The Reason an UK Supplier Performs alongside Weymouth
Custom Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a manufacturer that has been manufacturing print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you enquire about a finish, the material or a deadline, you are dealing directly with someone who operates the press every day. They do not need to send the question on to an overseas factory and await a response.
UK to UK delivery is speedy and reliable in a way that overseas orders rarely are.
Most orders are prepared within 2 to 3 weeks after you sign off on the proof, and once sent, our courier network delivers to Weymouth addresses within one to two working days.
Contrast that with the standard 8 to 12 week standard lead time for packaging shipped in from the EU or the Far East, before you even factor in a late container or a customs delay.
If you have an significant launch date or event deadline, tell us at the initial contact stage.
We shall confirm candidly whether the timescale fits, rather than guaranteeing a response that leaves you let down.
Custom packaging for Weymouth businesses
The box styles we offer suit most products, and every one is created to your dimensions and supplied with your branding.
Which configuration fits is determined on how the product is marketed and delivered, so the quickest way to get the right solution is by letting our packaging experts exactly what you are packing.
Commercial and Merchandise Packaging
A branded carton sells the product at point of sale when no one from your team is present to talk through it.
Reverse tuck end boxes are well matched to lighter retail goods such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, while a crash lock base provides heavier items a floor that won’t fail in transit.
Each of the two prints stretch across every panel, including the inside, so the branding stays visible regardless of how the box is positioned on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Mailer boxes for online vendors
Weymouth’s e-commerce brands are shipping constantly.
A bespoke mailer box is frequently the only physical contact a customer has with a brand, as there is no shop visit or face to face handover to rely on.
Printed inside and out, it helps protect the product within the courier network whilst turning the unboxing itself a marketing opportunity. An appropriately fitted box also reduces the damage and returns that a ill-fitting one can create.
A unmarked brown outer will bring the parcel, but it gives away nothing to the customer about who sent it or why it looks the way it does.
Make a lasting impact from the second it arrives with Custom Pack Studio.
Gift and Presentation Boxes
Personalised gift boxes are important.
A sturdy box with an effortless closure, foil stamping on the lid, or a matte coating alters the way a product feels before it is even opened.
It is exactly the case for jewellery, perfume and boutique food brands, where the packaging is part of what the customer has paid for.
Hot foil stamping is the finish that works hardest on a shelf, drawing the light in a way flat print never can, while soft touch coating has the greatest impact once the box is in their hands, as it signals quality the moment they feel it.
Embossing bridges the two, forming a logo you can both see and feel, and it is particularly well effective on jewellery and perfume boxes, where the surface forms part of the presentation.
Sleeves and wallets
Not all branding project requires a complete box rebuild.
A custom-printed sleeve slips over an existing tray or product, including your branding without the need to rework the entire pack, making it ideal for a brief promotional run or a limited-edition variant.
A wallet style box folds neatly around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, and printed inserts stop loose items from shifting inside a larger box during transit.
Rigid Boxes and Transport Cartons
A folding carton will not withstand a prolonged courier journey or a fragile item by itself.
Corrugated board is designed for this purpose.
We make corrugated cardboard boxes to specific pack sizes and finish them in full-colour, so a Weymouth brand shipping nationwide gets protection and presentation in one in one format, much further than a plain double walled box with a sticker applied on top.
Industries Which We Specialize In Across Weymouth
Weymouth’s business portfolio encompasses beauty and skincare brands, jewellery makers, food producers, corporate offices and e-commerce companies.
Food and drink businesses have the tightest requirements, as safety in contact with the product takes priority over any consideration of how the box appears.
That is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level really matters, whether you are a small batch bakery or a wholesale supplier. It is the standard that retail buyers and independent shops typically want to see before they will stock a new product.
Jewellery brands regularly gain more from their packaging investment than most other categories.
A sturdy box with a custom-fitted insert frequently holds an item worth considerably more than the box itself, so the packaging must match that worth.
Cosmetics and perfume brands depend on protective fitments and premium finishes for largely the same reason. The product itself is compact, so the box does most of the selling on the shelf.
E-commerce and recurring businesses need packaging that gets to customers through the courier network in one piece.
For a lot of online merchants, the parcel is the sole physical point of interaction a customer has with the brand.
Absolutely no minimum order, whatever quantity you need.
The majority of packaging suppliers will supply 50 boxes printed with your personal design.
You will frequently be asked to return once you are ready to order to 500. That is a significant demand for a Weymouth business trialling a new product or trialling a small batch before expanding.
There is no minimum requirement at all.
Buy one sample to assess print quality, 50 boxes for a market stall, or a few thousand once a retail listing demonstrates market demand. The process and pricing structure stay the same at each quantity.
The unit cost goes down as the quantity goes up, which is common throughout the packaging industry.
Repeat orders retain the original artwork and arrangement, so you are not ever charged twice for the design work.
We verify pricing and lead time in writing before production starts, so there is no real difference between the estimate and the invoice amount.
Design support on hand whatever stage you’re at
You do not need an in-house designer to order bespoke packaging here.
If you have your logo and an approximate idea of what you want, that is enough to get started. Our team will determine the box structure, prepare the print ready artwork and share a proof for your approval before anything goes to press.
For a product that is not suited to an ready-made format, the structural design is included in the price. It is not charged as an extra.
Designs provided as a JPEG file are rebuilt to meet standard print settings.
The majority of artwork arrives without the resolution or bleed that a box actually needs.
Our group reviews colour accuracy, resolution and bleed against the press profile prior to anything goes into production, so the printed result matches what you confirmed.
A design appointment is available if you would rather to discuss the options before committing to a specification.
You can additionally use our online design tool if you would like to make the artwork yourself.
Recyclable, consciously sourced materials
Every container we produce is completely recyclable and made from material bearing FSC and PEFC approval. So it can be followed through an reviewed supply chain right back to a responsibly managed forest.
We’re transitioning away from single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the product range, changing them to paper based and compostable alternatives wherever the format allows. Those materials break down properly at the end of their life in a way that plastic and foam do not.
If a credible environmental claim matters to you and your audience, we can guide you through the various ways your bespoke packaging helps have an impact by minimising waste.
Why Weymouth businesses select Custom Pack Studio as the packaging provider
Single Plant, Beginning from Beginning to Conclusion
Every box we make is trimmed, printed and finished entirely under one roof at our Irvine factory.
A same team oversees quality at every step, rather than the work moving between different subcontractors.
A colour that looks correct on screen will not always print identically, and the person checking it is the one using the press.
Issues are detected and fixed before a box reaches dispatch, by the same team that noticed the issue at the outset.
The board and ink are obtained from the same suppliers every time, so a colour that matched exactly your first proof will still match your fifth reorder after two years.
Supported by close to thirty years in printing and packaging
The Pack Studio was launched in 2025, yet the factory behind it dates back much further.
We are part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a leading print and packaging manufacturer running presses since 1997.
That history gives us well-established relationships with board mills and material suppliers. It also indicates we have a group that has already navigated many of the issues a new packaging order can present.
That commonly shows itself in the small details, such as understanding which board weight can endure a courier journey.
It is equally why we can manage a delicate perfume box and a heavy duty shipping carton in the same week, using presses that have processed both for years.
A dedicated contact during the complete order
You will deal with the very same person from your initial enquiry right through to the final delivery.
There is not any handoff between the sales team and a separate production team.
They already know your spec, your due date and the details you requested at the proofing stage, so there is no requirement to say it again at each stage.
If a item is on backorder or a finish option needs reviewing, you will hear it straight from the person managing your job.
It further means you are never having to explain your order from scratch to a different person partway through production.
You may reach that person straight away by phone, electronic mail, or text, without needing to use a main enquiries inbox.
A identical process no matter the volume
A solo sample and a five thousand unit reorder are subject to the very same proofing and quality checks before either departs from the factory.
Nothing is rushed through because the project is small, and nothing is given extra scrutiny because it is large.
A Weymouth organisation trialling a new product receives the same standard as one submitting a reorder for a national retail listing. The process does not change according to the order size.
That uniformity is important far more than the cost saving from a more extensive run, because a mismatched batch ultimately costs more to fix than it saved in cost per unit.
Whether it is fifty for market testing or several thousand for a retail rollout, the proofing sign off functions in the same way on every occasion.
