From a one-off sample to a full range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one committed team bring everything together.
We store your artwork securely on file, reproduce your colours just as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you straight away if a deadline looks tight.
A dedicated representative oversees your enquiry, manufacturing and dispatch, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. Because they remain involved, the specification stays the same.

What modifications emerge when packaging becomes an enduring supplier relationship with Margate
A first order is primarily about the box in question: will it fit, print well and arrive on time?
A trading relationship shows its value on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification from scratch.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through each reorder.
The person providing a quote for your job operates it on the press as well!
Questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a clear, genuine answer.
Here’s Why Margate businesses opt for Our packing solutions
No minimum spend on anything.
We have no a minimum order for any products we make, so a single sample and a reorder of five hundred units go through the same process.
We do not need a minimum volume before taking on your work, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This shows that we grow together with your Margate business.
When the time arrives to develop your business or product line, we will help you at each stage.
One identified point of contact from initial query to final delivery
A single dedicated contact manages your account from enquiry to delivery and is familiar with your specification when you are ready to order again.
You are never passed from one department to another, nor left repeating the details of your job each time you call.
Generations of in-house manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.
This background helps ensure that the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than sourced anew for each incoming job.
We blend our own ink and hold board stock ourselves, so colour matching is never reliant on a third-party printer understanding your instructions.
The factory produces exactly what appears on the approved proof.
Shipping designed for your Margate firm
No matter where your business is located in the country, we deliver everything from one sample to a complete pallet!
In Margate, our delivery service keeps to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, regardless of the order size or destination.
Whether a lone box requires couriering for approval or several pallets must arrive for a launch date, one logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery remains reliable as orders expand.
Custom Creations Crafted Focussed on Your Goods
Not every product is suitable to a standard box.
If yours has an irregular shape or unusual dimension, we create the structure to accommodate it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated in the same way, incorporated into the structure instead of being added later.
Our design team reviews your actual product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample verifies fit and function before full production gets under way.
If the die cut requires refinement, we adjust it and provide another sample instead of creating a batch that is unsuitable.
Boxing goods from Custom Pack Workshop
All packaging in our range is manufactured at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging designed for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything emerges from one production line.
Packages and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes serve numerous retail and product packaging needs, with branding displayed on every panel so it stays visible wherever the container rests on the shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid can begin selling the product before it has even been opened.
The quality of the board and the precision of its die cut are just as important here as the printing itself.
Cardboard letter envelopes and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to match your product’s dimensions rather than a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and reducing damage resulting from a poorly fitting box in transit.
For heavier or larger items, we make full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts shield and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box expands to fit multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle whose contents vary each month.
Packaging services for every business
Our top-tier packaging is well suited to a wide range of products across many industries.
Catering packaging materials
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first aspect our food packaging customers want to know about, whether they run a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets our highest requirements, because product-contact safety is more important than the box’s appearance.
Luxury sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam cavity holds products securely during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the contents.
We support you in developing packaging that suits your items, adding a premium feel for your company.
Postal packages for internet stores
A crushed mailer often prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box designed to withstand the courier network intact.
Additionally, custom-made packaging turns unboxing into a unforgettable experience.
Transforming an opening into loyal customers and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Maintaining every reorder in line
We handle 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 before.
The unit cost reduces as the order size rises, with those price reductions already included in the price rather than depending on a discount code you have to remember to enter.
The same pricing model is applicable to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked within a quarter, and even a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder sourced from another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as a new design.
Everything is reviewed independently, even when made to look like something you had owned previously.
Sustainable procurement from our top packaging plant
Every box we make is fully recyclable, helping to minimise both plastic waste and waste sent to landfill.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to stand up to procurement audit scrutiny, we would be delighted to discuss it with you face to face or over the telephone.
How switching or initiating happens
Please contact us with an general description of what you need to pack, your location in Margate, the amount needed, and whether we need to match an existing supplier.
Request a sample through our free samples service when evaluating new products or assessing quality before committing with a full order.
Give approval for the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, aligned it with any existing specification, and confirmed the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery generally take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Margate addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
Reorder as required through the same named contact, using the specification on file.
