From a single sample to a complete packaging range for a long-term account, one factory and team handle every requirement.
We keep your artwork in our records, reproduce colours on your tenth reorder as accurately as on the first, and speak plainly when deadlines are tight.
From your first sample to a reorder two years later, one dedicated contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification remains unchanged because the same person remains at the helm.

Which differences arise when container design becomes an continuous supplier relationship with Hoddesdon
An first order largely involves the box itself, including whether it is the right fit, prints clearly, and is delivered on time.
A working relationship with a supplier is demonstrated on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without asking you to explain the specification once more from the beginning.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness stay consistent from your first order through every subsequent reorder.
The person who puts together your quotation also manages its production on the press.
If a reorder needs further explanation, they are the person to contact directly for a definitive answer.
Why Hoddesdon-owned businesses choose our packaging options
Absolutely no minimum quantity on the entire range.
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, meaning one sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow the same process.
We do not need a minimum volume before taking on your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This means we grow alongside your Hoddesdon business.
When the time arrives to develop your business or product line, we will support you every step of the way.
Single dedicated contact, starting from enquiry up to delivery
The same person remains responsible for your account from initial enquiry to delivery, already acquainted with your specifications when you come to reorder.
You deal with one consistent team, so you are not required to explain the job again to a new person when you call.
Countless periods of on-site manufacturing
Our holding company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK from 1997.
That background means the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are long-standing contacts developed over decades, rather than found anew for each job.
As we prepare ink and keep board stock in house, colour matching does not rely on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The plant manufactures exactly what is approved on the proof.
Distribution tailored to the needs of your Hoddesdon enterprise
We supply across the country, wherever your business is based, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service collects from the same facility in Irvine according to a set schedule, regardless of order size or location within Hoddesdon.
Whether a single box must be sent by courier for sign-off or multiple pallets need arranging around a launch date, one consistent logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery stays the same as the order grows.
Bespoke layouts made to suit your product
Some products cannot be accommodated inside a standard box.
When yours has an unusual shape or difficult dimensions, we engineer the structure to fit around it. Components requiring separation during transit are given the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added later.
Our design experts review your physical product rather than relying solely on specifications. An first sample checks fit and operation before any unit enters full production.
Should the die cut require refinement, we refine it and supply a second sample rather than making an unsuitable batch.
Boxing products from Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging within our collection is made in our own factory, so that the finish selected from a sample is exactly the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
Whether it is custom packaging for a sole product line or the accessories that complete an order, it is all produced on one production line.
Crates and cartages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes accommodate countless retail and product packaging needs, with each panel printed to keep your branding in view wherever the container rests on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it has even been opened.
The standard of the board and the precision of its die cut are just as important here as the printing itself.
Corrugated postage mailers and dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to suit your product’s measurements, minimising surplus void fill and reducing the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transit.
For heavier or larger items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box increases in capacity to hold multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that change each month.
Packing answers for any business
Our high-quality packaging is ideal for a wide variety of products and industries!
Meal packing supplies
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is generally the first requirement food packaging customers enquire about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging faces the toughest requirements across everything we supply, because keeping products safe in contact is much more important than the appearance of the box.
First-class market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product safely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the contents.
We create packaging that elevates your items and adds your brand a premium feel.
Postal lockers and online shopping names
A mailer arriving crushed commonly prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box built to endure the courier network and reach its destination intact.
In addition, tailored packaging makes the opening of your order memorable.
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, sometimes, complimentary online advertising!
Maintaining each reshuffling steadily
When a reorder comes in, we handle it as a first order, keeping the same named contact, following the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the previously used suppliers.
As your order grows, the unit cost decreases, with savings included in the price, so there is no discount code to recall!
This pricing model applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder procured from another supplier goes through identical proofing and quality checks as a new design.
No item is approved entirely because it is created to resemble something you already had.
Ethical sourcing from our leading packaging centre
Each box we produce is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely 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 throughout the range.
If you require a sustainability claim to withstand procurement audit scrutiny, we would be delighted to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.
How switching or initiating tasks
Reach out to us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, your location in Hoddesdon, the required quantity, and whether we need to match an existing supplier.
If you are evaluating new products or wish to assess their quality before placing a complete order, you can ask for a sample via our complimentary samples service.
Approve the proof after our team produces the artwork, follows any existing spec and confirms pricing in writing.
Manufacturing and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Hoddesdon addresses get their orders within one to two working days following dispatch.
Place a repeat order as required through the same named contact, using the specification held on file.

Explore your right 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 begin from scratch.
Beginning at the start is equally effective.
Contact us to share what you are packing and the quantity required by phone, or create a design using our online design tool before placing your order. We will prepare a timely written quote, with no obligation to continue.
A sample is complimentary with a initial order, and again on the day an existing account moves over to us. In both cases, the person giving the quotation will still be looking after your account in two years’ time.
No matter where your company is situated in the UK, we deliver directly to Hoddesdon from our Irvine site.
