Sustainable Packaging for Small Businesses
Packaging Supplier Middlesbrough

Whatever your packaging requirements, from an individual sample to a complete range of products for a continuing account, are overseen by one factory and one dedicated team.

We retain 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 appears challenging.

One named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from your initial sample through to a reorder two years later. Your spec stays the same because the same person manages the entire process.

For a packaging supplier created to develop with your business, contact the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio now.

How shifts happen if packing transforms into an enduring provider partnership

A initial order largely evaluates the box itself: whether it fits, prints accurately and arrives as scheduled.

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 once more.

We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness stay consistent from your first order through every reorder.

The person who provides a quote for your job also runs it on the press.

Whenever a reorder requires clarification, they are the person you speak to directly, ready with a honest answer.

Why Middlesbrough companies go for our company’s packaging solutions

No minimum order on anything.

We do not require a minimum order for all items we produce, so a single sample and a reorder of five hundred units follow the same process.

We do not require a minimum quantity before taking on your job, nor do we apply an extra charge simply because your order is limited.

This shows we grow with your Middlesbrough business.

When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will support you along your journey.

One personal contact, from enquiry up to delivery

A single designated contact oversees your account from the initial enquiry to delivery, retaining a clear understanding of your specification when you are ready to place another order.

You will not be transferred between departments or left having to explain the job again to someone new each time you call.

Many years of in-house manufacturing

Our group company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.

That background shows the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are long-standing contacts developed over decades, rather than found anew for each job.

We blend ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer understanding your brief.

The proof that you approve is exactly what leaves the factory.

Shipping tailored to your Middlesbrough firm

We ship nationwide, wherever your business is located, from a one sample to a full pallet.

In Middlesbrough, our delivery service keeps to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, regardless of the order size or destination.

Whether you need a single box provided for approval or several pallets scheduled for a launch date, the same logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery continues in the same way as the order increases.

Custom designs created to suit your product

Some products do not sit within a standard box.

When yours has an uncommon shape or challenging dimensions, we engineer the structure to accommodate it. Components that require separation during transit are treated with the same care, being built into the structure instead of being added afterwards.

Our design specialists review your physical product rather than relying solely on specifications. An early sample checks fit and operation before any unit proceeds to full production.

Should the die cut require refinement, we revise it and supply a second sample rather than making an unfit batch.

Luminae Packaging - Custom Pack Studio

Wrapping goods from Custom Pack Studio

All packaging in our range is produced 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.

Whether it is custom packaging for a specific product line or the accessories that complete an order, it is all produced on one production line.

Cases and packages

Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for many retail packaging requirements. Printing covers every panel, helping ensure the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.

For gifts and jewellery, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it has even been opened.

Premium board material and accurate die cutting are every bit as important here as the printing itself.

Corrugated packaging sleeves and postal packaging

Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and reducing damage resulting from a poorly fitting box during transit.

For heavier or bulkier items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts keep the contents safely cushioned inside.

A gusseted box increases in capacity to hold multiple items in one order, making it particularly suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.

Wrapping solutions for any sector

Our high-quality packaging is ideally suited to a wide range of products across numerous industries.

Meal wrapping supplies

We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the initial point our food packaging customers enquire about, whether they operate a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier branching into retail.

Of all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the greatest care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always precede the box’s appearance.

Prestige industry

When jewellery and cosmetics travel, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product safely, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect what lies within.

We develop packaging designs that enhance your goods, bringing your brand a distinctly luxurious feel.

Post boxes for online firms

When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it typically suggests a return or refund request, leaving online brands requiring packaging durable enough to arrive intact from the delivery network.

Additionally, custom-made packaging turns opening your order into a memorable experience.

Converting an opportunity into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising!

Sustaining all reordering in uniformity

We handle every reorder as we would a first order, keeping the same named contact and proofing process, while sourcing the board and ink from the same suppliers as previously.

As larger quantities are ordered, the price per unit falls, with the savings already reflected in the pricing, leaving no discount code to remember.

This pricing approach is applied equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.

Even when reordering a matched item from a different supplier, we perform the same proofing and quality checks required for a brand-new design.

Every piece is assessed independently, even when made to match something you owned before.

Ethical sourcing from our premier packaging plant

Each box we make is entirely recyclable, helping to limit plastic and landfill waste.

We will not add laminate purely 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 across the range.

If a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.

How swapping or beginning operates

Please get in touch us with an general summary of what you need to pack, where you are based in Middlesbrough, the quantity required, and whether an existing supplier needs to be matched.

If you are considering new products or wish to assess their quality before placing a complete order, you can request a sample via our complimentary samples service.

Authorise the proof after our team has created the artwork, checked against any existing spec and verified pricing in writing.

Manufacturing and delivery normally take two to three weeks. Most UK and Middlesbrough addresses get their orders within one to two working days of dispatch.

When necessary, place a repeat order through the same named contact using the same specification held on file.

Beginning afresh is just as successful.

Your first sample is provided at no cost, and it is also provided at no cost when an existing account transfers to us. In both cases, the person providing your quotation will still be the same person managing your account in two years.
