From one sample to a complete packaging range for a long-term account, one factory and team manage every requirement.
We keep your artwork on file, reproduce colours on your tenth reorder as accurately as on the first, and speak plainly when deadlines are tight.
One sole contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder after two years. The specification stays consistent because the same person oversees everything!

How packing evolves when it develops into a long-term supplier association
When that initial order comes in, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it reaches you on time.
A supplier relationship is confirmed on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification again from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness stay consistent from your first order to every reorder.
The individual quoting your job also runs it on the press.
If any aspect of a reorder requires clarification, you can speak to them directly and get a honest answer.
The motives behind why Pontefract businesses go for our packaging offerings
No minimum order on any item.
There’s no minimum order for any item we produce, so one sample or a reorder of five hundred units follows exactly the same process!
We have no minimum volume requirement, and a small order will not incur an additional charge.
This shows we grow alongside your Pontefract business.
When the time comes to develop your business or product line, we will help you throughout the process.
One assigned liaison, from inquiry to delivery
The same designated contact looks after your account from first enquiry through to delivery, already knowing your specification when you are ready to place another order.
You are never transferred between teams, or required to repeat the details of the job to a different person whenever you get in touch.
Several decades of on-site manufacturing
Since 1997, our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run printing presses in the UK.
That history means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are established contacts built over decades, not new sources found for each incoming job.
We blend our own ink and hold board stock ourselves, so colour matching never depends on a third-party printer interpreting your instructions.
The version approved on the proof is precisely what leaves the plant.
Despatch tailored to your Pontefract company
We supply throughout the country, wherever your business is based, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery operation gathers orders from the same factory in Irvine on a set schedule, regardless of the size of the order or destination in Pontefract.
Whether you need a single box sent for approval or a number of pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery stays consistent as the order expands.
Tailor Made Designs Crafted to Suit Your Item
Not every product is well suited to a standard box.
If your item has an irregular shape or difficult dimension, we design the structure to fit it exactly. Components that need separating for transit are built into the structure, rather than added subsequently.
Our design specialists review your physical product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An initial sample verifies fit and performance before any item proceeds to full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we revise it and provide a second sample instead of producing an unusable batch.
Packaging products from Custom Packaging Studio
Every item of packaging in our range is made at our own site, meaning that the finish approved from a sample is identically the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
Everything from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is produced on one production line.
Cases and containers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit various retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers sit.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product before it is even revealed!
The quality of the board material and accuracy of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Cardboard postage mailers and despatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to suit your product’s measurements, reducing surplus void fill and reducing the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause in transit.
For bulkier or bigger items, we manufacture full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box opens out to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it a suitable choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Packing designed to each industry
Our high-quality packaging is perfect for a wide variety of products and industries!
Food packaging materials
Our BRC Global Packaging certification covers the High Hygiene level. It is typically the first assurance food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Of all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the highest level of care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always come before the box’s appearance.
Elite division
For jewellery and cosmetics, a bespoke insert or foam recess stops movement in transit, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We produce packaging designs that complement your items, giving your brand a noticeably luxurious feel.
Postal parcels and e-commerce brands
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it typically signals a request for a return or refund, leaving online brands needing packaging durable enough to arrive intact from the courier system.
Additionally, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a memorable experience.
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, from time to time, unpaid online advertising!
Keeping every reorder uniformly
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.
As order quantities rise, the unit price decreases, with the savings already reflected in the pricing, leaving you without a discount code to remember.
The same pricing covers twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished over the course of a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
Even when reordering a matched item from another supplier, we complete the same proofing and quality checks required for a completely new design.
Everything is reviewed separately, even when created to resemble something you had owned previously.
Eco-friendly sourcing from our leading packaging location
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, contributing to a reduction in 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 moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If a sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we are pleased to talk it through in person or over the telephone.
