From a one-off sample to a complete range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one dedicated team handle everything in one place.
We keep your artwork on file, match colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and be straightforward when time is short.
A named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder after two years. Because they remain involved, the specification stays unchanged.

What changes when packing becomes an sustained vendor alliance?
When that initial order comes in, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it reaches you by the expected time.
A supplier relationship proves its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to repeat the specification from scratch.
Because we handle board stock and ink mixing inside our own factory, your colour and wall thickness remain consistent from the initial order through every reorder that follows.
The person preparing the quote for your job also runs it on the press.
Questions about a reorder go directly to them for a clear, genuine answer.
The motives behind why Birkenhead businesses choose our packaging options
Absolutely no minimum spend on anything.
There is no minimum order for any item we produce, so a single sample or a reorder of five hundred units goes through exactly the same process!
We do not need a minimum volume before accepting your work, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because the order is small.
This means, we grow with your Birkenhead business.
Once you are ready to develop your business or product line, we will guide you through every stage of your journey.
A single designated contact starting from enquiry to delivery
A single dedicated contact handles your account from initial enquiry through to delivery and knows your details when you are next ready to reorder.
You are never transferred between teams, or forced to explain the job again to a new person whenever you call.
Decades of internal production
Our holding company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
As we prepare the ink and keep our own board stock, your colour match does not rely on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.
The proof that you approve is precisely what leaves the factory.
Distribution personalised to your Birkenhead operation
We supply across the country, wherever your business is situated, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
Every delivery is collected from the same Irvine factory according to one consistent schedule, whatever the order size or delivery destination in Birkenhead.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process oversees everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Personalised creations crafted around your offering.
Not every product is well suited to a regular box.
If your item has an unusual shape or awkward dimension, we engineer the structure to fit it precisely. Components needing to be separated for transit are built into the structure, rather than added subsequently.
Our design specialists evaluate your physical product rather than relying solely on specifications. An initial sample checks fit and operation before any unit moves into full production.
If the die cut needs adjusting, we revise it and create a second sample instead of producing an unusable batch.
Packing merchandise via Custom Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our range is manufactured at our own site, which ensures that the finish selected from a sample is identically the finish provided for an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a sole product line or the accessories that finish an order, everything is produced on one production line.
Containers and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes serve a wide range of retail and product packaging needs, with branding featured on every panel so it stays visible wherever the container sits on the shelf.
For gifts and jewellery, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts selling the product before it has even been opened.
Superior board material and accurate die cutting are just as important here as the printing itself.
Corrugated mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s dimensions, reducing void fill and helping to prevent the damage a poorly fitted box can cause during transit.
For more sizeable items, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts protect items placed inside.
A gusseted box unfolds to hold several items in one order, making it ideal for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Containers customised to your own business area
Our high-quality packaging is well suited to diverse products across many industries.
Grocery packing materials
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 is held to the most stringent requirements of all the categories we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s visual appeal.
High-end sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity keeps products safe during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the contents.
We assist you create packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a high-end feel.
Post boxes for e-commerce labels
A squashed mailer can trigger a request for a return or refund, so e commerce brands need a box strong enough to make its way through the delivery network intact.
In addition, tailored packaging transforms opening the package into a memorable unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into loyal customers and, from time to time, complimentary online advertising!
Maintaining every reorder standardised
We handle every reorder in the same way as a first order, retaining the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as previously.
The price per unit falls as the quantity ordered grows, with those savings already factored in the pricing rather than relying on a discount code you need to remember to use.
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 a different supplier undergoes the same proofing process and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Everything is evaluated separately, even when created to resemble something you owned before.
Green procurement from our top packaging centre
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, contributing to a reduction in plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate purely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are moving away from 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 examine it with you face to face or by telephone.
How shifting or launching works
