Regardless of your packaging requirements, from a single sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee it all.
We retain your artwork safely on file, match your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and let you know immediately if a deadline seems tight.
A one named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec remains unchanged because the same person stays responsible.

How do adjustments happen when packaging becomes an sustained supplier relationship with Barrow-in-Furness
A first order largely evaluates the box itself: whether it is the right fit, prints correctly and arrives on time.
A relationship with a supplier proves its value on the sixth order, when an matching product calls for matching colour and fit, without the need for you to restate the specification from the beginning.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through every reorder.
The individual quoting your job operates it on the press too!
When a reorder calls for clarity, they are the person you contact directly, ready with a straightforward answer.
The motives behind why Barrow-in-Furness businesses choose our company’s packaging packages
Zero minimum purchase on all items.
We do not require a minimum order on all products we make, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units go through the same procedures.
We do not require a minimum quantity before accepting your job, nor do we apply an extra charge simply because your order is small.
This shows we develop in step with your Barrow-in-Furness enterprise.
When the time comes to develop your business or product line, we will help you throughout the process.
A dedicated dedicated contact, from enquiry to completion
The same dedicated contact manages your account from first enquiry through to delivery, already being familiar with your specification when you are ready to order again.
You deal with one dedicated team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a new person each time you call.
Several decades of on-site manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has operated printing presses in the UK since 1997.
This background ensures that the board and ink suppliers working on your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than newly sourced for each new job.
As we prepare the ink and keep our own board stock, your colour match is not dependent on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.
The proof that you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.
Shipping customised around your Barrow-in-Furness enterprise
We deliver across the country, regardless of where your business is located, from a one sample to a full pallet.
Each order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory according to one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Barrow-in-Furness.
Whether you require one box sent for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery stays unchanged as the order grows.
Bespoke Designs Created Focussed on Your Item
Particular products defy the size of a standard box.
Where your item has an unusual shape or awkward dimension, we design the structure to fit it accurately. Components needing to be separated in transit are built into the structure, rather than added subsequently.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, rather than a specification sheet alone. Before full production starts, a first sample checks its fit and function.
If the die cut needs refinement, we revise it and issue another sample instead of creating a batch that is unsuitable.
Wrapping products by Custom Pack Studio
All packaging within our collection is made in our own factory, meaning the finish approved from a sample is precisely the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is manufactured on a single production line.
Crates and packaging cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit many retail and packaging demands. Printing covers every panel, helping ensure the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and presents, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it has even been opened.
Superior board material and accurate die cutting are every bit as important here as the printing itself.
Cardboard postal packets and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to fit your product’s exact dimensions, reducing void fill and helping to prevent the damage that an unsuitable box may cause during delivery.
For heavier or larger items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box folds out to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle whose contents differ each month.
Packaging designed to each sector
Our premium packaging is developed to serve a broad selection of products across many industries.
Meal packeting components
We hold 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 faces our strictest requirements, because product-contact safety takes priority over the box’s appearance.
Premium field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product firmly during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the contents.
We help you develop packaging that suits your items and gives your brand a luxurious feel.
Letter box plus internet retail names
A crushed mailer can spark a request for a return or refund, so e commerce brands need a box strong enough to pass through the delivery network undamaged.
Furthermore, bespoke packaging provides a remarkable unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into loyal customers and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Maintaining every reorder uniform
We handle every reorder as we would a first order, keeping the same named contact and proofing process, while obtaining the board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
Higher-volume orders reduce the unit cost, with the saving built into the stated price instead of requiring a discount code to be applied.
This pricing structure is applied equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier undergoes the same proofing procedure and rigorous quality checks as an completely new design.
No item passes an inspection just because it appears similar to something you currently own.
Sustainable sourcing from our top packaging location
Every box we make remains 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle. We are also reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
Should a sustainability statement call for examination during a procurement audit, we would be glad to review it with you in person or over the telephone.
