Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team manage everything.
We retain your artwork files on file, see that colour matching remains consistent from the first order through to the tenth, and advise you candidly when a deadline is especially tight.
One dedicated contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder after two years. The specification remains consistent because the same person manages everything!

Which alterations occur when packaging becomes an long-term supplier relationship with Southend-on-Sea
A first order mainly assesses the box itself: whether it fits, prints accurately and arrives on schedule.
A supplier relationship proves its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, with no need to repeat the specification once more.
Because we handle board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, your colour and wall thickness stay consistent from the initial order through every reorder that follows.
The individual putting together your quote will also handle your job on the press.
Should a repeat order need clarification, they are the person to contact directly for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Why Southend-on-Sea-led businesses turn to our packaging solutions
Zero minimum order on all items.
There’s no minimum order for anything we produce, so one sample or a repeat order of five hundred units goes through exactly the same process!
Whether the order is modest or substantial, we are happy to accept it, with no minimum order quantity required and no additional charge simply because it is small.
This indicates we grow in step with your Southend-on-Sea enterprise.
As soon as you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will be alongside you throughout each stage of your journey!
A sole named contact from enquiry to delivery
The same person continues to be responsible for your account throughout the process, from initial enquiry to delivery, already familiar with your specifications when you come to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or asked to outline the job again to a different member of the team whenever you telephone.
Decades of internal creation
From 1997, our parent business, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are reliable partners developed over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
Since we mix our own ink and keep board stock, colour matching does not depend on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The factory produces precisely what is shown on the approved proof.
Supply designed to suit your Southend-on-Sea operation
Wherever in the country your business calls home across the country, we supply from one sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up from the same facility in Irvine following a set schedule, irrespective of order size or destination within Southend-on-Sea.
Whether you need a one box sent for approval or several pallets planned around a launch date, a single logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery continues in the same way as the order increases.
Personalised designs developed for your offering
Some products do not sit within a standard box.
Where yours has an irregular shape or unusual dimensions, we engineer the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit are given the same thoughtful approach, with their protection incorporated into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Our design department deals directly with your actual product rather than relying solely on a spec sheet. The first sample checks fit and function before production gets under way.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we adjust it and dispatch another sample rather than making a batch that is not appropriate.
Wrapping goods by Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is produced at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample matches the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a specific product line or the accessories that complete an order, it is all produced on one production line.
Boxes and box containers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes accommodate varied retail and product packaging, with printing added to every panel to help ensure the branding visible 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 performs much of the selling before it has even been opened.
The quality of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Corrugated envelopes and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to fit your product’s exact dimensions, minimising void fill and avoiding the damage that an unsuitable box may cause during delivery.
For larger items, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts support whatever is placed inside.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Packing adapted to any field
Our top-tier packaging is thoughtfully designed to accommodate products across a diverse range of industries.
Food wrapping materials
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is generally the first assurance food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Food and drink packaging faces the toughest requirements across all the products we supply, as keeping products safe in contact is far more important than the appearance of the box.
Top-tier segment
When jewellery and cosmetics are transported, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product safely, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We help design packaging that suits your items and provides your brand a premium feel.
Mail box and e-commerce names
When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it typically signals a request for a return or refund, leaving online brands requiring packaging sturdy enough to emerge whole from the delivery network.
Furthermore, customised packaging delivers a lasting unboxing experience.
Transforming an opportunity into customer loyalty and, occasionally, no-cost online advertising!
Preserving all reordering in regularity
We handle every reorder as we do a first order, using the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as before.
The price per unit reduces as the quantity ordered grows, with those savings already factored in the price rather than depending on a discount code you need to remember to use.
This pricing approach applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder obtained from a different supplier receives identical proofing and quality checks as a new design.
Every piece is reviewed separately, even when designed to match something you owned before.
Ethical sourcing from our leading packaging plant
Every box we make is 100% recyclable, assisting in reducing plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
Should a sustainability statement need reviewing during a procurement audit, we would be glad to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
How modifying or initiating proceeds
