Whatever your packaging needs, from one sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, are overseen by one factory and one dedicated team.
We retain your artwork, reproduce your colours as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you frankly when a deadline is challenging.
One dedicated contact handles your query, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder after two years. The specification stays consistent because the same person handles everything!
For a packaging supplier intended to grow alongside your business, get in touch with the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio today.
How do shifts arise when packing becomes a uninterrupted supplier partnership involving St Helens?
When that initial order comes in, attention turns to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it reaches you on time.
A strong supplier relationship demonstrates its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification once more.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness stay consistent from your first order to every reorder.
The individual providing a quote for your job runs it on the press as well!
Any questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a straightforward, honest answer.
Why St Helens-led businesses rely on our packing solutions
No minimum spend on any item.
There is no minimum order for any item we produce, so a single sample or a repeat order of five hundred units goes through exactly the same process!
Whether the order is limited or substantial, we are ready to take it on, with no minimum order quantity required and no extra fee simply because it is limited.
In other words, we develop alongside your St Helens business.
When the moment arrives to grow your business or extend your product range, we will stand beside you at all stages of the process.
One dedicated named contact throughout enquiry until delivery
A single dedicated contact manages your account from enquiry right through to delivery and understands your specification when you are next ready to reorder.
You work with one dedicated team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a new member of the team whenever you call.
Many generations of onsite manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has been operating presses in the UK from 1997.
This history indicates the board and ink suppliers working on your order are long-established partners, built over decades rather than selected anew for each incoming job.
We blend ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The factory makes precisely what is approved on the proof.
Courier service designed to suit your St Helens firm
We deliver nationwide, wherever your business is based, from a single sample to a full pallet.
Every order is collected by our delivery service from the Irvine factory under one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in St Helens.
Whether a single box requires couriering for approval or several pallets must arrive for a launch date, one logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery remains consistent as orders expand.
Customised plans crafted for your goods
Not each product is well suited to a standard box.
If yours has an atypical shape or difficult dimensions, we create the structure to fit it precisely. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same careful treatment, integrated into the structure from the outset rather than added later.
Our team of designers deals directly with your actual product rather than using only a spec sheet. The first sample tests fit and function before full production begins.
If the die cut needs adjustment, we modify it and dispatch another sample rather than producing a batch that is not appropriate.
Boxing products from Tailored Pack Studio
Every piece of packaging in our range is produced within our own factory, meaning that the finish approved on your sample is precisely the finish supplied with an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories that finish off each order, everything is produced on a one production line.
Crates and parcels
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit numerous retail and product packaging needs, with each panel printed to keep your branding visible wherever the container stands on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box featuring magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product prior to being opened.
Premium quality board material and an accurate die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Corrugated postage mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are produced to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and reducing damage resulting from a poorly fitting box during transit.
For larger or heavier items, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in complete colour, while printed inserts give cushioning for the items inside.
A gusseted box increases in size to contain multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle deal whose contents vary each month.
Wrapping designed to your own industry
Our high-quality packaging is suitable for many products across a range of industries.
Meal packeting supplies
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first detail our food packaging customers ask about, whether they operate a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier branching into retail.
Food and drink packaging meets the strictest requirements across everything we supply, as keeping products safe in contact is much more important than the appearance of the box.
High end market
When jewellery and cosmetics travel, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product securely, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect what lies within.
We work with you to create packaging that complements your products and adds a luxurious feel to your brand.
Mail boxes and ecommerce brands
A mailer arriving crushed often prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box built to endure the courier network and reach its destination intact.
Additionally, tailored packaging turns opening your order into a memorable experience.
Turning an opening into loyal customers and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Keeping each reorder uniformly
A reorder adheres to the same procedure as a initial order, using the same designated contact and proofing process, with board and ink sourced from the same suppliers as before.
As your order increases in size, the lower unit cost is reflected directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to enter.
This pricing approach applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A repeat order from another supplier undergoes the same proofing procedure and thorough quality checks as an completely new design.
No item is accepted solely because it is intended to look like something you already had.
Eco-friendly procurement from our leading packaging facility
Every box we make is entirely recyclable, helping to cut down on both plastic waste and waste sent to landfill.
We won’t add laminate only for a glossy finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If a sustainability claim needs to withstand a procurement audit, we are glad to discuss it face to face or by telephone.
How transitioning or starting happens
Please get in touch us with an rough outline of what you need to pack, your location in St Helens, the quantity required, and whether an existing supplier must be matched.
If you are considering new products or wish to assess their quality before placing a complete order, you can ask for a sample via our complimentary samples service.
Authorise the proof after our team has completed the artwork, matched any existing spec and confirmed pricing in writing.
Production and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while most UK and St Helens addresses get their orders within one to two working days following dispatch.
When required, reorder through your existing named contact using the specification already on file.
