How Come a UK Supplier Acts for Dudley
Tailored Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a producer that has been creating print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you enquire about the finish, a material or deadlines, you are dealing directly with someone who operates the press day in, day out. They do not need to forward the question on to an overseas factory and await a response.
UK to UK delivery is swift and reliable in a way an overseas order rarely is.
The majority of orders are made ready within 2 to 3 weeks after you sign off on the proof, and once sent, our courier network delivers to Dudley addresses within 1 to 2 working days.
Compare that with the typical 8 to 12 week baseline lead time for packaging brought in from the EU or the Far East, before you even factor in a delayed container or a customs hold-up.
If you have an urgent launch date or event deadline, please let us know at the inquiry stage.
We’ll be upfront about whether the timeline works, rather than offering a turnaround that fails to deliver.
Personalised packaging for Dudley companies
The formats we supply cover most products, and every one is made to your specified dimensions and printed with your logo.
Which configuration fits depends on how the product is sold and shipped, so the quickest way to get the right solution is by letting our packaging experts exactly what you are packing.
Retail and Product Packaging
A printed carton takes care of the marketing on the shelf when your team is not there to present the product.
Reverse tuck end boxes are well matched to low-weight retail goods such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, while a crash lock base provides heavier items a floor that does not fail in transit.
Each print designs across each panel, including the inside, so the branding stays on show no matter how the box ends up placed on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Mailer containers for internet vendors
Dudley’s online retail brands dispatch orders continually.
A custom mailer box is commonly the only tangible interaction a customer has with a brand, as there is no shop visit or face to face handover to rely on.
Printed inside and out, it shields the product within the courier network while making the unboxing itself a marketing moment. And a well-fitted box also reduces the damage and returns that a ill-fitting one can cause.
A simple brown outer will deliver the parcel there, but it reveals the customer very little about who posted it or why it seems the way it does.
Create a lasting statement from the instant it appears with Custom Pack Studio.
Gift and Exhibition Packages
Bespoke gift boxes are valuable.
A solid box with an easy closure, foil stamping on the lid, or a soft touch coating alters the way a product is perceived before it is even opened up.
It is specifically the situation for jewellery products, perfume, and boutique food brands, in which the packaging makes up part of what the customer has bought.
Hot foil stamping is the finish that works hardest on a shelf, catching the light in a way plain print never can, while soft touch coating works best once the box is in someone’s hands, as it conveys quality the moment they feel it.
The embossing effect sits between the two, creating an impression that you can both feel and see, and it works very well on jewellery and perfume boxes where the surface itself forms part of the presentation.
Sleeves and wallets
Not every brand project calls for a complete box rebuild.
A custom-printed sleeve slides over an existing tray or product, providing your branding without the need to rethink the entire pack, making it ideal for a short promotional run or a seasonal variant.
A wallet style box sits neatly around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, while printed inserts help stop loose items shifting inside a larger box during transit.
Corrugated cartons and delivery boxes
A collapsible carton will not survive a long delivery journey or a delicate item by itself.
Layered board is designed for that job.
We make corrugated cardboard boxes to bespoke pack requirements and print them in full colour, so a Dudley brand distributing across the country receives protection and branding in one format, well beyond a simple double-walled box with a sticker added on top.
Sectors We Address Within Dudley
Dudley’s business portfolio includes beauty and skincare brands, jewellery makers, food producers, corporate offices and e-commerce companies.
F&B businesses must meet the most stringent requirements, as safety in contact with the product is prioritised over any regard of how the box is presented.
It is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level really counts, if you are a small-scale bakery or a wholesale supplier. It’s the standard that supermarket buyers and independent retailers usually want to see before they will list a new product.
Jewelry names frequently gain a larger return through the packaging spend than the majority of sectors.
A sturdy box with a custom-fitted insert is usually carrying an item worth considerably more than the box itself, so the overall presentation has to live up to that importance.
Cosmetics and perfume brands rely on protective fitments and premium finishes for the same justification. The product is small, so the box does most of the selling on a shelf.
E-commerce and subscription businesses depend on a mailer that can withstand the courier network without damage.
For many online sellers, the parcel is the single physical point of connection a customer has with the company.
Zero minimum order, whatever quantity is welcomed
Ask most packaging suppliers for 50 boxes produced with your own design.
You may often be asked to come back once you are able to pledge to 500 or 1,000. That can be a significant request for a Dudley business trialling a new product or testing a small batch before it expands.
We don’t set any minima.
Request a single sample to assess print quality, fifty boxes for a market stall, or a few thousand once a retail listing confirms demand. The process and pricing model stay the same at every quantity.
The unit cost decreases as volume increases, which is typical throughout the industry.
Reorders retain the identical artwork and arrangement, so you are not charged twice for the design work.
We confirm pricing and lead time in writing before production starts, so there is no real difference between the quote and the invoice amount.
Visual design support ready whatever stage you’re at
You don’t need an in-house designer to order bespoke packaging here.
If you have your logo and an approximate idea of what you want, that is enough to get started. Our team will work out the box structure, produce the print ready artwork and present a proof for your approval before anything goes to press.
For a product that does not fit an off the shelf format, structural design is included in the cost. It is not charged as an additional charge.
Files provided as a JPEG file are reworked to comply with correct print specifications.
Most artwork arrives without the resolution or bleed that a box actually needs.
Our team verifies colour accuracy, resolution and bleed against the press profile before any files goes into production, so the print matches closely what you signed off.
A design consultation is on offer if you would rather to talk through the options before confirming a specification.
You can additionally use our own online design tool if you would wish to design the artwork yourself.
Ethically Sourced, Recyclable Materials
Every carton we produce is completely recyclable and made from paperboard that carries FSC and PEFC certification. This indicates it can be traced along an independently audited supply chain to a responsibly managed forest.
We’re transitioning away from single-use plastic and EPS foam throughout the collection, swapping them for paper based and biodegradable alternatives wherever the format allows. Those materials decompose as intended at the end of their life in a way that plastic and foam do not.
If a convincing sustainability claim matters to you and your clients, we can help guide you through the various ways your bespoke packaging helps make an impact by cutting waste.
Why Dudley Businesses Opt for CustomPack Studio as Their Trusted Packaging Supplier
One Production Site from Start to End
Every box we produce is shaped, marked and finalised all on site at our Irvine facility.
A same team oversees quality throughout every stage, rather than the work being passed from one subcontractor to another.
A shade that seems accurate on screen will not invariably print the same, and the person reviewing it is the one using the press.
Problems are identified and fixed before a box reaches dispatch, by the same team that noticed the problem in the first instance.
Board and ink are also sourced from the same suppliers again and again, so a colour that matched your first proof will continue to match your fifth reorder after two years.
Backed by close to thirty years in the print and packaging industry
Custom Pack Studio launched in 2025, yet the factory behind it reaches back far earlier.
We are part of the team at KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a trusted print and packaging manufacturer that has used presses since 1997.
That track record has built long-standing connections with board mills and material suppliers. It also gives a team that has already dealt with most of the challenges a new packaging order can present.
That is evident in the finer details, such as understanding which board weight will endure a courier journey.
It is as well why we can handle a delicate perfume box and a heavy duty shipping carton in the same week, using presses that have worked on both for a number of years.
One named contact throughout the full order
You will deal with the same person throughout your initial enquiry right through to the completed delivery.
There is not any handover between a sales department and a separate production department.
The team are clear on your specification, your timescale and what you asked for at the proofing stage, so you do not need to say it again at every point.
If a material is on back order or a finish needs a rethink, you will hear it straight from the person handling your job.
It also means you will not ever have to explain your order from the beginning to another team member partway through the work.
You can get in touch with that person personally by phone, email or message, without needing to go through a general query inbox first.
This very same process, whatever the amount
A single sample and a 5000 unit reorder undergo the same proofing and quality checks before both leaves the factory.
No job is hurried merely because the run is short, and no job receives additional inspection simply because it is large.
A Dudley business trialling a new product is treated to the same level as one submitting a repeat order for a national retail listing. The process stays the same, regardless of the order size.
This uniformity counts much more than any discount on a larger order, because a mismatched batch can cost much more to fix than it saved in unit price.
If it is around fifty units for a market test or several thousand for a retail rollout, the proofing sign-off functions the same way every time.
