Which shifts take place when packaging turns into an long-term vendor connection
A first order mainly concerns the box itself: whether its dimensions are suitable, whether it prints effectively, and whether it is delivered punctually.
A solid supplier relationship demonstrates its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification from scratch.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness stay uniform from your first order to every reorder.
The person quoting your job operates it on the press too!
Should a reorder require further explanation, they are the person to speak to directly for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Why Chorley-branded businesses opt for our packaging solutions
Zero minimum purchase on all item
We have no a minimum order for all items we produce, so a single sample and a reorder of five hundred units go through the same process.
We do not require a minimum volume to take on your job, and small orders never incur an additional charge.
This means that our progress is aligned with your Chorley business.
When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will be right beside you throughout every step of your journey!
Sole dedicated contact, from question to completion
One dedicated contact oversees your account from enquiry right through to delivery and understands your requirements when you are ready to reorder.
You speak to one dedicated team, so you are not required to explain the job again to a different person when you call.
Years of domestic production
Our wider company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK from 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, not new sources identified for each incoming job.
As we ready the ink and maintain our own board stock, your colour match is not dependent on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.
The factory makes precisely what is shown on the approved proof.
Delivery tailored around your Chorley operation
We deliver nationwide to your company, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery operation picks up from the same factory in Irvine on a set schedule, regardless of order size or delivery destination in Chorley.
Whether you want a one box sent for approval or multiple pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process covers both, so that delivery stays consistent as the order increases.
Customised creations created to fit your offering
Not every product is suited to a regular box.
Where your item has an atypical shape or difficult dimension, we create the structure to fit it exactly. Components needing to be separated in transit are built into the structure, rather than added subsequently.
Your actual product is where our design story begins, rather than a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a first sample confirms its fit and function.
If the die cut needs refinement, we revise it and provide another sample instead of producing a batch that fails to work.
Packing items from Custom Packaging Studio
Each item in our packaging range is produced at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is exactly what you receive when ordering five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for a single product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is manufactured on a single production line.
Crates and carton boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for a diverse range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to ensure your branding visible regardless of how the container is arranged on a shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is even opened.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Corrugated packaging sleeves and postal 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 during transit.
For bulkier or heavier items, we make full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts keep the contents safely cushioned inside.
A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle whose contents differ each month.
Packing solutions for the industry
Our top-quality packaging is created to accommodate a wide variety of products across numerous industries.
Food packaging supplies
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, often serving as the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging is governed by the strictest requirements of every category we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s look.
Premium sector
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 assist you create packaging that suits your items and gives your brand a premium feel.
Post parcels and online business names
When a mailer arrives at its destination crushed, it typically suggests a return or refund request, leaving online brands seeking packaging durable enough to emerge whole from the delivery network.
Additionally, tailored packaging delivers a remarkable unboxing experience.
Converting an opening into loyal customers and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Preserving each reshuffling steadily
We process every 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.
Higher-volume orders bring down the unit cost, with the saving included in the stated price instead of requiring a discount code to be applied.
The same pricing structure covers twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, and even a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
Even when ordering again a matched item from a different supplier, we carry out the same proofing and quality checks required for a completely new design.
Each item is assessed separately, even when made to resemble something you owned before.
Green procurement from our top packaging site
Every box we manufacture is fully recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely to create a glossy finish if this makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are discontinuing single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability statement call for examination during a procurement audit, we would be happy to examine it with you in person or by telephone.
