Sustainable Packaging for Small Businesses
Packaging Supplier Broadstairs

Whatever your packaging requirements, ranging from a single sample to a full range of products for a continuing account, are overseen by a single factory and one dedicated team.

We keep your artwork on file, match colours on your tenth reorder as accurately as on the first, and speak plainly when time is short.

One dedicated contact handles your query, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The specification continues unchanged because the same person manages everything!

For a packaging supplier designed to grow alongside your business, get in touch with the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio today.

How the packing shifts when it is established as a sustained supplier partnership

An initial order is chiefly about the box itself: whether its dimensions are suitable, whether it prints effectively, and whether it is delivered punctually.

A supplier relationship becomes important on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the start.

We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every reorder.

The person quoting your job runs it on the press as well!

When a reorder requires clarification, they are the person you speak to directly, prepared with a honest answer.

Why Broadstairs-branded businesses rely on our packaging options

No minimum purchase on any product

We do not set minimum quantities per order on any products we make, meaning one sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through precisely the same process.

We do not require a minimum volume to take on your job, and small orders never attract an additional charge.

This ensures our growth stays aligned with your Broadstairs business.

When you are ready to develop your business or extend your product range, we will stand beside you at all stages of the process.

One single assigned contact starting from enquiry through to delivery

One dedicated contact manages your account from enquiry to delivery and knows your requirements when you are ready to order again.

You are never passed from one department to another, nor required to repeat the details of your job each time you call.

Several years of internal manufacturing

Our main company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.

That background means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are established contacts built over decades, not new sources identified for each incoming job.

Since we produce our own ink and maintain board stock, colour matching does not depend on a third party printer understanding your brief.

The proof that you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.

Shipping designed for your Broadstairs operation

No matter where your business calls home across the country, we supply from one sample to a full pallet.

Our delivery service picks up each order from the same Irvine factory according to a single schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Broadstairs.

Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process oversees everything, ensuring delivery stays unchanged as the order grows.

Personalised designs developed to enhance your product

Certain products do not sit within a regular box.

If your item has an atypical shape or challenging dimension, we create the structure to fit it exactly. Components needing to be separated during transit are incorporated into the structure, rather than added afterwards.

Our design department deals directly with your actual product rather than using only a spec sheet. The first sample tests fit and function before production gets under way.

If the die cut needs altering, we modify it and send a second sample rather than creating a batch that is unsuitable.

Luminae Packaging - Custom Pack Studio

Packing products by Tailor-made Pack Studio

All packaging in our range is produced at our own factory, helping to ensure the finish approved on your sample is consistent with that supplied in an order of five hundred.

From custom-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that finish off every order, everything is produced on a single production line.

Cases and crates

Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to ensure your branding visible regardless of how the container is placed on a shelf.

For jewellery and presents, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product before it has even been opened.

High quality board material and an precise die cut are just as important here as the print itself.

Recycled mailing envelopes and delivery 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 heavier or larger items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help protect and cushion their contents.

A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.

Packing answers for the sector

Our high-quality packaging is well suited to diverse products across many industries.

Food packeting supplies

We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is generally the first requirement food packaging customers enquire about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.

Food and drink packaging faces our most rigorous requirements, because safety during contact with the product comes before the box’s appearance.

Prestige industry

For jewellery and cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam cavity holds products securely during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the contents.

We design packaging that elevates your items and provides your brand a luxurious feel.

Post parcels and e-commerce businesses

When a mailer is delivered crushed, it often leads to a return or refund request, making durable packaging important for ecommerce brands managing courier networks.

What’s moreover, bespoke packaging transforms opening your order into a memorable unboxing experience!

Transforming an opening into loyal customers and, occasionally, complimentary online advertising.

Maintaining every reorder standardised

Your repeat order receives exactly the same treatment as your first order. That means the same named contact, identical proofing process, and board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.

The cost per unit reduces as the quantity ordered grows, with those cost reductions already included in the pricing rather than depending on a discount code you need to remember to use.

The same rates applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished over the course of a quarter, or a pallet secured for large-volume delivery.

Even when reordering a matched item from another supplier, we carry out the same proofing and quality checks needed for a brand-new design.

No article passes inspection merely because it appears similar to something you currently own.

Sustainable sourcing from our premier packaging site

Each box we make is fully recyclable, helping to minimise both plastic rubbish and waste sent to landfill.

We won’t introduce laminate just for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.

If a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be pleased to talk it through with you in person or by telephone.

How adapting or embarking works

Contact us with an estimated description of what you need to package, your location in Broadstairs, the needed quantity, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.

If you are considering new products or would like to evaluate their quality before placing a complete order, you can request a sample via our complimentary samples service.

Give approval for the proof after our team has created the artwork, aligned it with any existing specification and confirmed the pricing in writing.

Production and delivery normally take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Broadstairs addresses receive deliveries within one to two working days after dispatch.

Place a repeat order whenever you need, with the same named contact and specification already on file!
