Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team handle it all.
We store your artwork safely on file, reproduce your colours just as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and inform you promptly if a deadline looks tight.
A one named contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person stays responsible.

How does alterations happen when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Havant
A first order mainly assesses the box itself: whether it fits, prints accurately and arrives on schedule.
A supplier relationship demonstrates its value on the sixth order, when an matching product requires matching colour and fit, without the need for you to restate the specification from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our very own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through every reorder.
The individual preparing your quote will also run your job on the press.
Whenever a reorder calls for clarity, they are the person you contact directly, prepared with a honest answer.
Why Havant-led enterprises select the packaging services
Zero minimum purchase on every item
We have no minimum order requirement on all products we make, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units go through the same procedures.
We have no minimum volume requirement, and a small order will not attract an additional charge.
This means, we grow alongside your Havant company.
When you feel ready to grow your business or product line, we will support you through every stage of your journey.
One dedicated contact, from enquiry to fulfilment
The same person continues to be responsible for your account throughout the process, from initial enquiry to delivery, already aware of your specifications when the time comes to reorder.
You work with one regular team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a different person each time you call.
Countless eras of onsite manufacturing
Our wider company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK from 1997.
This background means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are long-established partners, developed over decades rather than found afresh for each individual job.
As we ready the ink and maintain our own board stock, your colour match does not rely on an outside printer’s interpretation of your brief.
What you approve in the proof is exactly what leaves the factory!
Supply shaped according to your Havant enterprise
We ship nationwide, regardless of where your business is based, from a one sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service gathers every order from the same Irvine factory according to one schedule, regardless of its dimensions or destination in Havant.
Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one consistent logistics process manages everything, so delivery stays consistent as your order grows.
Tailored plans created around your product
Certain products fall outside the size of a standard box.
If yours has an unusual shape or unusual dimension, we build the structure to suit it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated in the same way, integrated into the structure instead of being attached at a later stage.
Our design team works directly with your actual product rather than using only a spec sheet. The first sample assesses fit and function before production gets under way.
If the die cut needs adjustment, we modify it and provide another sample rather than producing a batch that is not appropriate.
Parceling items by Custom Pack Studio
Every product in our packaging range is produced at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is exactly what you receive when ordering five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories completing an order, everything is manufactured on one production line.
Cases and packing boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes work well for varied retail and product packaging, with each panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers are placed.
When considering jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is even revealed!
The standard of the board and the accuracy of its die cut are equally important here as the printing itself.
Cardboard mailers and dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to suit your product’s dimensions, helping to reduce void fill and preventing the damage a badly fitting box can cause in transit.
For larger objects, we create corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts protect the contents.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in a single order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Packaging answers for every business
Our reliable packaging is well-suited to a wide range of products across various industries.
Edible packaging provisions
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is generally the initial assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets the toughest requirements across all the products we supply, because keeping products safe in contact is far more important than the appearance of the box.
Top-Tier level market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity secures each product securely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the contents.
We support you in designing packaging that complements your items, adding a premium feel for your brand.
Postal cartons for digital labels
A crushed mailer often prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box built to survive the courier network intact.
What’s more, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a a lasting unboxing experience!
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, sometimes, complimentary online advertising!
Keeping every rearrangement 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.
The unit cost decreases as the order size increases, with those savings already factored in the pricing rather than depending on a discount code you need to remember to use.
This pricing approach applies whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A repeat order from another supplier receives the same proofing procedure and rigorous quality checks as an completely new design.
No article passes inspection simply because it appears similar to something you already own.
Sustainable acquisition from our premier packaging site
Every box we produce is entirely recyclable, helping to cut down on plastic and landfill waste.
We will refrain from adding laminate only for a glossy finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, whilst reducing single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability claim face scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.
How switching or embarking on operates

Discover your suitable packaging solution with Custom Pack Studio now.
Call 01294 314 919 or email contact@custompackstudio.co.uk. If you are moving from another supplier, send us your current specification or a sample of the existing box, allowing us to quote directly against it rather than beginning with a blank page.
Starting anew can be just as effective.
Share an approximate description of your packing needs and required quantity by telephone, or begin designing with our online design tool before ordering. We will send without delay a written quotation, with no commitment to place an order.
A specimen is free with a initial order, and again on the day an existing account transfers to us. In both cases, the person providing the quotation will still be looking after your account two years from now.
Irrespective of your business location, we deliver throughout the UK directly to Havant from the very same Irvine factory.
