From a single sample to a complete packaging range for a continuing account, one factory and team handle every requirement.
We retain your artwork files on file, see that colour matching remains consistent from the first order to the tenth, and advise you candidly when a deadline is especially demanding.
A single representative oversees your request, manufacturing and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. Because they remain involved, the specification stays unchanged.

How differences come about if packaging becomes an sustained distributor association
A first order largely evaluates the box itself: whether it is the right fit, prints correctly and arrives as scheduled.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the beginning.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness stay consistent from your first order to every reorder.
The person putting together your quotation is also the one who operates your job on the press.
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can talk to them directly and receive a straightforward answer.
Reasons Bilston businesses choose Our packaging solutions
Zero minimum buy on all items.
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, meaning one sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow the same process.
We do not require a minimum order volume, and we don’t add an extra charge solely because your order is small.
This shows we develop in step with your Bilston company.
When you are prepared to develop your business or extend your product range, we will assist you during every stage of your journey.
Just one exclusive point of contact, from inquiry to delivery
One assigned contact manages your account from initial enquiry through to delivery and knows your specification when you are next ready to reorder.
You are never passed between departments, or required to repeat the details of the job to a different person whenever you get in touch.
Decades of in-house manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated presses in the UK from 1997.
This history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are long-established partners, built over decades rather than newly sourced for each individual job.
Because we prepare ink and keep board stock in house, colour matching never depends on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The sample you sign off on is the same as what leaves the production facility.
Shipping bespoke to your Bilston business
No matter where your business calls home across the country, we deliver from one sample to a full pallet.
Every delivery is collected from the same Irvine factory according to a single consistent schedule, whatever the size of the order or delivery destination in Bilston.
Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, the same logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Bespoke layouts made around your offering
Certain products do not sit within a conventional box.
When yours has an uncommon shape or difficult dimensions, we engineer the structure to accommodate it. Components needing separation during transit receive the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added at a later stage.
Our design specialists reviews your actual product rather than using only a specification sheet. An initial sample verifies fit and function before production in full starts.
If the die cut needs adjusting, we make the necessary changes and send a second sample instead of creating an unusable batch.
Packaging items from Custom Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our collection is made at our own site, ensuring that the finish selected from a sample is precisely the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a specific product line or the accessories that complete an order, everything is produced on one production line.
Cartons and boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit a wide range of retail and product packaging needs, with every panel printed to keep your branding visible wherever the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does a lot of the selling before it is even opened.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Paperboard mailers plus dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to suit your product’s dimensions, helping to reduce void fill and preventing the damage a ill-fitting box can cause during transit.
When heavier items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons protect them, while printed inserts softly cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in a single order, making it a suitable choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Parceling adapted to the industry
Our high-quality packaging is meticulously designed to protect products across a wide range of industries.
Catering packaging provisions
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is usually the first thing food packaging customers ask about, from smaller bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Packaging for food and beverages must meet the strictest standards of every category we supply, because safety during product contact comes before appearance.
Luxury field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity secures each product safely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination complement the contents.
We support you in creating packaging that enhances your goods, adding a premium feel for your business.
Postal boxes for internet retailers
A crushed mailer frequently leads to a return or refund request, making robust packaging necessary for e commerce brands that need boxes to cope with the courier network and arrive intact.
Additionally, bespoke packaging makes the opening of your order memorable.
Turning an opening into customer loyalty and, on occasion, free online advertising.
Preserving every reorder consistently
A reorder adheres to the same procedure as a first order, using the same designated contact and proofing process, with board and ink sourced from the same suppliers as before.
As order quantities increase, the unit price falls, with savings already included in the pricing, leaving no discount code to remember.
The same rates covers twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
Even when ordering again a matched item from another supplier, we perform the same proofing and quality checks needed for a completely new design.
Nothing gets approved automatically just because it resembles something you already had!
Green procurement from our renowned packaging site
Every box we produce remains 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, whilst reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If you require a sustainability claim to withstand procurement audit scrutiny, we would be delighted to discuss it with you face to face or over the telephone.
How swapping or starting operates
Please contact us with an general description of what you need to pack, your location in Bilston, the quantity required, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
If you are evaluating new products or would like to evaluate their quality before placing a full order, you can request a sample via our complimentary samples service.
Approve the proof after our team has created the artwork, checked against any existing spec and confirmed pricing in writing.
Manufacturing and delivery generally take two to three weeks. Most UK and Bilston addresses get their orders within one to two working days of being dispatched.
Place a repeat order as required through that same named contact, using the specification on file.
