The Reason a UK Producer Operates in service of Bracknell
Custom Pack Pack Studio is one part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a company that has been producing print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you ask about a surface finish, a material choice or a time frame, you are dealing to someone who handles the press on a daily basis. They do do not have to pass the question to an abroad factory and hold on for an answer.
UK to UK delivery is quick and consistent in a way that overseas orders seldom are.
The majority of requests are prepared in two to three weeks after you approve the proof, and once sent, our courier network transports to Bracknell addresses in one to two working days.
Contrast that with the typical eight-to-twelve-week baseline lead time for packaging shipped from the EU or the Far East, before you even factor in a late container or a customs holdup.
If you have an significant launch date or event deadline, tell us at the enquiry stage.
We shall confirm openly whether the timeline works, rather than guaranteeing a response that leaves you disappointed.
Specialised Parceling for Bracknell Companies
The formats we provide cover most products, and every one is crafted to your specified dimensions and printed with your logo.
The right option is determined by the way in which the product is marketed sent, so the most efficient way to get the right answer is to inform our packaging experts what you are putting in .
Retail and Goods Packaging
A branded carton promotes the product in-store when nobody from your team is present to talk through it.
Reverse tuck end boxes are ideal for lighter retail goods such as beauty products, supplements and cosmetics, while a crash lock base provides bulkier items with a strong floor that will not buckle in transit.
Both is printed on every panel, including inside, so the branding remains visible regardless of how the box is positioned on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Packaging Boxes for Digital Retailers
Bracknell’s online brands are shipping constantly.
A custom mailer box is typically the sole tangible touchpoint a customer has with the brand, as there is no shop visit or in person handover to rely on.
Produced throughout, it safeguards the product across the courier network while making the unboxing itself part of the marketing. A correctly sized box also cuts the damage and returns that a poorly sized one can cause.
A plain brown brown outer helps the parcel delivered, but it offers the customer no clue about who sent it or why it seems that way.
Create a lasting initial impression the moment your delivery arrives with Custom Pack Studio.
Gift and Showcase Containers
Tailored gift boxes create a noticeable difference.
A rigid box with a seamless closure, foil stamping on the lid, or a velvety coating alters how a product feels before it is even opened.
It is precisely the case for jewellery, perfume and boutique food brands, where the packaging forms part of what the customer has paid for.
Foil stamping is the final effect that stands out most on a shelf, grabbing the light in a way standard printing never can, while soft touch coating is more effective once the box is in someone’s hands, as it suggests quality the moment it is touched.
Embossing sits between the two, positioning a logo you can simultaneously see and feel, and it works especially well on jewellery and perfume boxes, where the surface itself becomes part of the overall presentation.
Sleeves and wallets
Not every branding projects need a full box reconstruction.
A printed sleeve slides over an existing tray or product and adds your branding without the need to revamp the whole pack, making it ideal for a short promotional run or a holiday variant.
A wallet style box wraps neatly around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, while printed inserts prevent loose items from shifting inside a larger box during transit.
Rigid Crates and Transport Parcels
A fold-away carton will never survive a lengthy courier journey or a breakable item by itself.
Layered board is designed for this purpose.
We make corrugated cardboard boxes to bespoke pack sizes and print them in full colour, so a Bracknell brand shipping across the country enjoys safeguarding and brand presentation woven into one format, well beyond a plain double walled box with a sticker simply placed on top.
Fields Served Within Bracknell
Bracknell’s client mix features beauty and skincare brands, jewellery makers, food producers, corporate offices and e-commerce companies.
Food-and-drink businesses have the most stringent requirements, as contact safety in contact with the product takes priority over any regard of how the box seems.
This is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level makes all the difference, if you are a small batch bakery or a wholesale supplier. It’s the standard that supermarket buyers and independent retailers often want to see before they will stock a new product.
Jewellery brands often derive more value from their packaging investment than many other business sectors.
A solid box with a fitted insert is typically containing an piece worth considerably more than the box itself, so the packaging must match that importance.
Cosmetics and perfume brands rely on protective fitments and premium finishes for the same reason. The product is small, so the box carries out most of the selling on a shelf.
Online retail and subscription businesses need a mailer that can survive the courier network intact.
For many online sellers, the parcel is frequently the only tangible contact a customer has with the brand.
There is no minimum order, any quantity welcomed
Ask many packaging suppliers for 50 boxes branded with your own design on them.
You will commonly be requested to return only when you can agree to 500, a considerable requirement for a Bracknell business evaluating a new product or trying a small batch before it grows.
We do not set any minimum whatsoever.
Request one sample to evaluate the print quality, 50 boxes for a market stall, or thousands once a retail listing shows market demand. The process and pricing structure remain the same at each quantity.
The unit price decreases as volume grows, as is standard throughout the packaging industry.
Reorders share the original artwork and arrangement, so you are not charged twice for the design work.
We verify costs and lead times in writing before production commences, helping to ensure there is no any discrepancy between the quotation and the amount shown on the invoice.
Guidance with design offered, no matter stage you are at
You do not need an in house designer to order bespoke packaging here.
If you already have a logo and a basic idea of what you are looking for, that is sufficient to get started. Our team will sort out the box structure, prepare the print ready artwork and provide you with a proof to approve before anything goes to press.
For a item that does not fit an off-the-shelf format, structural design is included in the price. It is not charged as an extra.
Files provided as a JPEG or screenshot are converted to suitable print specification.
Most designs is sent in without the image resolution or bleed that a box really requires
Our staff verifies colour accuracy, resolution and bleed in line with the press profile before any job enters production, helping to ensure the finished print matches what you confirmed.
A design consultation is on offer if you would rather to talk through the options before confirming a specification.
You can equally use our own online design tool if you want to design the artwork yourself.
Responsibly sourced, recyclable materials
Every box we manufacture is entirely recyclable and made from board that carries FSC and PEFC certification. This indicates it can be traced through an independently audited supply chain to a responsibly managed forest.
We are shifting away from single-use plastic and EPS foam across the range, swapping them with paper and biodegradable and biodegradable substitutes wherever the format allows. These materials break down naturally at the end of their life in a way plastic and foam do not.
If a convincing sustainability claim matters to your business and your customers, we can help guide you through the various ways your bespoke packaging helps have an impact by reducing waste.
The Reasons Bracknell Businesses Prefer Our Custom Pack Studio as Their Preferred Packaging Supplier
An individual plant, from inception to completion
Each box we produce is trimmed, decorated and completed entirely within our Irvine factory.
A single team monitors quality at every stage, rather than the work being transferred from one subcontractor to another.
A shade that seems accurate on screen will not necessarily print the same, and the person reviewing it is the one using the press.
Issues are detected and sorted out before a box gets to dispatch, by the same team that spotted the problem in the first place.
Board and ink are also sourced from the same suppliers again and again, so a colour tone that matched exactly your first proof will also match your fifth reorder two years later.
Backed by just under three decades in print and packaging solutions
Custom Pack Studio launched in 2025, although the factory behind it reaches back a lot further back.
We are members of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, an established print and packaging manufacturer operating presses since 1997.
That history gives us excellent relationships with board mills and material suppliers. It also means a team that has already tackled many of the issues a new packaging order can bring up.
That frequently appears in the small details, such as understanding which board weight can withstand a courier journey.
It is also why we can manage a delicate perfume box and a heavy duty shipping carton in the same week, using presses that have managed both for a number of years.
One dedicated contact during the whole order
You will speak to the very same person from your initial enquiry right through to the completed delivery.
There is no handover between your sales team and a separate production department.
They understand your specifications, your deadline and what you requested at the proofing stage, so you needn’t say it again at every step.
If a product is on backorder or a finish calls for reconsideration, you will hear about it personally from the individual managing your work.
It also means you are never having to recount your order from the beginning to a different person halfway through the process.
You can call, email or message that person straight away, without requiring you to go through a general enquiries inbox first.
The same process, irrespective of the amount.
A single sample and a five thousand unit reorder receive the same proof and quality checks before either exits the factory.
Nothing is hurried just because the run is small, and nothing is examined in greater detail merely because it is large.
A Bracknell business testing a new product gets the same level as one placing a repeat order for a national retail listing. The process remains unchanged, regardless of the order size.
That consistency counts considerably more than the savings gained from a larger run, as a inconsistent batch takes extra to correct than it saved in per-unit cost.
Whether that is 50 units for a market trial or several many for a retail rollout, the proofing sign off operates in exactly the same way each time.
