is completely recyclable, with this recyclability stemming from the board itself.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, whilst an audited supply chain tracks each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are minimising single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is readily recyclable, and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection is employed instead of them.
No minimum order for Waunarlwydd businesses
Throughout the industry, custom packaging frequently necessitates minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, forcing you to fund stock and storage before knowing if a product will sell.
We have no minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may place an order for one sample, a limited run for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the per unit price varying at each quantity across this range.
Before production starts, you will always receive a written quotation. The high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are exactly the same as those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to making a bigger order, request a printed sample to evaluate the print, colour and how comfortably it sits into your hand.

Custom packaging Waunarlwydd Frequently Asked Questions
Will you furnish tailored packaging to Waunarlwydd?
Certainly. We make each item in Irvine, with standard delivery offered throughout the UK, including every part of Waunarlwydd and Wales, with no an extra charge for greater distance from the factory.
How many represents the lowest package level for Waunarlwydd?
There is no minimum order requirement. You may order a single box or several thousand in whatever format, with pricing based on quantity and confirmed in writing before production starts.
Which packaging components can I personalise?
Size, structure, board weight, print and finish can all be changed for each format, making sure the packaging meets your brief exactly. Branded packaging can additionally feature printing on both the interior and outside.
Can you please send samples of your packaging products before I place an order?
Yes. You get a sample printed and finished precisely as it would be in production, enabling you to check that the colours meet your brief and the board seems suitable before authorising a bulk order.
Will the packaging prove to be recyclable in addition to that can it turn out to be biodegradable?
Every box is 100% recyclable. We do not use plastic laminates which prevent recycling except when food safety requires them. Biodegradable protective materials are available where the format permits.
Can I reorder the same design in the future?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or repeating it for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
