Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee the entire process.
We retain your artwork files on file, make sure colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and advise you candidly when a deadline is particularly demanding.
From your initial sample to a reorder two years later, one dedicated contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification is unchanged because the same person continues at the helm.

What differences take place when packaging becomes an enduring supplier relationship with Cramlington
An first order largely relates to the box itself, including whether it fits, produces a good print, and arrives on schedule.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification again from the start.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through each reorder.
The team member preparing your quotation is also the one who manages your job on the press.
Should a reorder require clarification, they are the person to speak to directly for a straightforward, honest answer.
Why Cramlington-branded businesses opt for our packaging solutions
There is no minimum purchase on everything.
We impose no minimum order on any product we produce, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units go through the same procedures.
Whether the order is modest or considerable, we are happy to accept it, with no minimum order quantity required and no additional charge simply because it is modest.
In other words, we grow with your Cramlington enterprise.
When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will be right beside you throughout the entire course of your journey!
A single dedicated contact right from enquiry to delivery
One designated contact handles your account from your first enquiry to delivery, keeping a clear understanding of your specification when you are ready to place another order.
You are never transferred from one department to another, nor required to repeat the details of your job whenever you call.
Numerous generations of internal manufacturing
Since 1997, our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
Since we prepare our own ink and keep board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The factory produces exactly what is signed off on the proof.
Delivery tailored to your Cramlington enterprise
We ship nationwide to your organisation, whether you need a single sample or a full pallet.
In Cramlington, our delivery service adheres to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, whatever the order size or destination.
Whether a single box must be sent by courier for sign-off or several pallets need arranging around a launch date, one consistent logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Made-to-order layouts created for your product.
Some products simply do not sit into a regular box.
Where your item has an atypical shape or difficult dimension, we design the structure to fit it accurately. Components that need separating in transit are built into the structure, rather than added afterwards.
Our design team works with your real product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample verifies fit and function before any unit proceeds to full production.
Should the die cut require refinement, we revise it and supply a second sample rather than creating an unfit batch.
Enclosing goods by Tailor-made Pack Studio
Each item in our packaging range is made at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is the exact finish you receive when ordering five hundred.
Whether it is custom packaging for a sole product line or the accessories that complete an order, it is all produced on one production line.
Boxes and cases
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing provided across every panel to help ensure the branding in view regardless of how the container is oriented on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product before it is even opened.
Top quality board material and an accurate die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Cardboard postage mailers and despatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and reducing damage caused by a poorly fitting box in transit.
For bigger or bulkier 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 subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change monthly.
Packing designed to each industry
Our premium packaging is ideal for a wide range of products across many industries.
Cuisine packaging basics
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first aspect our food packaging customers ask about, whether they operate a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier expanding into retail.
Packaged products for food and drinks must meet the most demanding standards of every category we supply, because safety during product contact is more important than appearance.
Luxury grade industry
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity secures each product securely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the contents.
We assist you develop packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a premium feel.
Post lockers and online shopping labels
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it typically signals a return or refund request, leaving online brands needing packaging sturdy enough to emerge whole from the courier network.
Furthermore, bespoke packaging turns unboxing into a memorable experience.
Converting an opening into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising.
Maintaining each re-arrangement consistent
We handle every reorder as we would a first order, retaining the same named contact and proofing process, while obtaining the board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
The price per unit reduces as the order size rises, with those price reductions already included in the pricing rather than relying on a discount code you need to remember to use.
This pricing structure applies whether you need twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier receives the same proofing procedure and thorough quality checks as an entirely new design.
Nothing is approved without scrutiny simply because it is intended to resemble something you already owned.
Green procurement from our first-class packaging site
Every box we make is fully recyclable, supporting efforts to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t introduce laminate only for a shiny 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 face to face or by telephone.
