From a single sample to a full packaging range for a continuing account, one factory and team handle every requirement.
We hold your artwork in our records, match your colours on your tenth reorder as we did on the first, and tell you honestly when a deadline is tight.
A single named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person remains responsible.

How do alterations take place when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Folkestone
A first order is chiefly about the box itself: whether its dimensions are suitable, whether it prints effectively, and whether it is delivered punctually.
A trading relationship demonstrates its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification from scratch.
Because we handle board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, your colour and wall thickness remain consistent from the initial order through every reorder that follows.
The person who produces your quotation also oversees its production on the press.
Any questions about a reorder go directly to them for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Why Folkestone-led firms opt for the packaging offerings
No minimum spend on any item.
We do not impose a minimum order for all items we produce, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through the same process.
We have no requirement for a minimum order volume, and we do not add an extra charge solely because your order is small.
This indicates that our growth is in line with your Folkestone business.
When you are ready to expand your business or extend your product range, we will stand beside you at each stage of the process.
A sole named contact from enquiry to delivery
The same person continues handling your account from your initial enquiry through to delivery, already familiar with your specifications when it is time to reorder.
You are never passed from one department to another, nor made to repeat the details of your job each time you call.
Decades of internal fabrication
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has been operating 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.
As we blend ink and maintain our own board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
Whatever you approve on the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Distribution personalised to the needs of your Folkestone organisation
We ship nationwide, wherever your business is located, from a one sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same facility in Irvine following a set schedule, irrespective of the size of the order or destination within Folkestone.
Whether you require a one box provided for approval or several pallets scheduled for a launch date, the same logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery continues in the same way as the order grows.
Custom designs developed to suit your offering
Some products do not fit inside a standard box.
If yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimension, we build the structure to accommodate it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated in the same way, incorporated into the structure instead of being added later.
Our design specialists assess your physical product rather than using only specifications. An initial sample checks fit and operation before any unit moves into full production.
If the die cut needs adjusting, we adjust it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that is unsuccessful.
Packing goods from Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is manufactured at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
All items from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is made on one production line.
Packages and boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes accommodate varied retail and product packaging, with printing provided across every panel to ensure the branding visible regardless of how the container is positioned 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, good-quality board and an exact die cut are just as important as the printing itself.
Corrugated delivery packs and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are created to fit your product, rather than a uniform size, cutting down on wasted space and damage caused in transit by a ill-fitting box.
For larger or bulkier items, we manufacture full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help keep everything inside safely cushioned.
A gusseted box expands to hold several items in one order, making it well suited for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents differ each month.
Packing services for any industry
Our premium packaging is designed to support a broad selection of products across many industries.
Food packaging solutions
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first aspect our food packaging customers ask about, whether they run a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging faces our strictest requirements, because product-contact safety takes priority over the box’s appearance.
Luxury industry
For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity keeps products safe in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the contents.
We help create packaging that complements your items and provides your brand a high-end feel.
Parcel boxes for digital companies
A damaged mailer can spark a request for a return or refund, so online brands need a box tough enough to travel through the delivery network undamaged.
Additionally, bespoke packaging makes the opening of your order memorable.
Transforming an opening into loyal customers and, from time to time, complimentary online advertising.
Keeping all reordering consistent
We handle every reorder in the same way as a first order, using the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as previously.
As your order gets larger, the unit cost decreases, with savings built into the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
That same pricing structure covers twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished within a quarter, and a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier undergoes the same proofing procedure and thorough quality checks as an completely new design.
No item is accepted without careful review merely because it is intended to imitate something you already possessed.
Sustainable procurement from our foremost packaging plant
Every box we manufacture is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will refrain from adding laminate just for a shiny finish if adding it makes a box more difficult to recycle, as we reduce single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability statement call for examination during a procurement audit, we would be happy to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.
How switching or commencing works
Get in touch with us with an outline of what you need packed, your area in Folkestone, the quantity needed, and whether we should replicate an existing supplier.
Order a sample through our free samples service when testing new products or reviewing quality before placing a full order.
Approve the proof after our team prepares the artwork, aligns with any existing spec and confirms pricing in writing.
Production and delivery typically take two to three weeks, while most UK and Folkestone addresses get their deliveries within one to two working days after dispatch.
When necessary, place another order through the same named contact, using the specification already held on file.
