How come a British producer suits Brierley Hill
Custom Pack Pack Studio is a part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a company that has been manufacturing print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you ask regarding a finish, a material or a deadline, you are speaking to someone who works with the press each day. They do not need to forward the question to an overseas factory and hold out for a response.
Domestic delivery is quick and reliable in a way an overseas order infrequently is.
The majority of orders are ready within two to three weeks after you approve the proof, and once shipped, our courier network delivers to Brierley Hill addresses within one to two working days.
Measure that against the typical 8 to 12 week baseline lead time for packaging imported from the EU or the Far East, before you even factor in a delayed container or a customs delay.
If you have got an important launch date or event deadline, please inform us at the inquiry stage.
We shall verify honestly whether the timescale is workable, rather than making a rapid turnaround that disappoints you.
Unique packaging for Brierley Hill firms
The box options we supply fit most products, and every one is made to your dimensions and finished with your branding.
The most suitable format is determined by how the product is sold and shipped, so the most direct way to get the right answer is to let know to our packaging experts what you are packing.
Sales and item packaging
A custom-printed carton takes care of the selling on the shelf when no one from your team is there to explain the product.
Reverse tuck-end boxes suit lighter retail items such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, while a crash-lock base holds heavier goods with a floor that won’t collapse in transit.
Both prints span every panel, inside and out, including the inside, so the branding is visible whatever way the box is set on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Packaging cartons for internet vendors
Brierley Hill’s e-commerce brands are dispatching continuously.
A bespoke mailer box is commonly the single tangible encounter a customer ever really has with a brand, because there is not any shop visit or face-to-face handover to rely on.
Marked inside and out, it safeguards the product throughout the courier network whilst making the unboxing itself a promotional opportunity. A well-fitted box also reduces the damage and returns that a ill-fitting one can lead to.
A plain brown outer helps the parcel delivered, but it gives the customer no clue about who sent it or why it looks that way.
Make a memorable initial impression as soon as your delivery arrives with Custom Pack Studio.
Presentation and Showcase Cases
Personalised gift boxes create a noticeable difference.
A solid box with an convenient closure, foil stamping on the lid, or a soft touch coating alters the way a product is viewed before it is even unwrapped.
It is indeed the case for jewellery, perfume and boutique food brands, where the packaging is part of what the customer has paid for.
The foil stamping finish serves as the last touch that makes the greatest impact on a shelf, catching light in a way flat print never can, while soft touch coating works better once the box is in someone’s hands, since it conveys quality the moment they feel it
Embossing falls between the two, positioning a logo that can be both felt and seen, and it is particularly effective on jewellery and perfume boxes where the surface itself forms part of the display.
Sleeves and wallets
Not every branding project needs a full box rebuild.
A custom-printed sleeve fits over an existing tray or product, giving your branding without the need to change the entire pack, making it perfect for a short promotional run or a seasonal edition.
A wallet style box folds neatly around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, while printed inserts assist in stopping loose items moving inside a larger box during transit.
Rippled boxes and transport boxes
A foldable carton can’t withstand a long courier delivery or shield a breakable item on its own.
Corrugated board is made for this purpose.
We produce corrugated cardboard boxes to custom pack sizes and present them in full-colour, so a Brierley Hill brand shipping nationwide gets cover and brand presence in one solution, much further than a basic double walled box with a sticker applied over the top.
Markets Covered in Brierley Hill
Brierley Hill’s company portfolio includes beauty and skincare businesses, jewellery brands, food producers, corporate premises, and online retailers.
Food and beverage businesses face the most demanding requirements, as product safety in contact with the product comes first over all concern of how the packaging appears.
This is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level really matters, whether you’re a small-scale bakery or a wholesale supplier. It is the standard that supermarket buyers and independent retailers usually want to see before they will list a new product.
Jewellery brands frequently get a higher return from their packaging investment than most different categories.
A sturdy box with a custom-fit insert is often used to house an item worth considerably more than the box itself, so the presentation must match that value.
Cosmetics and fragrance brands depend on protective fitments and premium finishes for the same reason. The product is small, so the box does the majority of the persuading on a shelf.
Online retail and recurring businesses need a mailer that gets to the customer through the courier network undamaged.
For a lot of online sellers, the parcel is the sole physical contact a customer has with the brand.
No minimum order, whichever quantity you want.
Request many packaging suppliers for 50 boxes printed with your own design on them.
You may often be requested to return only once you are ready to commit to to 500 or 1,000. For a Brierley Hill business evaluating a new product or trialling a small batch before growing, that is a substantial commitment.
There isn’t no set minimum requirement at all in place.
Order a single sample to evaluate print quality, 50 boxes for a local stall, or several thousand once a retail listing shows demand. The process and pricing structure stay consistent at every quantity.
Unit price reduces as volume grows, as is standard throughout the packaging industry.
Subsequent orders share the same artwork and setup, so you are never billed a second time for the design process.
We confirm costing and the lead time in writing before production begins, so there is no difference between the quotation and what appears on the invoice.
Visual design support ready whichever stage you’re in
You don’t need an internal designer to arrange custom packaging here.
If you have a logo and a general idea of what you want, that is enough to get started. Our team will determine the box structure, prepare the print ready artwork and present a proof for your approval before anything goes to press.
For the product that does not fit a standard off the shelf format, structural design is included in the price. It is never charged as an additional charge.
Images supplied as a JPEG are recreated to the required print specification.
Most artwork comes without the image resolution or bleed that a box actually needs.
Our team checks colour accuracy, resolution and bleed against the press profile before anything goes into production, so the printed result aligns with what you approved.
A design discussion is offered if you would rather to discuss the choices before finalising a specification.
You can also make use of our own online design tool if you want to create the artwork yourself.
Sustainably sourced, recyclable materials
Every carton we produce is entirely recyclable and made from board certified by FSC and PEFC. This means it can be traced through an checked supply chain back to a responsibly managed forest.
We are moving on from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range, substituting them for paper-based and compostable alternatives whenever the format permits. Those materials decompose properly at the end of their life in a way plastic and foam do not.
If a credible eco-friendly claim counts to you and your clients, we can assist walk you through the different ways your bespoke packaging can have an impact in reducing waste.
Discover Why Brierley Hill Businesses Select Custom Pack Studio as Their Packaging Supplier
One plant, from beginning to end
Every package we produce is trimmed, marked and finished entirely under one roof at our Irvine factory.
The very same team performs quality checks at every stage, instead of the work being passed from one to separate subcontractors.
A colour that seems correct on the screen does not always print the same in print, and the person reviewing it is the one operating the press.
Faults are spotted and fixed before a box ever reaches dispatch, by the same team that identified the issue first.
The board and ink also come from the same suppliers again and again, so a colour that matched with your original proof still matches with your fifth reorder two years later.
Supported by nearly thirty years in the print and packaging industry
Custom Pack Studio launched in 2025, yet the factory that supports it has a far longer history.
We are part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a major print and packaging manufacturer that has run presses since 1997.
That history gives us strong relationships with board mills and material suppliers. It also means a team that has already handled most of the issues a new packaging order can raise.
That is seen in fine details, such as understanding which board weight can withstand a courier journey.
It is also the reason we can manage a delicate perfume box and a robust shipping carton in the very same week, employing presses that have been managing both for years.
Your assigned contact during the whole order
Throughout your initial enquiry through to the completed delivery, you will be looked after by the same person from start to finish.
There is no handover between sales staff and a distinct production department.
They know already your requirements, your due date and the request you made at the proofing stage, so there is no requirement to repeat yourself at every point.
When a material is on back-order or a finish needs re-assessing, you will hear personally from the person handling your job.
It in addition means you never have to explain your order from scratch to someone new partway through the process.
You may get in touch with that person directly by phone, email, or text, without first having to use a general enquiries inbox.
A identical method, irrespective of the quantity
A single sample and a five thousand unit reorder both undergo the same proofing and quality checks before either exits the factory.
No thing is sped along just because the run is short, and no thing is checked more closely simply because it is large.
A Brierley Hill company testing a new product receives the same standard as one submitting a reorder for a national retail listing. The approach is kept the same, whatever order size.
That uniformity is important much more than the amount achieved from a greater run, as a mismatched batch costs further to correct than it saved in per-unit cost.
Whether it is 50 units for a market test or several thousand for a retail launch, the proofing sign off follows the identical process each time.
