What shifts happen when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Barking
A first order mainly assesses the box itself: whether it fits, prints accurately and arrives as scheduled.
A business relationship shows its value on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to repeat the specification all over again.
We handle board stock and ink mixing at our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your initial order through every subsequent reorder.
The individual preparing the quote for your job also runs it on the press.
Whenever a reorder requires clarification, they are the person you speak to directly, prepared with a straightforward answer.
Why Barking-owned enterprises select our packaging services
Zero minimum purchase on all products.
We do not impose a minimum order for any item we produce, meaning one sample and a five-hundred-unit reorder follow the identical process.
Whether the order is modest or substantial, we are happy to accept it, with no minimum order quantity required and no additional charge simply because it is limited.
This means we develop in step with your Barking company.
When the time arrives to expand your business or product line, we will assist you at each stage.
Single exclusive contact, right from enquiry until delivery
One consistent contact remains with your account from initial enquiry to delivery, so your requirements is already understood when you are ready to place another order.
You are never transferred between departments or asked to go over the job again to someone new each time you call.
Generations of internal manufacturing
Our main company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
That tradition means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order represent relationships developed over decades, rather than sources newly found for each distinct commission.
We blend our own ink and keep board stock ourselves, so colour matching is never reliant on a third-party printer interpreting your brief.
The proof you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.
Shipment bespoke to your Barking organisation
We deliver nationwide to your company, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service gathers each order from the same Irvine factory according to a single schedule, regardless of its dimensions or destination in Barking.
Whether you are seeking a single box delivered for sign-off or multiple pallets arranged for a launch date, one reliable logistics process coordinates both, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as your order expands.
Custom designs developed to complement your item
Some products cannot be accommodated inside a standard box.
Where yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimensions, we engineer the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same thoughtful approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than added afterwards.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production starts, a initial sample checks its fit and function.
If the die cut needs adjusting, we update it and provide a second sample instead of producing a batch that fails.
Packaging products from Custom Pack Atelier
Each item in our packaging range is produced at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is the exact finish you receive when ordering five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order, everything is manufactured on one production line.
Crates and crates
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit countless retail and product packaging needs, with branding displayed on every panel so it stays visible wherever the container sits on the shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid performs much of the selling before it has even been opened.
The quality of the board material and the precision of the die cut are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard envelopes and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are customised to your product’s dimensions, cutting down on void fill and avoiding the damage an poorly fitting box can cause in transit.
For more sizeable products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts support items placed inside.
A gusseted box folds out to hold multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle whose contents vary each month.
Parceling personalised to any sector
Our premium packaging is thoughtfully designed to protect products across a wide range of industries.
Catering packaging materials
We have High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, frequently the first point food packaging customers ask about, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Among all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the most attention, because safety where packaging meets the product must always precede the box’s appearance.
Elite division
When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product safely, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect what lies within.
We create packaging designs that suit your products, providing your brand a distinctly luxurious feel.
Mail lockers & internet retail companies
A damaged mailer often prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box built to get through the courier network intact.
Additionally, customised packaging provides a lasting unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into customer loyalty and, on occasion, free online advertising.
Maintaining each reorganisation consistently
When a reorder comes in, we process it as a first order, keeping the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the previously used suppliers.
As your order increases, the unit cost decreases, with savings included in the price, so there is no discount code to recall!
That identical pricing structure covers twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished within a quarter, and a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A repeat order from another supplier undergoes the same proofing process and thorough quality checks as an entirely new design.
No item passes inspection simply because it resembles something you already own.
Environmentally conscious sourcing from our leading packaging location
Every box we produce is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate only to create a glossy finish if this makes a box harder to recycle, and we are gradually removing single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to stand up to procurement audit scrutiny, we would be delighted to talk it through with you in person or over the telephone.

Find your ideal packaging solution with Custom Pack Studio today.
Call 01294 314 919 or email contact@custompackstudio.co.uk. If you are moving from another supplier, send us your current specification or a sample of the existing box, allowing us to quote directly against it rather than begin from scratch.
Beginning anew can be just as effective.
Give an approximate description of your packing needs and required quantity by telephone, or begin the design process with our online design tool before ordering. We will promptly send a written quotation, with no obligation to proceed.
Your initial order includes a free sample, as does the day an existing account transfers to us. In both cases, the person providing the quote will still manage your account in two years’ time.
We ship throughout the UK directly to Barking from the same Irvine factory, wherever your business is located.
