Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee the entire process.
We retain your artwork on file, reproduce your colours on your tenth reorder as we did on the first, and tell you honestly when a deadline is tight.
A one named contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person stays responsible.

What changes occur when packaging becomes an continuous supplier relationship with Basingstoke
An initial order typically centres on the box itself: whether it fits properly, prints clearly and arrives as scheduled.
A relationship with a supplier earns trust by order six, when an identical product requires the same colour and fit, without needing the specification again.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, keeping colour and wall thickness uniform from your first order through every reorder.
The individual creating your quotation is also the one who operates your job on the press.
If anything about a reorder needs explaining, contact them directly for a straightforward, honest response.
Why Basingstoke-based businesses select our packaging services
There is no minimum spend on all article
We do not require a minimum order for any products we make, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow the same process.
Whether the order is modest or considerable, we are happy to accept it, with no minimum order quantity required and no added cost simply because it is small.
This indicates that our development is aligned with your Basingstoke business.
When you are prepared to develop your business or extend your product range, we will support you throughout every stage of your journey.
Sole committed representative, from initial request to final handover
One dedicated contact manages your account from initial enquiry through to delivery and is familiar with your details when you are next ready to reorder.
You are not passed around between departments or asked to go over the job again to someone new whenever you call.
Generations of internal manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed presses in the UK since 1997.
This background shows the board and ink suppliers working on your order are long-established partners, built over decades rather than found afresh for each new job.
We blend ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer understanding your brief.
What you approve in the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Delivery tailored to the Basingstoke enterprise
We deliver across the country, wherever your business is based, from a one sample to a full pallet.
Each order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory according to one schedule, irrespective of its size or destination in Basingstoke.
Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, one reliable logistics process handles everything, so delivery continues without change as your order increases.
Tailored creations made to fit your offering
Some products simply do not fit into a regular box.
If yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimensions, we create the structure to suit it exactly. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same considered treatment, built into the structure from the outset rather than being added afterwards.
Our design experts review your physical product rather than relying solely on specifications. An first sample verifies fit and operation before any unit moves into full production.
Should the die cut need adjustment, we amend it and provide a second sample rather than producing an unsuitable batch.
Packaging merchandise with the help of Custom Pack Studio
All packaging within our collection is produced in our own factory, so that the finish selected from a sample is identical to the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a specific product line or the accessories that finish an order, it is all produced on one production line.
Crates and boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes meet countless retail and product packaging needs, with branding featured on every panel so it continues to be visible wherever the container sits on the shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product prior to being opened.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are equally important as the print itself.
Corrugated post packaging and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your product’s exact dimensions, reducing void fill and preventing the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transit.
For heavier or heavier items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help keep everything inside safely cushioned.
A gusseted box increases in capacity to hold multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.
Wrapping services for your sector
Our premium packaging is ideal for diverse products across many industries.
Food packaging solutions
Our BRC Global Packaging certification covers the High Hygiene level. It is typically the first assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Packaging for food and drinks must meet the strictest standards of every category we supply, because safety during product contact is more important than appearance.
High-end field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product securely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination complement the contents.
We help you create packaging that enhances your products and brings a luxurious feel to your brand.
Mail box plus online shopping brands
A damaged mailer often triggers a request for a return or refund, making hard-wearing packaging essential for e commerce brands that require boxes to endure the courier network and arrive intact.
In addition, bespoke packaging turns opening your order into a memorable experience.
Transforming an opportunity into customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising!
Preserving each reorder steadily
A reorder follows the same procedure as a first order, using the same named contact and proofing process, with board and ink obtained from the same suppliers as before.
As order quantities increase, the price per unit falls, with savings already included in the pricing, leaving you with no discount code to remember.
The identical pricing structure covers twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, and even a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder provided by another supplier is put through the same proofing and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Each item is reviewed independently, even when designed to look like something you had owned previously.
Green sourcing from our first-class packaging plant
Each box we make is fully recyclable, helping to cut down on plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a shiny finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, while reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
Should 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.
