From one sample to a full packaging range for a continuing account, one factory and team manage every requirement.
We retain your artwork on file, ensure colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and give you honest advice when a deadline is especially demanding.
A single named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The specification remains consistent because the same person is still responsible.

How do changes take place when wrapping becomes a continuous supplier collaboration with Merton?
A first order mainly concerns the box itself: whether its dimensions are suitable, whether it prints effectively, and whether it is delivered punctually.
A business 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 handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, keeping colour and wall thickness uniform from your first order to every reorder.
The individual providing a quote for your job operates it on the press too!
If a reorder needs clarification, they are the person to contact directly for a straightforward answer.
Why Merton companies go for our company’s packaging options
No minimum spend on anything.
We do not have a minimum order for any item we produce, meaning one sample and a five-hundred-unit reorder follow the identical process.
We have no requirement for a minimum order volume, and we do not add an extra charge simply because your order is small.
This means we grow in step with your Merton business.
As soon as you are ready to develop your business or product line, we will be alongside you throughout every step of your journey!
A dedicated contact from enquiry to delivery
The same person continues handling your account throughout the process, from initial enquiry to delivery, already familiar with your specifications when the time comes to reorder.
You are never put through from one department to another, nor left repeating the details of your job whenever you call.
Generations of internal creation
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK from 1997.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order embody relationships developed over decades, rather than sources newly found for each distinct commission.
We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching does not depend on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The factory makes exactly what appears on the approved proof.
Delivery bespoke to your Merton business
We deliver nationwide, wherever your business is located, whether you need a single sample or a full pallet.
In Merton, 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, one uniform logistics process oversees everything, so delivery continues without change as your order increases.
Custom Creations Built Around Your Item
Some products do not fit within a standard box.
If your item has an irregular shape or challenging dimension, we engineer the structure to fit it exactly. Components requiring separation during transit are built into the structure, rather than fitted later.
Your actual product is where our design journey begins, rather than a specification sheet alone. Before full production starts, a initial sample checks its fit and function.
If the die cut needs modification, we make the necessary changes and create a second sample instead of producing an unusable batch.
Wrapping items from Custom Packaging Studio
Every item of packaging in our collection is made at our own factory, which ensures that the finish selected from a sample is exactly the finish delivered for an order of five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories that finish each order, everything is produced on a single production line.
Crates and box containers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes can hold a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing provided across every panel to help ensure the branding in view regardless of how the container is oriented on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts selling the product prior to being opened.
The standard of the board material and accuracy of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Cardboard postal packets and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and reducing damage caused by a poorly fitting box during transit.
For bigger or bulkier products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts safeguard the contents within.
A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in a single order, making it a suitable choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Wrapping options for any industry
Our high-quality packaging is thoughtfully designed to protect products across a wide range of industries.
Grocery packaging provisions
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is usually the initial requirement food packaging customers enquire about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging is governed by the strictest requirements of all the categories we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s appearance.
Luxury sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the product within.
We work with you to create packaging that elevates your products and brings a luxurious feel to your brand.
Mail cartons for ecommerce retailers
A damaged mailer can trigger a request for a return or refund, so online brands need a box strong enough to pass through the delivery network in one piece.
What’s in addition, bespoke packaging transforms opening your order into a lasting unboxing experience!
Converting an opening into customer loyalty and, occasionally, complimentary online advertising!
Preserving every reorganisation consistently
We manage every reorder precisely as we do a initial order, using the same designated contact, unchanged proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
As your order grows, the per-unit price decreases, with the saving included in the pricing rather than relying on a discount code.
The same pricing model is applicable to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked within a quarter, and even a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
Even when reordering a matched item from another supplier, we perform the same proofing and quality checks needed for a completely new design.
No item passes inspection merely because it resembles something you possess already.
Eco-friendly sourcing from our first-class packaging location
Each box we make is fully recyclable, helping to limit plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t add laminate only for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If you need a sustainability claim to withstand procurement audit scrutiny, we would be pleased to talk it through with you face to face or over the telephone.
How adapting or commencing works
Please contact us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, your location in Merton, the quantity required, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
When you are looking into new products or simply wish to check their quality before placing a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.
Approve the proof after our team finishes the artwork, adheres to any existing specification and confirms the pricing in writing.
Manufacturing and delivery generally take two to three weeks. Most UK and Merton addresses get their orders within one to two working days of being dispatched.
Reorder as needed via the same named contact, with the same specification held on file.
