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 keep your artwork files on file, make sure colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and advise you candidly when a deadline is especially demanding.
A single contact oversees your enquiry, manufacturing and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder after two years. Because they remain part of the process, the specification stays consistent.

What adjustments take place when packaging becomes an sustained supplier relationship with Shrewsbury
An initial order mainly concerns the box itself: whether its dimensions are suitable, whether it prints effectively, and whether it is delivered punctually.
A strong supplier relationship shows its value on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification once more.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through all subsequent reorders.
The person putting together your quotation is also the one who manages your job on the press.
If something about a reorder requires clarification, speak to them directly for a straightforward, honest response.
The Reason Shrewsbury businesses select Our packaging solutions
Zero minimum purchase on all products.
We do not impose a minimum order requirement for anything we produce, so the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We have no minimum volume requirement, and a small order will not carry an additional charge.
This means we grow with your Shrewsbury business.
When the time comes to grow your business or extend your product range, we will support you at each stage of the journey.
Just one identified liaison from initial query to fulfilment
The same person continues to be responsible for your account from your initial enquiry through to delivery, already aware of your specifications when you come to reorder.
You deal with one regular team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a different person each time you call.
Countless decades of internal manufacturing
Our main company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers helping with your order reflect relationships developed over decades, rather than sources newly located for each distinct commission.
We mix ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching does not depend on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
What you approve in the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Shipping tailored around your Shrewsbury enterprise
We provide delivery throughout the country, wherever your business is situated, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
In Shrewsbury, our delivery service adheres to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, regardless of the order size or destination.
Whether you want a single box provided for approval or several pallets arranged for a launch date, the same logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery stays consistent as the order grows.
Bespoke Creations Built Focussed on Your Offering
Not each product is suitable to a standard box.
Where yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimensions, we build the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same thoughtful approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than fitted afterwards.
Our design professionals assess your physical product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An first sample verifies fit and performance before any item enters full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we modify it and provide another sample rather than producing an unsuitable batch.
Wrapping items from Personalised Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is made at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample matches the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
All items from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories included with an order is produced on one production line.
Cartons and crates
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes accommodate diverse retail and product packaging, with printing provided across every panel to help ensure the branding in view 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 helps sell the product before it is even opened!
Top quality board material and an accurate die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Cardboard delivery packs and postal packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s dimensions rather than a standard size, reducing the need for void fill and limiting damage caused by a poorly fitting box during transit.
For bigger or more substantial items, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in complete colour, while printed inserts give cushioning for the items inside.
A gusseted box opens out to fit multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle whose contents vary each month.
Packing designed to each field
Our top-grade packaging is particularly suitable to varied products across many industries.
Meal packaging necessities
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first aspect our food packaging customers enquire about, whether they operate a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging is governed by the most stringent requirements of all the categories we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s visual appeal.
Prestige industry
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the product within.
We help you create packaging that complements your items and gives your brand a high-end feel.
Post boxes and online business names
A crushed mailer frequently leads to a request for a return or refund, making hard-wearing packaging necessary for e commerce brands that need boxes to endure the courier network and arrive intact.
What’s in addition, bespoke packaging transforms opening your order into a memorable unboxing experience!
An opening can lead to customer loyalty and, at times, free advertising online.
Preserving each reorder in consistency
We process every reorder as we would a first order, retaining the same named contact and proofing process, while sourcing the board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
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.
The same pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, and even a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier receives the same proofing procedure and rigorous quality checks as an completely new design.
Nothing is accepted entirely because it is designed to resemble something you already had.
Ethical sourcing from our flagship packaging site
Each box we make is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle. We are also reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
Should a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you either face to face or by telephone.
How swapping or commencing functions
Please contact us with an approximate outline of the items you need packed, where you are based in Shrewsbury, the amount required, and whether an existing supplier must be matched.
If you are looking into new products or simply wish to check their quality before making a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.
Give approval to the proof after our team has created the artwork, aligned it with any current specification and supplied written price confirmation.
Manufacturing and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Shrewsbury addresses get their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
When needed, reorder through your usual named contact using the specification already on file.
