How shifts happen whenever wrapping develops into an continuous distributor collaboration
An initial run largely concerns the box itself, including whether it fits, prints clearly, and arrives as scheduled.
A relationship with a supplier gains trust by order six, when an identical product needs the same colour and fit, without requiring the specification again.
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 team member preparing your quotation will likewise operate your job on the press.
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can contact them directly and get a honest answer.
Why Stevenage businesses trust our packing solutions
There is no minimum order on all items.
We do not impose a minimum order for any products we make, so a single sample and a reorder of five hundred units are handled through the same process.
We do not require a minimum quantity before accepting your work, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This shows we grow with your Stevenage business.
Whenever you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will be by your side throughout each stage of your journey!
One sole designated contact from enquiry through to delivery
The same dedicated personal contact manages your account from initial enquiry through to delivery, already being familiar with your specification when you are ready to order again.
You will not be passed between departments or made to explain the job again to someone new whenever you call.
Years of in-house production
From 1997, our parent business, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK.
That heritage means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are trusted relationships built over decades, rather than new sources found for every incoming job.
Since we produce our own ink and maintain board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The edition approved on the proof is precisely what leaves the plant.
Delivery tailored to suit your Stevenage enterprise
We supply nationwide, wherever your business is based, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
Our collection operation collects from the same factory in Irvine on a fixed schedule, regardless of the size of the order or delivery destination in Stevenage.
Whether you require a single box sent for sign-off or multiple pallets scheduled for a launch date, one consistent logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery stays consistent as your order grows.
Bespoke plans crafted for your goods
Particular products defy the size of a regular 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 integrated into the structure from the outset rather than added afterwards.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, rather than a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a first sample confirms its fit and function.
If the die cut requires refinement, we revise it and provide a second sample instead of producing a batch that does not meet requirements.
Wrapping items from Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging within our collection is manufactured in our own factory, meaning the finish approved on the basis of a sample is precisely the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
Everything from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is made on one production line.
Boxes and carton boxes
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to ensure your branding in view regardless of how the container is placed on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid handles much of the selling before being opened.
The quality of the board and the accuracy of its die cut are just as important here as the printing itself.
Cardboard mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s dimensions rather than a standard size, reducing the need for void fill and limiting damage resulting from a poorly fitting box in transit.
For larger or more substantial items, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts provide cushioning for the items inside.
A gusseted box opens out to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Packing approaches for the sector
Our high-quality packaging is meticulously designed to support products across a diverse range of industries.
Food packeting components
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is usually the first thing food packaging customers ask about, from smaller bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Packaging for food and beverages must meet the most demanding standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety comes before appearance.
Luxury sector
When jewellery and cosmetics travel, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product securely, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We assist you in designing packaging that complements your products, adding a upmarket feel for your brand.
Post containers & ecommerce names
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it typically signals a return or refund request, leaving online brands requiring packaging sturdy enough to arrive intact from the courier system.
Additionally, tailored packaging turns opening your order into a memorable experience.
Turning an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising.
Ensuring every reorder orderly
We process each reorder in exactly the same way as a initial order, using the same named contact, identical proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
As your order increases, the unit cost decreases, with savings built into the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
This pricing structure applies equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from a different supplier goes through the same proofing process and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Nothing gets approved automatically simply because it is similar to something you already had!
Sustainable sourcing from our leading packaging plant
Each box we create is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box harder to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If a sustainability statement need reviewing during a procurement audit, we would be pleased to examine it with you face to face or by telephone.
How modifying or beginning works
Please contact us with an approximate outline of the items you need packed, where you are based in Stevenage, the amount required, and whether an existing supplier must be matched.
Request a sample through our free samples service when trialling new products or reviewing quality before committing to a full order.
Approve the proof after our team completes the artwork, matches any existing specification and confirms the pricing in writing.
Production and delivery usually take two to three weeks, while most UK and Stevenage addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
As needed, reorder via your established named contact using the specification already on file.
