How do shifts emerge when packaging becomes an sustained supplier relationship with Lancaster
A first order largely evaluates the box itself: whether it fits, prints accurately and arrives on schedule.
A strong supplier relationship proves itself on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you explaining the specification from scratch.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our very own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through all subsequent reorders.
The person providing a quote for your job operates it on the press too!
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can speak to them directly and get a honest answer.
The Reason Lancaster businesses choose Our packaging solutions
Absolutely no minimum purchase on the whole selection.
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, meaning 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 incur an additional charge.
As a result, our growth continues to align with your Lancaster business.
When the time arrives to grow your business or product line, we will help you throughout the process.
One single named contact starting from enquiry to delivery
One dedicated contact oversees your account from initial enquiry through to delivery and is familiar with your specification when you are ready to order again.
You will not be passed between departments or made to explain the job again to someone new when you ring.
Several eras of internal manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are reliable partners built over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
We blend our own ink and hold board stock ourselves, so colour matching never depends on a third-party printer understanding your instructions.
The proof you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.
Shipping tailored for your Lancaster enterprise
We deliver nationwide, wherever your business is located, from a single sample to a full pallet.
In Lancaster, our delivery service keeps to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, whatever the order size or destination.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process oversees everything, ensuring delivery stays unchanged as the order expands.
Bespoke Layouts Created Centred on Your Item
Some products cannot be accommodated inside a standard box.
If yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimension, we build the structure to suit it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated in the same way, incorporated into the structure instead of being fitted afterwards.
Our design experts review your physical product rather than using only specifications. An first sample verifies fit and operation before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we revise it and create a second sample instead of making an unusable batch.
Wrapping goods by Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our collection is made at our own site, meaning that the finish selected from a sample is exactly the finish provided for an order of five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories completing an order, everything is produced on one production line.
Packages and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes work well for different retail and product packaging, with each panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers sit.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid handles much of the selling before it is even opened.
The quality of the board and the accuracy of its die cut are equally important here as the printing itself.
Paperboard post mailers and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to your product’s dimensions, minimising void fill and avoiding the damage an ill fitting box can cause in transit.
For larger or heavier products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts protect the contents within.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents vary each month.
Wrapping options for the industry
Our high-quality packaging is meticulously designed to accommodate products across a wide range of industries.
Catering packing items
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, often serving as the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Of all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the highest level of care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always take priority over the box’s appearance.
Prestige field
When jewellery and cosmetics travel, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product securely, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We assist you develop packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a luxurious feel.
Mail packages for ecommerce brands
A squashed mailer can lead to a request for a return or refund, so e commerce brands need a box strong enough to make its way through the courier network undamaged.
Furthermore, custom-made packaging turns opening the package into a remarkable unboxing experience.
Converting an opening into customer loyalty and, on occasion, free online advertising.
Ensuring every reshuffle uniform
Your repeat order gets exactly the same treatment as your first order. That includes the same named contact, identical proofing process, and board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
As your order increases in size, the per-unit price falls, with the saving built into the pricing rather than relying on a discount code.
This pricing model covers equally twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder provided by a different supplier is put through the same proofing and quality checks as a brand-new design.
No item passes inspection simply because it looks like something you already own.
Eco-friendly sourcing from our main packaging site
Every box we produce is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely to create a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, and we are phasing out single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If your sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you in person or over the phone.
