Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team handle it all.
We retain your artwork, match your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and advise you candidly when a deadline is demanding.
A one named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder after two years. The specification stays consistent because the same person continues to be responsible.

What shifts take place when container design becomes an sustained supplier relationship with Salford
A first order primarily concerns the box itself: whether its size is suitable, whether it produces a clear print, and whether it is delivered promptly.
A supplier relationship proves its value on the sixth order, when an identical product calls for matching colour and fit, without the need for you to restate the specification from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness stay uniform from your first order through every reorder.
The professional pricing your job also runs it on the press.
Should a repeat order need clarification, they are the person to contact directly for a clear, honest answer.
Why Salford-based businesses rely on our packaging services
There is no minimum requirement on any product
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, meaning the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
Whether the order is limited or substantial, we are ready to take it on, with no minimum order quantity required and no extra fee simply because it is small.
This means we grow with your Salford business.
When you are ready to expand your business or extend your product range, we will help you during every stage of your journey.
One dedicated contact, right from enquiry until delivery
One consistent contact remains with your account from initial enquiry to delivery, so your order details is already understood when you are prepared to reorder.
You work with one dedicated team, so you are not required to explain the job again to a new person when you call.
Numerous years of on-site manufacturing
Our holding company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK from 1997.
This background ensures that the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than newly sourced for each new job.
We blend ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching does not depend on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The plant produces exactly what is shown on the approved proof.
Distribution tailored to suit your Salford operation
Wherever in the country your business calls home across the country, we deliver from one sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service collects all orders from the same Irvine factory according to one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Salford.
Whether one box must be sent by courier for sign-off or multiple pallets need arranging around a launch date, one single logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Tailor Made Solutions Created to Suit Your Goods
Certain products defy the size of a regular box.
If yours has an irregular shape or awkward dimension, we build the structure to suit it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same approach, integrated into the structure instead of being attached at a later stage.
Our team of designers deals directly with your actual product rather than depending entirely on a spec sheet. The first sample checks fit and function before complete production starts.
Should the die cut need adjustment, we refine it and supply a second sample rather than producing an unfit batch.
Boxing merchandise from Custom Pack Studio
Every product in our packaging range is produced at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is exactly what you receive when ordering five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order, everything is manufactured on one production line.
Crates and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing provided across every panel to help ensure the branding in view regardless of how the container is oriented on a shelf.
For gifts and jewellery, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product before it has even been opened.
In this case, quality board and an exact die cut are just as important as the printing itself.
Cardboard mailers & delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to match your product’s dimensions rather than a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and limiting damage resulting from a poorly fitting box in transit.
For bigger or more substantial items, we make corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts provide cushioning for the items inside.
A gusseted box unfolds to fit several items in one order, making it ideal for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Packing adapted to the industry
Our premium packaging is suitable for diverse products across various industries.
Food packaging supplies
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers require, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets the strictest requirements across everything we supply, because keeping products safe in contact is far more important than the appearance of the box.
First-class field
When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product securely, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect what lies within.
We create packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a premium feel.
Postal boxes and digital commerce brands
A damaged mailer can spark a return or refund request, so e commerce businesses need a box tough enough to pass through the delivery network undamaged.
Additionally, customised packaging creates a memorable unboxing experience.
Converting an opportunity into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising!
Preserving each rearrangement consistently
We process every reorder in exactly the same way as a first order, using the same named contact, identical proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
The unit cost decreases as the order size grows, with those savings already factored in the pricing rather than relying on a discount code you have to remember to enter.
That same pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand restocked within a quarter, and a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from a different supplier goes through the same proofing process and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Every piece is assessed separately, even when designed to match something you previously owned.
Environmentally responsible sourcing from our leading packaging site
Every box we make is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t add laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If your sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you in person or over the phone.
How switching or initiating happens
