Why pick bespoke packaging?
A standard box creates space around the product, making it rattle in transit until foam or paper is added to stop movement.
Standard packaging with a sticker affixed is the simple choice, yet it has not been designed specifically for anyone.
Custom Pack Studio designs bespoke packaging around your product, ensuring the box, print and finish suit your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We produce bespoke boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for companies across Wynnstay and the surrounding valleys, with orders spanning a single sample to a full pallet delivered directly to a warehouse door.
We have no minimum order on anything we produce, meaning you avoid stock and storage costs until a product demonstrates that it sells.
Provide your packaging requirements, and we’ll tailor the recommendation to suit the product perfectly.
What tailored packaging signifies
Custom packaging starts with your product, with the box dimensions and print specification designed to suit precisely what you are packing.
You select the dimensions, allowing a made-to-measure box to keep the product securely without movement caused by excess space in a standard size.
The structure, board weight, print and finish are custom designed as well, carefully matched to what is being packed and the way it travels.
Printing a logo on a stock box produces personalised packaging, needing less work than a fully customisable design.
With bespoke packaging, every panel, fold and finish can be tailored, including a single item, enabling you to create packaging that fits perfectly without compromise.
Packing options we create for Wynnstay companies
We make a comprehensive range of packaging boxes to bespoke sizes, printed in full colour using your artwork.
The best-suited box style and packaging type depend on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging experts will talk you through the options!
Retail cartons and custom branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are still a familiar retail packaging choice for lighter products, such as cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that fold tidily into both the top and bottom.
Crash lock boxes are more robust cardboard lock boxes with a base that snaps flat when opened, stopping heavier items from forcing the bottom out.
Parcel and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product throughout 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 also available with gussets, creating additional depth so bulkier items can sit securely without shifting.
Gift boxes, sturdy boxes and gable-top boxes
Rigid boxes, magnetic close gift boxes and additional branded boxes give products purchased as gifts with the polished presentation customers anticipate, removing the need for customers to wrap them on their own.
Gable boxes, featuring a fold up carry handle, are suitable for food gifts and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may specify SBS board, meaning, solid bleached sulphate, a bright, safe for food contact paperboard, rather than standard carton stock. Foil and soft touch lamination can enhance further the finish.
Craft support for your Wynnstay brand
Every order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
If you have a logo and brand guidelines, our design experts create print-ready files and check that colours remain accurate on board, because packaging needs higher resolution than an image on a website.
You don’t need design experience to create packaging that suits your brand. Our team can begin with only a logo. Together, they develop the structure and expertly crafted print ready artwork, while guiding you through each technical decision throughout the process.
Our online tool lets you personalise a box and preview its appearance before printing. Pantone colour matching keeps each repeat order consistent.
When you need packaging printed bilingually 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 Wynnstay’s specialised industries
Food and drinks
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both 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 manufactured in controlled and traceable conditions that retailers verify before listing products.
Drinks and spirit-makers
During the past two decades, Wales has built a real drinks scene, spanning Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must withstand transit while retaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing delivering much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and beauty products
Cosmetic and skincare brands need cartons that protect delicate glass and compacts while being prominent on the shelf.
We produce cosmetics packaging with soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whereas rigid boxes provide premium ranges the presence to support a higher price point.
Online shopping and subscription companies
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products are placed in shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a different challenge.
Since the same customer opens an nearly identical box every month, preserving a consistent finish is just as important as the original design.
Precisely sized e commerce packaging holds products securely during transit, helping to prevent damage, lower claims and minimise returns.
A bespoke insert or printed tissue secures the product during transit, whilst ensuring the print stays immediately visible when the box opens.
For a subscription-based brand that reorders each month, maintaining uniform box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes surpass several hundred units.
Shipping to Wynnstay from our Scotland manufacturing site
Everything is produced at our Irvine facility, with UK delivery to businesses in Wynnstay provided as standard.
The majority of orders arrive at a Wynnstay address within two to three weeks following proof approval, using the same timetable as all our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio is owned by KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997, meaning an long-standing team produces the boxes using its own presses.
You will check a proof and, where the format calls for it, a physical sample before full production begins. Reorders use the same artwork, so scaling up never means beginning from scratch!
Working with one box company for packaging throughout your whole product line makes everything straightforward.
You have a single invoice and a single dedicated point of contact, rather than pursuing multiple suppliers, each giving a different price for a different week.
Sustainable packaging as standard
Each box we make is entirely recyclable, thanks to the board it is made from.
Our board and paper are sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sources, whilst an audited supply chain traces each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting back on 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 is utilised instead.
Not any minimum purchase requirement for Wynnstay enterprises
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging requires minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, requiring you to fund stock and storage prior to determining whether a product will sell.
We do not have a minimum order requirement.
Small businesses may order a single sample, a limited run for testing, or a full production run after demand has been established, with the per unit price varying at each quantity throughout this range.
You will always receive a written quote before production begins, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those supplied for a run of ten thousand.
Prior to ordering in volume, request a printed sample and examine its print, colour and how it sits in your hand.

Personalised packaging Wynnstay FAQs
Can you provide custom packaging to Wynnstay?
Certainly. Everything is made in Irvine, with standard delivery throughout the UK, including every part of Wynnstay and throughout Wales. We do not charge extra for distance from the factory.
What the minimum amount to place packaging at Wynnstay?
There is no minimum order. We can manufacture one box or thousands in any format, with quantity-based pricing confirmed in a written quotation before manufacture starts.
Which packaging aspects can I tailor?
Every format can be customised in terms of size, structure, board weight, print and finish, ensuring your packaging meets the brief perfectly. Want to make an impact? Your branded packaging order can include printing both inside and outside.
Could I have samples of your packaging products before confirming an order?
Yes. The sample is printed and finished to exactly the same standard as a production run, allowing you to verify that the colours meet your brief and that the board has the right feel before authorising a bulk order.
Is the packaging able to be recycled and compostable?
Each box is fully recyclable. We steer clear of plastic laminates that prevent recycling, unless food safety makes them essential, while biodegradable protective materials are offered wherever the format permits.
Can someone place the same layout later?
Yes, reorders are produced from the same artwork file, so increasing an order or placing it again for a new season does not require the packaging to be redesigned from the beginning.
