Sustainable Packaging for Small Businesses
Packaging Supplier Ashton-under-Lyne

From a one-off sample to a complete range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one committed team handle everything in one place.

Your artwork remains safely with us, your colours remain true from the first order through the tenth, and we speak plainly whenever a deadline is especially tight.

One sole contact manages your query, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder after two years. The specification stays consistent because the same person oversees everything!

For a packaging supplier designed to grow alongside your business, call the welcoming team at Custom Pack Studio today.

How packaging transforms when it develops into a continuing supplier partnership

An early order usually focuses on the box in question: whether it fits properly, prints clearly and arrives on schedule.

A supplier relationship shows its worth on the sixth order, when an identical product requires matching colour and fit, without making you restate the specification from the beginning.

We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness stay uniform from your first order through every reorder.

The individual producing your quotation will also run your job on the press.

Should a repeat order require further explanation, they are the person to contact directly for a straightforward, genuine answer.

The Reason Ashton-under-Lyne businesses prefer Our packaging services

Absolutely no minimum quantity required on any item

We do not require minimum order quantities on any products we make, meaning a single sample and a five hundred unit reorder are handled through exactly the same process.

We have no requirement for a minimum order volume, and we never add an extra charge solely because your order is small.

As a result, our growth remains aligned with your Ashton-under-Lyne business.

When the time comes to expand your business or widen your product range, we will support you at each stage of the journey.

One named representative from enquiry to fulfilment

The same designated contact handles your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, already understanding your specification when you are ready to place another order.

You work with one dedicated team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a different person when you call.

Generations of internal fabrication

KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.

That history shows the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than sourced afresh for each job.

As we ready the ink and keep our own board stock, your colour match is not dependent on an outside printer’s interpretation of your brief.

The factory makes precisely what is approved on the proof.

Delivery tailored around your Ashton-under-Lyne enterprise

We ship nationwide to your organisation, whether you need a single sample or a full pallet.

Our delivery service collects every order from the same Irvine factory according to a single schedule, regardless of its dimensions or destination in Ashton-under-Lyne.

Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.

Tailor Made Layouts Created To Suit Your Offering

Some products do not fit within a regular box.

When yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimensions, we design the structure to work around it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated with the same care, being built into the structure instead of being added afterwards.

Our design department evaluates your real product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An early sample checks fit and function before any unit enters full production.

If the die cut needs adjustment, we adjust it and send another sample rather than producing a batch that is not suitable.

Luminae Packaging - Custom Pack Studio

Packing merchandise through Custom Pack Studio

All packaging in our range is made at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.

From tailored packaging designed for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is produced from one production line.

Packages and packaging cartons

Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes meet numerous retail and product packaging needs, with branding printed on every panel so it stays visible wherever the container rests on the shelf.

For gifts and jewellery, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts selling the product prior to being opened.

The standard of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.

Cardboard envelopes and shipping 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 bigger or more substantial items, we make corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in complete colour, while printed inserts provide cushioning for the items inside.

A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in a single order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.

Packing for your particular area

Our premium packaging is well suited to varied products across numerous industries.

Food wrapping products

We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, frequently being the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.

Packaging for food and beverages must meet the strictest standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety takes precedence over appearance.

High-end sector

When jewellery and cosmetics travel, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product securely, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect what lies within.

We help you create packaging that suits your items and gives your brand a luxurious feel.

Post parcels and e-commerce retailers

A damaged mailer can often prompt a return or refund request, making robust packaging essential for e commerce brands that need boxes to endure the courier network and arrive intact.

Moreover, custom-made packaging transforms opening the parcel into a memorable unboxing experience.

Turning an opening into customer loyalty and, from time to time, unpaid online advertising!

Maintaining every reorder in consistency

Your repeat order is given exactly the same treatment as your first order. That includes the same named contact, identical proofing process, and board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.

The price per unit reduces as the order size rises, with those cost reductions already factored in the price rather than depending on a discount code you need to remember to use.

This price structure is applicable whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.

Even when ordering again a matched item from another supplier, we perform the same proofing and quality checks required for a completely new design.

Nothing is approved entirely because it is created to look like something you already had.

Responsible sourcing from our top packaging establishment

Every box we make is completely recyclable, helping to reduce both plastic waste and waste sent to landfill.

We will not add laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, as we reduce single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.

If a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.

How swapping or starting functions

Contact us with a summary of what you need packed, your location in Ashton-under-Lyne, the quantity needed, and whether we should match an existing supplier.

If you are testing new products or would like to evaluate their quality before submitting a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.

Authorise the proof after our team has created the artwork, checked against any existing spec and verified pricing in writing.

Production and delivery normally take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Ashton-under-Lyne addresses are reached within one to two working days following dispatch.

Place another order when required through the same named contact, with the same specification already on file.
