Which modifications emerge when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Bedford
Once that first order arrives, attention turns to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it reaches you by the expected time.
A supplier relationship proves its value on the sixth order, when an identical product requires matching colour and fit, without making you restate the specification from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain the same from your first order through every reorder.
The person who prices your job also runs it on the press.
When a reorder requires clarification, they are the person to contact directly for a definitive answer.
Why Bedford-based businesses select our packing solutions
There is no minimum order on all product
We do not impose a minimum order for all items we produce, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through the same process.
We do not require a minimum volume before accepting your work, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because the order is small.
In turn, we grow together with your Bedford business.
When the time arrives to develop your business or product line, we will assist you every step of the way.
A single designated contact from enquiry through to delivery
One designated contact handles your account from your first enquiry to delivery, keeping a clear understanding of your specification when you are ready to place another order.
You will not be transferred between departments or made to explain the job again to someone new each time you call.
Numerous decades of onsite manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.
That background means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than sourced afresh for each job.
Since we mix our own ink and hold board stock, colour matching doesn’t rely on a third party printer deciphering your brief.
The factory manufactures exactly what appears on the approved proof.
Distribution tailored to the Bedford company
We deliver nationwide to your organisation, whether you need a single sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same facility in Irvine according to a set schedule, irrespective of order size or destination within Bedford.
Whether a single box requires couriering for approval or multiple pallets must arrive for a launch date, one logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery remains consistent as orders expand.
Bespoke designs developed to fit your offering
Not each product is suited to a typical box.
If yours has an atypical shape or awkward dimension, we design the structure to accommodate it. Components requiring separation during transit are handled similarly, integrated into the structure instead of being attached at a later stage.
Our design department collaborates directly with your actual product rather than depending entirely on a spec sheet. The first sample assesses fit and function before production gets under way.
If the die cut needs adjusting, we update it and provide a second sample instead of producing a batch that fails.
Enclosing goods by Custom Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our collection is produced at our own facility, ensuring that the finish approved from a sample is identically the finish delivered for an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete every order, everything is produced on a single production line.
Boxes and cartages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for varied retail and product packaging, with printing provided across every panel to help ensure the branding visible regardless of how the container is oriented on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is even opened.
The standard of the board and the precision of its die cut are just as important here as the printing itself.
Corrugated postal mailers and freight packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your product’s exact dimensions, minimising void fill and preventing the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transport.
For bigger or heavier products, we manufacture corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, whilst printed inserts safeguard the contents within.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle whose contents vary each month.
Wrapping solutions for any field
Our top-tier packaging is carefully designed to protect products across a broad range of industries.
Meal packing items
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Packaging for food and drinks must meet the strictest standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety comes before appearance.
Prestige industry
For cosmetics, a bespoke insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while options including foil stamping or soft touch lamination complement the product within.
We create packaging designs that complement your items, giving your brand a noticeably luxurious feel.
Post boxes for internet brands
A crushed mailer frequently leads to a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands require a box designed to withstand the courier network and reach its destination intact.
Furthermore, tailored packaging provides a memorable unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Preserving every reorganisation constantly
Your reorder gets 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 unit cost falls as the quantity ordered increases, with those savings already factored in the price rather than depending on a discount code you need to remember to use.
This pricing structure applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder procured from another supplier goes through the same proofing and quality checks as a new design.
Nothing is approved without careful review simply because it is designed to resemble something you already owned.
Responsible sourcing from our premier packaging establishment
Each box we create is completely recyclable, which helps reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t introduce laminate just for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
Should a sustainability statement need scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be happy to discuss it with you either in person or by telephone.
How modifying or commencing unfolds
Please contact us with an rough outline of what you need to pack, your location in Bedford, the quantity required, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
If you are trying new products or want to check their quality before submitting a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.
Approve the proof after our team finishes the artwork, matches any existing specification and confirms the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery normally take two to three weeks, while most UK and Bedford addresses get their orders within one to two working days following dispatch.
Order again whenever required, using the same named contact and specification on file already!
