Regardless of your packaging requirements, from a single sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee it all.
We keep your artwork on file, match colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and speak plainly when time is short.
One dedicated contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder after two years. The specification stays consistent because the same person handles everything!
For a packaging supplier created to expand with your business, get in touch with the helpful team at Custom Pack Studio now.
Which differs when packaging develops into an enduring provider partnership?
A first order is really about the box in question: will it fit properly, print well and reach you on time?
A supplier relationship is proven on order six, when the same product calls for the same colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification once more from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every reorder.
The person who provides a quote for your job also prints it on the press.
If any aspect of a reorder requires clarification, you can contact them directly and receive a honest answer.
Why Skelmersdale-led businesses rely on our packing solutions
Zero minimum order on each item
There is no minimum order requirement for anything we produce, so one sample or a reorder of five hundred units goes through exactly the same process!
We do not require a minimum volume to take on your job, and small orders never incur an additional charge.
This means we expand alongside your Skelmersdale company.
When you are ready to develop your business or widen your product range, we will support you throughout every stage of your journey.
Just one designated point of contact from first enquiry to delivery
The same dedicated contact manages your account from first enquiry through to delivery, already knowing your specification when you are ready to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or asked to go over the job again to someone new each time you call.
Numerous years of on-premises manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our main company, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships nurtured over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
Because we prepare ink and keep board stock in house, colour matching does not rely on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The proof that you approve is precisely what leaves the factory.
Shipping tailored for your Skelmersdale company
We deliver across the country, wherever your business is located, from a single sample to a full pallet.
In Skelmersdale, our delivery service keeps to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, regardless of the order size or destination.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, one reliable logistics process oversees everything, so delivery remains unchanged as your order increases.
Custom styles created to suit your item.
Some products do not sit within a standard box.
If yours has an atypical shape or awkward dimension, we design the structure to accommodate it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated in the same way, integrated into the structure instead of being added later.
Our design team evaluates your actual product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An initial sample confirms fit and function before full production gets under way.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we adjust it and send a second sample rather than making a batch that is not appropriate.
Packing items from Custom Packaging Studio
All packaging in our range is manufactured at our own factory, meaning the finish accepted on your sample is the same as that supplied in an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a specific product line or the accessories that finish an order, it is all produced on one production line.
Boxes and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit many retail packaging requirements. Printing extends across every panel, helping ensure the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gift-giving, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid handles much of the selling before it is even opened.
The standard of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Paperboard packaging sleeves and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, reducing the need for void fill and reducing damage resulting from a poorly fitting box during transit.
For weightier or more sizeable 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 change each month.
Packaging solutions for your industry
Our high-quality packaging is well suited to varied products across numerous industries.
Cuisine packaging materials
Our BRC Global Packaging certification covers the High Hygiene level. It is typically the initial assurance food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Among all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the greatest care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always precede the box’s appearance.
High-end market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess helps prevent movement while in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the product within.
We assist with designing packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a luxurious feel.
Postal boxes for e-commerce labels
A crushed mailer can often prompt a return or refund request, making hard-wearing packaging necessary for e commerce brands that require boxes to cope with the courier network and arrive intact.
What’s more, bespoke packaging turns opening your order into a remarkable unboxing experience!
Turning an opportunity into customer loyalty and, occasionally, no-cost online advertising!
Ensuring every reorder orderly
A reorder uses the same procedure as a initial order, using the same designated contact and proofing process, with board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
As larger quantities are ordered, the unit price decreases, with the savings already reflected in the pricing, leaving no discount code to remember.
This price structure applies whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand restocked within a quarter, or a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from a different supplier undergoes the same proofing process and quality checks as a brand-new design.
No item passes an inspection simply because it looks like something you currently own.
Green procurement from our top packaging facility
Every box we make remains 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability statement need scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you either in person or by telephone.
How altering or starting works
Get in touch with us with details of what you need packed, your address in Skelmersdale, the quantity required, and whether we should follow an existing supplier.
Make use of our free samples service to request a sample when testing new products or checking quality before placing a larger order.
Give approval for the proof after our team has produced the artwork, ensured it follows any existing specification, and confirmed the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Skelmersdale addresses get their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
When necessary, place another order through the same named contact, using the specification already held on file.

Find your perfect packaging solution with Custom Pack Studio now.
Call 01294 314 919 or email contact@custompackstudio.co.uk. If you are moving from another supplier, send us your current specification or a sample of the existing box, allowing us to quote directly against it rather than begin from scratch.
Making a fresh start can be equally effective.
Share an approximate description of your packing needs and how many you need by telephone, or begin the design process with our online design tool before ordering. We will promptly send a written quotation, with no commitment to place an order.
Your initial sample is provided at no cost, and it is free again when an existing account moves over to us. In both cases, the person providing your quotation will still be the same person looking after your account in two years.
Regardless of your business location, we deliver throughout the UK directly to Skelmersdale from our Irvine factory.
