Regardless of your packaging requirements, from one sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team handle everything.
We retain 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 handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The specification remains consistent because the same person is still responsible.
For a packaging supplier designed to grow in step with your business, call the welcoming team at Custom Pack Studio today.
Which shifts when packaging evolves into an ongoing vendor partnership?
When that initial order arrives, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it gets to you on time.
A relationship with a supplier shows its worth on the sixth order, when an matching product calls for matching colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification from the beginning.
By managing board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, we ensure that colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every subsequent reorder.
The individual who produces your quotation also manages its production on the press.
If any aspect of a reorder requires clarification, you can contact them directly and receive a honest answer.
Why Congleton-based businesses select our packing solutions
Zero minimum requirement on any item
We do not impose a minimum order for anything we produce, meaning a single sample and a five-hundred-unit reorder follow the same process.
We do not require a minimum volume before accepting your work, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because the order is small.
As a result, we develop alongside your Congleton enterprise.
Whenever you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will be right beside you throughout the entire course of your journey!
One sole designated contact from enquiry through to delivery
A single dedicated contact handles your account from your first enquiry to delivery, maintaining a clear understanding of your specification when you are prepared to place another order.
You are never transferred between departments or asked to explain the job again to someone new each time you call.
Generations of internal production
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has operated printing presses in the UK since 1997.
This background means that the board and ink suppliers involved with your order are established relationships cultivated over decades, rather than found afresh for each new job.
We mix our own ink and keep board stock ourselves, so colour matching never depends on a third-party printer understanding your instructions.
The version approved on the proof is precisely what leaves the plant.
Delivery customised to your Congleton company
We supply across the country, wherever your business is situated, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Each order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory under one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Congleton.
Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one uniform logistics process manages everything, so delivery remains unchanged as your order expands.
Custom styles tailored around your product.
A few products do not fit within a conventional box.
If your item has an unusual shape or awkward dimension, we engineer the structure to fit it exactly. Components requiring separation for transit are incorporated into the structure, rather than added afterwards.
Our design department works with your real product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An initial sample verifies fit and function before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut needs adjusting, we update it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that is unsuccessful.
Enclosing products by Tailor-made Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is produced at our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a specific product line or the accessories that finish an order, everything is produced on one production line.
Containers and cartages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes accommodate a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing added to every panel to help ensure the branding in view regardless of how the container is placed on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid starts selling the product before it is even opened.
The standard of the board material and accuracy of the die cutting are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard mailers & shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, reducing 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 within.
A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents vary each month.
Wrapping adapted to the sector
Our top-quality packaging is developed to serve a diverse range of products across many industries.
Catering wrapping materials
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, frequently being the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from independent 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 visual appeal.
Elite level industry
For jewellery, a tailored insert or foam recess limits movement during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We create packaging that showcases your items and provides your brand a premium feel.
Mail boxes and e-commerce names
A squashed mailer can lead to a request for a return or refund, so e commerce businesses need a box durable enough to make its way through the courier network in one piece.
Additionally, bespoke packaging provides a remarkable unboxing experience.
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising!
Keeping every reshuffle uniform
When a reorder arrives, we treat it as a first order, retaining the same named contact, following the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the previously used suppliers.
As your order becomes larger, the reduced unit cost is included directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to keep in mind.
This pricing structure covers equally twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder sourced from another supplier undergoes identical proofing and quality checks as a new design.
Nothing gets automatic approval merely because it resembles something you already had!
Eco-friendly sourcing from our premier packaging location
Each box we produce is entirely recyclable, helping to limit plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add 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.
Should a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.
