From a single sample to a full packaging range for a long-term account, one factory and team handle every requirement.
We keep your artwork securely in our records, reproduce your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and inform you promptly if a deadline appears challenging.
A the same named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec remains unchanged because the same person remains responsible.

How does adjustments arise when packaging becomes an continuous supplier relationship with Gloucester
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 proves its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification from scratch.
We handle board stock and ink mixing at our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your initial order through each repeat order.
The professional quoting your job also runs it on the press.
Should a repeat order need clarification, they are the person to speak to directly for a straightforward, honest answer.
Why Gloucester-owned enterprises go for our packaging solutions
Absolutely no minimum order on any item.
There is no minimum order requirement for any item we produce, so a single sample or a repeat order of five hundred units follows exactly the same process!
We do not require a minimum volume before accepting your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is small.
This shows that we grow alongside your Gloucester business.
When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will assist you through every stage of your journey.
One dedicated contact, from enquiry to delivery
A single dedicated contact stays with your account from initial enquiry to delivery, so your order details is already familiar when you are ready to reorder.
You speak to one consistent team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a new person each time you call.
Decades of internal creation
From 1997, our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
Since we mix our own ink and hold board stock, colour matching doesn’t rely on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The factory produces precisely what is shown on the approved proof.
Dispatch personalised to the needs of your Gloucester enterprise
We send throughout the country, wherever your business is based, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our collection operation picks up from the same factory in Irvine on a set schedule, regardless of order size or delivery destination in Gloucester.
Whether you need a one box submitted for approval or multiple pallets arranged for a launch date, a single logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery continues in the same way as the order grows.
Customised designs made around your item
A few products do not sit within a regular box.
If yours has an atypical shape or unusual dimension, we create 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 team works with your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An first sample verifies fit and function before any unit enters full production.
If the die cut requires refinement, we revise it and provide a second sample instead of producing a batch that does not meet requirements.
Packaging goods by Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our collection is made in our own factory, so that the finish approved on the basis of a sample is identical to the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is manufactured on one production line.
Packages and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes serve countless retail and product packaging needs, with branding displayed on every panel so it continues to be visible wherever the container rests on the shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid starts selling the product before it has even been opened.
High quality board material and an precise die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Recycled mailers and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are tailored to your product’s dimensions, minimising void fill and avoiding the damage an ill fitting box can cause in transit.
For larger or heavier products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts safeguard the contents inside.
A gusseted box expands to fit multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that change each month.
Wrapping answers for every field
Our high-quality packaging is developed to serve a wide variety of products across many industries.
Catering packaging provisions
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, often serving as the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Of every category we offer, food and drink packaging is governed by the most demanding requirements, as ensuring safe contact with the product takes priority over the box’s appearance.
Luxury industry
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the product within.
We create packaging that showcases your items and adds your brand a luxurious feel.
Letter box and ecommerce labels
A crushed mailer often triggers a request for a return or refund, making robust packaging necessary for e commerce brands that need boxes to endure the courier network and reach their destination intact.
Furthermore, tailored packaging turns opening the parcel into a remarkable unboxing experience.
Converting an opening into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising!
Keeping every reorder orderly
We process every reorder as we would a first order, keeping the same named contact and proofing process, while obtaining the board and ink 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.
The same rates applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished over the course of a quarter, or a pallet arranged for large-volume delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier undergoes the same proofing procedure and rigorous quality checks as an completely new design.
Nothing gets automatic approval merely because it is similar to something you already had!
Sustainable acquisition from our flagship packaging site
Every box we make is completely recyclable, which helps reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate purely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we are happy to discuss it in person or over the telephone.
How transitioning or starting works
Please contact us and share an general idea of what you need packed, your location in Gloucester, the amount required, and whether we should replicate an existing supplier.
Ask for a sample through our free samples service when testing new products or assessing quality before committing with a full order.
Approve the proof after our team has produced the artwork, ensured it follows any existing specification, and confirmed the pricing in writing.
Manufacturing and delivery generally take two to three weeks. Most UK and Gloucester addresses receive their orders within one to two working days of being dispatched.
Whenever needed, place a repeat order through the same named contact using the same specification held on file.
