From a single sample to a full range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one dedicated team bring everything together.
We retain 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 looks tight.
A one named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person continues to be responsible.

How packaging changes when it develops into a enduring provider alliance
An initial order primarily concerns the box itself: whether its dimensions are suitable, whether it prints effectively, and whether it is delivered punctually.
A solid supplier relationship shows its value on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification from scratch.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your initial order through each repeat order.
The individual quoting your job runs it on the press too!
If a reorder needs further explanation, they are the person to contact directly for a genuine answer.
The Reason Eastbourne businesses prefer Our packing services
Without any minimum quantity on all products.
We do not impose a minimum order for all items we produce, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder are handled through the same process.
We do not require a minimum volume to accept your job, and small orders never attract an additional charge.
This means that our growth is consistent with your Eastbourne business.
Once you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will guide you throughout your journey.
A dedicated dedicated contact, from request to fulfilment
A single dedicated contact stays with your account from your first enquiry to delivery, so your specification is already familiar when you are ready to reorder.
You are never passed from one department to another, nor left repeating the details of your job each time you call.
Years of internal production
Our main company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are reliable partners nurtured over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
As we prepare the ink and keep our own board stock, your colour match is not dependent on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.
What you approve in the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Distribution tailored to the Eastbourne business
We deliver nationwide, wherever your business is situated, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
Each order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory under one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Eastbourne.
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.
Custom Layouts Developed Around Your Goods
Some products do not fit inside a standard box.
Where yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimensions, we build the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same thoughtful approach, with their protection built into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Our team of designers collaborates directly with your actual product rather than using only a spec sheet. The first sample assesses fit and function before production gets under way.
If the die cut needs adjustment, we amend it and provide a second sample rather than producing a batch that is not appropriate.
Packaging goods from Custom Pack Studio
All packaging within our collection is produced in our own factory, meaning the finish approved on the basis of a sample is exactly the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete every order, everything is produced on a single production line.
Packages and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes can hold varied retail and product packaging, with printing added to every panel to ensure the branding visible regardless of how the container is placed on a shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it has even been opened.
Here, quality board and an exact die cut are just as important as the printing itself.
Cardboard postage mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to fit your product’s exact dimensions, cutting down on void fill and preventing the damage that an poorly fitting box may cause during delivery.
For heavier items, we make corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts protect whatever is placed inside.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it appropriate for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents change each month.
Packing customised to the area
Our high-quality packaging is developed to serve a wide variety of products across various industries.
Cuisine wrapping components
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is usually the first assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Packaged products for food and drinks must meet the highest standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety comes before appearance.
Luxury industry
For cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam recess keeps items secure during transit, while options including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We assist you in creating packaging that enhances your products, bringing a luxurious feel for your company.
Letter box alongside e-commerce companies
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it often leads to a request for a return or refund, making robust packaging necessary for ecommerce brands navigating courier networks.
What is more, customised packaging provides a lasting unboxing experience.
Transforming an opportunity into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising!
Keeping every rearrangement homogeneous
When a reorder arrives, we process it as a first order, keeping the same named contact, following the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
As your order increases, the unit cost decreases, with savings built into the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
The same pricing model applies to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, and even a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
Even when ordering again a matched item from a different supplier, we perform the same proofing and quality checks needed for a completely new design.
Nothing is accepted just because it resembles something you already possessed.
Sustainable procurement from our foremost packaging facility
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle. We are also cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If you require a sustainability claim to stand up to procurement audit scrutiny, we would be delighted to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
How changing or starting functions
Please contact us with a summary of what you need packed, your location in Eastbourne, the number required, and whether we should replicate an existing supplier.
If you are evaluating new products or would like to evaluate their quality before placing a complete order, you can ask for a sample via our complimentary samples service.
Sign off on the proof after our team has produced the artwork, checked it against any existing specification and confirmed the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery normally take two to three weeks, while most UK and Eastbourne addresses receive their orders within one to two working days following dispatch.
Reorder whenever you need, using the same named contact and specification on file already!

Find your right packaging solution with Custom Pack Studio today.
Call 01294 314 919 or email contact@custompackstudio.co.uk. If you are moving from another supplier, send us your current specification or a sample of the existing box, allowing us to quote directly against it rather than begin from scratch.
Beginning afresh can be every bit as effective.
Provide an approximate description of your packing needs and required quantity by telephone, or begin the design process with our online design tool before ordering. We will quickly provide a written quotation, with no requirement to proceed.
Your first order comes with a free sample, as does the day an existing account transfers to us. In both cases, the person providing the quote will continue to manage your account in two years’ time.
From our Irvine plant, we ship directly across the UK to Eastbourne, wherever your business calls home.
