Whatever your packaging requirements, from a single sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team handle everything.
We keep your artwork safely on file, match your colours just as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and inform you promptly if a deadline seems tight.
From your initial sample to a reorder two years later, one dedicated contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification remains unchanged because the same person stays at the helm.

What shifts arise when packaging becomes an continuous supplier relationship with Bolton
A first order is really about the box itself: will it fit properly, print well and arrive on time?
A supplier relationship gains trust by order six, when an identical product needs the same colour and fit, without requiring the specification again.
Because we oversee board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, your colour and wall thickness stay uniform from the initial order through every reorder that follows.
The team member putting together your quotation is also the one who manages your job on the press.
If anything about a reorder requires clarification, contact them directly for a straightforward, honest response.
Why Bolton businesses rely on our packaging services
Absolutely no minimum buy on anything.
We do not impose minimum order quantities on anything we produce, meaning a single sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow precisely the same process.
We do not require a minimum volume before taking on your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This ensures our growth continues to align with your Bolton business.
When you are ready to develop your business or widen your product range, we will stand beside you at every stage of the journey.
One assigned contact starting from enquiry to delivery
One assigned contact handles your account from enquiry to delivery and understands your requirements when you are next ready to reorder.
You work with one regular team, so you never have to repeat the job to a different person when you call.
Several eras of onsite manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than sourced afresh for each job.
We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching does not depend on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The design proof you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.
Shipment customised for your Bolton operation
We ship nationwide to your organisation, whether you need a single sample or a full pallet.
Every order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory according to a single schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Bolton.
Whether you require one box sent for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, one consistent logistics process handles everything, so delivery stays consistent as your order grows.
Custom Solutions Developed Centred on Your Item
A few products do not fit within a standard box.
When yours has an uncommon shape or difficult dimensions, we create the structure to fit around it. Components needing separation during transit are given the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added later.
Our design specialists assesses your actual product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An initial sample checks fit and function before full production gets under way.
If the die cut needs altering, we modify it and issue a further sample rather than creating a batch that is unsuitable.
Wrapping goods by Tailor-made Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our range is made at our own site, ensuring that the finish selected from a sample is identically the finish provided for an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories that finish off every order, everything is made on a one production line.
Containers and packaging cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit different retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding stays visible wherever containers are positioned.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is even opened.
Premium quality board material and an precise die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Cardboard letter parcels and freight packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to suit your product’s dimensions, reducing void fill and helping to prevent the damage a ill-fitting box can cause during transit.
For larger or heavier items, we create corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts offer cushioning for the items inside.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it particularly suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that differ each month.
Packing options for the industry
Our premium packaging is well suited to diverse products across numerous industries.
Edible packaging components
We have High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, often the first detail food packaging customers ask about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging faces our most rigorous requirements, because safety when touching the product comes before the box’s appearance.
Luxury field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a bespoke insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.
We help design packaging that complements your items and gives your brand a luxurious feel.
Postal lockers and online shopping companies
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it often leads to a request for a return or refund, making sturdy packaging necessary for ecommerce brands managing courier networks.
Tailored packaging also provides a standout unboxing experience.
Converting an opening into customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising!
Preserving each reordering in uniformity
When a reorder comes in, we handle it as a first order, keeping the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
As order quantities increase, the unit price decreases, with savings already included in the pricing, leaving no discount code to remember.
This pricing approach applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder provided by another supplier undergoes identical proofing and quality checks as a completely new design.
No item is approved without careful review merely because it is intended to look like something you already owned.
Eco-friendly procurement from our leading packaging centre
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, assisting in reducing plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim needs to withstand a procurement audit, we are happy to talk it through in person or by telephone.
