From one sample to a full packaging range for a continuing account, one factory and team handle every requirement.
We keep your artwork on file, match your colours on your tenth reorder just as on the first, and tell you honestly when a deadline is tight.
A single contact oversees your request, production and dispatch, from the initial sample to a repeat order two years later. Because they remain involved throughout, the specification stays consistent.
For a packaging supplier created to expand with your business, get in touch with the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio now.
Which changes arise if packaging becomes an ongoing supplier partnership
An initial order is chiefly about the box itself: whether its size is suitable, whether it produces a clear print, and whether it is delivered promptly.
A supplier relationship becomes important on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification again from the beginning.
By managing 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 later reorder.
The person who quotes your job also runs it on the press.
When a reorder calls for clarity, they are the person you contact directly, ready with a honest answer.
The motives behind why Kirkby-in-Ashfield businesses go for our company’s packaging offerings
No minimum requirement on every item
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, so the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We do not require a minimum volume to accept your job, and small orders never attract an additional charge.
This means we grow alongside your Kirkby-in-Ashfield business.
When you are ready to grow your business or broaden your product range, we will support you at each stage of the process.
One dedicated contact, from request to fulfilment
The same designated contact looks after your account from first enquiry through to delivery, already understanding your specification when you are ready to reorder.
You are never passed from one department to another, nor left repeating the details of your job every time you call.
Many generations of on-site manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, the parent company of our business, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.
That heritage indicates the board and ink suppliers working on your order represent relationships established over decades, rather than sources newly found for each individual commission.
Because we prepare ink and keep board stock in house, colour matching never depends on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
Whatever you approve on the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Delivery designed according to your Kirkby-in-Ashfield business
Wherever your business calls its base across the country, we deliver from one sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up each order from the same Irvine factory according to the same schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
Whether a single box must be sent by courier for approval or multiple pallets need scheduling around a launch date, one single logistics process coordinates everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order grows.
Tailored layouts created for your offering
Some products simply do not fit into a standard box.
When yours features an unusual shape or awkward dimension, we form the structure to embrace it. Components requiring separation during transit are integrated within it, never added later.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a first sample checks its fit and function.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we amend it and provide another sample rather than producing a batch that is not appropriate.
Packaging products from Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is manufactured at our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
From tailored packaging for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is produced on a single production line.
Boxes and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit numerous retail and product packaging needs, with every panel printed to keep your branding in view wherever the container stands on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid can begin selling the product before it is even opened.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are equally important as the print itself.
Recycled mailers and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to suit your product’s dimensions, helping to reduce void fill and helping to prevent the damage a poorly fitted box can cause in transit.
When larger items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts softly cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle whose contents change each month.
Wrapping approaches for your trade
Our premium packaging is well suited for a broad range of products and industries!
Gourmet packing materials
We have High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, frequently the first detail food packaging customers ask about, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets our strictest requirements, because safety when touching the product comes before the box’s appearance.
Upscale field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the product within.
We help create packaging that complements your items and gives your brand a high-end feel.
Postal boxes and digital commerce brands
When a mailer arrives at its destination crushed, it often results in a return or refund request, making durable packaging necessary for ecommerce brands operating across courier networks.
Furthermore, tailored packaging turns unboxing into a unforgettable experience.
Transforming an opening into loyal customers and, occasionally, complimentary online advertising!
Sustaining all reorder reliably
We process every reorder as we would a first order, retaining the same named contact and proofing process, while sourcing the board and ink from the same suppliers as previously.
As order quantities rise, the price per unit falls, with the savings already reflected in the pricing, leaving you with no discount code to remember.
This pricing structure applies in the same way to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
Even when ordering again a matched item from a different supplier, we carry out the same proofing and quality checks needed for a brand-new design.
Nothing passes simply because it is similar to something you already possessed.
Eco-friendly procurement from our premier packaging unit
Every box we manufacture is fully recyclable, helping to cut down on plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add 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 face scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.
How changing versus starting functions

Sign off on the proof after our team completes the artwork, matches any existing specification and sets out the pricing in writing.
