Regardless of your packaging needs, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, are managed by one factory and one dedicated team.
We retain your artwork on file, match your colours on your tenth reorder as we did on the first, and tell you honestly when a deadline is tight.
One sole contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The specification remains consistent because the same person handles everything!

What kind of changes take place when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Kettering
When that initial order arrives, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it reaches you by the expected time.
A supplier relationship builds trust by order six, when an identical product needs the same colour and fit, without needing the specification again.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every reorder.
The person who quotes your job also runs it on the press.
If something about a reorder requires clarification, speak to them directly for a clear, genuine answer.
How come Kettering businesses go for our company’s packaging packages
There is no minimum purchase on any product.
We do not require a minimum order for anything we produce, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through the same process.
We have no requirement for a minimum order volume, and we never add an extra charge simply because your order is small.
This shows that we develop alongside your Kettering business.
When the time arrives to expand your business or product line, we will help you at each stage.
One personal contact, starting from enquiry up to delivery
One dedicated contact handles your account from enquiry right through to delivery and is familiar with your specification when you are ready to reorder.
You speak to one regular team, so you are not required to explain the job again to a different person when you call.
Countless years of in-house manufacturing
Our holding company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK from 1997.
This longstanding history means that the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than newly sourced for each incoming job.
As we prepare the ink and maintain our own board stock, your colour match does not rely on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.
Whatever you approve on the proof is exactly what leaves the factory!
Shipment personalised for your Kettering enterprise
We ship nationwide to your business, whether you need a single sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service collects from the same factory in Irvine following a consistent schedule, regardless of order size or destination within Kettering.
Whether a lone box needs couriering for approval or multiple pallets need to arrive for a launch date, one logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery remains reliable as orders grow.
Personalised Solutions Created Focussed on Your Product
Not each product is well suited to a typical box.
Where yours has an unusual shape or unusual dimensions, we build the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same thoughtful approach, with their protection built into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Our design experts evaluate your physical product rather than depending entirely on specifications. An initial sample confirms fit and operation before any unit enters full production.
If the die cut needs altering, we amend it and provide another sample rather than creating a batch that is unsuitable.
Boxing items through Custom Pack Studio
Each item in our packaging range is made at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is precisely what you receive when ordering five hundred.
From tailored packaging for a single product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is manufactured on a single production line.
Containers and packaging cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for many retail and packaging demands. Printing extends across every panel, ensuring the branding remains visible whatever way the container sits on a shelf.
For 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 standard of the board material and accuracy of the die cutting are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are created to fit your product, rather than a uniform size, minimising wasted space and damage resulting in transit by a ill-fitting box.
For weightier or more sizeable items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box folds out to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle whose contents differ each month.
Wrapping designed to your industry
Our top-tier packaging is meticulously designed to accommodate products across a diverse range of industries.
Meal packaging fundamentals
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is generally the first requirement food packaging customers ask about, from smaller bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging is held to the most stringent requirements of every category we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s visual appeal.
Luxury market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product safely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination complement the contents.
We work with you to create packaging that enhances your products and adds a luxurious feel to your brand.
Letter box and ecommerce names
A mailer arriving crushed frequently leads to a request for a return or refund, so e-commerce brands require a box built to endure the courier network and arrive intact.
Furthermore, tailored packaging transforms unboxing into a memorable experience.
Turning an opening into loyal customers and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Maintaining every reorganisation continuously
When a reorder comes in, we treat it as a first order, retaining the same named contact, following the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
The cost per unit decreases as the quantity ordered rises, with those price reductions already factored in the price rather than relying on a discount code you must remember to apply.
This pricing approach is applicable whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from a different supplier undergoes the same proofing process and quality checks as a completely new design.
No item gets approved automatically merely because it looks like something you already had!
Green procurement from our foremost packaging centre
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable, contributing to a reduction in plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If your sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we would be delighted to talk it through with you in person or by phone.
How modifying or commencing performs
Contact us with an approximate description of what you need to package, your whereabouts in Kettering, the needed quantity, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
If you are trying new products or would like to evaluate their quality before placing a full order, request a sample through our free samples service.
Sign off on the proof after our team has completed the artwork, matched any existing spec and confirmed pricing in writing.
Manufacturing and delivery generally require two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Kettering addresses get their orders within one to two working days following dispatch.
Place another order as needed via the same named contact, with the same specification held on file.
