Regardless of your packaging requirements, from one sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, are handled by one factory and one dedicated team.
We retain your artwork files on file, ensure colour matching remains consistent from the first order through to the tenth, and tell you frankly when a deadline is especially tight.
A single 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 remains responsible.

How do changes take place when packaging becomes a ongoing vendor alliance involving Formby?
A first order primarily tests the box itself: whether it is the right fit, prints accurately and arrives as scheduled.
A solid supplier relationship proves itself on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification from scratch.
Because we manage board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, your colour and wall thickness stay consistent from the first order through every reorder that follows.
The person who puts together your quotation also manages its production on the press.
Any questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Here’s Why Formby businesses select Our packing solutions
No minimum purchase on any item.
We do not impose a minimum order requirement for anything we produce, so the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We do not require a minimum quantity before taking on your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This means, we grow with your Formby business.
When the time comes to expand your business or extend your product range, our support will be there for you at every stage of the journey.
A dedicated dedicated contact, from query to final delivery
One dedicated contact remains with your account from your first enquiry to delivery, so your order details is already familiar when you are prepared to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or asked to go over the job again to someone new whenever you call.
Countless eras of on-premises manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our main company, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
This longstanding history helps ensure that the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are reliable relationships built over decades, rather than found afresh for each individual job.
Since we produce our own ink and maintain board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The edition approved on the proof is exactly what leaves the plant.
Supply designed with your Formby business
No matter where your business is located in the country, we send out everything from one sample to a complete pallet!
Each consignment is picked up from the same Irvine factory according to the same regular schedule, whatever the size of the order or delivery destination in Formby.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, the same logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery stays unchanged as the order grows.
Individually Crafted Layouts Built Centred on Your Product
Some products do not fit inside a standard box.
If yours has an irregular shape or unusual dimension, we build the structure to accommodate it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same approach, incorporated into the structure instead of being fitted afterwards.
Our design experts evaluate your physical product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An first sample verifies fit and performance before any item enters full production.
If the die cut requires refinement, we revise it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that is unsuccessful.
Wrapping products from Tailored Pack Studio
All packaging from our collection is manufactured in our own factory, so that the finish approved from a sample is identical to the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete every order, everything is made on a one production line.
Crates and parcels
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for varied retail and product packaging, with printing provided across every panel to ensure the branding visible regardless of how the container is placed on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is even revealed!
Top quality board material and an precise die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Paperboard mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your product’s exact dimensions, cutting down on void fill and preventing the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transport.
For bigger or heavier items, we make corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts give cushioning for the items inside.
A gusseted box increases in capacity to fit multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.
Packing options for the industry
Our quality packaging is suitable for a wide range of products across various industries.
Meal packaging supplies
We hold High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, often the first aspect food packaging customers ask about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Of every category we provide, food and drink packaging is governed by the most rigorous requirements, as maintaining safe contact with the product takes priority over the box’s appearance.
High-end sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam recess keeps items from moving in transit, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We assist with designing packaging that complements your items and provides your brand a high-end feel.
Mail boxes and e-commerce names
When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it often prompts a return or refund request, making sturdy packaging necessary for ecommerce brands operating across courier networks.
Additionally, customised packaging creates a lasting unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, on occasion, free online advertising.
Maintaining each reordering steady
We process each reorder precisely as we do a first order, using the same named contact, identical proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used before.
As your order grows, the per-unit price decreases, with the saving included in the pricing rather than depending on a discount code.
This pricing model applies in the same way to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder procured from another supplier undergoes the same proofing and quality checks as a new design.
Nothing passes merely because it is similar to something you already had.
Environmentally friendly sourcing from our first-class packaging location
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, assisting in reducing plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy 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 claim needs to withstand a procurement audit, we are pleased to discuss it in person or by telephone.
How altering or commencing works
get in touch with us with an estimated description of what you need to pack, your whereabouts in Formby, the required quantity, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
If you are considering new products or want to assess their quality before placing a full order, you can ask for a sample through our complimentary samples service.
Give approval for the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, matched it to any existing specification and confirmed the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery usually take two to three weeks. The majority of UK and Formby addresses get their orders within one to two working days of dispatch.
Place a repeat order when necessary through the same named contact, using the specification held on file.
