Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team manage everything.
We keep your artwork on file, see that colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and advise you candidly when a deadline is particularly demanding.
From your first sample to a reorder two years later, one named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification is unchanged because the same person continues at the helm.

Which changes come about if wrapping evolves into an sustained provider relationship
A first order primarily tests the box itself: whether it fits, prints correctly and arrives as scheduled.
A supplier relationship earns trust by order six, when an identical product needs the same colour and fit, without needing the specification again.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our very own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain the same from your first order through all subsequent reorders.
The person preparing the quote for your job also runs it on the press.
When a reorder requires clarification, they are the person to contact directly for a definitive answer.
The reasons Ashington businesses select our packaging options
Zero minimum requirement on all product
We do not impose minimum order quantities on any products we make, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder are handled through exactly the same process.
We impose no minimum volume requirement, and a small order will not carry an additional charge.
This means our growth continues to align with your Ashington business.
When you are ready to grow your business or extend your product range, we will support you throughout every stage of your journey.
A single assigned contact right from enquiry to delivery
One dedicated contact remains with your account from your first enquiry to delivery, so your requirements is already known when you are prepared to reorder.
You are never transferred from one department to another, nor left repeating the details of your job every time you call.
Countless decades of on-site manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, the parent company of our business, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.
This history means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are long-established partners, formed over decades rather than found afresh for each 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 proof that you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.
Supply tailored around your Ashington business
We supply across the country, wherever your business is based, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same factory in Irvine following a set schedule, regardless of the size of the order or destination within Ashington.
Whether you need one box sent for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order grows.
Custom Layouts Created Focussed on Your Item
Some products do not fit within a standard box.
If yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimensions, we plan the structure to fit it precisely. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same careful treatment, built into the structure from the start rather than added later.
Our design team evaluates your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample checks fit and function before production in full starts.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we make the necessary changes and send a second sample instead of producing an unusable batch.
Packaging goods from Custom Pack Studio
Every piece of packaging in our collection is produced within our own factory, meaning that the finish approved on your sample is precisely the finish supplied with an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging created for a single product line to the accessories that accompany each order, everything is produced from one production line.
Containers and boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit different retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding remains visible wherever containers sit.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid helps sell the product before it is even opened!
Premium quality board material and an precise die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Cardboard mailers plus dispatch 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 larger or more substantial items, we make corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts offer cushioning for the contents.
A gusseted box increases in size to contain multiple items in one order, making it appropriate for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents change each month.
Wrapping answers for any business
Our premium packaging is designed to support a broad selection of products across many industries.
Grocery packing materials
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is usually the initial assurance food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Packaged products for food and drinks must meet the most demanding standards of every category we supply, because safety during product contact comes before appearance.
High-end market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess keeps the contents from moving in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the product within.
We help you in designing packaging that enhances your items, adding a premium feel for your brand.
Postal cartons for e-commerce businesses
A crushed mailer commonly prompts a request for a return or refund, so e-commerce brands require a box designed to withstand the courier network and reach its destination intact.
In addition, bespoke packaging turns opening your order into a memorable experience.
Converting an opening into loyal customers and, sometimes, free online advertising!
Keeping all rearrangement steadily
We handle every reorder in the same way as a first order, retaining the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as before.
Bigger orders bring down the unit cost, with the saving included in the stated price instead of requiring a discount code to be applied.
This pricing approach applies in the same way to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder provided by another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as a brand-new design.
No item is approved entirely because it is created to look like something you already had.
Sustainable procurement from our top packaging facility
Every box we make is fully recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box harder to recycle. We are also cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim needs to withstand a procurement audit, we are glad to discuss it face to face or by telephone.
