From a one-off sample to a complete range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one dedicated team handle everything in one place.
We keep your artwork in our records, reproduce colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and speak plainly when time is short.
A one 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.

Which shifts when wrapping is transformed into an ongoing provider collaboration?
An early order generally considers the box in question: whether it fits as intended, prints clearly and is delivered on time.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness stay uniform from your first order through every reorder.
The person quoting your job also runs it on the press.
Should a repeat order need further explanation, they are the person to speak to directly for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Why Guildford-based organisations go for our own packaging offerings
Absolutely no minimum purchase on any product.
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 have no requirement for a minimum order volume, and we do not add an extra charge just because your order is limited in size.
This indicates we expand along with your Guildford business.
When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will assist you throughout your journey.
A single designated contact starting from enquiry to delivery
The same person continues to be responsible for your account from your initial enquiry through to delivery, already aware of your specifications when you come to reorder.
You are never passed from one department to another, nor required to repeat the details of your job every time you call.
Decades of in-house manufacturing
Our group company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK since 1997.
This track record indicates the board and ink suppliers working on your order are long-established partners, developed over decades rather than selected anew for each incoming job.
As we mix ink and keep our own board stock, colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The plant produces exactly what is shown on the approved proof.
Courier service designed with your Guildford enterprise
We supply throughout the country, wherever your business is based, whether you need a single sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same factory in Irvine according to a consistent schedule, irrespective of the size of the order or destination within Guildford.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one consistent logistics process oversees everything, so delivery remains unchanged as your order expands.
Bespoke designs developed to complement your offering
A number of products simply do not fit into a regular box.
Where yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimensions, we design the structure around it. Components needing separation during transit are given the same careful approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than fitted afterwards.
Our team of designers assesses your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample checks fit and function before production in full begins.
Should the die cut need adjustment, we amend it and provide a second sample rather than making an unfit batch.
Wrapping products by Custom Packaging Studio
All packaging in our selection is made at our own factory, helping to ensure the finish accepted on your sample is the same as that supplied in an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging designed for a single product line to the accessories that accompany each order, everything comes from one production line.
Cases and packing boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for many retail packaging requirements. Printing extends across every panel, helping ensure the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it is even opened.
The standard of the board material and the accuracy of the die cut are equally important as the print itself.
Paperboard mailing packs and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to match your product’s dimensions rather than a standard size, reducing the need for void fill and limiting damage caused by a poorly fitting box in transit.
For larger or heavier products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, whilst printed inserts protect the contents within.
A gusseted box folds out to hold multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle whose contents vary each month.
Containers tailored to your own industry
Our premium packaging is ideal for varied products across numerous industries.
Edible packing materials
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, often serving as the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Packaging for food and drinks must meet the highest standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety comes before appearance.
Upscale sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a custom-made insert or foam recess keeps items from moving during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.
We assist you in creating packaging that complements your products and adds a luxurious feel to your brand.
Post box and e-commerce brands
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it typically signals a request for a return or refund, leaving online brands seeking packaging durable enough to emerge whole from the courier network.
Additionally, tailored packaging creates a memorable unboxing experience.
Converting an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Maintaining every reshuffle consistent
We handle each reorder in exactly the same way as a first order, using the same named contact, identical proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used before.
As order quantities increase, the unit price decreases, with the savings already reflected in the pricing, leaving no discount code to remember.
This pricing structure applies whether you need twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder provided by a different supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as a completely new design.
Nothing is accepted entirely because it is intended to resemble something you already had.
Sustainable sourcing from our main packaging facility
Every box we create is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not introduce laminate only for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you either in person or by telephone.
How swapping or initiating functions
Please contact us with an rough outline of what you need to pack, your location in Guildford, the quantity you require, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
