Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team manage everything.
We keep your artwork safely on file, match your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you straight away if a deadline seems tight.
One assigned contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder after two years. The specification remains consistent because the same person oversees everything!

Which changes arise when container design becomes an sustained supplier relationship with Shoreham-by-Sea
Once that initial order arrives, attention turns to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it gets to you on time.
A supplier relationship becomes important on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through each reorder.
The individual who prepares your quotation also manages its production on the press.
Should a reorder require further explanation, they are the person to speak to directly for a clear, genuine answer.
Reasons Shoreham-by-Sea businesses opt for Our packing solutions
There is no minimum requirement on any product
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, meaning one sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow the same process.
We do not require a minimum quantity before taking on your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is small.
This shows that our growth is aligned with your Shoreham-by-Sea business.
When the time comes to develop your business or product line, we will assist you every step of the way.
Sole dedicated liaison, from enquiry to delivery
The same person continues to be responsible for your account throughout the process, from initial enquiry to delivery, already familiar with your specifications when you come to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or expected to outline the job again to a new member of the team whenever you telephone.
Decades of in-house fabrication
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has been operating presses in the UK from 1997.
This longstanding history means that the board and ink suppliers involved with your order are established relationships developed over decades, rather than found afresh for each incoming job.
As we mix ink and hold board stock in house, colour matching does not rely on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The plant manufactures precisely what appears on the approved proof.
Distribution tailored to your Shoreham-by-Sea business
We deliver nationwide, wherever your business is located, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
Each consignment is collected from the same Irvine factory according to a single consistent schedule, whatever the order size or destination in Shoreham-by-Sea.
Whether you require one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one uniform logistics process handles everything, so delivery stays consistent as your order grows.
Tailored layouts developed to fit your product
Some products simply do not fit into a conventional box.
If yours has an atypical shape or awkward dimensions, we design the structure to fit it precisely. Components that require separation during transit receive the same thoughtful treatment, built into the structure from the outset rather than being added afterwards.
Your actual product is where our design story begins, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production starts, a first sample confirms its fit and function.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we adjust it and provide a second sample rather than making a batch that is not suitable.
Wrapping products from Custom Pack Atelier
All packaging from our collection is made in our own factory, meaning the finish approved from a sample is identical to the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is made on one production line.
Containers and wrappers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for diverse retail and product packaging, with printing applied to every panel to keep the branding visible regardless of how the container is positioned on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it has even been opened.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Cardboard mailers plus dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to suit your product’s dimensions, reducing void fill and preventing the damage a poorly fitted box can cause during transit.
For heavier or larger items, we manufacture full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box expands to contain multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents differ each month.
Packing answers for the sector
Our premium packaging is well suited to varied products across various industries.
Food packaging provisions
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets our strictest requirements, because product-contact safety takes priority over the box’s appearance.
Luxury field
For jewellery, a customised insert or foam recess keeps items secure during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.
We assist you in creating packaging that enhances your products and adds a luxurious feel to your brand.
Mail boxes for e-commerce labels
A damaged mailer can often prompt a request for a return or refund, making hard-wearing packaging essential for e commerce brands that need boxes to withstand the courier network and reach their destination intact.
Furthermore, bespoke packaging transforms opening the package into a lasting unboxing experience.
Converting an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising.
Preserving all reorganisation uniformly
We process every reorder as we would a first order, retaining the same named contact and proofing process, while obtaining the board and ink from the same suppliers as previously.
As your order increases, the unit cost drops, with savings built into the price, so there is no discount code to remember!
This pricing approach is applied equally to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
Even when reordering a matched item from a different supplier, we complete the same proofing and quality checks needed for a brand-new design.
Nothing is accepted just because it is similar to something you already had.
Green procurement from our top packaging site
Every box we manufacture is fully recyclable, helping to cut down on plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t add laminate only 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.
If a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
How swapping or beginning happens
Please contact us and provide an rough idea of what you need packed, your location in Shoreham-by-Sea, the quantity required, and whether we should replicate an existing supplier.
Take advantage of our free samples service to order a sample when evaluating new products or verifying quality before placing a larger order.
Authorise the proof after our team completes the artwork, adheres to any existing specification and confirms the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery typically require two to three weeks, while most UK and Shoreham-by-Sea addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
When required, reorder through your usual named contact using the specification already held on file.
