Whatever your packaging requirements, from an individual sample to a complete range of products for a ongoing account, are overseen by a single factory and one dedicated team.
We retain your artwork in our records, reproduce your colours on your tenth reorder just as on the first, and tell you honestly when a deadline is tight.
A single named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec remains unchanged because the same person remains responsible.

How do shifts occur when packaging becomes an ongoing supplier relationship with Bishop Auckland
A first order is really about the box itself: will it fit properly, print clearly and reach you on time?
A working relationship with a supplier is confirmed on order six, when the same product calls for the same colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification again from scratch.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness stay consistent from your first order through every reorder.
The team member preparing your quotation is also the one who operates your job on the press.
When a reorder calls for clarity, they are the person you speak to directly, ready with a straightforward answer.
Why Bishop Auckland enterprises opt for our own packaging options
Absolutely no minimum purchase on all item
There is no minimum order for any item we produce, so one sample or a repeat order of five hundred units follows exactly the same process!
We set no minimum volume requirement, and a lower-volume order will not attract an additional charge.
This means that our progress is consistent with your Bishop Auckland business.
Whenever you are prepared to develop your business or broaden your product range, we will support you throughout every stage of your journey.
Single assigned contact, starting from enquiry through to delivery
Your dedicated contact remains with your account from enquiry all the way through to delivery, so they know your spec when you are ready to place another order.
You are never passed between departments or asked to describe the job again to a new member of the team whenever you telephone.
Numerous years of onsite manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
That heritage shows the board and ink suppliers working on your order represent relationships built over decades, rather than sources newly identified for each individual commission.
We blend our own ink and maintain board stock ourselves, so colour matching never depends on a third-party printer interpreting your instructions.
The version approved on the proof is precisely what leaves the plant.
Despatch personalised to your Bishop Auckland firm
We supply across the country, wherever your business is situated, whether you need a single sample or a complete pallet.
Every delivery is collected from the same Irvine factory according to a single consistent schedule, whatever the order size or destination in Bishop Auckland.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, one reliable logistics process oversees everything, so delivery stays consistent as your order increases.
Personalised Designs Built Centred on Your Goods
Certain products simply do not fit into a regular box.
Where your item has an atypical shape or difficult dimension, we create the structure to fit it exactly. Components needing to be separated in transit are incorporated into the structure, rather than fitted later.
Our design department works with your real product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample checks fit and function before any unit goes into full production.
If the die cut needs adjustment, we adjust it and provide another sample rather than making a batch that is not suitable.
Enclosing items by Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is made at our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
Everything from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories included with an order is made on one production line.
Containers and packing boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit various retail and product packaging, with each panel printed so branding stays visible wherever containers sit.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product before it is even revealed!
Here, quality board and an exact die cut are just as important as the printing itself.
Cardboard mailing packs and postage packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your item, rather than a generic size, cutting down on wasted space and damage caused in transit by a poorly fitted box.
When heavier items are sent on their way, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons protect them, while printed inserts softly cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that change each month.
Packing answers for the sector
Our high-quality packaging is carefully designed to support products across a broad range of industries.
Gourmet packing supplies
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is generally the first thing food packaging customers enquire about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Packaged products for food and drinks must meet the highest standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety comes before appearance.
Premium market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity holds products securely in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the contents.
We support you in designing packaging that enhances your products, bringing a upmarket feel for your company.
Postal boxes for internet businesses
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it typically suggests a return or refund request, leaving online brands seeking packaging robust enough to arrive intact from the courier network.
What’s more, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a a remarkable unboxing experience!
An opening can become customer loyalty and, at times, free advertising online.
Maintaining each reordering uniform
We process every reorder as we would a first order, retaining the same named contact and proofing process, while obtaining the board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
The cost per unit decreases as the quantity ordered rises, with those savings already incorporated in the price rather than relying on a discount code you need to remember to use.
This pricing model covers equally twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
Even a matched reorder from a different supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as an entirely new design.
Nothing gets approved automatically simply because it looks like something you already had!
Ethical sourcing from our leading packaging facility
Every box we produce is entirely recyclable, helping to limit plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box harder to recycle. We are also reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we are glad to talk it through face to face or over the telephone.
How altering or starting functions
Please get in touch with us with an approximate outline of what you need to pack, where you are based in Bishop Auckland, the quantity required, and whether an existing supplier must be matched.
Ask for a sample through our free samples service when testing new products or checking quality before committing with a full order.
Authorise the proof after our team prepares the artwork, aligns with any existing spec and verifies pricing in writing.
Production and delivery typically require two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Bishop Auckland addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
