Reasons why a United Kingdom manufacturer company is a good match for Coseley
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a producer that has been producing print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you ask about a finish, a material or a deadline, you are dealing with someone who works with the press each day. They do not need to pass the question to an overseas factory and hold out for a response.
Domestic delivery is quick and consistent in a way an international order infrequently is.
Most orders are completed within two to three weeks after you confirm the proof, and once sent, our courier network delivers to Coseley addresses within one to two working days.
Contrast that with the usual eight to twelve week baseline lead time for packaging brought in from the EU or the Far East, before you even allow for a delayed container or a customs delay.
If you have an imminent launch date or event deadline, please inform us at the initial enquiry stage.
We shall verify candidly whether the timeline works, rather than guaranteeing a response that disappoints you.
Bespoke Parceling for Coseley Enterprises
Our box sizes include a wide range of products, and each one is crafted to your measurements and supplied with your brand details.
The ideal format is determined by how the product is sold and shipped, so the fastest way to obtain the right answer is to let know to our packaging experts what you are packing.
Retail and Product Packaging
A branded carton handles the selling on the shelf when no one from your team is there to describe the product.
Reverse tuck-end boxes are ideal to lightweight retail goods such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, whereas a crash-lock base offers heavier items with a firm floor that will stay intact during transit.
Each print designs across every panel, covering the inside, so the branding stays in view regardless of how the box ends up sited on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Shipping Boxes for Online Sellers
Coseley’s online brands are dispatching constantly.
A bespoke mailer box is frequently the only tangible touchpoint a customer has with the brand, as there is no shop visit or in person handover to rely on.
Printed inside and out, it helps protect the product throughout the courier network whilst making the unboxing itself a promotional opportunity. An appropriately fitted box also lowers the damage and returns that a ill-fitting one can create.
A simple brown outer will get the parcel dispatched, but it gives the customer no clue as to who sent it or why it appears that way.
Make a strong impression from the second it comes with Custom Pack Studio.
Display and Presentation Cases
Personalised gift boxes can be significant.
A rigid box with an easy closure, foil print on the lid, or a soft touch coating changes the way a product is viewed before it is even unwrapped.
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 surface treatment that stands out most on a shelf, catching the light in a way plain print never can, while soft touch coating is more effective once the box is in someone’s hands, as it communicates quality the moment it is touched.
Embossing falls between the two, adding a logo that can be noticed by touch and sight, and it is particularly effective on jewellery and perfume boxes where the surface itself forms part of the display.
Sleeves and wallets
Not all branding project requires a full box rebuild.
A printed sleeve slides over an existing tray or product, including your branding without the need to rethink the entire pack, making it ideal for a short promotional run or a limited-edition variant.
A wallet style box folds around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, and custom printed inserts help keep loose items from sliding inside a larger box during transport.
Corrugated Crates and Shipping Parcels
A cardboard carton can’t withstand a protracted courier journey or shield a delicate item by itself.
Fluted board is made for that purpose.
We produce corrugated cardboard boxes to specific pack sizes and print them in full-colour print, so a Coseley brand shipping throughout the UK gets security and presentation in one solution, much more than a plain double walled box with a sticker applied on top.
Markets We Serve Across Coseley
Coseley’s business mix covers beauty and skincare brands, jewellery makers, food producers, corporate offices and e-commerce companies.
Food and drink businesses face the strictest requirements, as safety in contact with the product is prioritised over all consideration of how the packaging appears.
This is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level really matters, if you are a small batch bakery or a wholesale supplier. This is the standard that supermarket buyers and independent retailers typically want to see before they will list a new product.
Jewelry brands regularly gain greater value from their packaging investment than the majority of other business sectors.
A solid box with a tailored insert often contains an item worth far more than the box itself, so the presentation must reflect that importance.
Cosmetics and perfume brands rely on protective packaging and premium finishes for much the same reason. The product itself is tiny, so the box does much of the convincing on the shelf.
E-commerce and recurring businesses require a mailer that can endure the courier network undamaged.
For numerous online sellers, the parcel is the sole tangible point of contact a customer at any point has with the brand.
No Minimum Order,Whatever Quantity Is Welcome
Request many packaging suppliers for 50 boxes printed with your own design on them.
You will often be expected to respond once you are ready to order to one thousand. That is a significant demand for a Coseley business evaluating a new product or testing a small batch before growing.
There is no minimum requirement at all.
Request a single sample to evaluate print quality, fifty boxes for a market stall, or thousands once a retail listing proves market demand. The process and pricing structure remain the same at all quantities.
Unit price lowers as quantity rises, which is standard throughout the packaging sector.
Repeat orders utilise the same artwork and setup, so you are never charged twice for the design work.
We confirm the price and timescale in a written form before production commences, so there is no difference between the quote and the invoice.
Creative support provided no matter what stage you are at
You needn’t have an in house designer to order custom packaging here.
If you have a logo and a general idea of what you want, that will be enough to begin. Our team will define the box structure, produce the print ready artwork and provide you with a proof for approval before anything goes to print.
For the product that does not fit a standard off the shelf format, structural design is covered in the price. It is not charged as an add on.
Files uploaded as a JPEG or screenshot are reworked to comply with proper print specifications.
Most artwork arrives without the resolution or bleed that a box actually needs.
Our team verifies colour accuracy, image resolution and bleed against the press profile before any job goes into production, so the printed result corresponds to what you confirmed.
A design consultation is on offer should you wish to discuss the choices before proceeding to a brief.
You may also make use of our own online design tool if you want to design the artwork yourself.
Recyclable, fairly sourced materials
Every package we produce is 100% recyclable and crafted from board carrying FSC and PEFC certification. This shows it can be tracked through an verified supply chain back to a sustainably managed forest.
We’re transitioning away from single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range, replacing them with paper based and biodegradable 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 trustworthy sustainability claim is important to you and your customers, we can support steer you through the various ways your custom packaging can make a difference in reducing waste.
Why Coseley Businesses Opt for Custom Pack Studio for the Packaging Source
An individual Factory from Inception to End
Each box we create is trimmed, printed and finished entirely within our Irvine factory.
The same team carries out checks at each stage, instead of the work being passed from one to separate subcontractors.
A colour that looks correct on the screen does not always print identically in print, and the person verifying it is the one operating the press.
Defects are identified and put right before a box ever reaches dispatch, by the same team that spotted the issue first.
The board and ink supplies are also sourced from the very same suppliers again and again, so a colour that matched your first proof will continue to match your fifth reorder after two years.
Strengthened by over thirty years in print and packaging
Custom Pack Studio launched in 2025, although the factory behind it goes back much further back.
We are part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a leading print and packaging manufacturer that has been operating presses since 1997.
This track record has built lasting relationships with board mills and material suppliers. It also gives a team that has already worked through most of the issues a new packaging order can present.
That is seen in subtle details, such as knowing which board thickness can withstand a courier journey.
It additionally illustrates why we can manage a delicate perfume box and a heavy duty shipping carton during the same week, using presses that have managed both for years.
A single designated contact for the entirety of the entire order
From your first enquiry through to the completed delivery, you will be taken care of by the same person throughout.
There is transition between your sales team and a separate production department.
They know your specifications, your timeframe and what you asked for at the proofing stage, so you do not need to say it again at every stage.
Should a component is on back order or a finish needs reviewing, you will be contacted directly from the person overseeing your job.
This also means you never have to explain your order from scratch to a different person partway through production.
You can ring, contact by email or text that person directly, without having to go through a general enquiries inbox first.
This identical process, regardless of quantity
A one sample and a five thousand unit reorder go through the same proof and inspection checks before either leaves the factory.
Nothing is hurried because the run is short, and nothing receives extra scrutiny because it is big.
A Coseley firm trying out a new product is held to the same standard as one submitting a repeat order for a national retail listing. The approach remains the same, regardless of the order size.
That regularity matters far more than any small saving gained through a larger run, because a non-matching batch will take more to correct than it saved you in price per unit.
Whether it is fifty units for the market test or several thousand for a full retail launch, the proofing sign off follows the same process each time.
