Reasons Why a UK Manufacturer Works for Tower Hamlets
Custom Pack Studio sits within KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a company that has been producing print and packaging in Scotland since 1997.
When you ask regarding a finish, a substance or a deadline, you are speaking to someone who deals with the press on a daily basis. They do not need to send the question on to a factory overseas and wait for a response.
UK to UK delivery is quick and reliable in a way that overseas orders seldom are.
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 Tower Hamlets addresses within one to two working days.
Compare this with the usual 8 to 12 week baseline lead time for packaging shipped in from the EU or the Far East, before you even allow for a delayed container or a customs hold-up.
For a major launch date or event deadline, let us know at the enquiry stage.
We can confirm frankly whether the timeline is workable rather than making a turnaround that disappoints you.
Tailored packaging for Tower Hamlets organisations
The packaging formats we supply are suitable for most products, and each one is manufactured to your sizes and finished with your brand details.
The appropriate format depends on the way in which 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.
Commercial and Goods Packaging
A custom-printed carton handles the selling on display shelves when no one from your crew is there to talk through the product.
Reverse tuck end boxes are appropriate for light retail goods such as cosmetics, supplements and beauty products, while a crash lock base provides more substantial items with a floor that will not fail in transit.
Both print across every panel, including even the inside, so the branding remains seen whatever way the box is placed on a shelf or in a stockroom.
Custom mailer boxes for web-based vendors
Tower Hamlets’s e-commerce brands are shipping orders continually.
A tailored mailer box is frequently 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 throughout, it shields the product throughout the courier network while turning the unboxing itself part of the marketing. A correctly sized box also reduces the damage and returns that a poorly sized one can cause.
A plain tan outer will have the parcel dispatched, but it gives the customer no clue about who sent it or why it appears like that.
Make a strong impact from the moment it comes through with Custom Pack Studio.
Present and Presentation Containers
Bespoke gift boxes are important.
A sturdy box with a clean closure, foil stamping on the lid, or a velvety coating transforms how a product comes across before it is even opened.
It is precisely the case for jewellery, perfume and boutique food brands, where the packaging makes up part of what the customer has paid for.
Foil stamping is the effect that creates the strongest impact on a shelf, reflecting the light in a way standard print never can, while soft touch coating performs best once the box is in someone’s hands, as it conveys quality the second they feel it.
Raised detailing lies in between, creating a logo that can be visible and tactile, and it is particularly effective on jewellery and perfume boxes, where the surface itself enhances 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 and brings your branding without the need to rework the entire pack, making it ideal for a short promotional run or a time-limited variant.
A wallet style box wraps neatly around flatter products such as cards or cosmetics sets, while insert cards help prevent loose items from sliding inside a larger box during transit.
Ribbed packaging plus shipping cases
A folding carton can’t stand up to a lengthy courier delivery or protect a breakable item by itself.
Grooved board is created exactly for that purpose.
We create corrugated cardboard boxes to bespoke pack sizes and print them in colour, so a Tower Hamlets brand shipping nationwide gets protection and brand identity built into a single solution, far beyond a plain double walled box with a sticker affixed on top.
Industries We Support Across Tower Hamlets
Tower Hamlets’s client mix includes beauty and skincare brands, jewellery businesses, food producers, office spaces and e commerce companies.
Food and drink businesses have the tightest requirements, as contact safety in contact with the product takes priority over any regard of how the box seems.
That is where our BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level makes a difference, whether you are a artisan bakery or a wholesale supplier. It is the standard that supermarket purchasing teams and local retailers often want to see before they will take on a new product.
Jewellery brands often get more from their packaging investment than the majority of different categories.
A solid box with a tailored insert is commonly used to store an item worth much more than the box itself, and the presentation must convey that importance.
Cosmetics and fragrance brands depend on protective fittings and upmarket finishes for much the same reason. The product is small, so the box does most of the persuading on the shelf.
E-commerce businesses need to have a mailer that gets through the courier network intact.
For many online retailers, the parcel is the sole actual interaction a client at any point has with the brand.
No Minimum Order!Any and all Quantity Invited
Ask most packaging suppliers for 50 boxes printed with your custom design on them.
You may sometimes be asked to come back once you are able to pledge to 500 or 1,000. This is a substantial request for a Tower Hamlets business testing a new product or trying a small batch before it expands.
We do not set any minimum requirement.
Request a one sample to check print quality, fifty boxes for a market stall, or several thousand once a retail listing verifies demand. The procedure and pricing structure remain unchanged at every volume.
The unit price decreases as the quantity increases, which is typical throughout the packaging industry.
Subsequent orders use the same artwork and setup, so you are never billed again for the design fee.
We confirm the pricing and lead times in writing before production begins, ensuring there is no possible discrepancy between the quotation and the amount shown on the invoice.
Graphic design help on offer no matter what stage you are in.
You needn’t have an in house designer to purchase custom packaging here.
If you have a logo and a rough idea of your requirements, that will be sufficient to get started. Our team will work out the box structure, produce the print-ready artwork and provide a proof for your approval before anything goes to press.
For a product that does not fit an off the shelf format, design work is included in the price. It is not charged as an additional extra.
Files provided as a JPEG or screenshot are rebuilt to suitable print specification.
The majority of artwork arrives lacking the image resolution or bleed that a box truly needs.
Our specialists checks colour accuracy, resolution and bleed against the press profile before anything goes to production, so what prints reflects your approved artwork.
A planning consultation is on offer if you would rather to discuss the options before committing to a specification.
You can use our built-in online designer if you would like to make the artwork independently.
Recycled, ethically procured materials
Every box we create is fully recyclable and made from board bearing FSC and PEFC certification. So it can be tracked through an reviewed supply chain all the way back to a carefully managed forest.
We are phasing out single use plastic and EPS foam across the range, replacing them with paper based and biodegradable alternatives where the format permits. These materials break down properly at the end of their life in a way plastic and foam do not.
If a trustworthy eco-friendly claim is important to you and your audience, we can assist guide you through the different ways your bespoke packaging can help in cutting waste.
Why Do Tower Hamlets Businesses Pick Custom Pack Studio to serve as Their Packaging Source
Single Factory, From Inception to Finish
Every box we create is trimmed, printed and completed all in one place at our Irvine factory.
The identical team supervises the quality at each stage, rather than the work being handed between subcontractors.
A colour tone that looks right on screen does not always print the same, and the person checking it is the one running the press.
Faults are noticed and sorted out before a box reaches dispatch, by that same team that noticed the issue at the outset.
Board and ink are likewise sourced from the identical suppliers time after time, so a colour that matched in your initial proof still matches your fifth reorder two years later.
Strengthened by nearly three decades in publishing and packaging
Custom Pack Studio was launched in 2025, yet the factory that supports it has a much longer history.
We are part of KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-regarded print and packaging manufacturer operating presses since 1997.
That history gives us established relationships with board mills and material suppliers. It also means a team that has already dealt with most of the issues a new packaging order can bring.
That is reflected in fine details, such as being aware of which board weight can withstand a courier journey.
It additionally illustrates why we can deal with a delicate perfume box and a heavy duty shipping carton during the same week, using presses that have processed both for years.
Your personal contact throughout the complete order
You will be assisted by the same person from your first enquiry right through to the final handover
There isn’t handover between a sales team and a separate production department.
They already know your specification, your deadline and the details you requested at the proofing stage, so there is no requirement to repeat yourself at each stage.
If a component is on back order or a finish needs reconsidering, you will receive a direct update from the person handling your job.
This also means you never have to re-explain your order from the beginning to another member of staff midway through production.
You can contact that person straight away by phone, e-mail or text, without needing to use a general enquiries inbox first.
An precise method, regardless of the number.
A one sample and a five thousand unit reorder are subject to the identical proofing and quality checks before either departs from the factory.
No project is hastened simply because the run is small, and no project is reviewed in greater detail merely because it is extensive.
A Tower Hamlets business testing a new product receives the same standard of service as one submitting a repeat order for a national retail listing. The process remains unchanged, irrespective of the size of the order.
That uniformity counts considerably more than any saving made from a greater batch, as a mismatched batch costs extra to fix than it saved in unit price.
Whether it is 50 units for the market test or thousands for a retail rollout, the proofing sign off works the same way every time.
