Exploring Why a U.K. Producer Is the Right Pick for Hammersmith and Fulham
Custom Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a manufacturer that has been manufacturing print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you raise questions about a finish, a material, or a deadline, you are speaking to an expert who operates the press daily. They don’t need to forward the question to an overseas factory and wait for a reply.
UK to UK delivery is swift and trustworthy in a way orders from overseas rarely is.
Most orders are prepared within two to three weeks after you sign off on the proof, and when sent, our courier network ships to Hammersmith and Fulham addresses within 1 to 2 working days.
Weigh up that with the typical eight-to-twelve-week baseline lead time for packaging shipped from the EU or the Far East, before you even take into account a late container or a customs hold up.
If you have an significant launch date or event due date, inform us at the initial enquiry stage.
We shall verify frankly whether the schedule fits, rather than offering a turnaround that leaves you disappointed.
Tailored packaging for Hammersmith and Fulham firms
The box options we provide cover most of the products, and every one is crafted to your dimensions and finished with your brand.
The right arrangement depends on how the product is marketed and delivered, so the most efficient way to get the right answer is to let know to our packaging experts what you are packing up.
Store and Merchandise Wrapping
A custom printed carton handles the selling on the shelf when no one from your team is there to explain the product.
Reverse tuck end boxes are generally a good fit for lighter retail goods such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, while a crash lock base design offers heavier goods with a floor that will not give way during transit.
Both of the prints extend across every panel, inside and out, including the inside, so the branding is visible regardless of how the box is placed on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Shipping Boxes for Internet Merchants
Hammersmith and Fulham’s e commerce brands are shipping without interruption.
A bespoke mailer box is frequently the sole physical touchpoint a customer has with the brand, as there is no store visit or face-to-face handover to rely on.
Printed on the inside and outside, it guards the product across the courier network while making the unboxing itself feel like a moment of marketing. And a properly fitted box also lowers the damage and returns that a poorly sized one can cause.
A unmarked brown outer will bring the parcel, but it shows nothing to the customer about who sent it or why it seems the way it does.
Create a lasting first impression the moment your order is delivered with Custom Pack Studio.
Gift and Exhibit Boxes
Custom gift boxes are essential.
A solid box with a clean closure, foil stamping on the lid, or a soft touch coating transforms how a product comes across before it is even opened.
It is specifically the case for jewellery products, perfume, and boutique food brands, in which the packaging forms part of what the customer has paid for.
Foil stamping is the finish that does the most on a shelf, drawing the light in a way flat printing never can, while soft-touch coating works more successfully once the box is actually in someone’s hands, as it feels high-end the moment they handle it.
Embossing bridges both elements, creating a logo you can 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 requires a complete box rebuild.
A printed sleeve slips over an existing tray or product, providing your branding without the need to rework the entire pack, making it ideal for a brief promotional run or a seasonal variant.
A wallet style box folds tidily around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, while internal inserts stop loose items from sliding inside a larger box during transit.
Corrugated packaging plus dispatch cartons
A foldable carton is unable to stand up to a extended courier delivery or shield a breakable item by itself.
Corrugated board is made for that purpose.
We produce corrugated cardboard boxes to specific pack sizes and brand them in full colour, so a Hammersmith and Fulham brand shipping throughout the UK gets security and brand identity in one format, much more than a plain double walled box with a sticker applied on the top.
Domains Our Company Work With Across Hammersmith and Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham’s business mix includes beauty and skincare labels, jewellery makers, food producers, corporate offices and online retailers.
Food businesses face the toughest requirements, because safety always takes priority over the appearance of the box.
This is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level makes a real difference, if you are a small-scale bakery or a wholesale supplier. It is the level that supermarket buyers and independent retailers often want to see before they will list a new product.
Jewelry brands frequently gain greater value from their packaging investment than the majority of other industries.
A solid box with a custom-made insert is frequently used to house an item worth considerably more than the box itself, so the presentation needs to match that worth.
Cosmetics 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 selling on a shelf.
Subscription businesses need to have a mailer that gets through the courier network intact.
For a lot of online sellers, the parcel is the sole physical touchpoint a customer has with the brand.
There’s no minimum order, whatever quantity you want.
Request many packaging suppliers for 50 boxes branded with your own design on them.
You may frequently be requested to return just once you are prepared to commit to to 500 or 1,000. For a Hammersmith and Fulham business evaluating a new product or trialling a small batch before expanding, that is a significant commitment.
We don’t impose any minimum requirement.
Order a single sample to assess print quality, 50 boxes for a market stall, or a few thousand once a retail listing confirms demand. The process and pricing structure are the same at every quantity.
Unit price falls as the quantity rises, which is standard throughout the packaging industry.
Repeat orders retain the same artwork and setup, so you’re never charged twice for the design work.
We set out the price and timescale in writing before production commences, so there is no discrepancy between the quote and the invoice.
Creative assistance ready at any stage you are presently.
You do not need a designer in-house to arrange custom packaging here.
If you possess a logo and a general idea of your requirements, that will be 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 suit an off-the-shelf format, the structural design is built in in the price. It is not billed as an extra.
Documents supplied as a JPG or screenshot are converted to suitable print specification.
Most artwork arrives lacking the resolution or bleed that a box truly requires.
Our team checks colour accuracy, definition and bleed against the press profile before anything else goes into production, so the final print corresponds to what you approved.
A style meeting is available if you would like to go over the options before committing to a plan.
You can also use our own online design tool if you want to design the artwork yourself.
Reclaimed, responsibly sourced materials
Every container we create is completely capable of being recycled and crafted from material bearing FSC and PEFC accreditation. So it can be followed through an audited supply chain directly back to a carefully managed forest.
We are moving on from single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range, swapping them with paper made and biodegradable alternatives wherever the format permits. These materials decompose properly at the end of their life in a way plastic and foam do not.
If a believable sustainability claim counts to you and your customers, we can assist guide you through the many ways your bespoke packaging contributes to lowering waste.
How come Hammersmith and Fulham firms select Custom Pack Studio as a trusted packaging partner
A single plant, from inception to finish
Every box we create is cut, decorated and completed entirely within our Irvine factory.
A same group oversees quality at every stage, rather than the work moving between different subcontractors.
A tone that looks correct on screen does not necessarily reproduce in the same way, and the individual responsible for checking it is the one running the press.
Faults are spotted and resolved before a box reaches despatch, by the same team that identified the issue in the first place.
Board and ink are additionally sourced from the same suppliers, again and again, so a colour that matched up with 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 far longer history.
We are part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established print and packaging manufacturer that has run presses since 1997.
This history has built strong relationships with board mills and materials suppliers. It also means our team has already dealt with the majority of the challenges a new packaging order can bring.
That is evident in minute details, such as knowing which board weight will survive a courier journey.
It is also the reason we can manage a delicate perfume carton and a heavy duty shipping carton in the same week, with presses that have been working on both for a number of years.
Named point of contact during the purchase
You will deal with the very same person from your initial enquiry right through to the final delivery.
There is passage between the sales team and a separate production department.
They know your requirements, your deadline and what you requested at the proofing stage, so you needn’t repeat yourself at every step.
When a material is on back order or a finish needs re-assessing, you will be told it directly from the person handling your job.
It also means you are not needing to go over your request right from the start to a new person halfway through production.
You can contact that person directly by telephone, e-mail or text, without needing to go through a general query inbox first.
The precise procedure, regardless of the quantity.
A one sample and a 5,000 unit reorder receive the same proof and quality checks before either leaves the factory.
No project is hurried simply because the run is short, and no project is reviewed more carefully merely because it is large.
A Hammersmith and Fulham firm trying out a new product is treated 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 regularity counts considerably more than any small saving gained through a bigger batch, because a mismatched lot will cost more to correct than it would save in price per unit.
Whether it is 50 units for a market test or several thousand for a store rollout, the proofing sign-off functions in precisely the same way each time.
