Why you ought to go with personalised packaging
A typical box creates empty space around the product, allowing it to rattle during transit until somebody fills the gap with foam or paper to keep it still.
Standard packaging with a sticker is straightforward, but it is designed for no one in particular.
Custom Pack Studio produces custom-made packaging for your product, making sure that the box, print and finish complement your brand instead of overshadowing it.
We make custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Whitchurch 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 that a product sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll customise the recommendation to fit the product precisely.
What bespoke packaging entails
Custom packaging forms the box around your product from the start, with its dimensions and print customised to what you are packing.
By selecting the dimensions, you make sure that a custom sized box holds the product firmly, rather than allowing it to rattle within the unnecessary space of a standard size.
Every element, ranging from the structure and board weight to the print and finish, is tailored to the contents and their journey.
Printing a logo onto a stock box creates personalised packaging, involving less work than a completely customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, even for a single item, allowing you to create packaging that fits precisely and without compromise.
Packing options we produce for Whitchurch organisations
We manufacture a full range of packaging boxes, tailored to custom sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the right box style and packaging depends on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists will guide you through the options available.
Retail cartons and tailored branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a popular choice for retail packaging, ideal for lighter products like cosmetics and supplements, featuring flaps that fold inwards at both the upper end and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are a more robust type of lock box, constructed from cardboard and having a base that snaps flat when opened, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Delivery and online retail boxes
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.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide extra depth, allowing bulkier items to sit securely without moving.
Present boxes, solid boxes and gable boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and other branded boxes provide presents with polished presentation customers expect, without them needing to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes, featuring a handle which folds up, are well suited to food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, rather than standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination improve the final effect.
Create aid for your Whitchurch company
Each order comes with packaging design assistance, regardless of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design specialists create print ready files and check that colours reproduce accurately on board, because packaging requires greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need any previous experience in design to develop packaging that reflects your brand. We can begin with just a logo. Together, you will determine the structure and produce professionally designed, print ready artwork, as we explain every technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool allows you to customise a box and preview its appearance on screen prior to printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders stay consistent.
If you need packaging printed in both English and Welsh, our team regards this as a standard artwork requirement and handles it just as we would any other language or colour alteration.
Tailored packaging for the Whitchurch’s industries
Cuisine and refreshments
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both hold Protected Geographical Indication status, while all packaging that is in contact with meat or dairy must satisfy food contact requirements, regardless of which side of the border it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, confirming our food packaging is made in controlled, traceable conditions that retailers review prior to stocking products onto their shelves.
Beverages and spirit makers
During the last twenty years, Wales has built up a flourishing drinks industry, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky makers in the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing contributing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Make-up and glamour
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts whilst looking good 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.
Ecommerce and recurring brands
Retail and display packaging is significant when a product is placed in a shop or marketplace fulfilment centre, whereas subscription brands face a different assessment.
Every month, the same customer returns to an nearly identical box, making a reliable finish equally important as the initial design.
Effective ecommerce packaging, tailored precisely to your product packaging, secures items in transit while cutting damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue keeps the product secure in transit, while the print remains in view as soon as the box is opened.
For a subscription brand that reorders each month, keeping uniform box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Transporting to Whitchurch from our Scotland atelier
All items are produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Whitchurch provided as standard.
After proof approval is secured, most orders reach at a Whitchurch address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio forms part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its long-standing team makes the boxes using its own presses.
You sign off on a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production begins, while reorders keep the original artwork, meaning larger quantities require no fresh preparation.
Employing a single box company for packaging across your entire range of products keeps everything straightforward.
Have a single invoice and one point of contact, rather than seeking out multiple suppliers, each offering a different price for another week.
Ethical packaging as the default
Each box we manufacture is 100% recyclable since its board is recyclable.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while audits trace every sheet through the supply chain to responsibly managed forests.
We are reducing single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither can be readily recycled, and both create difficulties with disposal after a parcel has been opened.
Where the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection replaces them.
No minimum purchase for Whitchurch companies
Throughout the industry, custom packaging often requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, leaving you to fund stock and storage before discovering whether your product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Small businesses may order a single sample, limited runs for testing, or a complete production run once demand has been established, with the unit price varying according to the quantity ordered.
Before production starts, you will always receive a written quotation, whereas the high-quality materials and packaging products supplied for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to placing a large order, obtain a printed sample to evaluate its print, colour and its fit in your hand.

Every box is 100% recyclable. We avoid plastic laminates that prevent recycling except when food safety requires them, while biodegradable protective materials are employed whenever the format allows.
