Regardless of your packaging needs, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, are managed by one factory and one dedicated team.
Your artwork remains safely with us, your colours remain true from the first order through the tenth, and we speak plainly whenever a deadline is especially tight.
A the same named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a reorder two years later. The spec remains unchanged because the same person continues to be responsible.
For a packaging supplier designed to grow with your business, get in touch with the welcoming team at Custom Pack Studio today.
How the packing evolves when it becomes a continuing provider collaboration
A first order is primarily about the box in question: will it fit, print clearly and be delivered on time?
A solid supplier relationship demonstrates its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you explaining the specification once more.
By managing board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, we ensure that colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every later reorder.
The individual preparing the quote for your job also runs it on the press.
When a reorder requires clarification, they are the person you speak to directly, prepared with a genuine answer.
Why Manchester-branded businesses opt for our packaging solutions
Zero minimum order on any item
We do not impose a minimum order requirement for anything we produce, so the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We do not need a minimum volume to accept your job, and small orders never incur an additional charge.
This shows that we grow alongside your Manchester business.
As soon as you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will be by your side throughout the entire course of your journey!
A dedicated contact beginning at enquiry to delivery
The same person continues to be responsible for your account throughout the process, from initial enquiry to delivery, already acquainted with your specifications when it is time to reorder.
You are not passed between departments, or forced to explain the job again to a different person whenever you call.
Several years of internal manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our main company, has managed printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, not new sources found for each incoming job.
Since we prepare our own ink and maintain board stock, colour matching does not depend on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The sample you accept is the same as what leaves the factory.
Delivery tailored to the needs of your Manchester company
We supply throughout the country, wherever your business is based, whether you need a single sample or a complete pallet.
In Manchester, our delivery service follows the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, regardless of the order size or destination.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one uniform logistics process manages everything, so delivery remains unchanged as your order grows.
Custom designs made to complement your product
Some products cannot be accommodated within a standard box.
When yours has an unusual shape or difficult dimension, we form the structure to suit it. Components needing separation during transit are built within it, never added later.
Our design experts assess your physical product rather than using only specifications. An early sample verifies fit and operation before any unit moves into full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we modify it and provide another sample rather than producing a batch that is not appropriate.
Packaging items from Custom Pack Studio
Each item in our packaging range is made at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is precisely what you receive when ordering five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that finish off every order, everything is produced on a one production line.
Packages and crates
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes work well for different retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding stays visible wherever containers are positioned.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid helps sell the product before it is even opened!
In this case, quality board and an exact die cut are just as important as the printing itself.
Recycled mailers and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to match your product’s dimensions, reducing void fill and preventing the damage a ill-fitting box can cause during transit.
For heavier or larger items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box opens out to hold several items in one order, making it ideal for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents differ each month.
Packaging solutions for the industry
Our premium packaging is developed to serve a broad selection of products across many industries.
Grocery packing items
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Packaged products for food and beverages must meet the strictest standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety is more important than appearance.
Luxury field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We produce packaging that enhances your items and adds your brand a high-end feel.
Shipping packages for online retailers
A squashed mailer often leads to a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box built to get through the courier network intact.
Additionally, tailored packaging transforms unboxing into a unforgettable experience.
An opening can lead to customer loyalty and, on occasion, free advertising online.
Preserving every reshuffling steadily
We process every reorder in the same way as a first order, retaining the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as before.
The unit cost decreases as the size of the order grows, with those price reductions already factored in the price rather than relying on a discount code you have to remember to enter.
This price structure applies whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand restocked within a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A repeat order from another supplier receives the same proofing process and rigorous quality checks as an completely new design.
No item gets automatic approval simply because it resembles something you already had!
Responsible sourcing from our top packaging facility
Each box we make is 100% recyclable, helping 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 reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
How altering or starting tasks
