From a single sample to a complete packaging range for a continuing account, one factory and team manage every requirement.
We keep your artwork, reproduce your colours as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and speak honestly to you when a deadline is demanding.
A dedicated contact oversees your request, production and delivery, from the first sample to a repeat order two years later. Because they remain involved throughout, the specification stays consistent.

Which changes when wrapping becomes an ongoing supplier alliance?
A first order primarily tests the box itself: whether it is the right fit, prints correctly and arrives on time.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the start.
Because we oversee board stock and ink mixing inside our own factory, your colour and wall thickness remain consistent from the first order through every reorder that follows.
The individual pricing your job also runs it on the press.
Questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a clear, honest answer.
Why Arnold businesses go for our company’s packaging services
Absolutely no minimum purchase on all item
We do not impose minimum quantities per order on any products we make, meaning one sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through precisely the same process.
We do not require a minimum volume before taking on your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is small.
This ensures our growth stays aligned with your Arnold business.
When the time comes to expand your business or broaden your product range, our support will remain with you at every stage of the journey.
A dedicated dedicated contact, from initial enquiry to completion
Your dedicated contact supports your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, so they are familiar with your spec when you are ready to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or asked to go over the job again to someone new each time you call.
Decades of internal manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, the parent company of our business, has been operating presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are reliable partners developed over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
As we prepare ink and hold board stock in house, colour matching does not rely on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The factory manufactures exactly what is approved on the proof.
Shipment bespoke to your Arnold business
We send nationwide to your company, whether you need a single sample or a complete pallet.
In Arnold, our delivery service adheres to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, whatever the order size or destination.
Whether you want a one box sent for approval or a number of pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process covers both, ensuring delivery continues in the same way as the order expands.
Personalised creations developed around your offering
A few products do not sit within a conventional box.
If yours has an atypical shape or difficult dimensions, we design the structure to fit it perfectly. Components that require separation during transit receive the same careful treatment, integrated into the structure from the start rather than added later.
Our team of designers assesses your actual product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An initial sample checks fit and function before production in full starts.
If the die cut requires refinement, we update it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that fails.
Packaging goods from Custom Packaging Studio
All packaging in our range is made at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample matches the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is produced on a single production line.
Containers and parcels
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for varied retail and product packaging, with printing applied to every panel to help ensure the branding visible regardless of how the container is oriented on a shelf.
For jewellery and gift-giving, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid handles much of the selling before it is even opened.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard envelopes and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s measurements, reducing surplus void fill and reducing the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause in transit.
For bulkier or bigger items, we make full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.
Packing customised to your own business area
Our premium packaging is well suited to diverse products across numerous industries.
Meal packing materials
Our BRC Global Packaging certification covers the High Hygiene level. It is typically the initial assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Of every category we provide, food and drink packaging is governed by the most rigorous requirements, as maintaining safe contact with the product takes priority over the box’s appearance.
High-end sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a custom-made insert or foam recess keeps items from moving during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.
We help design packaging that complements your items and adds your brand a luxurious feel.
Post box alongside ecommerce labels
A crushed mailer often results in a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box made to get through the courier network intact.
Tailored packaging also provides a lasting unboxing experience.
Transforming an opening into loyal customers and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Sustaining each reorder constantly
When a reorder comes in, we handle it as a first order, keeping the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
As your order gets larger, the unit cost drops, with savings built into the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
This pricing structure applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder procured from another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as a new design.
Nothing is accepted solely because it is intended to resemble something you already had.
Sustainable procurement from our leading packaging site
Each box we make is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely to create a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, and we are phasing out single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should your sustainability claim need to withstand a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you in person or by phone.
How swapping or starting functions
Contact us with a summary of what you need packed, your location in Arnold, the quantity needed, and whether we should match an existing supplier.
Ask for a sample through our free samples service when trialling new products or reviewing quality before proceeding with a full order.
Authorise the proof after our team produces the artwork, matches any existing spec and verifies pricing in writing.
Production and delivery generally require two to three weeks, while most UK and Arnold addresses receive deliveries within one to two working days after dispatch.
When necessary, place another order through the same named contact, using the specification already held on file.
