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 on file, match colours on your tenth reorder as accurately as on the first, and be straightforward when time is short.
A one named 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 is still responsible.
For a packaging supplier created to grow with your business, reach out to the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio today.
Which differences take place when packing becomes a continuous vendor alliance involving Smethwick?
A initial order is primarily about the box itself: will it fit properly, print clearly and be delivered on time?
A relationship with a supplier demonstrates its value on the sixth order, when an identical product calls for matching colour and fit, without making you restate the specification from the beginning.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order to every reorder.
The person who prepares your quotation also oversees its production on the press.
Any questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Why Smethwick enterprises choose our company’s packaging solutions
Absolutely no minimum order on all items.
We do not require a minimum order on any product we make, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units go through the same procedures.
Whether the order is modest or substantial, we are happy to accept it, with no minimum volume required and no additional charge simply because it is limited.
This shows that our development is in line with your Smethwick business.
When you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will assist you through every stage of your journey.
A dedicated designated contact throughout enquiry until delivery
One consistent contact remains with your account from the initial enquiry to delivery, so your requirements is already understood when you are prepared to reorder.
You deal with one consistent team, so you are not required to explain the job again to a new person each time you call.
Numerous periods of on-site manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our parent company, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
This longstanding history means that the board and ink suppliers working on your order are established relationships cultivated over decades, rather than sourced anew for each new job.
We blend our own ink and hold board stock ourselves, so colour matching is never reliant on a third-party printer understanding your instructions.
The design proof you approve is the same as what leaves the factory.
Supply designed for your Smethwick operation
We supply across the country, wherever your business is located, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same factory in Irvine following a set schedule, regardless of order size or location within Smethwick.
Whether you need a single box delivered for sign-off or multiple pallets scheduled for a launch date, one consistent logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as your order increases.
Bespoke Creations Developed Centred on Your Product
Certain products do not sit within a conventional box.
If yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimension, we build the structure to accommodate it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated in the same way, incorporated into the structure instead of being fitted afterwards.
Your actual product is where our design journey begins, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a first sample confirms its fit and function.
Should the die cut require refinement, we revise it and supply a second sample rather than making an inappropriate batch.
Packaging goods by Custom Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our range is manufactured at our own factory, helping to ensure the finish confirmed on your sample is the same as that supplied in an order of five hundred.
All items from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories included with an order is made on one production line.
Cartons and packages
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes work well for different retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding stays visible wherever containers are positioned.
For jewellery and gift-giving, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid handles much of the selling before being opened.
The standard of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Paperboard letter packaging and freight packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to suit your product’s dimensions, helping to reduce void fill and helping to prevent the damage a poorly fitted box can cause in transit.
When heavier items set out on their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts gently cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary monthly.
Packaging options for your industry
Our top-quality packaging is well suited for a large selection of products and industries!
Meal packing supplies
We maintain 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 moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets the most demanding requirements across all the products we supply, as keeping products safe in contact is far more important than the appearance of the box.
First-class market
For cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while options including foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the product within.
We work with you to create packaging that complements your products and adds a luxurious feel to your brand.
Post containers alongside internet retail labels
When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it often results in a return or refund request, making sturdy packaging essential for ecommerce brands navigating courier networks.
Additionally, bespoke packaging transforms unboxing into a lasting experience.
Turning an opening into loyal customers and, from time to time, unpaid online advertising!
Maintaining every reorder uniform
A repeat order follows the same procedure as a first order, using the same named contact and proofing process, with board and ink obtained from the same suppliers as before.
As your order increases, the unit cost falls, with savings built into the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
The same rates applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for large-volume delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier undergoes the same proofing process and thorough quality checks as an entirely new design.
No item gets approved automatically merely because it looks like something you already had!
Eco-friendly procurement from our top packaging location
Each box we produce is fully recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add 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.
If a sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we are glad to discuss it in person or by telephone.
