Sustainable Packaging for Small Businesses
Packaging Supplier Clacton-on-Sea

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

We hold on to your artwork, replicate your colours as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and speak honestly to you when a deadline is demanding.

One sole contact handles your query, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The specification stays consistent because the same person handles everything!

In need of a packaging supplier designed to grow alongside your business? Call the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio today!

What alterations happen when wrapping transforms into an sustained provider relationship

An initial run largely involves the box itself, including whether it is the right fit, produces a good print, and arrives as scheduled.

A supplier relationship shows its worth on the sixth order, when an identical product calls for matching colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification from the beginning.

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

The individual who puts together your quotation also oversees its production on the press.

If any aspect of a reorder requires clarification, you can talk to them directly and get a genuine answer.

Why Clacton-on-Sea-led companies choose our packaging options

Absolutely no minimum order on any item

There is no minimum order requirement for anything we produce, so a single sample or a repeat order of five hundred units follows exactly the same process!

We have no minimum volume requirement, and a small order will not attract an additional charge.

This indicates that our development is consistent with your Clacton-on-Sea business.

When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will be right beside you throughout the entire course of your journey!

Just one exclusive contact, from initial request to completion

The same dedicated personal contact looks after your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, already being familiar with your specification when you are ready to order again.

You are not passed around between departments or asked to explain the job again to someone new whenever you call.

Years of domestic manufacturing

Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK from 1997.

That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are reliable partners nurtured over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.

We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching does not depend on a third party printer interpreting your brief.

What you approve on the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!

Delivery tailored to the Clacton-on-Sea company

We deliver nationwide, wherever your business is situated, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.

Our delivery service collects each order from the same Irvine factory according to the same schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Clacton-on-Sea.

Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one uniform logistics process handles everything, so delivery remains unchanged as your order expands.

Personalised designs created to suit your product

Some products do not fit within a standard box.

Where yours has an atypical shape or unusual dimensions, we design the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit are given the same careful approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than added afterwards.

Our design experts assess your physical product rather than relying solely on specifications. An first sample verifies fit and operation before any unit proceeds to full production.

If the die cut requires adjustment, we adjust it and send a second sample instead of making an unusable batch.

Luminae Packaging - Custom Pack Studio

Wrapping items from Custom Pack Atelier

Every item in our packaging range is manufactured at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is precisely what you receive when ordering five hundred.

Everything from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is made on one production line.

Cases and packages

Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit various retail and product packaging, with each panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers are positioned.

For jewellery and gift-giving, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is opened at all.

The quality of the board material and accuracy of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.

Corrugated postal packets and delivery packaging

Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your product’s exact dimensions, minimising void fill and avoiding the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause 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 expands to fit multiple items in one order, making it particularly suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.

Wrapping answers for your own industry

Our high-quality packaging is thoughtfully designed to accommodate products across a diverse range of industries.

Meal wrapping substances

We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the initial point our food packaging customers want to know about, whether they operate a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier expanding into retail.

Food and drink packaging meets our strictest requirements, because product-contact safety is more important than the box’s appearance.

Premium end industry

For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the product within.

We help create packaging that complements your items and provides your brand a premium feel.

Mail boxes for internet brands

A squashed mailer can lead to a return or refund request, so e commerce brands need a box strong enough to pass through the courier network in one piece.

What’s more, bespoke packaging transforms opening your order into a remarkable unboxing experience!

Converting an opening into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising.

Preserving every reorder in uniformity

When a reorder comes in, we treat it as a first order, maintaining the same named contact, following the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the suppliers used previously.

As order quantities increase, the price per unit falls, with the savings already reflected in the pricing, leaving no discount code to remember.

This pricing structure applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.

A matching reorder supplied by another supplier undergoes the same proofing and quality checks as a entirely new design.

Nothing is approved without examination merely because it is intended to look like something you already owned.

Sustainable sourcing from our leading packaging plant

Every box we make is completely recyclable, helping to reduce both plastic waste and waste sent to landfill.

We won’t add laminate only for a glossy 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 must withstand a procurement audit, we are pleased to talk it through in person or by telephone.

How changing versus starting performs

Contact us with a summary of what you need packed, your location in Clacton-on-Sea, the quantity needed, and whether we should replicate an existing supplier.

Request a sample through our free samples service when testing new products or assessing quality before committing with a full order.

Approve the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, checked it against any existing specification and confirmed the pricing in writing.

Production and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Clacton-on-Sea addresses receive deliveries within one to two working days following dispatch.

If necessary, reorder via your usual named contact using the specification already on file.

Beginning afresh is just as successful.

Tell us what you are packing and the amount required over the phone, or begin a design using our online design tool before placing your order. We will send a timely written quote, with no obligation to continue.

Your initial order includes a no-cost sample, and so does the day an existing account transfers to us. Regardless of which route you choose, the person preparing your quotation will still be managing your account two years from now.

Regardless of your business location, we ship throughout the UK directly to Clacton-on-Sea from our Irvine factory.
