Regardless of your packaging requirements, ranging from an individual sample to a complete range of products for a ongoing account, are overseen by a single factory and one dedicated team.
Your artwork remains safely with us, your colours stay accurate from the first order through the tenth, and we communicate clearly whenever a deadline leaves little room to spare.
A named contact oversees your enquiry, manufacturing and dispatch, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. Because they remain part of the process, the specification stays consistent.
For a packaging supplier created to expand with your business, contact the welcoming team at Custom Pack Studio today.
What shifts when wrapping is transformed into an enduring provider collaboration?
A first order mainly assesses the box itself: whether it fits, prints accurately and arrives as scheduled.
A reliable supplier relationship proves itself on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification all over again.
Because we handle board stock and ink mixing inside our own factory, your colour and wall thickness remain consistent from the first order through every reorder that follows.
The person who produces your quotation likewise manages its production on the press.
Should a repeat order need clarification, they are the person to speak to directly for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Why Darlington-based businesses turn to our packing solutions
Absolutely no minimum quantity required on all item
We do not require a 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 need a minimum volume to accept your job, and small orders never incur an additional charge.
This means we grow alongside your Darlington business.
When the time comes to expand your business or broaden your product range, our support will remain with you at every stage of the journey.
Just one specific liaison from question to completion
One assigned contact oversees your account from enquiry to delivery and knows your specification when you are next ready to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments, or forced to repeat the details of the job to a new person whenever you call.
Several years of on-site manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our main company, has managed printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, not new sources identified for each incoming job.
Since we mix our own ink and maintain board stock, colour matching doesn’t rely on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The version signed off on the proof is exactly what leaves the plant.
Supply designed around your Darlington enterprise
Wherever your business is located in the country, we deliver everything from one sample to a full pallet!
Each consignment is collected from the same Irvine factory according to a single consistent schedule, whatever the order size or delivery destination in Darlington.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, one consistent logistics process oversees everything, so delivery stays consistent as your order expands.
Bespoke layouts made to fit your item
Certain products do not fit within a standard box.
When yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimensions, we design the structure to fit around it. Components that require separation during transit are given the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added later.
Our design department uses your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An early sample verifies fit and function before any unit goes into full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we amend it and send a second sample rather than creating a batch that is unsuitable.
Wrapping merchandise from Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging in our collection is manufactured at our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on your sample is the same as that supplied in an order of five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is made on a one production line.
Packages and carton boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit varied retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding remains visible wherever containers are positioned.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does a lot of the selling before it is opened at all.
The standard of the board material and the precision of the die cut are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard postal packs and postage packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, reducing the need for void fill and limiting damage resulting from a poorly fitting box during transit.
For larger or heavier products, we manufacture corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts protect the contents inside.
A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in a single order, making it a suitable choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Containers designed to each sector
Our premium packaging is created to accommodate a broad selection of products across many industries.
Food packing items
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers require, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Of all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the greatest care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always take priority over the box’s appearance.
Elite 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 reflect what lies within.
We assist you in developing packaging that enhances your items, creating a premium feel for your company.
Postal boxes for online labels
When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it often leads to a return or refund request, making sturdy packaging essential for ecommerce brands managing courier networks.
Furthermore, bespoke packaging delivers a remarkable unboxing experience.
Turning an opportunity into customer loyalty and, sometimes, complimentary online advertising!
Ensuring each reordering consistent
A repeat order follows the same procedure as a initial order, using the same designated contact and proofing process, with board and ink obtained from the same suppliers as before.
Higher-volume orders bring down the unit cost, with the saving built into the stated price instead of requiring a discount code to be applied.
That same pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished within a quarter, and a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder supplied by a different supplier is put through identical proofing and quality checks as a completely new design.
No article passes inspection merely because it resembles something you currently own.
Green procurement from our leading packaging site
Every box we produce is fully recyclable, helping to limit plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate purely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability statement need scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you either face to face or by telephone.
