Whatever your packaging requirements, ranging from a single sample to a complete range of products for a continuing account, are managed by one factory and one dedicated team.
Your artwork stays safely with us, your colours retain their true appearance from the first order through the tenth, and we communicate clearly whenever a deadline allows little room for delay.
A one named contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The spec remains unchanged because the same person continues to be responsible.

How do modifications emerge when packing becomes an continuous supplier relationship with Durham
A first order mainly concerns the box itself: whether its dimensions are suitable, whether it prints effectively, and whether it is delivered punctually.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the start.
We manage board stock and ink mixing at our own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through each repeat order.
The person who prices your job also runs it on the press.
When a reorder requires clarification, they are the person you speak to directly, prepared with a genuine answer.
Why Durham businesses select our packaging options
Zero minimum order on any item.
We do not impose a minimum order requirement for anything we produce, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow the same process.
We don’t require a minimum order volume, and we never add an extra charge simply because your order is limited in size.
In turn, we develop alongside your Durham business.
Whenever you are prepared to develop your business or extend your product range, we will help you throughout every stage of your journey.
Sole dedicated contact, from query to final delivery
One designated contact oversees 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 not passed between departments, or forced to repeat the details of the job to a different person whenever you get in touch.
Numerous decades of internal manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, not new sources found for each incoming job.
Since we mix our own ink and keep board stock, colour matching doesn’t rely on a third party printer deciphering your brief.
The proof you approve is precisely what leaves the factory.
Despatch bespoke to your Durham operation
We supply across the country, wherever your business is based, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery service gathers every order from the same Irvine factory according to one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Durham.
Whether you require one box sent for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process oversees everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order grows.
Tailored designs created around your product
Some products do not fit within a standard box.
If yours has an unusual shape or challenging dimension, we create the structure to suit it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same approach, incorporated into the structure instead of being fitted afterwards.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a initial sample checks its fit and function.
If the die cut needs adjustment, we modify it and provide a second sample rather than making a batch that is not appropriate.
Packing products from Tailored Pack Studio
All packaging in our collection is made at our own facility, meaning that the finish agreed from a sample is identically the finish delivered for an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a sole product line or the accessories that complete an order, everything is produced on one production line.
Containers and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes work well for various retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers are placed.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it is opened at all.
High-quality board material and accurate die cutting are just as important here as the printing itself.
Cardboard letter packaging and dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to your product’s dimensions, cutting down on void fill and avoiding the damage an ill fitting box can cause in transit.
For larger or heavier products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts protect the contents within.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it well suited for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change monthly.
Wrapping options for your industry
Our premium packaging is carefully designed to protect products across a wide range of industries.
Meal packaging necessities
Our BRC Global Packaging certification covers the High Hygiene level. It is generally the initial assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging faces our strictest requirements, because safety during contact with the product is more important than the box’s appearance.
Top-tier division
When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product securely, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We develop packaging designs that suit your items, giving your brand a noticeably luxurious feel.
Mail boxes and online businesses
A damaged mailer often triggers a return or refund request, making hard-wearing packaging necessary for e commerce brands that require boxes to cope with the courier network and remain undamaged on arrival.
What’s in addition, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a a memorable unboxing experience!
Transforming an opportunity into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising!
Upholding each reshuffling in cohesion
Your reorder gets exactly the same treatment as your first order. That means the same named contact, identical proofing process, and board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
As your order grows, the per-unit price goes down, with the saving built into the pricing rather than depending on a discount code.
The same pricing applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder provided by another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as a completely new design.
Nothing is approved solely because it is created to imitate something you already had.
Green sourcing from our leading packaging site
Every box we create is 100% recyclable, assisting in reducing plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If a sustainability statement call for examination during a procurement audit, we would be happy to examine it with you in person or by telephone.
