From a one-off sample to a complete range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one committed team handle everything in one place.
We store your artwork on file, make sure colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and advise you candidly when a deadline is especially tight.
A dedicated contact oversees your request, production and dispatch, from the initial sample to a reorder after two years. Because they remain involved throughout, the specification stays unchanged.

What kind of changes take place when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Herne Bay
An early purchase largely concerns the box itself, including whether it fits, prints clearly, and is delivered on time.
A working relationship with a supplier is confirmed on order six, when the same product calls for the same colour and fit, without asking you to explain the specification once more from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through all subsequent reorders.
The person who prepares your quotation also manages its production on the press.
Questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Why Herne Bay-led organisations opt for our company’s packaging offerings
No minimum purchase on everything.
We have no minimum order requirement on all products we make, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units follow identical procedures.
We don’t need a minimum volume before taking on your job, nor do we apply an extra charge simply because your order is small.
As a result, our growth stays aligned with your Herne Bay business.
As soon as you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will be alongside you throughout the entire course of your journey!
Sole dedicated contact, from enquiry to delivery
The same designated contact manages your account from your initial enquiry through to delivery, already knowing your specification when you are ready to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or required to outline the job again to a new member of the team whenever you telephone.
Years of internal production
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships nurtured over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The factory manufactures precisely what appears on the approved proof.
Delivery tailored around your Herne Bay venture
We deliver across the country, regardless of where your business is based, from a single sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service collects from the same factory in Irvine following a consistent schedule, regardless of order size or destination within Herne Bay.
Whether one box must be couriered for sign-off or several pallets need arranging around a launch date, one single logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order grows.
Personalised Solutions Crafted Focussed on Your Goods
Not each product is well suited to a standard box.
If yours has an unusual shape or challenging dimension, we design the structure to suit it. Components requiring separation during transit are handled similarly, incorporated into the structure instead of being attached at a later stage.
Our design team deals directly with your actual product rather than depending entirely on a spec sheet. The first sample checks fit and function before complete production starts.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we revise it and provide a second sample instead of creating an unusable batch.
Packaging items by Custom Packaging Studio
All packaging in our collection is produced at our own facility, meaning that the finish approved from a sample is exactly the finish delivered for 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 one production line.
Packages and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to keep your branding in view regardless of how the container is positioned on a shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it is opened at all.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard postal packs and postal packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and limiting damage caused by a poorly fitting box during transit.
For bigger or bulkier products, we manufacture corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, whilst printed inserts protect the contents within.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in a single order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Parceling personalised to your sector
Our premium packaging is ideal for diverse products across numerous industries.
Meal wrapping materials
We have High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, often the first aspect food packaging customers ask about, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Of all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the highest level of care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always take priority over the box’s appearance.
Prestige market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a bespoke insert or foam recess keeps items from moving during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.
We produce packaging designs that complement your items, giving your brand a noticeably luxurious feel.
Postal containers for online firms
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it often results in a return or refund request, making durable packaging important for ecommerce brands operating across courier networks.
What’s in addition, bespoke packaging transforms opening your order into a lasting unboxing experience!
Converting an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, at times, free online advertising.
Ensuring each reordering steady
Your reorder receives exactly the same treatment as your first order. That includes the same named contact, identical proofing process, and board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
Bigger orders bring down the unit cost, with the reduction included in the stated price instead of requiring a discount code to be applied.
The identical pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, and even a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder supplied by another supplier receives identical proofing and quality checks as a entirely new design.
No article passes an inspection merely because it appears similar to something you already own.
Environmentally responsible sourcing from our main packaging plant
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate just to create a glossy finish if this makes a box harder to recycle, and we are discontinuing single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to stand up to procurement audit scrutiny, we would be delighted to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
How modifying or beginning operations
Please contact us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, your location in Herne Bay, the quantity required, and whether we need to match an existing supplier.
Make use of our free samples service to request a sample when evaluating new products or verifying quality before placing a larger order.
Approve the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, checked it against any existing specification and verified the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery usually take two to three weeks. Most UK and Herne Bay addresses get their orders within one to two working days of dispatch.
When necessary, reorder through the same named contact, using the specification already held on file.
