From a one-off sample to a full range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one dedicated team handle everything in one place.
We keep your artwork files on file, see that colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and give you honest advice when a deadline is particularly demanding.
One sole contact oversees your query, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder after two years. The specification stays consistent because the same person oversees everything!
For a packaging supplier created to grow alongside your business, reach out to the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio today.
What changes when wrapping evolves into an enduring vendor association?
A first order is primarily about the box itself: will it fit, print well and reach you on time?
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification again from the beginning.
Because we oversee board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, your colour and wall thickness stay uniform from the initial order through every reorder that follows.
The individual who puts together your quotation also manages its production on the press.
Whenever a reorder requires clarification, they are the person you speak to directly, prepared with a straightforward answer.
Why Oxford-led businesses trust our packaging solutions
No minimum spend on each listing
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 do not need a minimum volume before accepting your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This ensures our growth continues to align with your Oxford business.
When you are prepared to develop your business or broaden your product range, we will help you throughout every stage of your journey.
An assigned dedicated contact, from question to final delivery
The same person continues to be responsible for your account from your initial enquiry through to delivery, already aware of your specifications when the time comes to reorder.
You are never passed between departments, or forced to explain the job again to a different person whenever you get in touch.
Years of internal production
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our main company, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That background means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, not new sources found for each incoming job.
As we mix ink and maintain our own board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The factory makes exactly what is shown on the approved proof.
Distribution adapted to your Oxford organisation
We supply across the country, wherever your business is situated, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same factory in Irvine following a set schedule, irrespective of the size of the order or destination within Oxford.
Whether a single box requires couriering for approval or multiple pallets must arrive for a launch date, one logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery remains consistent as orders expand.
Tailor Made Blueprints Built To Suit Your Offering
Some products cannot be accommodated inside a standard box.
If yours has an atypical shape or awkward dimensions, we plan the structure to suit it exactly. Components that require separation during transit receive the same considered treatment, incorporated into the structure from the start rather than being added afterwards.
Our design professionals assess your physical product rather than using only specifications. An early sample verifies fit and operation before any unit moves into full production.
Should the die cut need adjustment, we refine it and produce a second sample rather than making an inappropriate batch.
Packing merchandise from Custom Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our collection is made within our own factory, ensuring the finish signed off on your sample is exactly the finish delivered with an order of five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is produced on a one production line.
Containers and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit many retail and product packaging needs. Printing covers every panel, ensuring the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gift-giving, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid handles much of the selling before being opened.
Premium board material and accurate die cutting are just as important here as the printing itself.
Corrugated mailers and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are created to fit your goods, rather than a uniform size, cutting down on wasted space and damage resulting in transit by a poorly fitted box.
For bigger or heavier products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts safeguard the contents within.
A gusseted box opens out to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Wrapping services for the sector
Our premium packaging is particularly suitable to diverse products across various industries.
Edible packaging essentials
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging is subject to the strictest requirements of every category we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s visual appeal.
Premium grade market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product firmly during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination complement the contents.
We support you in designing packaging that suits your goods, adding a premium feel for your brand.
Postal containers and digital commerce names
When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it typically suggests a request for a return or refund, leaving online brands needing packaging robust enough to remain whole from the courier system.
Additionally, custom-made packaging turns unboxing into a memorable experience.
An opening can lead to customer loyalty and, sometimes, free advertising online.
Keeping every re-arrangement orderly
When a reorder arrives, we process it as a first order, retaining the same named contact, following the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
As larger quantities are ordered, the unit price falls, with savings already included in the pricing, leaving you with no discount code to remember.
The same rates applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
Even when ordering again a matched item from another supplier, we complete the same proofing and quality checks needed for a completely new design.
Nothing is accepted solely because it is intended to imitate something you already had.
Eco-friendly procurement from our first-class packaging site
Each box we make remains 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box harder to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we are pleased to talk it through in person or over the telephone.
