From a one-off sample to a complete range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one dedicated team bring everything together.
Your artwork stays safely with us, your colours stay accurate from the first order through the tenth, and we communicate clearly whenever a deadline leaves little room to spare.
From your first sample to a reorder two years later, one named contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification remains unchanged because the same person remains at the helm.

How do differences emerge when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Hackney
A initial order is really about the box in question: will it fit, print clearly and arrive on time?
A strong supplier relationship proves itself on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you explaining the specification from scratch.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain the same from your first order through every reorder.
The team member quoting your job operates it on the press as well!
If any aspect of a reorder requires clarification, you can speak to them directly and get a genuine answer.
Why Hackney-based businesses opt for our packaging options
There is no minimum spend on each article
There is no minimum order for any item we produce, so one sample or a repeat order of five hundred units goes through exactly the same process!
We don’t need a minimum volume before accepting your job, nor do we apply an extra charge simply because your order is small.
This means we grow together with your Hackney business.
When the moment arrives to develop your business or widen your product range, we will be there for you at all stages of the process.
Sole named liaison from first enquiry to delivery
A single dedicated contact handles your account from your first enquiry to delivery, retaining a clear understanding of your specification when you are ready to place another order.
You are never transferred from one department to another, nor made to repeat the details of your job each time you call.
Years of domestic production
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, the parent company of our business, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.
This history shows the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are established over many years partners, developed over decades rather than newly sourced for each new job.
Because we prepare ink and hold board stock in house, colour matching never depends on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The factory makes precisely what is shown on the approved proof.
Distribution bespoke to your Hackney firm
Wherever your business is located in the country, we send out everything from one sample to a full pallet!
Our delivery service gathers all orders from the same Irvine factory according to the same schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Hackney.
Whether a single box must be couriered for sign-off or multiple pallets need scheduling around a launch date, one consistent logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery stays the same as the order expands.
Bespoke styles developed around your offering.
Some products simply do not fit into a regular box.
When yours has an uncommon shape or awkward dimensions, we design the structure to work around it. Components needing separation during transit receive the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added afterwards.
Our design team works with your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An early sample checks fit and function before any unit enters full production.
Should the die cut need adjustment, we amend it and supply a second sample rather than producing an unsuitable batch.
Wrapping products from Personalised Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is produced at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories finishing an order, everything is manufactured on one production line.
Containers and cartages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes meet many retail and product packaging needs. Printing extends across every panel, helping ensure the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.
For gifts and jewellery, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid begins selling the product prior to being opened.
High quality board material and an exact die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Corrugated envelopes and dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to fit your product’s exact dimensions, cutting down on void fill and preventing the damage that an poorly fitting box may cause during transport.
For larger or bulkier products, we manufacture corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts safeguard the contents within.
A gusseted box expands to fit multiple items in one order, making it particularly suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that differ each month.
Packing tailored to the business area
Our top-tier packaging is thoughtfully designed to support products across a broad range of industries.
Meal packing provisions
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, frequently being 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 is more important than appearance.
Elite industry
For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity keeps products safe in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the contents.
We create packaging designs that suit your items, providing your brand a noticeably luxurious feel.
Postal box and ecommerce brands
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it often results in a request for a return or refund, making sturdy packaging necessary for ecommerce brands operating across courier networks.
Moreover, bespoke packaging provides a lasting unboxing experience.
Converting an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, on occasion, free online advertising.
Maintaining every reorder in regularity
When a reorder arrives, we handle it as a first order, keeping the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the previously used suppliers.
As your order grows, the lower unit cost is included directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to keep in mind.
This price structure is applicable whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A repeat order from another supplier undergoes the same proofing procedure and rigorous quality checks as an entirely new design.
Nothing gets approved automatically just because it resembles something you already had!
Green procurement from our leading packaging centre
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable, contributing to a reduction in plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a glossy finish if adding it makes a box more difficult to recycle, while reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you either face to face or by telephone.
