From a single sample to a full range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one committed team handle everything in one place.
Your artwork remains safely with us, your colours remain true from the first order through the tenth, and we communicate clearly whenever a deadline is especially tight.
A the same named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person stays responsible.

What differs when packaging turns into an ongoing supplier alliance?
An initial order mainly concerns the box itself: whether its measurements are appropriate, whether it prints well, and whether it arrives on time.
A supplier relationship shows its value on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification all over again.
By overseeing board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, we ensure that colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every subsequent reorder.
The team member producing your quote will as well operate your job on the press.
If any aspect of a reorder requires clarification, you can speak to them directly and receive a honest answer.
The Reason Kirkby businesses choose Our packing services
No minimum purchase on everything.
We do not impose a minimum order requirement for anything we produce, meaning the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We do not require a minimum order volume, and we don’t add an extra charge simply because your order is small.
In turn, we grow together with your Kirkby business.
Once you are ready to develop your business or product line, we will support you through every stage of your journey.
Single exclusive contact, from enquiry until delivery
The same person continues handling your account from your initial enquiry through to delivery, already aware of your specifications when you come to reorder.
You will not be transferred between departments or left having to explain the job again to someone new when you ring.
Years of in-house manufacturing
Our group company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has been operating presses in the UK from 1997.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers helping with your order embody relationships built over decades, rather than sources newly located for every separate commission.
As we mix ink and hold board stock in house, colour matching never depends on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
What you approve on the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Distribution personalised to your Kirkby business
Wherever your business calls home across the country, we supply from one sample to a full pallet.
Each order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory according to a single schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Kirkby.
Whether you require a single box submitted for approval or multiple pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order grows.
Tailor Made Solutions Crafted Focussed on Your Goods
Certain products simply do not sit into a standard box.
If your item has an atypical shape or challenging dimension, we engineer the structure to fit it precisely. Components that need separating during transit are built into the structure, rather than fitted later.
Our team of designers works directly with your actual product rather than depending entirely on a spec sheet. The first sample assesses fit and function before complete production starts.
If the die cut needs adjusting, we adjust it and send another sample instead of making a batch that does not work.
Packing merchandise with the help of Custom Pack Studio
Every item in our packaging range is produced at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is the exact finish you receive when ordering five hundred.
All items from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is made on one production line.
Containers and wrappers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to keep your branding in view regardless of how the container is placed on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid helps sell the product before it is even revealed!
Superior board material and precise die cutting are just as important here as the printing itself.
Cardboard packaging sleeves and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s measurements, reducing surplus void fill and limiting the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause in transit.
For larger or more substantial items, we manufacture full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts keep the contents safely cushioned inside.
A gusseted box increases in capacity to hold multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that differ each month.
Wrapping customised to each business area
Our reliable packaging is appropriate for many products across various industries.
Edible packaging fundamentals
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Packaging for food and beverages must meet the strictest standards of every category we supply, because safety during product contact is more important than appearance.
Top-Tier level market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product securely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the contents.
We assist you in developing packaging that suits your goods, creating a premium feel for your brand.
Post cartons for digital brands
A damaged mailer can trigger a request for a return or refund, so e commerce brands need a box tough enough to make its way through the courier network in one piece.
In addition, bespoke packaging turns opening the parcel into a lasting unboxing experience.
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, occasionally, complimentary online advertising.
Keeping every reshuffle steadily
Your reorder is given exactly the same treatment as your first order. That means the same named contact, identical proofing process, and board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
Bigger orders bring down the unit cost, with the reduction included in the stated price rather than requiring a discount code to be applied.
That identical pricing structure covers twenty boxes, a few thousand restocked within a quarter, and a pallet reserved for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier undergoes the same proofing process and quality checks as a completely new design.
No item is approved without examination just because it is intended to resemble something you already owned.
Eco-friendly procurement from our premier packaging site
Each box we manufacture is entirely recyclable, helping to reduce both plastic waste and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate purely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
Should a sustainability statement call for examination during a procurement audit, we would be happy to review it with you in person or by telephone.
How shifting or commencing works
Get in touch with us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, where you are based in Kirkby, the quantity required, and whether we need to match an existing supplier.
Request a sample through our free samples service when testing new products or assessing quality before placing a full order.
Approve the proof after our team has created the artwork, matched it to any existing specification and confirmed the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery typically require two to three weeks, while most UK and Kirkby addresses receive deliveries within one to two working days after dispatch.

Find the perfect 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 beginning with a blank page.
Starting from the beginning is equally effective.
Provide an approximate description of your packing needs and how many you need by telephone, or begin the design process with our online design tool before ordering. We will promptly send a written quotation, with no obligation to proceed.
Your first order includes a no-cost sample, and so does the day an existing account moves to us. No matter which option you select, the person putting together your quotation will still be looking after your account in two years’ time.
Regardless of your business location, we send throughout the UK directly to Kirkby from the very same Irvine factory.
