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 hold on to your artwork, reproduce your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you frankly when a deadline is tight.
A one named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder after two years. The specification stays consistent because the same person is still responsible.
For a packaging supplier designed to grow with your business, get in touch with the welcoming team at Custom Pack Studio today.
Which alterations occur when packing becomes a continuous provider alliance with Burton upon Trent?
An initial run largely involves the box itself, including whether it is the right fit, prints clearly, and arrives on schedule.
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 beginning.
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 producing your quotation will also handle your job on the press.
When a reorder requires clarification, they are the person to speak to directly for a genuine answer.
Why Burton upon Trent-led firms opt for the packaging options
Zero minimum quantity on any product.
There’s no minimum order requirement for any item we produce, so a single sample or a repeat order of five hundred units goes through exactly the same process!
We don’t require a minimum order volume, and we don’t add an extra charge just because your order is small.
As a result, we grow alongside your Burton upon Trent business.
When you are ready to expand your business or broaden your product range, our support will remain with you at every stage of the journey.
One sole named contact from enquiry to delivery
One dedicated contact remains with your account from initial enquiry to delivery, so your specification is already familiar when you are ready to place another order.
You are never transferred from one department to another, nor required to repeat the details of your job each time you call.
Countless decades of internal manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.
That tradition indicates the board and ink suppliers working on your order embody relationships established over decades, rather than sources newly identified for every separate commission.
Since we mix our own ink and maintain board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The proof you approve is the same as what leaves the production facility.
Distribution adapted to suit your Burton upon Trent venture
We ship nationwide to your organisation, whether you need a single 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 Burton upon Trent.
Whether you need one box sent for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, the same logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Personalised designs created to suit your offering
Some products do not fit within a standard box.
If yours has an unusual shape or challenging dimensions, we design the structure to suit it exactly. Components that require separation during transit receive the same considered treatment, incorporated into the structure from the beginning rather than being added afterwards.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, rather than a specification sheet alone. Before full production starts, a first sample checks its fit and function.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we amend it and issue a further sample rather than creating a batch that is unsuitable.
Packaging goods from Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our selection is produced at our own site, meaning the finish approved on your sample is identical to that supplied in an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order, everything is made on one production line.
Parcels and boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit varied retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding remains visible wherever containers are placed.
For jewellery and gifts, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is opened at all.
The standard of the board material and the accuracy of the die cut are just as important as the print itself.
Recycled cardboard post mailers and dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s dimensions rather than a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and limiting damage caused by a poorly fitting box in transit.
For bigger or heavier products, we manufacture corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts safeguard the contents 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 vary each month.
Wrapping options for every sector
Our top-grade packaging is well suited to varied products across many industries.
Meal wrapping items
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is generally the initial requirement food packaging customers ask about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Of every category we provide, food and drink packaging is governed by the strictest requirements, as maintaining safe contact with the product takes priority over the box’s appearance.
High-end sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity secures each product firmly during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the contents.
We create packaging designs that complement your items, providing your brand a distinctly luxurious feel.
Postal containers and digital commerce names
When a mailer arrives at its destination crushed, it typically suggests a request for a return or refund, leaving online brands seeking packaging sturdy enough to remain whole from the delivery network.
Moreover, custom-made packaging transforms opening the package into a memorable unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into loyal customers and, occasionally, free online advertising!
Keeping all reorder consistent
A repeat order adheres to the same procedure as a initial order, using the same named contact and proofing process, with board and ink sourced from the same suppliers as before.
As your order gets larger, the unit cost decreases, with savings already reflected in the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
That identical pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand restocked within a quarter, and a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder sourced from another supplier undergoes the same proofing and quality checks as a new design.
No article passes an inspection simply because it appears similar to something you currently own.
Eco-friendly procurement from our premier packaging facility
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 it makes a box harder to recycle. We are also reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to withstand procurement audit scrutiny, we would be pleased to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
How changing or beginning works
