Regardless of your packaging requirements, from one sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee it all.
We retain your artwork on file, reproduce your colours on your tenth reorder just as on the first, and tell you honestly when a deadline is tight.
A one named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The specification remains consistent because the same person is still responsible.
For a packaging supplier designed to grow with your business, reach out to the welcoming team at Custom Pack Studio today.
Which differences come about when packing develops into an long-term distributor relationship
Once that initial order comes in, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it gets to you on time.
A supplier relationship is demonstrated on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without asking you to explain the specification once more from scratch.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness stay uniform from your first order through every reorder.
The person preparing your quote will as well handle your job on the press.
Questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a clear, honest answer.
Why Exeter businesses choose the packaging offerings
Absolutely no minimum purchase on all article
There is no minimum order for any item we produce, so a single sample or a reorder of five hundred units follows exactly the same process!
We do not require a minimum volume before taking on your work, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This means that our growth is aligned with your Exeter business.
When the time comes to grow your business or broaden your product range, our support will remain with you at every stage of the journey.
A single designated contact right from enquiry to delivery
Your dedicated contact supports your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, so they know your spec when you are ready to place another order.
You deal with one dedicated team, so you never have to repeat the job to a new person each time you call.
Years of inhouse production
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
This track record means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are established over many years partners, developed over decades rather than newly sourced for each individual job.
As we mix ink and keep our own board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The proof that you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.
Distribution shaped according to your Exeter enterprise
We supply across the country, wherever your business is located, whether you want one sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service collects from the same facility in Irvine following a regular schedule, irrespective of order size or location within Exeter.
Whether a lone box needs couriering for approval or multiple pallets must arrive for a launch date, one logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery remains steady as orders expand.
Bespoke plans crafted around your product
Some products do not sit within a standard box.
If yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimension, we create the structure to fit it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same approach, built into the structure instead of being attached at a later stage.
Our design department collaborates directly with your actual product rather than depending entirely on a spec sheet. The first sample checks fit and function before complete production starts.
If the die cut needs modification, we make the necessary changes and create a second sample instead of creating an unusable batch.
Packaging merchandise by Tailored Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our collection is produced at our own factory, meaning that the finish approved from a sample is precisely the finish provided for an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete every order, everything is made on a single production line.
Crates and crates
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit many retail and product packaging needs. Printing extends across every panel, ensuring the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it is even opened.
Premium quality board material and an precise die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Cardboard postal envelopes and freight packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s measurements, reducing surplus void fill and reducing the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause in transit.
When bulkier items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts carefully cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box increases in size to hold multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents vary each month.
Parceling adapted to your sector
Our top-quality packaging is well suited for a broad range of products and industries!
Food wrapping provisions
We hold High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, frequently the first detail food packaging customers ask about, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Packaging for food and beverages must meet the strictest standards of every category we supply, because safety during product contact is more important than appearance.
Upscale field
When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product safely, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We assist you in creating packaging that enhances your products and brings a luxurious feel to your brand.
Postal packages for online brands
A mailer arriving crushed often prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands require a box designed to withstand the courier network and reach its destination intact.
Furthermore, custom-made packaging transforms opening the package into a memorable unboxing experience.
Transforming an opening into loyal customers and, from time to time, complimentary online advertising.
Sustaining each reorganisation steadily
Your reorder is given 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 becomes larger, the per-unit price decreases, with the saving included in the pricing rather than depending on a discount code.
The same rates covers twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished over the course of a quarter, or a pallet secured for large-volume delivery.
Even a matched reorder from another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as those applied to an entirely new design.
Everything is evaluated independently, even when made to match something you previously owned.
Responsible procurement from our premier packaging centre
Each box we make is entirely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate only to create a glossy finish if this makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are phasing out single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should your sustainability claim need to withstand a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you in person or by phone.
How changing or initiating tasks
Contact us and share an general idea of what you need packed, your location in Exeter, the quantity required, and whether we should replicate an existing supplier.
Make use of our free samples service to request a sample when trialling new products or verifying quality before placing a larger order.

Manufacturing and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Exeter addresses get their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
