What shifts occur when packaging becomes an enduring supplier relationship with Caterham
When that initial order arrives, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it gets to you by the expected time.
A trading relationship shows its value on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification once more.
Because we oversee board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, your colour and wall thickness remain uniform from the first order through every reorder that follows.
The person preparing your quote will also run your job on the press.
If anything about a reorder needs explaining, speak to them directly for a clear, genuine answer.
The Reason Caterham businesses select Our packaging services
There is no minimum purchase on anything.
We do not impose minimum order quantities on anything we produce, meaning one sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow precisely the same process.
We have no minimum volume requirement, and a lower-volume order will not carry an additional charge.
In other words, we grow with your Caterham business.
When you are ready to grow your business or broaden your product range, our support will be there for you at every stage of the journey.
A designated contact beginning at enquiry to delivery
The same person continues handling your account throughout the process, from initial enquiry to delivery, already acquainted with your specifications when the time comes to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or expected to explain the job again to a new member of the team whenever you telephone.
Many generations of in-house manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has managed printing presses in the UK since 1997.
This longstanding history means that the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than newly sourced for each individual job.
As we prepare the ink and keep our own board stock, your colour match does not rely on an outside printer’s interpretation of your brief.
The design proof you sign off on is the same as what leaves the factory.
Courier service crafted around your Caterham firm
No matter where your business calls its base across the country, we deliver from one sample to a full pallet.
Every order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory under one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Caterham.
Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, one reliable logistics process manages everything, so delivery stays consistent as your order expands.
Custom designs created to enhance your item
Certain products simply do not fit into a standard box.
Where your item has an atypical shape or difficult dimension, we design the structure to fit it exactly. Components needing to be separated in transit are built into the structure, rather than fitted later.
Our design experts assess your physical product rather than using only specifications. An initial sample checks fit and operation before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut needs adjustment, we amend it and provide another sample rather than producing a batch that is not suitable.
Packaging merchandise through Custom Pack Studio
Every item in our packaging range is made at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is exactly what you receive when ordering five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is produced on a single production line.
Cartons and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit numerous retail and product packaging needs, with each panel printed to keep your branding noticeable wherever the container rests on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid performs much of the selling before it has even been opened.
The quality of the board material and the precision of the die cut are just as important as the print itself.
Cardboard mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s dimensions rather than a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and reducing damage caused by a poorly fitting box in transit.
For bigger or heavier items, we create corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in complete colour, while printed inserts offer cushioning for the contents.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents differ each month.
Packing tailored to your own sector
Our premium packaging is created to accommodate a broad selection of products across various industries.
Food packaging basics
We have High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, often the first point food packaging customers ask about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Of all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the highest level of care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always come before the box’s appearance.
Premium grade field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity secures each product safely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the contents.
We help you create packaging that elevates your products and brings a luxurious feel to your brand.
Mail cartons for online brands
When a mailer arrives at its destination crushed, it typically suggests a return or refund request, leaving online brands seeking packaging durable enough to remain whole from the delivery network.
What’s moreover, bespoke packaging transforms opening your order into a memorable unboxing experience!
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, occasionally, complimentary online advertising.
Preserving every reshuffling in uniformity
A reorder uses the same procedure as a first order, using the same named contact and proofing process, with board and ink sourced from the same suppliers as before.
The price per unit reduces as the order size rises, with those savings already included in the pricing rather than depending on a discount code you have to remember to enter.
This pricing model applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
Even when ordering again a matched item from another supplier, we perform the same proofing and quality checks required for a brand-new design.
Nothing is approved solely because it is intended to imitate something you already had.
Green procurement from our premier packaging facility
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, assisting in reducing plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate only for a shiny finish if it makes a box harder to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability statement need reviewing during a procurement audit, we would be glad to review it with you in person or by telephone.
How shifting or starting works
Please contact us and provide an general idea of what you need packed, your location in Caterham, the quantity required, and whether we should match an existing supplier.
Use our free samples service to ask for a sample when trialling new products or verifying quality before placing a larger order.
Sign off on the proof after our team has produced the artwork, checked it against any existing specification and confirmed the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery generally require two to three weeks, while most UK and Caterham addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
As required, reorder through the same named contact using the same specification held on file.

Call 01294 314 919 or email contact@custompackstudio.co.uk. If you are moving from another supplier, send us your current specification or a sample of the existing box, allowing us to quote directly against it rather than beginning with a blank page.
Beginning from the very start works just as well.
Let us know what you plan to pack and the quantity required, either by phone or by creating a design with our online tool before ordering. We will then send a swift written quotation, with no requirement to continue.
A specimen is free with a first order, and also on the day an current account transfers to us. In both cases, the person giving the quotation will still be managing your account two years from now.
Wherever your organisation is located in the UK, we deliver directly to Caterham from our Irvine factory.
