From a single sample to a full range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one dedicated team bring everything together.
Your artwork stays safely with us, your colours stay accurate from the first order through the tenth, and we speak plainly whenever a deadline allows little room for delay.
A dedicated representative oversees your request, manufacturing and dispatch, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. Because they remain part of the process, the specification stays consistent.
For a packaging supplier designed to grow with your business, get in touch with the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio now.
Which differs when packaging turns into an long-term supplier collaboration?
An early purchase largely involves the box itself, including whether it is the right fit, prints clearly, and arrives as scheduled.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification again from the start.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, keeping colour and wall thickness uniform from your first order to every reorder.
The individual quoting your job also runs it on the press.
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can contact them directly and receive a straightforward answer.
Why Barnstaple businesses choose the packaging services
Zero minimum purchase on every item
We do not set minimum quantities per order on anything we produce, meaning one sample and a five hundred unit reorder are handled through exactly the same process.
We do not require a minimum quantity before taking on your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This means we develop alongside your Barnstaple enterprise.
When the time comes to develop your business or extend your product range, we will support you at each stage of the process.
One single assigned contact starting from enquiry until delivery
One consistent contact remains with your account from the initial enquiry to delivery, so your specification is already known when you are prepared to reorder.
You will not be passed between departments or left having to explain the job again to someone new when you ring.
Countless eras of in-house manufacturing
From 1997, our parent business, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run printing presses in the UK.
This longstanding history ensures that the board and ink suppliers working on your order are reliable relationships built over decades, rather than newly sourced for each new job.
As we blend ink and maintain our own board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The plant makes precisely what appears on the approved proof.
Delivery dedicated to your Barnstaple operation
We supply nationwide, wherever your business is situated, whether you require one sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service gathers every order from the same Irvine factory according to a single schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Barnstaple.
Whether you need a single box provided for approval or several pallets arranged for a launch date, the same logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery continues in the same way as the order increases.
Tailored designs made centred on your item
Some products simply do not sit into a standard box.
Where yours has an atypical shape or awkward dimensions, we engineer the structure around it. Components needing separation during transit are given the same considered approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than fitted afterwards.
Our design department uses your real product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An early sample checks fit and function before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut requires refinement, we adjust it and provide a second sample instead of producing a batch that fails.
Boxing items 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 exactly the finish supplied with an order of five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is manufactured on a single production line.
Packages and boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for various retail and product packaging, with each panel printed so branding remains visible wherever containers are placed.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it has even been opened.
The standard of the board material and the accuracy of the die cut are equally important as the print itself.
Corrugated postal envelopes and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are manufactured to fit your product’s exact dimensions, cutting down on void fill and preventing the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transport.
When larger items set out on their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons protect them, while printed inserts softly cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in a single order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Wrapping services for any business
Our high-quality packaging is thoughtfully designed to support products across a wide range of industries.
Catering wrapping items
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging is held to the strictest requirements of all the categories we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s visual appeal.
High-end market
For jewellery, a bespoke insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while options including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We develop packaging designs that complement your goods, bringing your brand a decidedly luxurious feel.
Postal packages for online businesses
A squashed mailer frequently leads to a request for a return or refund, making durable packaging important for e commerce brands that require boxes to endure the courier network and arrive intact.
In addition, tailored packaging transforms opening the package into a memorable unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising.
Keeping every reorder uniform
A reorder follows the same procedure as a first order, using the same designated contact and proofing process, with board and ink obtained from the same suppliers as before.
Bigger orders reduce the unit cost, with the reduction built into the stated price instead of requiring a discount code to be applied.
The identical pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, and even a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder provided by another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as a completely new design.
Nothing is approved solely because it is created to look like something you already had.
Responsible procurement from our premier packaging site
Every box we produce is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t add laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
How adapting or initiating works
Please contact us and share an rough idea of what you need packed, your location in Barnstaple, the quantity required, and whether we should replicate an existing supplier.
Use our free samples service to ask for a sample when testing new products or verifying quality before placing a full order.
Provide approval for the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, aligned it with any current specification and supplied written price confirmation.
Manufacturing and delivery usually take two to three weeks. The majority of UK and Barnstaple addresses receive their orders within one to two working days of dispatch.
