From one sample to a complete packaging range for a long-term account, one factory and team handle every requirement.
We keep your artwork on file, match colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and communicate clearly when deadlines are tight.
A named contact oversees your request, manufacturing and dispatch, from the first sample to a repeat order after two years. Because they remain involved, the specification stays the same.

Which differences arise when wrapping becomes a sustained provider association with Portsmouth?
Once that first order arrives, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it gets to you on time.
A supplier relationship demonstrates its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification from scratch.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order to every reorder.
The person who produces your quotation likewise manages its production on the press.
Should a reorder need clarification, they are the person to speak to directly for a clear, honest answer.
How come Portsmouth businesses prefer our packaging solutions
There is no minimum order on any product.
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, so the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We don’t require a minimum order volume, and we don’t add an extra charge just because your order is small.
This means, we grow with your Portsmouth enterprise.
When you are prepared to develop your business or extend your product range, we will support you during every stage of your journey.
One dedicated contact from enquiry to delivery
The same dedicated personal contact manages your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, already understanding your specification when you are ready to reorder.
You deal with one consistent team, so you are not required to explain the job again to a new member of the team whenever you call.
Generations of on-site manufacturing
From 1997, our parent business, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are established contacts developed over decades, not new sources identified for each incoming job.
Since we produce our own ink and maintain board stock, colour matching does not depend on a third party printer deciphering your brief.
The design proof you sign off on is precisely what leaves the production facility.
Delivery designed to suit your Portsmouth business
We ship nationwide to your organisation, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same factory in Irvine following a consistent schedule, irrespective of the size of the order or location within Portsmouth.
Whether you require a one box sent for approval or multiple pallets planned around a launch date, one logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery continues in the same way as the order increases.
Custom designs created to complement your item
Certain products do not sit within a regular box.
Where yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimensions, we design the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same considered approach, with their protection incorporated into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Our design department collaborates directly with your actual product rather than relying solely on a spec sheet. The first sample assesses fit and function before full production begins.
If the die cut needs refining, we update it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that does not meet requirements.
Wrapping goods from Custom Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our collection is produced at our own site, meaning that the finish selected from a sample is precisely the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories finishing an order, everything is manufactured on one production line.
Cartons and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit numerous retail and product packaging needs, with branding printed on every panel so it remains visible wherever the container rests on the shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does a lot of the selling before it is even opened.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Corrugated postal packets and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your product, rather than a generic size, reducing wasted space and damage caused in transit by a badly fitting box.
For larger 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 expands to hold multiple items in one order, making it well suited for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change monthly.
Wrapping approaches for the trade
Our top-quality packaging is created to accommodate a broad selection of products across many industries.
Food packaging basics
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is usually the first assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging is subject to our highest requirements, because safety during contact with the product is more important than the box’s appearance.
First-class industry
For cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam recess keeps items secure during transit, while options including foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.
We assist you in designing packaging that complements your items, creating a premium feel for your company.
Mail lockers and online shopping names
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it often results in a return or refund request, making robust packaging important for ecommerce brands operating across courier networks.
What’s in addition, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a a remarkable unboxing experience!
Converting an opening into customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising!
Keeping all reorder steady
When a reorder comes in, we handle it as a first order, retaining the same named contact, following the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
As your order increases in size, the reduced unit cost is shown directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to enter.
This pricing approach applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
Even a matched reorder from another supplier is given identical proofing and quality checks as those applied to an completely new design.
No item gets approved automatically simply because it is similar to something you already had!
Green procurement from our premier packaging plant
Every box we make is fully recyclable, which helps reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box harder to recycle. We are also cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be glad to discuss it with you face to face or by telephone.
How adapting and starting works
Please contact us with an approximate outline of what you need to pack, where you are located in Portsmouth, the quantity required, and whether an existing supplier needs to be matched.
If you are trying new products or wish to assess their quality before submitting a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.
Approve the proof after our team finalises the artwork, matches any existing specification and confirms the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Portsmouth addresses get their deliveries within one to two working days after dispatch.
As needed, place another order through the same named contact, using the specification already held on file.
