How a United Kingdom Manufacturer Company Provides services for Falmouth
Custom Pack Studio is part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a company that has been creating print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you enquire about a finish, a material, or a deadline, you are speaking to an expert who uses the press every day. They don’t need to forward the question to an overseas factory and await a reply.
Domestic delivery is usually speedier and more reliable than an overseas order.
Most orders are ready within 2 to 3 weeks after you sign off on the proof, and once dispatched, our courier network delivers to Falmouth addresses within one to two working days.
Measure this against this with the standard 8 to 12 week baseline lead time for packaging shipped in from the EU or the Far East, before you you even factor in a delayed container or a customs hold-up.
If you have an important event deadline or deadline, do let us know at the initial enquiry stage.
We will confirm honestly openly if the timeframe works, instead of promising a turnaround that falls short.
Personalised packaging for Falmouth companies
The box designs we offer suit the majority of products, and each one is manufactured to your dimensions and produced with your branding.
The right specification depends on how the product is sold and shipped, so the quickest way to get the correct answer is to let know to our packaging experts what you are packing.
Sales and item packaging
A printed carton takes care of the selling on the shelf when no one from your staff is there to talk through the product.
Reverse tuck-end boxes are ideal to lighter retail goods such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, whereas a crash-lock base gives heavier items with a stable floor that will not give way during transit.
Both is printed across every panel, including the inside, so the branding remains visible regardless of how the box is positioned on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Packaging boxes for online shops
Falmouth’s e-commerce brands are dispatching orders constantly.
A bespoke mailer box is frequently the single tangible interaction a customer has with a brand, as there is not any shop visit or face to face handover to rely on.
Printed inside and out, it helps protect the product across the courier network whilst turning the unboxing itself a marketing opportunity. A well-fitted box also reduces the damage and returns that a ill-fitting one can lead to.
A simple brown outer will deliver the parcel, but it reveals nothing to the customer about who sent it or why it looks the way it does.
Create a lasting impact from the time it lands with Custom Pack Studio.
Gift and Exhibition Packages
Custom gift boxes make a real difference.
A rigid box with a seamless closure, foil embossing on the top, or a soft-touch coating changes how a product comes across before it is even opened.
It is specifically the case for jewellery, perfume and boutique food brands, where the packaging constitutes part of what the customer has bought.
Hot foiling is the finish that makes the biggest impact on a shelf, reflecting the light in a way plain print never can, while soft touch finish performs particularly well once the box is in someone’s hands, as it suggests quality the second they feel it.
Embossing sits between the two, positioning a logo you can simultaneously see and touch, and it works especially well on jewellery and perfume boxes, where the surface itself becomes part of the display.
Sleeves and wallets
Not every branding project calls for a total box rebuild.
A printed sleeve slides over an in-place tray or product, bringing your branding without the need to change the full pack, which is well suited for a limited promotional run or a time-limited variant.
A wallet-style box neatly folds around flat products such as cards or cosmetics sets, while labelled inserts help stop loose items shifting inside a larger box during transit.
Sturdy Containers and Shipping Cartons
A cardboard carton cannot survive a long courier journey or safeguard a breakable item by itself.
Corrugated board is made for this purpose.
We create corrugated cardboard boxes to custom pack sizes and brand them in full-colour print, so a Falmouth brand shipping nationwide gets security and presentation in one solution, far beyond a simple double walled box with a sticker applied on top.
Fields We Address Within Falmouth
Falmouth’s business mix covers beauty and skincare brands, jewellery makers, food producers, corporate offices and e-commerce companies.
Edible and drink businesses face the toughest requirements, as safety in contact with the product is prioritised over any thought of how the container appears.
This is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level counts, whether you are a artisan bakery or a wholesale provider. It is the standard that retail buyers and independent retailers usually want to see before they will take on a new product.
Jewellery brands often see more value from their packaging investment than the majority of other categories.
A solid box with a fitted insert is usually carrying an item worth much more than the box itself, so the presentation has to reflect that importance.
Cosmetics and perfume brands rely on protective fitments and premium finishes for the same purpose. The product is small, so the box carries out most of the selling on a shelf.
E-commerce and subscription businesses need a mailer that can withstand the courier network in one piece.
For many online sellers, the parcel is the sole physical point of connection a customer has with the brand.
There’s no minimum order, whichever quantity you require.
Request many packaging suppliers for 50 boxes printed with your custom design on them.
You will often be asked to return when you can commit to 1,000. That is a substantial demand for a Falmouth business trialling a new product or ordering a small batch before it expands.
We do not apply any minimum criteria under any circumstances.
Request a single sample to assess print quality, fifty boxes for a market stall, or a few thousand once a retail listing shows demand. The process and pricing structure remain unchanged at every volume.
Unit price reduces as quantity grows, which is typical throughout the sector.
Repeat orders share the same artwork and setup, so you’re not charged twice for the design work.
We confirm pricing and timescale in writing before production starts, so there is no real difference between the estimate and the invoice amount.
Support with design support provided, regardless of stage you are at
You don’t need an internal designer to order bespoke packaging here.
If you have a logo and a basic idea of what you need, that is sufficient to get started. Our team will work out the box structure, prepare the print ready artwork and send you a proof to approve before anything goes to press.
For a product that doesn’t fit an off-the-shelf format, the structural design is already included in the price. It is not added as an extra.
Images supplied as a screenshot are prepared to the correct print specification.
Most artwork arrives without the image resolution or bleed that the box truly needs.
Our staff reviews colour accuracy, resolution and bleed against the press profile before anything goes to production, so what prints corresponds to what you approved.
A design appointment is on hand if you would rather to talk through the options before committing to a specification.
You can also use our online design tool if you would wish to create the artwork yourself.
Responsibly sourced, reusable materials
Every box we make is entirely recyclable and made from board certified by FSC and PEFC. This indicates it can be traced through an audited supply chain back to a responsibly managed forest.
We are moving on from single-use plastic and EPS foam across the range, swapping them for paper based and biodegradable alternatives where the format permits. Such materials decompose properly at the end of their life in a way plastic or foam do not.
If a credible eco-friendly claim matters to you and your customers, we can help guide you through the different ways your custom packaging makes an effect by reducing waste.
This is Why Falmouth Brands Opt for Custom Pack Studio to serve as their Packaging Provider
One Factory from Beginning to End
Every box we create is cut, printed and finished entirely within our Irvine factory.
The very same team performs quality checks throughout each stage, rather than the work being passed between different subcontractors.
A colour that appears accurate on screen will not invariably print in exactly the same way, and the person reviewing it is the one running the press.
Issues are noticed and sorted out before a box reaches dispatch, by the very same team that noticed the issue at the outset.
Board and ink are additionally sourced from the same suppliers, time after time, so a colour that matched against your first proof will also match your fifth reorder two years later.
Backed by just under thirty years in printing and packaging
Custom Pack Studio launched in 2025, although the factory behind it has a much longer history.
We are a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established print and packaging manufacturer operating presses since 1997.
That history gives us strong relationships with board mills and material suppliers. It also means a team that has already tackled the majority of the issues a new packaging order can raise.
That frequently shows itself in small details, such as being aware of which board weight can endure a courier journey.
It is also why we can handle a delicate perfume box and a heavy duty shipping carton in one week, with presses that have processed both for years.
Your dedicated contact for the entire order
You will be assisted by the identical person from your first enquiry right through to the final handover
There is transfer between your sales team and a separate production department.
They are clear on your specification, your deadline, and what you requested at the proofing stage, so there is no requirement to say it again at every step.
If a material is on back order or a finish needs reconsidering, you will be contacted directly from the person managing your job.
It too means you do not need to recount your request from the beginning to a different person midway through production.
You can ring, message or contact that person straight away, without having to go through a general enquiries inbox first.
A very same process, whatever the amount
A one specimen and a five thousand unit reorder are subjected to the same proofing and quality checks before both leaves the factory.
Nothing is hastened because the run is short, and nothing receives more scrutiny because it is large.
A Falmouth business testing a new product gets the same degree of service as one making a repeat order for a national retail listing. The process is kept unchanged, regardless of the volume of the order.
That regularity counts far more than the discount on a larger order, because a mismatched batch ends up costing much more to correct than it would have saved in unit price.
Whether it is fifty for market testing or several thousand for a shop rollout, the proofing sign off operates in the same manner each time.
