Regardless of your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee it all.
We hold your artwork on file, reproduce colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and communicate clearly when deadlines are tight.
From your initial sample to a reorder two years later, one named contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification is unchanged because the same person remains at the helm.

In what way alterations occur when wrapping evolves into an sustained provider partnership
An initial run largely involves the box itself, including whether it fits, prints well, and is delivered on time.
A supplier relationship is proven on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification once more from the beginning.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our very own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through all subsequent reorders.
The team member putting together your quotation will as well run your job on the press.
Any questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a clear, honest answer.
Why Harlow-branded businesses select our packaging services
No minimum purchase on every product
We have no a minimum order for all items we produce, so a single sample and a reorder of five hundred units go through the same process.
We do not require a minimum volume to take on your job, and small orders never incur an additional charge.
This indicates we grow along with your Harlow company.
When the time arrives to grow your business or product line, we will help you at each stage.
One single assigned contact starting from enquiry through to delivery
One consistent contact remains with your account from the initial enquiry to delivery, so your specification is already known when you are prepared to reorder.
You speak to one dedicated team, so you never have to repeat the job to a new member of the team whenever you call.
Decades of in-house manufacturing
From 1997, our parent business, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are reliable partners nurtured over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
Since we mix our own ink and maintain board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The edition approved on the proof is exactly what leaves the plant.
Despatch customised according to your Harlow business
We provide delivery throughout the country, wherever your business is situated, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service gathers every order from the same Irvine factory according to a single schedule, regardless of its dimensions or destination in Harlow.
Whether you want a single box submitted for approval or multiple pallets arranged for a launch date, the same logistics process handles both, so that delivery stays consistent as the order increases.
Tailored concepts developed for your product
Certain products simply do not sit into a conventional box.
Where yours has an atypical shape or awkward dimensions, we build the structure around it. Components needing separation during transit receive the same considered approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Your actual product is where our design journey begins, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a initial sample confirms its fit and function.
If the die cut needs modification, we amend it and issue a further sample rather than producing an unsuitable batch.
Packing products by Tailored Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our collection is made at our own facility, meaning the finish accepted on your sample is identical to that supplied in an order of five hundred.
From tailored packaging designed for a single product line to the accessories that accompany each order, everything comes from one production line.
Containers and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes can hold varied retail and product packaging, with printing applied to every panel to keep the branding in view regardless of how the container is oriented on a shelf.
For jewellery and gift-giving, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid starts selling the product before it is opened at all.
Here, quality board and an exact die cut are just as important as the printing itself.
Corrugated postal packets and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to suit your product’s dimensions, reducing void fill and preventing the damage a ill-fitting box can cause during transit.
For bigger or heavier products, we manufacture corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts safeguard the contents inside.
A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it a suitable choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Wrapping for your specific market
Our top-tier packaging is ideal for a wide range of products across various industries.
Cuisine packing materials
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is typically the first assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets our highest requirements, because product-contact safety takes priority over the box’s appearance.
High-end market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a bespoke insert or foam recess keeps items from moving in transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination complement the product within.
We support you in creating packaging that complements your items, bringing a premium feel for your company.
Mail containers plus ecommerce labels
A squashed mailer often results in a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box designed to survive the courier network intact.
Furthermore, tailored packaging transforms unboxing into a lasting experience.
Transforming an opportunity into customer loyalty and, occasionally, free online advertising!
Ensuring every reorder consistent
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 previously.
As your order grows, the lower unit cost is included directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to remember.
The same pricing structure is applicable to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, and even a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder sourced from another supplier undergoes identical proofing and quality checks as a new design.
Nothing is approved solely because it is intended to look like something you already had.
Eco-friendly sourcing from our premier packaging site
Every box we manufacture is fully recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t add laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we are happy to talk it through face to face or over the telephone.

Discover your ideal packaging solution with Custom Pack Studio today.
Call 01294 314 919 or email contact@custompackstudio.co.uk. If you are changing supplier, send your current spec or a sample of the existing box. We can quote against it directly instead of starting from scratch.
Starting from the very start is equally effective.
Share what you are packing and the quantity required, either by phone or by starting a design with our online design tool before ordering, and we will quickly provide a written quotation, with no pressure to commit.
Your first sample is free, and it is free again when an existing account moves over to us. In both cases, the person providing your quotation will still be the same person looking after your account in two years.
We ship all over the UK straight to Harlow from our Irvine manufacturing facility, no matter where your business is located.
