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 store your artwork files on file, see that colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and give you honest advice when a deadline is especially tight.
A single named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The spec remains unchanged because the same person stays responsible.

Which alterations happen when wrapping becomes a sustained vendor association with Lee-on-the-Solent?
A initial order is really about the box in question: will it fit, print clearly and arrive on time?
A strong supplier relationship proves itself on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you explaining the specification once more.
By overseeing 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 subsequent reorder.
The team member producing your quote will also run your job on the press.
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can contact them directly and receive a honest answer.
Why Lee-on-the-Solent-branded businesses turn to our packing solutions
Zero minimum requirement on each listing
We do not set minimum order quantities on anything we produce, which means one sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow precisely the same process.
We have no minimum volume requirement, and a small order will not incur an additional charge.
This shows we grow with your Lee-on-the-Solent business.
When the time comes to develop your business or broaden your product range, we will stand beside you at every stage of the process.
Sole dedicated contact, from initial enquiry to dispatch
One assigned contact handles your account from initial enquiry through to delivery and understands your requirements when you are ready to order again.
You are never passed between departments, or required to repeat the details of the job to a different person whenever you get in touch.
Decades of internal manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK since 1997.
This background helps ensure that the board and ink suppliers working on your order are established relationships built over decades, rather than found afresh for each individual job.
We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
Whatever you approve on the proof is exactly what leaves the factory!
Supply crafted for your Lee-on-the-Solent enterprise
No matter where your business is based in the country, we send out everything from one sample to a full pallet!
Our collection operation gathers orders from the same factory in Irvine on a regular schedule, regardless of order size or delivery destination in Lee-on-the-Solent.
Whether you need one box sent for approval or several pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery stays unchanged as the order expands.
Custom Solutions Created Focussed on Your Item
Some products do not fit within a standard box.
Where yours has an unusual shape or challenging dimensions, we build the structure around it. Components needing separation during transit receive the same considered approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than fitted afterwards.
Our team of designers evaluates your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample verifies fit and function before production in full gets under way.
Should the die cut call for refinement, we refine it and provide a second sample rather than producing an inappropriate batch.
Wrapping items from Custom Packaging Studio
Every piece of packaging in our range is produced within our own factory, ensuring the finish signed off on your sample is exactly the finish supplied with an order of five hundred.
From tailored packaging designed for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything comes from one production line.
Boxes and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for a broad range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to help keep your branding visible regardless of how the container is arranged on a shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it is even opened.
Premium board material and precise die cutting are every bit as important here as the printing itself.
Recycled cardboard letter parcels and freight packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to fit your product, rather than a standard size, minimising wasted space and damage caused in transit by a badly fitting box.
For more sizeable objects, we create corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts support items placed inside.
A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle whose contents differ each month.
Packing adapted to your area
Our high-quality packaging is carefully designed to support products across a wide range of industries.
Edible packeting materials
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the initial point our food packaging customers ask about, whether they operate a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier branching into retail.
Across every category we supply, food and drink packaging demands the most attention, because safety where packaging meets the product must always come before the box’s appearance.
Prestige field
For cosmetics, a customised insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination complement the product within.
We produce packaging designs that suit your goods, giving your brand a distinctly luxurious feel.
Letter boxes and internet retail companies
A mailer arriving crushed commonly prompts a request for a return or refund, so e-commerce brands require a box designed to withstand the courier network and reach its destination intact.
Additionally, custom-made packaging makes the opening of your order memorable.
Transforming an opportunity into customer loyalty and, sometimes, complimentary online advertising!
Maintaining every reorder standardised
When a reorder comes in, we handle it as a first order, retaining the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
Bigger orders lower the unit cost, with the saving included in the stated price instead of requiring a discount code to be applied.
This pricing model is applied equally to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
Even a matched reorder from a different supplier receives identical proofing and quality checks as those applied to an completely new design.
Nothing is accepted merely because it resembles something you already had.
Eco-friendly procurement from our renowned packaging facility
Every box we create is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not introduce laminate only for a shiny finish if it makes a box harder to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability claim face scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be delighted to talk it through with you in person or by telephone.
How adapting as well as beginning works
Get in touch with us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, where you are located in Lee-on-the-Solent, the number required, and whether we need to match an existing supplier.
When you are looking into new products or simply would like to assess their quality before making a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.
Give approval for the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, aligned it with any existing specification and verified the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery typically take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Lee-on-the-Solent addresses are reached within one to two working days following dispatch.
Reorder as needed via the same named contact, with the same specification held on file.
