Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team manage everything.
We keep your artwork safely on file, match your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you straight away if a deadline appears challenging.
From your first sample to a reorder two years afterwards, one named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification is unchanged because the same person continues at the helm.
For a packaging supplier intended to grow alongside your business, call the helpful team at Custom Pack Studio today.
Which differences take place if packing transforms into an enduring supplier association
An first order largely involves the box itself, including whether it fits, produces a good print, and arrives as scheduled.
A supplier relationship shows its value on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification all over again.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, keeping colour and wall thickness uniform from your first order to every reorder.
The person who prices your job also prints it on the press.
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can talk to them directly and receive a straightforward answer.
Reasons Derby businesses go for our packaging offerings
No minimum requirement on any item
We do not impose minimum quantities per order on any products we make, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder are handled through exactly the same process.
We have no requirement for a minimum order volume, and we do not add an extra charge just because your order is limited in size.
This means our growth remains aligned with your Derby business.
As soon as you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will be alongside you throughout every step of your journey!
Sole identified liaison from enquiry to fulfilment
The same dedicated contact manages your account from first enquiry through to delivery, already being familiar with your specification when you are ready to order again.
You speak to one regular team, so you never have to repeat the job to a different person when you call.
Many eras of in-house manufacturing
From 1997, our parent business, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run printing presses in the UK.
That background shows the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are long-standing contacts built over decades, rather than sourced afresh for each job.
We mix our own ink and keep board stock ourselves, so colour matching is never reliant on a third-party printer interpreting your instructions.
What you approve in the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Shipment personalised around your Derby business
Wherever your business calls its base across the country, we deliver from one sample to a full pallet.
In Derby, our delivery service keeps to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, whatever the order size or destination.
Whether you need one box sent for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, one reliable logistics process manages everything, so delivery stays consistent as your order increases.
Personalised designs created to complement your item
A number of products simply do not fit into a regular box.
If yours has an atypical shape or challenging dimension, we build the structure to suit it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated in the same way, integrated into the structure instead of being added later.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, rather than a specification sheet alone. Before full production starts, a first sample confirms its fit and function.
If the die cut needs adjusting, we revise it and create a second sample instead of creating an unusable batch.
Wrapping items by Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging from our collection is made in our own factory, so that the finish selected from a sample is precisely the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a specific product line or the accessories that complete an order, it is all produced on one production line.
Crates and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for a broad range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to ensure your branding visible regardless of how the container is arranged on a shelf.
For jewellery and presents, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product before it is even opened.
The standard of the board material and accuracy of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Paperboard mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to suit your product’s dimensions, reducing void fill and preventing the damage a badly fitting box can cause in transit.
For heavier or larger items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.
Packing options for any industry
Our high-quality packaging is meticulously designed to protect products across a diverse range of industries.
Edible wrapping equipment
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, often serving as the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Across every category we supply, food and drink packaging demands the highest level of care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always come before the box’s appearance.
Prestige field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity holds products securely during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the contents.
We help you develop packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a high-end feel.
Shipping cartons for internet businesses
When a mailer arrives at its destination crushed, it often prompts a return or refund request, making sturdy packaging important for ecommerce brands navigating courier networks.
Furthermore, custom-made packaging transforms unboxing into a unforgettable experience.
Turning an opportunity into loyalty from customers and, occasionally, no-cost online advertising!
Sustaining all reorganisation continuously
We handle every reorder as we would a first order, keeping the same named contact and proofing process, while obtaining the board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
The cost per unit falls as the quantity ordered increases, with those savings already incorporated in the price rather than depending on a discount code you have to remember to enter.
That same pricing structure covers twenty boxes, a few thousand restocked within a quarter, and a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A repeat order from another supplier receives the same proofing procedure and thorough quality checks as an completely new design.
No item is accepted without examination merely because it is designed to imitate something you already had.
Responsible procurement from our top packaging centre
Every box we create is fully recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate just for a shiny finish if adding it makes a box more difficult to recycle, whilst reducing single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you either in person or by telephone.
How adjusting or commencing tasks
Please get in touch with us with an approximate outline of the items you need packed, where you are located in Derby, the quantity required, and whether an existing supplier needs to be matched.

Authorise the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, checked against any existing spec and verified pricing in writing.
