From a single sample to a full range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one committed team handle everything in one place.
We retain your artwork in our records, match colours on your tenth reorder as accurately as on the first, and be straightforward when time is short.
One designated contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a reorder two years later. Your spec stays the same because the same person handles all aspects.

What alterations happen as packing evolves into an ongoing supplier collaboration
A first order largely evaluates the box itself: whether it is the right fit, prints accurately and arrives on time.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the beginning.
Because we handle 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 providing a quote for your job runs it on the press too!
When a reorder needs clarification, they are the person to contact directly for a straightforward answer.
Why Clifton businesses choose Our packing solutions
There is no minimum spend on every item
We impose no minimum order on any product we produce, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units are handled using identical procedures.
We do not require a minimum volume before accepting your job, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because your order is limited.
This means our growth stays aligned with your Clifton business.
When the time arrives to develop your business or product line, we will assist you every step of the way.
One sole assigned contact from enquiry until delivery
The same dedicated contact handles your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, already knowing your specification when you are ready to order again.
You speak to one consistent team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a new person whenever you call.
Decades of internal manufacturing
From 1997, our parent business, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run printing presses in the UK.
That history means the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than found anew for each job.
As we mix ink and keep our own board stock, colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The proof that you approve is precisely what leaves the factory.
Shipping shaped in line with your Clifton company
We ship nationwide, wherever your business is based, from a one sample to a full pallet.
Each order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory under one schedule, irrespective of its size or destination in Clifton.
Whether you need a single box sent for approval or multiple pallets arranged for a launch date, the same logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery continues in the same way as the order grows.
Tailored designs crafted to complement your item
Not each product is well suited to a standard box.
Where yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimensions, we build the structure around it. Components needing separation during transit receive the same careful approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Our design team evaluates your actual product rather than using only a specification sheet. An initial sample verifies fit and function before production in full begins.
If the die cut needs modification, we revise it and send a second sample instead of making an unusable batch.
Boxing items from Custom Pack Atelier
Every item of packaging in our range is produced within our own factory, meaning that the finish approved on your sample is precisely the finish delivered with an order of five hundred.
All items from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is produced on one production line.
Containers and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes meet many retail and product packaging needs. Printing covers every panel, ensuring the branding remains visible whatever way the container sits on a shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid can begin selling the product prior to being opened.
Top quality board material and an exact die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Corrugated postal envelopes and despatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, reducing the need for void fill and reducing damage resulting from a poorly fitting box in transit.
For heavier 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 increases in capacity to fit multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that differ each month.
Wrapping adapted to the business area
Our premium packaging is carefully designed to accommodate products across a diverse range of industries.
Meal packing items
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is typically the first requirement food packaging customers ask about, from smaller bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Of every category we provide, food and drink packaging is governed by the most demanding requirements, as maintaining safe contact with the product takes priority over the box’s appearance.
Luxury sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess helps prevent movement while in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the product within.
We design packaging that showcases your items and adds your brand a luxurious feel.
Postal parcels and internet brands
A squashed mailer often results in a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box built to get through the courier network intact.
Custom packaging also provides a lasting unboxing experience.
Transforming an opportunity into customer loyalty and, occasionally, no-cost online advertising!
Keeping every reorder uniform
We process every reorder in the same way as a first order, using the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as before.
As your order increases in size, the lower unit cost is shown directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to enter.
This pricing model covers equally twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier undergoes the same proofing process and rigorous quality checks as an completely new design.
Nothing is approved solely because it is intended to look like something you already had.
Eco-friendly sourcing from our first-class packaging site
Each box we manufacture is completely recyclable, helping to minimise both plastic waste and waste sent to landfill.
We won’t introduce laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box harder to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to stand up to procurement audit scrutiny, we would be delighted to talk it through with you face to face or by telephone.
How switching or starting functions
Contact us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, your whereabouts in Clifton, the required quantity, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
If you are considering new products or simply would like to evaluate their quality before making a full order, request a sample through our free samples service.
Sign off on the proof after our team produces the artwork, matches any existing spec and confirms pricing in writing.
Manufacturing and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Clifton addresses get their orders within one to two working days following dispatch.
Whenever required, place another order through the same named contact, using the specification already held on file.

Beginning anew works equally well!

Your first order comes with a complimentary sample, as does the day an existing account moves across to us. In each instance, the person preparing the quote will still manage your account in two years’ time.
We ship throughout the UK straight to Clifton from the same Irvine factory, wherever your business is located.
