Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee the entire process.
We retain your artwork in our records, match your colours on your tenth reorder just as on the first, and let you know candidly when a deadline is tight.
From your first sample to a reorder two years afterwards, one dedicated contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification stays the same because the same person continues at the helm.

How shifts come about if packaging turns into an enduring vendor association
When that initial order comes in, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it gets to you by the expected time.
A supplier relationship is demonstrated on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without asking you to explain the specification again from scratch.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your initial order through each repeat order.
The person who puts together your quotation likewise manages its production on the press.
When a reorder calls for clarity, they are the person you contact directly, ready with a straightforward answer.
Why Stalybridge-owned businesses select our packaging services
There is no minimum purchase on all products.
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, so the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We do not need a minimum volume to take on your job, and small orders never incur an additional charge.
This indicates that our progress is aligned with your Stalybridge business.
As soon as you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will be right beside you throughout each stage of your journey!
Sole identified contact from enquiry to completion
One dedicated contact manages your account from enquiry to delivery and understands your specification when you are next ready to reorder.
You are never passed between departments or expected to explain the job again to a new member of the team whenever you telephone.
Decades of internal manufacturing
Our holding company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
This background ensures that the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are established relationships built over decades, rather than newly sourced for each 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 edition approved on the proof is the same as what leaves the plant.
Despatch customised to your Stalybridge operation
Wherever your business is based in the country, we send out everything from one sample to a complete pallet!
Our delivery service gathers each order from the same Irvine factory according to the same schedule, regardless of its dimensions or destination in Stalybridge.
Whether a single box requires couriering for approval or multiple pallets need to arrive for a launch date, one logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery remains consistent as orders grow.
Customised layouts created for your offering
Not every product is suited to a typical box.
If yours has an atypical shape or unusual dimension, we design the structure to accommodate it. Components requiring separation during transit are treated in the same way, built into the structure instead of being fitted afterwards.
Our design department uses your real product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An first sample verifies fit and function before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut requires refinement, we adjust it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that does not meet requirements.
Packaging items from Custom Packaging Studio
All packaging in our range is manufactured at our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on a sample matches the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
Everything from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories included with an order is produced on one production line.
Packages and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit countless retail and product packaging needs, with every panel printed to keep your branding in view wherever the container rests on a shelf.
For jewellery and gift-giving, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid does much of the selling before being opened.
High-quality board material and precise die cutting are equally important here as the printing itself.
Cardboard delivery packs and postal packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, reducing the need for void fill and reducing damage caused by a poorly fitting box during transit.
When heavier items are sent on their way, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons protect them, while printed inserts carefully cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box increases in capacity to hold multiple items in one order, making it well suited for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.
Packaging personalised to the sector
Our high-quality packaging is carefully designed to protect products across a broad range of industries.
Gourmet packing equipment
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 is subject to our strictest requirements, because product-contact safety comes before the box’s appearance.
Premium market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess keeps the contents from moving in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination mirrors the product within.
We assist you design packaging that suits your items and gives your brand a high-end feel.
Postal containers and ecommerce companies
A crushed mailer often prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box built to survive the courier network intact.
Tailored packaging also provides a memorable unboxing experience.
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, at times, complimentary online advertising.
Keeping every reshuffle reliably
We handle every reorder precisely as we do a initial order, using the same designated contact, unchanged proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
Larger orders bring down the unit cost, with the saving built into the stated price rather than requiring a discount code to be applied.
This pricing model is applied equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder supplied by a different supplier undergoes the same proofing and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Every piece is evaluated separately, even when designed to match something you previously owned.
Sustainable sourcing from our top packaging site
Each box we make is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box harder to recycle. We are also cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability statement need reviewing during a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you in person or over the telephone.
How switching or beginning operates
Contact us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, where you are located in Stalybridge, the number required, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
Take advantage of our free samples service to request a sample when testing new products or checking quality before placing a full order.
Approve the proof after our team has produced the artwork, matched it to any existing specification, and verified the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery typically require two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Stalybridge addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
Whenever required, reorder through the same named contact, using the specification already held on file.

Starting anew can be just as effective.
Tell us what you plan to pack and the amount needed, either by phone or by creating a design with our online tool before placing your order. We will then send a prompt written quotation, with no obligation to proceed.
Your initial order comes with a free sample, as does the day an existing account moves across to us. In both cases, the person preparing the quote will still manage your account two years from now.
We ship throughout the UK straight to Stalybridge from the same Irvine factory, wherever your business is based.
