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 store your artwork on file, ensure colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and give you honest advice when a deadline is especially demanding.
One designated contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from your initial sample through to a further order two years later. Your spec remains unchanged because the same person oversees everything.

How do changes happen when packaging becomes an enduring supplier relationship with Stoke-on-Trent
An initial purchase largely involves the box itself, including whether it is the right fit, prints well, and is delivered on time.
A supplier relationship proves its value on the sixth order, when an equivalent product calls for matching colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification from the beginning.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our very own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain the same from your first order through every reorder.
The person producing your quotation will also handle your job on the press.
If anything about a reorder requires clarification, contact them directly for a straightforward, honest response.
Why Stoke-on-Trent-owned firms choose our packaging solutions
No need for a minimum purchase on each article
We do not require a minimum order for anything we produce, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder are handled through the same process.
We don’t require a minimum order volume, and we don’t add an extra charge solely because your order is limited in size.
This shows we grow with your Stoke-on-Trent business.
When the time comes to grow your business or extend your product range, our support will be there for you at every stage of the journey.
Single exclusive contact, beginning with enquiry through to delivery
The same person continues to be responsible for your account from your initial enquiry through to delivery, already acquainted with your specifications when the time comes to reorder.
You are never moved between departments or expected to outline the job again to a different member of the team whenever you telephone.
Decades of in-house fabrication
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, the parent company of our business, has been operating presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers fulfilling your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than found anew for each job.
As we mix ink and keep our own board stock, colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The sample you approve is exactly what leaves the production facility.
Distribution crafted for your Stoke-on-Trent company
No matter where your business calls home across the country, we supply from one sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service collects from the same factory in Irvine following a regular schedule, regardless of the size of the order or location within Stoke-on-Trent.
Whether you require one box sent for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, the same logistics process manages everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Custom designs made to enhance your offering
Some products do not fit within a regular box.
When yours has an uncommon shape or challenging dimensions, we create the structure to accommodate it. Components needing separation during transit are given the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added at a later stage.
Our design professionals assess your physical product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An initial sample checks fit and performance before any item proceeds to full production.
Should the die cut call for refinement, we revise it and produce a second sample rather than producing an inappropriate batch.
Wrapping merchandise by Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is manufactured at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample matches the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for a single product line to the accessories finishing an order, everything is made on one production line.
Containers and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes accommodate countless retail and product packaging needs, with every panel printed to keep your branding visible wherever the container rests on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid helps sell the product before it is even unwrapped!
The standard of the board material and precision of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Corrugated mailing envelopes and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your goods, rather than a uniform size, cutting down on wasted space and damage resulting in transit by a ill-fitting box.
For larger objects, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts cushion the contents.
A gusseted box expands to fit several items in one order, making it well suited for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Wrapping answers for your sector
Our premium packaging is well suited to varied products across many industries.
Edible packaging supplies
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is typically the initial assurance food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Across every category we supply, food and drink packaging demands the most attention, because safety where packaging meets the product must always precede the box’s appearance.
Elite level market
When jewellery and cosmetics travel, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product safely, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo what lies within.
We help create packaging that suits your items and gives your brand a high-end feel.
Parcel box for digital firms
A crushed mailer often results in a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box made to survive the courier network intact.
What’s in addition, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a a memorable unboxing experience!
Turning an opening into loyalty from customers and, at times, free online advertising!
Maintaining every rearrangement consistent
When a reorder is received, we process it as a first order, maintaining the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
As order quantities increase, the price per unit falls, with the savings already reflected in the pricing, leaving you without a discount code to remember.
This pricing approach is applicable whether you need twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A repeat order from another supplier receives the same proofing process and thorough quality checks as an completely new design.
No item gets approved automatically merely because it looks like something you already had!
Green procurement from our foremost packaging centre
Each box we produce is fully recyclable, which helps reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not introduce 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 throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim needs to withstand a procurement audit, we are happy to talk it through face to face or over the telephone.
How switching or beginning proceeds
Contact us with an rough outline of what you need to pack, your location in Stoke-on-Trent, the quantity required, and whether we need to match an existing supplier.
If you are considering new products or wish to assess their quality before placing a full order, you can request a sample via our complimentary samples service.
Approve the proof after our team prepares the artwork, follows any existing spec and verifies pricing in writing.
Production and delivery normally take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Stoke-on-Trent addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
When needed, reorder via your established named contact using the specification already on file.
