From a one-off sample to a full range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one dedicated team handle everything in one place.
We hold on to your artwork, replicate your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and speak honestly to you when a deadline is tight.
One named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a further order two years later. Your spec remains unchanged because the same person handles all aspects.

How packing evolves when it is established as a ongoing provider collaboration
A first order is really about the box itself: will it fit properly, print clearly and reach you on time?
A supplier relationship shows its worth on the sixth order, when an matching product requires matching colour and fit, without making you restate the specification from the beginning.
By handling board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, we make sure that colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every later reorder.
The individual providing a quote for your job runs it on the press as well!
If a reorder needs further explanation, they are the person to contact directly for a genuine answer.
The Reason Hemel Hempstead businesses select Our packing services
No minimum purchase on all products.
We do not require minimum order quantities on any products we make, so a single sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through precisely the same process.
We do not require a minimum quantity before taking on your job, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because your order is limited.
This shows we grow in step with your Hemel Hempstead business.
Once you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will assist you along your journey.
A single dedicated liaison, from inquiry to delivery
One dedicated contact remains with your account from initial enquiry to delivery, so your specification is already known when you are ready to place another order.
You will not be transferred between departments or left having to explain the job again to someone new each time you call.
Countless eras of on-site manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, the parent company of our business, has been operating presses in the UK since 1997.
This background ensures that the board and ink suppliers involved with your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than found afresh for each new job.
Since we mix our own ink and hold board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
What you approve on the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Shipment customised to suit your Hemel Hempstead business
Wherever your business is located in the country, we deliver everything from one sample to a complete pallet!
Our collection operation picks up from the same factory in Irvine on a regular schedule, regardless of order size or destination in Hemel Hempstead.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process oversees everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Made-to-order styles created around your product.
Not every product is suited to a typical box.
Where yours has an irregular shape or awkward dimensions, we engineer the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit are given the same careful approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Our design specialists evaluate your physical product rather than using only specifications. An early sample verifies fit and operation before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut needs modification, we modify it and send a second sample rather than making an unsuitable batch.
Boxing goods from Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is produced at our own factory, ensuring the finish confirmed on your sample is identical to that supplied in an order of five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is manufactured on one production line.
Boxes and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes work well for various retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers are placed.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid can begin selling the product before it has even been opened.
Premium board material and precise die cutting are every bit as important here as the printing itself.
Recycled postal packets and shipping 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.
When bulkier items are sent on their way, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons protect them, while printed inserts softly cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box opens out to fit several items in one order, making it a good choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Boxes for the industry
Our premium packaging is thoughtfully designed to support products across a broad range of industries.
Edible packaging essentials
We have 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 moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging faces our strictest requirements, because product-contact safety comes before the box’s appearance.
Prestige field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess keeps the contents from moving in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the product within.
We help design packaging that complements your items and gives your brand a luxurious feel.
Post parcels and online retailers
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it typically indicates a return or refund request, leaving online brands seeking packaging sturdy enough to remain whole from the courier system.
Furthermore, tailored packaging turns opening your order into a memorable experience.
An opening can become customer loyalty and, on occasion, free advertising online.
Maintaining each reshuffle steadily
A repeat order follows the same procedure as a initial order, using the same designated contact and proofing process, with board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
As your order becomes larger, the price per unit goes down, with the saving included in the pricing rather than relying on a discount code.
The same pricing covers twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished over the course of a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder provided by a different supplier is put through identical proofing and quality checks as a completely new design.
Nothing is approved solely because it is designed to imitate something you already had.
Eco-friendly procurement from our premier packaging centre
Each box we produce is entirely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not introduce laminate only for a glossy finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to withstand procurement audit scrutiny, we would be pleased to talk it through with you face to face or over the telephone.
How transitioning or starting happens

Approve the proof after our team completes the artwork, matches any existing specification and verifies the pricing in writing.
