Regardless of your packaging needs, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, are managed by one factory and one dedicated team.
We retain your artwork securely in our records, match your colours just as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you straight away if a deadline appears challenging.
A single contact oversees your request, manufacturing and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. Because they remain involved throughout, the specification stays unchanged.

Which shifts take place when wrapping becomes a uninterrupted supplier alliance with South Shields?
An first order usually focuses on the box in question: whether it fits properly, prints effectively and is delivered on time.
A business relationship proves its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to explain the specification from scratch.
By overseeing board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, we ensure that colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every later reorder.
The person who provides a quote for your job also runs it on the press.
If a reorder requires clarification, they are the person to speak to directly for a genuine answer.
Reasons South Shields businesses prefer Our packing solutions
Zero minimum spend on every product.
We do not require a minimum order on any product we make, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units are handled using identical procedures.
We impose no minimum volume requirement, and a lower-volume order will not attract an additional charge.
This means we develop with your South Shields business.
When you are prepared to grow your business or widen your product range, we will assist you during every stage of your journey.
A single named contact starting from enquiry to delivery
A single designated contact manages your account from your first enquiry to delivery, maintaining a clear understanding of your specification when you are ready to place another order.
You are never transferred between departments, or forced to explain the job again to a different person whenever you get in touch.
Years of in-house manufacturing
From 1997, our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK.
That background means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, not new sources found for each incoming job.
Since we mix our own ink and hold board stock, colour matching does not depend on a third party printer deciphering your brief.
The version approved on the proof is the same as what leaves the factory.
Shipping designed for your South Shields business
We deliver across the country, wherever your business is located, from a single sample to a full pallet.
Each order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory under a single schedule, irrespective of its size or destination in South Shields.
Whether one box must be couriered for sign-off or multiple pallets need arranging around a launch date, one single logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Tailor Made Creations Created Centred on Your Item
Some products cannot be accommodated within a standard box.
If your item has an atypical shape or awkward dimension, we engineer the structure to fit it precisely. Components needing to be separated in transit are integrated into the structure, rather than added subsequently.
Our design team works with your real product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An first sample checks fit and function before any unit goes into full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we adjust it and provide another sample rather than creating a batch that is unsuitable.
Packaging items from Tailored Pack Studio
Every item of packaging in our selection is made 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 bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete every order, everything is made on a single production line.
Cases and packaging cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit a broad range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to keep your branding in view regardless of how the container is positioned on a shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does a lot of the selling before it is even opened.
Top quality board material and an accurate die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Paperboard mailers and postal packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to suit your product’s measurements, reducing surplus void fill and limiting the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transit.
When bulkier items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts gently cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box opens out to accommodate several items in one order, making it ideal for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Wrapping tailored to any industry
Our top-tier packaging is well suited to a wide range of products across numerous industries.
Food packaging supplies
We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is typically the first requirement food packaging customers enquire about, from smaller bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Of every category we provide, food and drink packaging is governed by the most rigorous requirements, as maintaining safe contact with the product takes priority over the box’s visual appeal.
Upscale sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity keeps products safe in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the contents.
We work with you to create packaging that complements your products and adds a luxurious feel to your brand.
Shipping packages for ecommerce brands
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it typically indicates a request for a return or refund, leaving online brands seeking packaging sturdy enough to arrive intact from the courier network.
Furthermore, bespoke packaging delivers a remarkable unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into customer loyalty and, at times, free online advertising!
Ensuring every reorder in line
A reorder adheres to the same procedure as a initial order, using the same named contact and proofing process, with board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
The unit cost reduces as the quantity ordered rises, with those price reductions already included in the pricing rather than depending on a discount code you need to remember to use.
This pricing structure is applied equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from another supplier undergoes the same proofing process and quality checks as a brand-new design.
No item is accepted without examination merely because it is intended to look like something you already possessed.
Eco-friendly procurement from our leading packaging facility
Each box we produce is entirely recyclable, helping to reduce both plastic rubbish and waste sent to landfill.
We will avoid adding laminate only to create a glossy finish if this makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are phasing out single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you either face to face or by telephone.
