From one sample to a complete packaging range for a long-term account, one factory and team handle every requirement.
We keep your artwork, match your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and speak honestly to you when a deadline is tight.
A the same named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person stays responsible.
For a packaging supplier created to grow with your business, get in touch with the helpful team at Custom Pack Studio today.
What shifts when packing turns into an continuous supplier partnership?
A first order mainly concerns the box itself: whether its measurements are appropriate, whether it prints well, and whether it arrives on time.
A supplier relationship demonstrates its value on the sixth order, when an identical product requires matching colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through each reorder.
The team member preparing your quotation is also the one who runs your job on the press.
Should a repeat order require further explanation, they are the person to contact directly for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Reasons Grays businesses prefer Our packaging solutions
Absolutely no minimum spend on all products.
There’s no minimum order for any item we produce, so one sample or a reorder of five hundred units follows exactly the same process!
We do not require a minimum volume to take on your job, and small orders never attract an additional charge.
This shows we grow with your Grays business.
When you are ready to develop your business or widen your product range, we will be there for you at all stages of the process.
An assigned dedicated contact, from query to dispatch
A single dedicated contact stays with your account from initial enquiry to delivery, so your requirements is already understood when you are ready to place another order.
You will not be passed between departments or made to explain the job again to someone new when you ring.
Decades of domestic fabrication
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.
That heritage indicates the board and ink suppliers supporting your order reflect relationships developed over decades, rather than sources newly located for every separate commission.
Since we mix our own ink and keep board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer deciphering your brief.
The factory produces exactly what is signed off on the proof.
Distribution customised to your Grays business
No matter where your business is based in the country, we send out everything from one sample to a full pallet!
Our delivery operation gathers orders from the same factory in Irvine on a fixed schedule, regardless of order size or delivery destination in Grays.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery stays unchanged as the order expands.
Bespoke designs developed for your item
Certain products defy the measurements of a standard box.
Where your item has an atypical shape or challenging dimension, we create the structure to fit it exactly. Components needing to be separated in transit are built into the structure, rather than added subsequently.
Our team of designers reviews your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample verifies fit and function before complete production starts.
If the die cut needs altering, we modify it and issue a further sample rather than producing an unsuitable batch.
Packing goods by Custom Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our range is crafted within our own factory, meaning that the finish signed off on your sample is exactly the finish supplied with an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging designed for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is produced from one production line.
Packages and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes accommodate a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing applied to every panel to keep the branding in view regardless of how the container is placed 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 is even opened.
The quality of the board material and the accuracy of the die cut are equally important as the print itself.
Recycled cardboard post parcels and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to suit your product’s dimensions, helping to reduce void fill and helping to prevent the damage a ill-fitting box can cause in transit.
For larger or more substantial items, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts give cushioning for the items inside.
A gusseted box opens out to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle whose contents vary each month.
Packaging for your market
Our premium packaging is ideally suited to diverse products across numerous industries.
Catering wrapping provisions
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the initial point our food packaging customers want to know about, whether they run a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging faces the toughest requirements across everything we supply, because keeping products safe in contact is far more important than the appearance of the box.
Upscale sector
When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product safely, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We create packaging that elevates your items and provides your brand a luxurious feel.
Mail boxes for digital labels
A crushed mailer can often prompt a return or refund request, making hard-wearing packaging necessary for e commerce brands that require boxes to withstand the courier network and arrive intact.
Moreover, bespoke packaging turns unboxing into a lasting experience.
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Ensuring every reshuffle consistent
We process every reorder in the same way as a first order, retaining the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as before.
The price per unit falls as the order size grows, with those price reductions already factored in the pricing rather than relying on a discount code you have to remember to enter.
This price structure is applicable whether you need twenty boxes, several thousand restocked within a quarter, or a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from a different supplier goes through the same proofing process and quality checks as a completely new design.
Nothing gets automatic approval simply because it resembles something you already had!
Environmentally responsible sourcing from our main packaging site
Each box we produce is fully recyclable, helping to reduce both plastic rubbish and waste sent to landfill.
We will avoid adding laminate only for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, while reducing single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to withstand procurement audit scrutiny, we would be pleased to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.
How changing or beginning operates
Please get in touch with us with an rough outline of what you need to pack, where you are based in Grays, the quantity required, and whether an existing supplier needs to be matched.
When you are looking into new products or simply would like to evaluate their quality before making a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.
Approve the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, ensured it follows any existing specification, and verified the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery generally take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Grays 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.
