Sustainable Packaging for Small Businesses
Packaging Supplier Ipswich

Whatever your packaging requirements, from an individual sample to a complete range of products for a continuing account, are overseen by a single factory and a single dedicated team.

Your artwork remains safely with us, your colours retain their true appearance from the first order through the tenth, and we speak plainly whenever a deadline leaves little room to spare.

A one named contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder after two years. The specification remains consistent because the same person continues to be responsible.

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

What changes when wrapping becomes an ongoing vendor association?

A initial order largely evaluates the box itself: whether it is the right fit, prints accurately and arrives on time.

A business relationship proves its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to repeat the specification all over again.

By overseeing 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 subsequent reorder.

The team member quoting your job operates it on the press as well!

Should a reorder need clarification, they are the person to contact directly for a straightforward, genuine answer.

Why Ipswich enterprises select our company’s packaging solutions

No minimum purchase on every item

There is no minimum order requirement for any item we produce, so one sample or a repeat order of five hundred units goes through exactly the same process!

We do not need a minimum volume before accepting your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.

This means our growth stays aligned with your Ipswich business.

When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will guide you through every stage of your journey.

Sole named representative from question to final delivery

Your assigned contact supports your account from enquiry right through to delivery, so they know your spec when you are ready to place another order.

You are never passed between departments, or forced to explain the job again to a different person whenever you get in touch.

Generations of internal manufacturing

Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.

That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than found anew for each job.

As we ready the ink and keep our own board stock, your colour match does not rely on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.

The edition approved on the proof is precisely what leaves the plant.

Distribution crafted in line with your Ipswich company

We deliver nationwide to your business, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.

Our delivery service gathers orders from the same factory in Irvine on a regular schedule, regardless of the size of the order or delivery destination in Ipswich.

Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order grows.

Tailored designs made to enhance your item

Not every product is well suited to a standard box.

If yours has an atypical shape or challenging dimensions, we create the structure to suit it exactly. Components that require separation during transit receive the same thoughtful treatment, integrated into the structure from the start rather than being added afterwards.

Our design experts assess your physical product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An first sample checks fit and performance before any item moves into full production.

Should the die cut need adjustment, we amend it and produce a second sample rather than producing an inappropriate batch.

Luminae Packaging - Custom Pack Studio

Wrapping items from Custom Pack Studio

Every item of packaging in our selection is manufactured at our own site, meaning the finish accepted on your sample is consistent with that supplied in an order of five hundred.

Everything from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories included with an order is made on one production line.

Cases and boxes

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 visible regardless of how the container is positioned on a shelf.

For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is even opened.

The standard of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.

Paperboard packaging sleeves and shipping packaging

Postal mailer boxes are tailored to your product’s dimensions, reducing void fill and preventing the damage an inadequately fitting box can cause in transit.

When bulkier items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons protect them, while printed inserts softly cushion everything inside.

A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.

Packaging for your own market

Our high-quality packaging is ideal for a large selection of products and industries!

Catering packaging products

We hold High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, often the first aspect food packaging customers ask about, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.

Food and drink packaging meets the most demanding requirements across everything we supply, because keeping products safe in contact is far more important than the appearance of the box.

Prestige sector

For jewellery and cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.

We support you in creating packaging that enhances your items, bringing a premium feel for your brand.

Post packaging for e-commerce companies

A damaged mailer can often prompt a request for a return or refund, making robust packaging essential for e commerce brands that need boxes to endure the courier network and remain undamaged on arrival.

What’s moreover, bespoke packaging turns opening your order into a memorable unboxing experience!

Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, from time to time, complimentary online advertising.

Preserving all reorganisation constantly

When a reorder is received, we treat it as a first order, retaining the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the previously used suppliers.

As your order increases in size, the reduced unit cost is shown directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to keep in mind.

This pricing approach covers equally twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.

Even a matched reorder from a different supplier is given the same proofing and quality checks as an completely new design.

Nothing passes simply because it looks like something you already had.

Eco-friendly sourcing from our premier packaging centre

Each box we make is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.

We won’t introduce laminate just 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 a sustainability statement need scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be happy to discuss it with you either face to face or by telephone.

How changing or starting happens

Get in touch with us and share an rough idea of what you need packed, your location in Ipswich, the amount required, and whether we should match an existing supplier.

If you are trying new products or would like to evaluate their quality before placing a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.

Approve the proof after our team produces the artwork, follows any existing spec and confirms pricing in writing.

Production and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while most UK and Ipswich addresses get their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.

As required, reorder through the same named contact using the same specification held on file.

Call 01294 314 919 or email contact@custompackstudio.co.uk. If you are changing supplier, send your current specification or a sample of the existing box, allowing us to quote directly against it instead of starting from a blank page.

Starting at the beginning works equally well.

Tell us what you plan to pack and the amount needed, either by phone or by putting together a design with our online tool before placing your order. We will then send a swift written quotation, with no requirement to continue.

Your first sample is free, and it is free again when an existing account moves over to us. In both cases, the person preparing your quotation will still be the same person looking after your account in two years.

Irrespective of your business location, we deliver throughout the UK directly to Ipswich from the very same Irvine factory.
