Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team manage everything.
We keep your artwork, replicate your colours as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and speak honestly to you when a deadline is tight.
A single named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person remains responsible.

How packing transforms when it develops into a continuing supplier alliance
An initial order generally considers the box in question: whether it fits properly, prints clearly and is delivered on time.
A supplier relationship becomes important on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification again from the start.
We manage board stock and ink mixing at our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness stay consistent from your initial order through each repeat order.
The person preparing your quotation is also the one who operates your job on the press.
When a reorder requires clarification, they are the person you speak to directly, ready with a genuine answer.
How come Bishop’s Stortford businesses select our packaging offerings
Zero minimum order on each item
We do not have a minimum order for anything we produce, meaning a single sample and a five-hundred-unit reorder follow the identical process.
We do not require a minimum volume before taking on your job, nor do we add an additional charge simply because your order is limited.
As a result, our growth continues to align with your Bishop’s Stortford business.
Once you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will assist you through every stage of your journey.
Single assigned contact, right from enquiry through to delivery
The same dedicated personal contact looks after your account from first enquiry through to delivery, already knowing your specification when you are ready to place another order.
You are not passed around between departments or asked to explain the job again to someone new whenever you call.
Several decades of on-premises manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK from 1997.
This background means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are long-established partners, built over decades rather than newly sourced for each incoming job.
As we prepare the ink and maintain our own board stock, your colour match does not rely on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.
The plant produces exactly what is signed off on the proof.
Distribution tailored to your Bishop’s Stortford company
We ship across the country, regardless of where your business is based, from a one sample to a full pallet.
Every delivery is collected from the same Irvine factory according to the same regular schedule, whatever the order size or delivery destination in Bishop’s Stortford.
Whether a lone box requires couriering for approval or several pallets must arrive for a launch date, one logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery remains steady as orders grow.
Bespoke creations developed around your goods
A few products do not fit within a conventional box.
When yours has an irregular shape or difficult dimensions, we design the structure to work around it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added later.
Our design team assesses your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample confirms fit and function before production in full gets under way.
If the die cut needs refining, we update it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that does not meet requirements.
Packing items from 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.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that finish off each order, everything is produced on a single production line.
Cases and parcels
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit many retail and packaging demands. Printing extends across every panel, helping ensure the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid helps sell the product before it is even opened!
The standard of the board and the accuracy of its die cut are equally important here as the printing itself.
Cardboard mailers and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to fit your product’s exact dimensions, reducing void fill and helping to prevent the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transit.
When larger items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts softly cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that change each month.
Containers tailored to each business area
Our top-tier packaging is well suited to varied products across various industries.
Meal packing provisions
Our BRC Global Packaging certification covers the High Hygiene level. It is typically the first assurance food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging is governed by the strictest requirements of every category we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s visual appeal.
Luxury industry
For jewellery, a bespoke insert or foam recess limits movement during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.
We help you create packaging that complements your products and brings a luxurious feel to your brand.
Mail cartons for internet stores
A squashed mailer can spark a return or refund request, so e commerce brands need a box durable enough to pass through the delivery network in one piece.
Additionally, tailored packaging turns unboxing into a lasting experience.
Turning an opening into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising!
Maintaining all reshuffle continuously
When a reorder arrives, we process it as a first order, retaining the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the previously used suppliers.
As your order grows, the unit cost drops, with savings built into the price, so there is no discount code to recall!
This pricing structure applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder supplied by another supplier is put through the same proofing and quality checks as a completely new design.
Nothing passes simply because it is similar to something you already possessed.
Environmentally friendly sourcing from our renowned packaging site
Every box we make is fully recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not introduce laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If your sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we would be delighted to talk it through with you in person or by phone.
