Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee the entire process.
We retain your artwork on file, match colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and communicate clearly when time is short.
A the same named contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person continues to be responsible.
For a packaging supplier created to grow with your business, reach out to the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio today.
What shifts when wrapping evolves into an sustained supplier collaboration?
An early order largely involves the box itself, including whether it fits, prints clearly, and is delivered on time.
A supplier relationship gains trust by order six, when an identical product needs the same colour and fit, without needing the specification again.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through each reorder.
The professional quoting your job also runs it on the press.
If a reorder requires clarification, they are the person to speak to directly for a genuine answer.
Why Gateshead-based companies select our packaging offerings
Absolutely no minimum purchase on all item
There’s no minimum order for anything we produce, so a single sample or a repeat order of five hundred units goes through exactly the same process!
Whether the order is limited or large, we are prepared to handle it, with no minimum volume required and no added cost simply because it is small.
This means we grow together with your Gateshead business.
When the time comes to grow your business or broaden your product range, we will support you at each stage of the journey.
Single assigned contact, beginning with enquiry through to delivery
A single dedicated contact stays with your account from the initial enquiry to delivery, so your requirements is already known when you are ready to place another order.
You are never transferred between departments or required to explain the job again to a new member of the team whenever you call.
Generations of internal manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our main company, has operated printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That tradition means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order reflect relationships built over decades, rather than sources newly found for each distinct commission.
We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching does not depend on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The proof you approve is precisely what leaves the factory.
Shipping crafted to suit your Gateshead enterprise
We ship across the country, wherever your business is based, from a one sample to a full pallet.
Each order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory under one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Gateshead.
Whether you need one box sent for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one consistent logistics process handles everything, so delivery stays consistent as your order expands.
Bespoke plans developed to suit your offering
Certain products fall outside the dimensions of a typical box.
When yours has an uncommon shape or awkward dimensions, we engineer the structure to accommodate it. Components that require separation during transit are given the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added afterwards.
Our design professionals assess your physical product rather than depending entirely on specifications. An early sample checks fit and operation before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut requires refinement, we update it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that is unsuccessful.
Boxing merchandise from Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is made at our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
Everything from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is made on one production line.
Boxes and parcels
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for different retail and product packaging, with each panel printed so branding remains visible wherever containers are placed.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid handles much of the selling before it is even opened.
Top quality board material and an precise die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Paperboard post envelopes and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to suit your product’s dimensions, helping to reduce void fill and helping to prevent the damage a badly fitting box can cause during transit.
For larger or heavier products, we manufacture corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, whilst printed inserts safeguard the contents within.
A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents vary each month.
Packaging customised to your field
Our high-quality packaging is thoughtfully designed to support products across a diverse range of industries.
Grocery packaging materials
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the initial point our food packaging customers ask about, whether they run a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging faces our highest requirements, because product-contact safety takes priority over the box’s appearance.
Luxury market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity secures each product firmly during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the contents.
We create packaging designs that enhance your products, providing your brand a noticeably luxurious feel.
Postal parcels for online stores
A crushed mailer often prompts a request for a return or refund, so e-commerce brands require a box designed to withstand the courier network and reach its destination intact.
What is more, bespoke packaging provides a lasting unboxing experience.
Transforming an opportunity into loyalty from customers and, sometimes, no-cost online advertising!
Preserving all rearrangement constantly
A reorder follows the same procedure as a initial order, using the same named contact and proofing process, with board and ink sourced from the same suppliers as before.
As your order becomes larger, the lower unit cost is included directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to enter.
This pricing model applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder supplied by another supplier undergoes identical proofing and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Nothing gets automatic approval just because it looks like something you already had!
Responsible sourcing from our leading packaging facility
Each box we make is fully recyclable, supporting efforts 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 reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to withstand procurement audit scrutiny, we would be pleased to talk it through with you face to face or by telephone.
How altering or commencing runs
Please contact us with an outline of what you need packed, your area in Gateshead, the number required, and whether we should follow an existing supplier.
