Regardless of your packaging requirements, from an individual sample to a full range of products for a continuing account, are handled by one factory and a single dedicated team.
We hold your artwork in our records, match colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and be straightforward when deadlines are tight.
A the same named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person stays responsible.
For a packaging supplier designed to grow alongside your business, get in touch with the helpful team at Custom Pack Studio today.
What differences arise when wrapping becomes a uninterrupted supplier association involving Kempston?
When that first order arrives, attention turns to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it gets to you by the expected time.
A relationship with a supplier builds trust by order six, when an identical product needs the same colour and fit, without needing the specification again.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our very own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain the same from your first order through each reorder.
The individual who puts together your quotation likewise manages its production on the press.
Questions about a reorder go directly to them for a clear, genuine answer.
Reasons Kempston businesses select our packaging offerings
There is no minimum spend on anything.
There’s no minimum order for any item we produce, so one sample or a reorder of five hundred units follows exactly the same process!
We don’t require a minimum order volume, and we do not add an extra charge simply because your order is limited in size.
This shows that we grow alongside your Kempston business.
When the time comes to develop your business or product line, we will support you every step of the way.
A dedicated dedicated contact, from query to completion
Your assigned contact stays with your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, so they are familiar with your spec when you are looking to reorder.
You will not be transferred between departments or made to explain the job again to someone new whenever you call.
Decades of internal production
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK from 1997.
That background means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are established contacts developed over decades, not new sources found for each incoming job.
Because we mix ink and hold board stock in house, colour matching never depends on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The factory manufactures exactly what is shown on the approved proof.
Distribution customised according to your Kempston venture
We ship nationwide to your company, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our collection operation collects from the same factory in Irvine on a fixed schedule, regardless of the size of the order or delivery destination in Kempston.
Whether you require one box sent for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process oversees everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Tailored creations made centred on your offering
Certain products simply do not sit into a standard box.
Where yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimensions, we design the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same thoughtful approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than fitted afterwards.
Our team of designers collaborates directly with your actual product rather than depending entirely on a spec sheet. The first sample tests fit and function before full production begins.
If the die cut needs modification, we amend it and issue a further sample rather than producing an unsuitable batch.
Boxing merchandise through Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is manufactured at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that finish off every order, everything is made on a single production line.
Crates and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes serve numerous retail and product packaging needs, with branding featured on every panel so it remains visible wherever the container sits on the shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts selling the product prior to being opened.
Here, good-quality board and an exact die cut are just as important as the printing itself.
Corrugated postal envelopes and freight packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, reducing the need for void fill and reducing damage caused by a poorly fitting box in transit.
When heavier items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts carefully cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box opens out to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle whose contents change each month.
Packaging services for your own industry
Our premium packaging is ideally suited to diverse products across many industries.
Catering packaging supplies
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is usually the first assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets the toughest requirements across all the products we supply, because keeping products safe in contact is much more important than the appearance of the box.
High-end arena
When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product safely, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We help you create packaging that elevates your products and brings a luxurious feel to your brand.
Postal containers and online business brands
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it typically indicates a request for a return or refund, leaving online brands requiring packaging sturdy enough to arrive intact from the delivery network.
Moreover, bespoke packaging creates a remarkable unboxing experience.
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Maintaining every rearrangement homogeneous
We process every reorder in the same way as a first order, using the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as before.
As order quantities increase, the price per unit falls, with savings already included in the pricing, leaving no discount code to remember.
That same pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand restocked within a quarter, and a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
Even when ordering again a matched item from a different supplier, we complete the same proofing and quality checks required for a completely new design.
Nothing passes merely because it looks like something you already had.
Green procurement from our top packaging location
Each box we manufacture is completely recyclable, which helps reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box harder to recycle. We are also cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
Should a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.
How switching or embarking on works
Please get in touch with us with an rough outline of what you need to pack, where you are based in Kempston, the amount required, and whether an existing supplier needs to be matched.
When you are considering new products or simply wish to evaluate their quality before making a full order, request a sample through our free samples service.
Give approval for the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, aligned it with any existing specification, and confirmed the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery typically take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Kempston addresses get their deliveries within one to two working days after dispatch.
Place a repeat order whenever needed through the same named contact, using the specification held on file.
