Regardless of your packaging requirements, from one sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team manage everything.
We keep your artwork files on file, see that colour matching remains consistent from the first order through to the tenth, and advise you candidly when a deadline is particularly demanding.
One dedicated contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The specification remains consistent because the same person manages everything!

How do shifts arise when wrapping becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Blackburn
An first run largely relates to the box itself, including whether it fits, prints well, 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.
Because we manage board stock and ink mixing inside our own factory, your colour and wall thickness remain uniform from the initial order through every reorder that follows.
The person preparing your quotation is also the one who manages your job on the press.
Whenever a reorder calls for clarity, they are the person you contact directly, prepared with a honest answer.
Why Blackburn-owned companies select our company’s packaging packages
Zero minimum order on every item
We do not require a minimum order for anything we produce, so a single sample and a reorder of five hundred units follow the same process.
We impose no minimum volume requirement, and a lower-volume order will not carry an additional charge.
This indicates that our progress is consistent with your Blackburn business.
When the time arrives to expand your business or product line, we will help you throughout the process.
A dedicated contact, right from enquiry through to delivery
Your dedicated contact stays with your account from enquiry right through to delivery, so they understand your spec when you are ready to reorder.
You will not be transferred between departments or made to explain the job again to someone new when you ring.
Countless eras of internal manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK from 1997.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
Since we prepare our own ink and keep board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer deciphering your brief.
The design proof you accept is the same as what leaves the production facility.
Dispatch personalised to your Blackburn company
We ship nationwide to your organisation, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Every delivery is picked up from the same Irvine factory according to the same regular schedule, whatever the order size or destination in Blackburn.
Whether you require a single box delivered for sign-off or multiple pallets arranged for a launch date, one reliable logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery stays consistent as your order grows.
Bespoke Creations Created Around Your Goods
Not every product is suitable to a regular box.
If your item has an atypical shape or difficult dimension, we design the structure to fit it accurately. Components needing to be separated for transit are built into the structure, rather than fitted later.
Our design team works with your actual product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An initial sample assesses fit and function before any unit enters full production.
If the die cut needs adjustment, we amend it and dispatch a second sample rather than making a batch that is not appropriate.
Boxing goods from Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is made at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample matches the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
From tailored packaging made for a single product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is produced from one production line.
Boxes and parcels
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit many retail packaging requirements. Printing covers every panel, ensuring the branding remains visible whatever way the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it has even been opened.
The quality of the board material and the accuracy of the die cut are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard mail envelopes and freight packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to suit your product’s measurements, minimising surplus void fill and limiting the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause in transit.
When bulkier items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts gently cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box folds out to hold multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle whose contents change each month.
Packaging options for any trade
Our high-quality packaging is particularly suitable to varied products across various industries.
Catering packaging materials
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first detail our food packaging customers ask about, whether they run a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging is governed by the most stringent requirements of all the categories we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s look.
Premium field
When jewellery and cosmetics travel, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product securely, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We help create packaging that enhances your items and adds your brand a high-end feel.
Postal boxes for digital businesses
When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it often leads to a request for a return or refund, making robust packaging important for ecommerce brands navigating courier networks.
Custom packaging also provides a standout unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into loyalty from customers and, sometimes, free online advertising!
Keeping each reorder steadily
We handle each reorder precisely as we do a first order, using the same named contact, identical proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used before.
As your order grows, the lower unit cost is included directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to keep in mind.
This pricing structure applies whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within 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 is approved solely because it is created to resemble something you already had.
Environmentally responsible sourcing from our top packaging plant
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, contributing to a reduction in plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t add laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box harder to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability statement need scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be happy to discuss it with you either face to face or by telephone.
How modifying or initiating works
Please get in touch with us with an rough outline of what you need to pack, your location in Blackburn, the quantity required, and whether an existing supplier needs to be matched.
Take advantage of our free samples service to ask for a sample when trialling new products or verifying quality before placing a larger order.
Approve the proof after our team creates the artwork, follows any existing spec and confirms pricing in writing.
Production and delivery generally require two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Blackburn addresses get their deliveries within one to two working days after dispatch.
Whenever needed, reorder through the same named contact using the same specification held on file.
