Regardless of your packaging requirements, ranging from an individual sample to a complete range of products for a continuing account, are overseen by one factory and a single dedicated team.
We hold your artwork in our records, reproduce colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and speak plainly when time is short.
One dedicated contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from your initial sample through to a reorder two years later. Your spec stays the same because the same person oversees everything.

How packing changes when it becomes a long-term vendor collaboration
An first order generally considers the box itself: whether it fits as intended, prints clearly and arrives on schedule.
A trading relationship proves its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification all over again.
We oversee 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 team member providing a quote for your job operates it on the press too!
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can talk to them directly and receive a honest answer.
Why South Benfleet-branded businesses rely on our packaging options
Zero minimum purchase on the whole selection.
We do not set minimum order quantities on anything we produce, which means a single sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through precisely the same process.
We do not require a minimum order volume, and we don’t add an extra charge simply because your order is limited in size.
This shows that we develop alongside your South Benfleet business.
Whenever you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will be by your side throughout each stage of your journey!
One sole named contact from enquiry to delivery
Your dedicated contact stays with your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, so they know your spec when you are looking to reorder.
You are never transferred between teams, or required to repeat the details of the job to a different person whenever you get in touch.
Several decades of in-house manufacturing
Our wider company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK from 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are reliable partners nurtured over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
As we mix ink and maintain our own board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The proof you accept is exactly what leaves the factory.
Despatch bespoke to your South Benfleet business
No matter where your business calls its base across the country, we deliver from one sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same factory in Irvine following a consistent schedule, regardless of the size of the order or location within South Benfleet.
Whether one box must be couriered for sign-off or multiple pallets need arranging around a launch date, one single logistics process coordinates everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Bespoke layouts developed to fit your offering
Some products defy the size of a regular box.
Where your item has an atypical shape or awkward dimension, we design the structure to fit it exactly. Components requiring separation in transit are incorporated into the structure, rather than fitted later.
Your actual product is where our design journey begins, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a initial sample confirms its fit and function.
Should the die cut call for refinement, we refine it and produce a second sample rather than creating an unsuitable batch.
Packing goods from Custom Packaging Studio
Every item of packaging in our selection is manufactured at our own factory, which ensures that the finish approved from a sample is exactly the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From tailored packaging for a single product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is manufactured on a single production line.
Cartons and containers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit different retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers are placed.
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 quality of the board material and the precision of the die cut are just as important as the print itself.
Paperboard mailers and postal packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to match your product’s dimensions, helping to reduce void fill and helping to prevent the damage a badly fitting box can cause in transit.
For larger or heavier items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help keep everything inside safely cushioned.
A gusseted box opens out to accommodate multiple items in a single order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Wrapping for your particular sector
Our premium packaging is particularly suitable to varied products across various industries.
Grocery packing items
We maintain 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 faces the toughest requirements across everything we supply, because keeping products safe in contact is far more important than the appearance of the box.
Elite end sector
When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product securely, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We help you create packaging that enhances your products and brings a luxurious feel to your brand.
Postal boxes and online business brands
A crushed mailer commonly prompts a request for a return or refund, so e-commerce brands require a box designed to withstand the courier network and reach its destination intact.
Furthermore, custom-made packaging makes opening your order a memorable experience.
Converting an opportunity into customer loyalty and, sometimes, complimentary online advertising!
Maintaining every reorder in line
Your reorder is given exactly the same treatment as your first order. That includes the same named contact, identical proofing process, and board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
Larger orders reduce the unit cost, with the reduction built into the stated price rather than requiring a discount code to be applied.
The same price structure covers twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for large-volume delivery.
Even when ordering again a matched item from another supplier, we carry out the same proofing and quality checks required for a completely new design.
No item is accepted entirely because it is designed to look like something you already had.
Sustainable sourcing from our premier packaging centre
Each box we make is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box harder to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should your sustainability claim need to withstand a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you in person or over the phone.
How modifying and commencing runs
Please contact us with an general description of what you need to pack, your location in South Benfleet, the amount needed, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
Use our free samples service to order a sample when testing new products or checking quality before placing a full order.
Approve the proof after our team finishes the artwork, follows any existing specification and confirms the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery generally require two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and South Benfleet addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
When necessary, reorder through the same named contact using the same specification held on file.
