Exploring Why a United Kingdom Maker Is the Ideal Option for Farnham
Custom Pack Pack Studio sits within KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a business that has been creating print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you raise questions about a finish, a material, or a deadline, you are speaking to a person who uses the press every day. They do not need to forward the question to an overseas factory and await a reply.
Domestic delivery is quick and consistent in a way an overseas order rarely is.
The majority of requests are completed in two to three weeks after you approve the proof, and once dispatched, our courier network delivers to Farnham addresses within one to two working days.
Benchmark that with the typical 8 to 12 week initial lead time for packaging shipped in from the EU or the Far East, before you even factor in a delayed container or a customs hold-up.
If you have got an imminent launch date or event deadline, please tell us at the enquiry stage.
We will can confirm honestly honestly whether the schedule suits your plans, rather than promising a quick turnaround that disappoints you.
Tailored packaging for Farnham companies
The box styles we offer fit most products, and every one is created to your dimensions and supplied with your branding.
The configuration that is best suited depends on how the product is sold and delivered, so the fastest way to get to the correct answer is to let know our packaging experts what you are packing.
Commercial and item packaging
A branded carton takes care of the selling on shop shelves when no one from your team is there to explain the product.
Reverse tuck-end boxes are ideal to lighter-weight retail goods such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, whereas a crash-lock base provides heavier items with a stable floor that will not collapse during transit.
Each print across every panel, including even the inside, so the branding remains clearly visible whatever way the box is positioned on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Custom mailer boxes for e-commerce merchants
Farnham’s e commerce brands are dispatching constantly.
A tailored mailer box is often the sole physical touchpoint a customer has with the brand, as there is no shop visit or face-to-face handover to rely on.
Printed on both the inside and outside, it safeguards the product across the courier network while turning the unboxing itself a marketing moment. A properly fitted box also reduces the damage and returns that a ill-fitting one creates.
A unmarked plain brown outer will send the parcel there, but it tells the customer nothing about who sent it or why it seems the way it does.
Make a lasting impression from the instant it comes with Custom Pack Studio.
Gift and display boxes
Bespoke gift boxes are valuable.
A solid box with a seamless closure, foil stamping on the lid, or a tactile coating transforms how a product feels before it is even opened.
It is precisely the case for jewellery, perfume and boutique food brands, in which the packaging forms part of that which the customer has paid for.
Hot foil stamping is the treatment that makes the biggest impact on a shelf, catching the light in a way flat printing never can, while soft touch coating is more effective once the box is in a person’s hands, as it conveys premium quality the moment they pick up it.
Raised detailing bridges the two, forming a logo you can both see and feel, and it is particularly well effective on jewellery and perfume boxes, where the surface forms part of the presentation.
Sleeves and wallets
Not every branding project calls for a complete box rebuild.
A custom-printed sleeve fits over an existing tray or product, bringing your brand identity without the need to revamp the entire pack, which helps make it ideal for a limited promotional run or a seasonal variant.
A wallet-style box folds neatly around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, while printed inserts help prevent loose items sliding inside a larger box during transit.
Corrugated boxes as well as parcel cartons
A cardboard carton can’t survive a protracted courier journey or protect a delicate item by itself.
Corrugated board is intended for this purpose.
We make corrugated cardboard boxes to bespoke pack sizes and print them in full colour, so a Farnham brand shipping across the country gains cover and brand presence in one solution, well beyond a simple double walled box with a sticker applied on top.
Industries Catered to Through Farnham
Farnham’s business portfolio covers beauty and skincare brands, jewellery makers, food producers, corporate offices and e-commerce companies.
Catering and drink businesses encounter the toughest requirements, because safety in touching the product always comes first over the box’s look.
That is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level makes a difference, whether you are a artisan bakery or a wholesale provider. It is the standard that retail buyers and local retailers typically want to see before they will stock a new product.
Jewellery brands often gain greater value from their packaging investment than the majority of other product categories.
A rigid box with a fitted insert is often used to store an item worth much more than the box itself, and the presentation must match that value.
Beauty and perfume brands make use of protective fitments and premium finishes for much the same reason. The product itself is small, so the box does most of the convincing on a shelf.
Online retail and subscription businesses need a mailer that reaches the customer through the courier network intact.
For numerous online sellers, the parcel is the only physical interaction a customer has with the brand.
Absolutely no minimum order, whatever quantity accepted.
Request many packaging suppliers for fifty boxes with your custom design.
You may regularly be requested to return just once you are prepared to commit to 500 or 1,000. For a Farnham business trialling a new product or testing a small batch before scaling, that is a major commitment.
There is no set minimum requirement at all at all.
Request one sample to evaluate the print quality, 50 boxes for a market stall, or a few thousand once a retail listing shows demand. The process and pricing structure remain the same across every quantity.
The unit cost falls as order quantity grows, which is standard throughout the packaging industry.
Repeat orders employ the same artwork and setup, so you are never charged twice for the design work.
We verify the pricing and delivery times in writing before production starts, so that there is no any discrepancy between the quotation and the amount shown on the invoice.
Visual design support provided regardless of stage of progress
You don’t need an internal designer to order custom packaging from us.
If you already have a logo and a basic idea of what you want, that is all that is needed to get started. Our team will finalise the box structure, produce the print ready artwork and send you a proof to approve before anything goes to press.
When a product does not suit an pre-made format, structural design is factored into the quoted price. It is not added as an extra charge.
Documents provided as a JPEG or screenshot are converted to proper print specification.
Most designs is sent in without the image resolution or bleed that a box really requires
Our group reviews colour accuracy, resolution and bleed against the press profile before anything goes into production, so the printed result matches what you confirmed.
A design consultation is on hand if you would rather to discuss the options before confirming a specification.
You can equally use our own online design tool if you would like to create the artwork yourself.
Eco-friendly, ethically sourced components
Every box we make is completely recyclable and manufactured from board carrying FSC and PEFC certification. This means it can be traced through an verified supply chain to a responsibly managed forest.
We are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range, substituting them with paper-based and biodegradable options wherever the format allows. These materials break down properly at the end of their life in a way plastic and foam do not.
If a believable sustainability claim is important to you and your customers, we can assist lead you through the different ways your bespoke packaging contributes to lowering waste.
Reasons Farnham enterprises select Custom Pack Studio as reliable packaging vendor
An individual Plant from Launch to Finish
Every carton we create is shaped, printed and prepared under one roof at our Irvine factory.
The same team oversees quality throughout every stage, instead of the work being handed from one subcontractor to another.
A colour that looks correct on the screen does not always come out in the same way in print, and the person reviewing it is the one operating the press.
Problems are detected and resolved before a box reaches dispatch, by the very same team that noticed the issue at the outset.
The board and ink are supplied from the same suppliers every time, so a colour that matched your first proof will also match your fifth reorder after two years.
Backed by just under 30 years in the field of print and packaging
Custom Pack Studio started in 2025, but the plant that supports it goes back much further.
We are a division of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a major print and packaging manufacturer that has run presses since 1997.
That history has given us long-standing relationships with board mills and material suppliers. It also means a team that has already navigated most of the issues a new packaging order can bring.
That commonly shows itself in minor details, such as being aware of which board weight can endure a courier journey.
It is equally the reason we can deal with a sensitive perfume box and a sturdy shipping carton in the same week, with presses that have been handling both for years.
One assigned contact for the duration of the entire order
You will be cared for by the identical person from your original query right through to the finished handover.
There remains no handover between the sales team and the production department.
They know your requirements, your timeframe and what you asked for at the proof stage, so you needn’t repeat yourself at every stage.
When a material is on backorder or a finish needs reassessment, you will hear about it directly from the member of staff managing your project.
It also means you are never having to explain your order right from the start to a different person partway through the process.
You can contact that person directly via phone, e-mail or text, without the need to use a general enquiries inbox first.
The identical approach, whatever what the sum
A one sample and a five thousand unit reorder undergo the same proofing process and quality inspections before either leaves the factory.
Nothing is hurried because the run is limited, and nothing receives more inspection because it is substantial.
A Farnham business testing a new product is held to the same standard as one making a repeat order for a national retail listing. The procedure remains the same, regardless of the order size.
That consistency is important considerably more than any cost saving secured through a bigger batch, because a non-matching lot will take more to correct than it saved you in price per unit.
Whether it is 50 units for market testing or many thousands for a retail rollout, the proofing sign off functions in the same manner each time.
