Whatever your packaging requirements, ranging from an individual sample to a full range of products for a continuing account, are overseen by one factory and one dedicated team.
We keep your artwork on file, make sure colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and advise you candidly when a deadline is particularly demanding.
A dedicated contact oversees your request, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. Because they remain part of the process, the specification stays the same.

How does differences arise when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Redcar
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 becomes important on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the beginning.
Because we handle board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, your colour and wall thickness remain uniform from the first order through every reorder that follows.
The individual preparing the quote for your job also runs it on the press.
When a reorder requires clarification, they are the person you contact directly, ready with a honest answer.
Why Redcar-owned organisations choose our packaging services
No minimum requirement on all product
We have no a minimum order for any products we make, so a single sample and a reorder of five hundred units follow the same process.
We do not need a minimum volume before accepting your work, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because the order is small.
As a result, we grow alongside your Redcar business.
When you are prepared to develop your business or extend your product range, we will assist you throughout every stage of your journey.
One dedicated contact, from enquiry to final delivery
The same person continues handling your account from initial enquiry to delivery, already acquainted with your specifications when you come to reorder.
You are never put through from one department to another, nor made to repeat the details of your job whenever you call.
Several years of in house manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
This track record means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are established over many years partners, built over decades rather than newly sourced for each incoming job.
We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The plant manufactures exactly what is shown on the approved proof.
Delivery created around your Redcar business
We deliver nationwide, regardless of where your business is located, from a single sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same factory in Irvine according to a set schedule, irrespective of the size of the order or location within Redcar.
Whether a single box must be couriered for sign-off or several pallets need scheduling around a launch date, one single logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery stays the same as the order grows.
Personalised designs developed to complement your product
Certain products fall outside the size of a regular box.
If yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimensions, we create the structure to fit it precisely. Components that require separation during transit receive the same careful treatment, built into the structure from the outset rather than introduced later.
Our design specialists assess your physical product rather than using only specifications. An first sample confirms fit and operation before any unit moves into full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we make the necessary changes and provide a second sample instead of making an unusable batch.
Packing items from Personalised Pack Studio
Every product in our packaging range is produced at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is the exact finish you receive when ordering five hundred.
From custom packaging designed for a single product line to the accessories that accompany each order, everything comes from one production line.
Boxes and parcels
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 is placed on the shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it is even opened.
Here, quality board and an exact die cut are equally important as the printing itself.
Cardboard mailing packs and postal packaging
Postal mailer boxes are customised to your product’s dimensions, minimising void fill and preventing the damage an ill fitting box can cause in transit.
For bulkier or bigger items, we manufacture full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts shield and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in one order, making it a suitable choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Packing answers for your industry
Our high-quality packaging is meticulously designed to protect products across a diverse range of industries.
Edible packaging basics
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first detail our food packaging customers ask about, whether they run a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier branching into retail.
Among 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.
High-end field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess keeps the contents from moving in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination mirrors the product within.
We help create packaging that enhances your items and adds your brand a luxurious feel.
Mail parcels and online business labels
A crushed mailer can trigger a return or refund request, so e commerce businesses need a box tough enough to pass through the courier network intact.
Additionally, customised packaging provides a memorable unboxing experience.
Converting an opportunity into customer loyalty and, sometimes, complimentary online advertising!
Preserving every reorder in consistency
We process every reorder as we do a first order, retaining the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as previously.
As your order gets larger, the unit cost falls, with savings included in the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
That identical pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand restocked within a quarter, and a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder provided by another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as a completely new design.
Nothing passes just because it is similar to something you already possessed.
Ethical sourcing from our leading packaging establishment
Each box we make is entirely recyclable, helping to minimise both plastic waste and waste sent to landfill.
We won’t add laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be happy to review it with you in person or over the telephone.
How modifying versus beginning works
Get in touch with us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, your location in Redcar, the quantity you require, and whether we need to match an existing supplier.
Order a sample through our free samples service when testing new products or checking quality before committing with a full order.
Give approval for the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, matched it to any existing specification, and verified the pricing in writing.
Manufacturing and delivery generally take two to three weeks. Most UK and Redcar addresses receive their orders within one to two working days of being dispatched.
Place another order whenever needed via the same named contact, with the same specification kept on file.
