What kind of adjustments happen when packaging becomes an ongoing supplier relationship with Lichfield
A first order primarily concerns the box itself: whether its size is suitable, whether it produces a clear print, and whether it is delivered promptly.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification again from the beginning.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through every reorder.
The person who provides a quote for your job also runs it on the press.
When a reorder calls for clarity, they are the person you speak to directly, ready with a straightforward answer.
Why Lichfield businesses prefer our company’s packaging services
There is no minimum quantity on any item.
We do not require a minimum order on all products we make, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units go through the same procedures.
We don’t need a minimum quantity before taking on your job, nor do we add an additional charge simply because your order is small.
This shows we develop in step with your Lichfield enterprise.
When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will be by your side throughout the entire course of your journey!
Sole dedicated contact, from initial enquiry to dispatch
Your assigned contact remains with your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, so they know your spec when you are ready to place another order.
You work with one dedicated team, so you never have to repeat the job to a different person whenever you call.
Several generations of onsite manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has operated printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than sourced afresh for each job.
We blend ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching does not rely on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The facility makes exactly what is approved on the proof.
Shipment adapted to your Lichfield company
We send nationwide to your organisation, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery operation picks up from the same factory in Irvine on a fixed schedule, regardless of order size or destination in Lichfield.
Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one uniform logistics process manages everything, so delivery continues without change as your order increases.
Bespoke creations developed centred on your item
Some products do not fit within a standard box.
Where yours has an irregular shape or awkward dimensions, we build the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit are given the same thoughtful approach, with their protection built into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Our design team uses your actual product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An initial sample checks fit and function before any unit enters full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we adjust it and create a second sample instead of producing an unusable batch.
Packing items by 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.
All items from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories included with an order is produced on one production line.
Packages and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit numerous retail and product packaging needs, with branding displayed on every panel so it remains visible wherever the container is placed on the shelf.
When considering jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product before it is even unwrapped!
The standard of the board and the accuracy of its die cut are just as important here as the printing itself.
Corrugated mailers and despatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are tailored to your product’s dimensions, reducing void fill and helping to prevent the damage an poorly fitting box can cause in transit.
When bulkier items are sent on their way, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts carefully cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box unfolds to hold several items in one order, making it ideal for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Packaging customised to your field
Our top-quality packaging is created to accommodate a wide variety of products across many industries.
Food wrapping components
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is typically the first requirement food packaging customers ask about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging is held to the strictest requirements of every category we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s visual appeal.
Upscale arena
For jewellery and cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam recess stops movement during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We help you develop packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a high-end feel.
Mail cartons for internet retailers
A crushed mailer commonly prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box built to endure the courier network and reach its destination intact.
What’s more, bespoke packaging turns opening your order into a memorable unboxing experience!
Converting an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Maintaining each re-arrangement steady
When a reorder is received, we treat it as a first order, keeping the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
As your order gets larger, the unit cost falls, with savings already reflected in the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
The same rates applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for large-volume delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier goes through the same proofing process and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Nothing is accepted without careful review merely because it is designed to resemble something you already had.
Responsible procurement from our first-class packaging unit
Each box we create is 100% recyclable, helping cut down on plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely 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 your sustainability claim need to withstand a procurement audit, we would be pleased to talk it through with you in person or over the phone.
How switching and commencing runs
