Whatever your packaging requirements, from an individual sample to a complete range of products for a continuing account, are handled by one factory and one dedicated team.
We store your artwork files on file, make sure colour matching remains consistent from the first order through to the tenth, and give you honest advice when a deadline is especially demanding.
From your initial sample to a reorder two years later, one dedicated contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification is unchanged because the same person stays at the helm.
For a packaging supplier designed to grow alongside your business, contact the welcoming team at Custom Pack Studio today.
What differences happen whenever packaging evolves into an sustained distributor relationship
An first order largely concerns the box itself, including whether it is the right fit, prints well, and arrives on schedule.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification again from the beginning.
By managing board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, we make sure that colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through every subsequent reorder.
The person creating your quotation is also the one who runs your job on the press.
If any aspect of a reorder requires clarification, you can speak to them directly and get a genuine answer.
Why St Albans businesses choose our packaging options
Zero minimum purchase on any article
We impose no minimum order on any product we make, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units follow identical procedures.
We do not need a minimum volume to accept your job, and small orders never attract an additional charge.
This shows that our growth is in line with your St Albans business.
When the time arrives to develop your business or product line, we will assist you at each stage.
One identified liaison from first enquiry to completion
The same person continues to be responsible for your account from initial enquiry to delivery, already familiar with your specifications when you come to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or asked to go over the job again to someone new whenever you call.
Decades of on-site manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
That background means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than sourced afresh for each job.
Since we produce our own ink and hold board stock, colour matching does not depend on a third party printer deciphering your brief.
The factory produces exactly what is shown on the approved proof.
Distribution crafted around your St Albans business
Wherever your business is based in the country, we send out everything from one sample to a full pallet!
Our delivery operation gathers orders from the same factory in Irvine on a regular schedule, regardless of order size or destination in St Albans.
Whether you require a single box provided for approval or multiple pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process manages both, so that delivery remains unchanged as the order increases.
Tailor Made Solutions Developed Focussed on Your Item
Some products simply do not sit into a regular box.
If your item has an unusual shape or challenging dimension, we create the structure to fit it precisely. Components that need separating in transit are built into the structure, rather than added subsequently.
Our design experts evaluate your physical product rather than depending entirely on specifications. An early sample verifies fit and operation before any unit enters full production.
If the die cut requires refinement, we update it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that is unsuccessful.
Wrapping goods by Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is produced at our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on a sample matches the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
From custom packaging created for a single product line to the accessories that accompany each order, everything emerges from one production line.
Containers and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes accommodate numerous retail and product packaging needs, with every panel printed to keep your branding in view wherever the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is even opened.
High-quality board material and precise die cutting are just as important here as the printing itself.
Paperboard packaging sleeves and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to fit your product, rather than a generic size, cutting down on wasted space and damage caused in transit by a ill-fitting box.
For bulkier or bigger items, we make full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts shield and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in one order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change monthly.
Wrapping services for any industry
Our top-quality packaging is designed to support a diverse range of products across many industries.
Grocery packing products
We hold 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 moving into retail.
Across every category we supply, food and drink packaging demands the most attention, because safety where packaging meets the product must always come before the box’s appearance.
Premium market
For jewellery, a bespoke insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We create packaging that elevates your items and provides your brand a premium feel.
Letter boxes and digital retailers
A damaged mailer can spark a return or refund request, so online brands need a box strong enough to pass through the delivery network undamaged.
Additionally, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a memorable experience.
Converting an opening into loyal customers and, from time to time, unpaid online advertising!
Keeping every reordering steady
We process each reorder precisely as we do a initial order, using the same designated contact, unchanged proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used before.
As larger quantities are ordered, the price per unit falls, with the savings already reflected in the pricing, leaving you without a discount code to remember.
That identical pricing structure covers twenty boxes, a few thousand restocked within a quarter, and a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
Even a matched reorder from another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as an completely new design.
Nothing is accepted solely because it is designed to look like something you already had.
Sustainable sourcing from our top packaging site
Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, contributing to a reduction in plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate purely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
How swapping or commencing happens
Please contact us with an rough outline of the items you need packed, your location in St Albans, the amount required, and whether an existing supplier must be matched.
Order a sample through our free samples service when testing new products or checking quality before committing with a full order.
Approve the proof after our team has prepared the artwork, aligned it with any existing specification, and verified the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery normally take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and St Albans addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
Order again whenever required, with the same named contact and specification already on file!

Find the right packaging solution for your requirements with Custom Pack Studio today.
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 beginning with a blank page.
Beginning anew works just as well!
Tell us what you plan to pack and the amount needed, either over the phone or by putting together a design with our online tool before placing your order. We will then send a swift written quotation, with no obligation to proceed.
Your initial sample is free, and it is free again when an existing account transfers to us. In both cases, the person preparing your quotation will still be the same person looking after your account in two years.
Irrespective of your business location, we deliver throughout the UK directly to St Albans from the same Irvine factory.
