Sustainable Packaging for Small Businesses
Packaging Supplier Hartlepool

Whatever your packaging needs, from one sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, are overseen by one factory and one dedicated team.

We hold on to your artwork, replicate your colours as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you frankly when a deadline is demanding.

From your initial sample to a reorder two years later, one named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification remains unchanged because the same person stays at the helm.

For a packaging supplier built to grow with your business, speak to the welcoming team at Custom Pack Studio today.

How packaging evolves when it is established as a long-term vendor alliance

A first order primarily tests the box itself: whether it is the right fit, prints accurately and arrives on time.

A working relationship with a supplier is confirmed on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification once more from the beginning.

We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, helping to keep colour and wall thickness the same from your first order to every reorder.

The individual pricing your job also runs it on the press.

Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can talk to them directly and get a straightforward answer.

The motives behind why Hartlepool businesses choose our company’s packaging services

Absolutely no minimum buy on any item.

We have no a minimum order for anything we produce, so a single sample and a reorder of five hundred units are handled through the same process.

We have no requirement for a minimum order volume, and we do not add an extra charge solely because your order is limited in size.

This shows that our progress is consistent with your Hartlepool business.

When the time comes to expand your business or extend your product range, our support will be there for you at every stage of the journey.

Just one assigned point of contact, from question to dispatch

One designated contact manages your account from your first enquiry to delivery, maintaining a clear understanding of your specification when you are prepared to place another order.

You are never passed between teams, or forced to repeat the details of the job to a new person whenever you call.

Several decades of onsite manufacturing

Our wider company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK from 1997.

That background shows the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are long-standing contacts developed over decades, rather than found anew for each job.

Since we prepare our own ink and keep board stock, colour matching does not depend on a third party printer deciphering your brief.

What you approve in the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!

Delivery customised to fit your Hartlepool company

We supply across the country, wherever your business is situated, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.

Our delivery service picks up all orders from the same Irvine factory according to a single schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Hartlepool.

Whether you require a single box couriered for sign-off or multiple pallets planned for a launch date, one consistent logistics process coordinates both, ensuring delivery continues as usual as your order grows.

Customised layouts made centred on your offering

A number of products simply do not sit into a conventional box.

When yours features an distinctive shape or awkward dimension, we form the structure to suit it. Components needing separation during transit are built within it, never attached later.

Our design department evaluates your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An first sample assesses fit and function before any unit enters full production.

Should the die cut require refinement, we refine it and produce a second sample rather than producing an inappropriate batch.

Luminae Packaging - Custom Pack Studio

Packaging products from Bespoke Pack Studio

Every piece of packaging in our collection is produced within our own factory, ensuring the finish signed off on your sample is precisely the finish delivered with an order of five hundred.

From custom-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is produced on a single production line.

Containers and box containers

Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes can hold varied retail and product packaging, with printing added to every panel to help ensure the branding visible regardless of how the container is oriented on a shelf.

For jewellery and presents, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid begins selling the product prior to being opened.

The quality of the board and the accuracy of its die cut are just as important here as the printing itself.

Cardboard mailing packs and delivery packaging

Postal mailer boxes are made to suit your product’s measurements, minimising surplus void fill and limiting the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transit.

For larger products, we create corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts support the contents.

A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.

Packaging services for the industry

Our high-quality packaging is created to accommodate a broad selection of products across numerous industries.

Catering packaging equipment

We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is generally the first thing food packaging customers enquire about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.

Food and drink packaging is governed by the strictest requirements of every category we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s appearance.

Upscale sector

When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product safely, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.

We assist you in creating packaging that enhances your products and adds a luxurious feel to your brand.

Post box and internet retail labels

When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it often results in a request for a return or refund, making robust packaging essential for ecommerce brands operating across courier networks.

Additionally, tailored packaging makes the opening of your order memorable.

Turning an opening into loyal customers and, occasionally, free online advertising!

Ensuring every re-arrangement uniform

We handle every reorder as we would a first order, keeping the same named contact and proofing process, while sourcing the board and ink from the same suppliers as previously.

As your order becomes larger, the reduced unit cost is reflected directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to enter.

The same pricing structure is applicable to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, and even a pallet secured for bulk delivery.

Even a matched reorder from a different supplier is given identical proofing and quality checks as those applied to an completely new design.

Nothing gets automatic approval simply because it resembles something you already had!

Ethical sourcing from our leading packaging centre

Every box we make is 100% recyclable, helping to 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 reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.

If a sustainability claim needs to withstand a procurement audit, we are pleased to talk it through in person or over the telephone.

How altering versus commencing functions

get in touch with us with an rough description of what you need to package, your location in Hartlepool, the required quantity, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.

Use our free samples service to order a sample when trialling new products or checking quality before placing a larger order.

Sign off on the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, matched it to any existing specification, and verified the pricing in writing.

Production and delivery normally take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Hartlepool addresses receive deliveries within one to two working days after dispatch.

Place a repeat order whenever needed through that same named contact, using the specification held on file.
