Explanations select bespoke packaging
A conventional box leaves space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until foam or paper is introduced to prevent movement.
Typical packaging with a sticker affixed is the simple choice, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio produces custom-made packaging particularly for your product, ensuring the box, print and finish support your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We produce custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses across Welshpool 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 require no minimum order, so stock and storage costs remain out of the picture until you know whether a product sells.
Tell us about your packaging requirements, and we will tailor the recommendation to suit the product itself.
What bespoke packaging means
Custom packaging starts with a box designed specifically for your product, so its dimensions and printed finish exactly reflect what it contains.
Choose the dimensions, enabling a custom-sized box to hold the product firmly without unnecessary movement created by a standard size.
Even the structure, board weight, print and finish are bespoke to accommodate what is being packed and how it travels!
Printing a logo onto a stock box constitutes personalised packaging, a more limited undertaking than entirely customisable design.
With tailored packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be altered, even for just one unit, enabling you to create custom packaging that fits exactly.
Package formats we create for Welshpool firms
We supply an comprehensive range of packaging boxes, manufactured to custom dimensions and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Selecting the suitable 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.
Retail cartons and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons continue to be a standard for retail packaging, well suited for lighter products including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold in at both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Shipping and digital shop cartons
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout the courier network, while turning delivery into part of the brand experience and increasing visibility by printing on both its interior and exterior, not just its outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, allowing bulkier items space to rest securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic closure gift boxes and other branded boxes provide purchases made as gifts with the presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything on their own.
Gable boxes, fitted with a handle that folds upwards, make an excellent choice for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may choose SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the final effect.
Build guidance for your Welshpool company
Every order includes packaging design support, regardless of how far your artwork has advanced.
After your logo and brand guidelines are established, our design experts create files ready for print and make sure colours remain true on board, where packaging demands greater resolution than website imagery.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can start with only just a logo. Working together, they establish the structure and create expertly designed, print ready artwork, explaining each technical decision as the project progresses.
Our online tool enables you to personalise a box and preview its look on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures consistency each time you place a repeat order.
When you need packaging printed bilingually in English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement, managed in precisely the same way as any other language or colour change.
Personalised packaging for Welshpool’s companies
Cuisine and drink
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 have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is made in carefully controlled, traceable conditions that retailers assess before listing a product.
Drinks and spirit producers
During the past twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and more recent gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while maintaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing contributing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Skincare products and make-up items
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect fragile glass and compacts while looking presentable on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes give premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Internet commerce and recurring categories
Retail and display packaging is key when a product is placed in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands encounter a different assessment.
Each month, the same customer opens a nearly identical box, making a uniform finish every bit as important as the initial design.
High-grade e-commerce packaging, made exactly to fit your product packaging, holds items safe in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A bespoke insert or printed tissue holds securely the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print remains visible straight away as the box opens.
When a subscription brand places repeat orders monthly, maintaining uniform box dimensions makes pallet capacity and warehouse racking easy to anticipate, an increasingly important consideration once volumes exceed several hundred units.
Delivering to Welshpool from our Scottish studio
Everything is made at our Irvine facility, with standard UK delivery to businesses in Welshpool.
The majority of orders reach a Welshpool address within two to three weeks following proof approval, using the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established packaging manufacturer printing and producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes using its own presses!
You’ll check a proof and, when required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins. Repeat orders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means starting from scratch!
Using one box company for packaging throughout your entire product line keeps everything straightforward.
You have one invoice and one contact, removing the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Environmentally friendly packaging as commonplace
Every box we make is fully recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
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 are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes, as neither material is easy to recycle and both cause disposal difficulties after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design permits, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place.
There is no minimum order for Welshpool enterprises.
Across much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage prior to establishing whether a product will sell.
There is no minimum order requirement at all!
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 scaling 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 are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, ask for a physical sample to evaluate its printing, colour and how it fits in your hand.
