Sustainable Packaging for Small Businesses
Packaging Supplier Kendal

Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee the entire process.

We hold on to your artwork, replicate your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you frankly when a deadline is demanding.

A dedicated contact oversees your enquiry, production and dispatch, from the first sample to a repeat order after two years. Because they remain part of the process, the specification stays unchanged.

For a packaging supplier created to grow with your business, get in touch with the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio now.

What differences happen when packing becomes a sustained vendor alliance involving Kendal?

A initial order primarily tests the box itself: whether it fits, prints correctly and arrives on schedule.

A relationship with a supplier shows its worth on the sixth order, when an matching product calls for matching colour and fit, without making you restate the specification from the beginning.

Because we oversee board stock and ink mixing inside our own factory, your colour and wall thickness stay uniform from the initial order through every reorder that follows.

The person quoting your job runs it on the press as well!

Should a reorder need further explanation, they are the person to contact directly for a clear, genuine answer.

Reasons Kendal businesses select Our packaging solutions

Zero minimum purchase on any item

We do not impose a minimum order for anything we produce, meaning a single sample and a five-hundred-unit reorder follow the same process.

We do not require a minimum volume to accept your job, and small orders never attract an additional charge.

This means we develop with your Kendal business.

When you are ready to grow your business or extend your product range, we will be there for you at all stages of the journey.

Sole specific liaison from enquiry to fulfilment

The same designated contact manages your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, already understanding your specification when you are ready to order again.

You are never moved between departments or expected to explain the job again to a new member of the team whenever you call.

Generations of in-house creation

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

This background ensures that the board and ink suppliers working on your order are reliable relationships cultivated over decades, rather than newly sourced for each incoming job.

We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching does not depend on a third party printer interpreting your brief.

The proof that you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.

Delivery tailored with your Kendal firm

We ship nationwide to your organisation, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.

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

Whether a single box must be couriered for sign-off or several pallets need scheduling around a launch date, one single logistics process coordinates everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.

Made-to-order layouts developed for your item.

Not each product is suitable to a regular box.

If yours has an atypical shape or unusual dimension, we build the structure to accommodate it. Components requiring separation during transit are handled similarly, incorporated into the structure instead of being attached at a later stage.

Our design specialists review your physical product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An first sample confirms fit and performance before any item moves into full production.

Should the die cut need adjustment, we revise it and supply a second sample rather than creating an unsuitable batch.

Luminae Packaging - Custom Pack Studio

Packaging items from Personalised Pack Studio

All packaging in our range is made at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample matches the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.

All items from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is made on one production line.

Packages and packing boxes

Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit a diverse range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to help keep your branding in view regardless of how the container is arranged on a shelf.

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

Premium quality board material and an accurate die cut are just as important here as the print itself.

Recycled mailers and delivery packaging

Postal mailer boxes are designed to suit your product’s measurements, minimising surplus void fill and limiting the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause in transit.

For bulkier or heavier items, we make full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts keep the contents safely cushioned inside.

A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in a single order, making it a suitable choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.

Packing customised to your own field

Our quality packaging is well-suited to numerous products across various industries.

Food packaging basics

We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is usually the first thing food packaging customers enquire about, from smaller bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.

Food and drink packaging meets the strictest requirements across all the products we supply, as keeping products safe in contact is far more important than the appearance of the box.

Premium arena

For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity holds products securely in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the contents.

We assist you create packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a premium feel.

Mail box for e-commerce labels

A damaged mailer often triggers a request for a return or refund, making robust packaging essential for e commerce brands that need boxes to endure the courier network and arrive intact.

Additionally, bespoke packaging provides a remarkable unboxing experience.

An opening can become customer loyalty and, sometimes, free advertising online.

Preserving all reordering in regularity

We process every reorder precisely as we do a initial order, using the same designated contact, unchanged proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used before.

As order quantities rise, the unit price falls, with savings already included in the pricing, leaving you without a discount code to remember.

The identical pricing structure is applicable to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, and even a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.

Even a matched reorder from a different supplier is given identical proofing and quality checks as those applied to an entirely new design.

Everything is evaluated independently, even when designed to look like something you owned before.

Eco-friendly sourcing from our renowned packaging facility

Each box we create is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.

We will avoid adding laminate just to create a glossy finish if this makes a box harder to recycle, and we are phasing out single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.

If a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you either in person or by telephone.

How altering as well as commencing operates

Please get in touch us with an rough outline of the items you need packed, where you are located in Kendal, the amount required, and whether an existing supplier needs to be matched.

If you are testing new products or wish to assess their quality before placing a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.

Give approval for the proof after our team has produced the artwork, aligned it with any existing specification, and confirmed the pricing in writing.

Production and delivery generally require two to three weeks, while most UK and Kendal addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.

Place a repeat order when necessary through that same named contact, using the specification held on file.
