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 keep your artwork on file, match your colours on your tenth reorder as we did on the first, and tell you honestly when a deadline is tight.
A the same named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The spec stays the same because the same person continues to be responsible.

What changes when packing evolves into an sustained provider collaboration?
A initial order is primarily about the box itself: will it fit, print well and reach you on time?
A working relationship with a supplier is proven on order six, when the same product calls for the same colour and fit, without asking you to explain the specification again from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our very own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through all subsequent reorders.
The person who quotes your job also runs it on the press.
Questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a clear, honest answer.
Why Stourbridge-owned organisations go for the packaging packages
Absolutely no minimum order on any article
We do not impose a minimum order requirement for anything we produce, so the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We don’t require a minimum order volume, and we don’t add an extra charge solely because your order is limited in size.
In other words, we grow with your Stourbridge enterprise.
When the moment arrives to expand your business or extend your product range, we will support you at every stage of the process.
One specific liaison from enquiry to fulfilment
The same person continues to be responsible for your account throughout the process, from initial enquiry to delivery, already aware of your specifications when the time comes to reorder.
You are never put through from one department to another, nor left repeating the details of your job each time you call.
Countless years of in-house manufacturing
Our holding company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
That tradition indicates the board and ink suppliers working on your order reflect relationships established over decades, rather than sources newly found for each distinct commission.
As we mix ink and maintain our own board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
What you approve in the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Distribution customised to suit your Stourbridge operation
We deliver nationwide to your company, whether you need one sample or a complete pallet.
In Stourbridge, our delivery service adheres to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, whatever the order size or destination.
Whether you require one box sent for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, the same logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery stays unchanged as the order grows.
Personalised Designs Created Around Your Item
Some products do not sit within a standard box.
If yours has an unusual shape or awkward dimensions, we plan the structure to suit it exactly. Components that require separation during transit receive the same considered treatment, built into the structure from the outset rather than being added afterwards.
Our design specialists assess your physical product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An first sample verifies fit and performance before any item proceeds to full production.
If the die cut needs refining, we adjust it and prepare a second sample instead of producing a batch that fails.
Enclosing goods by Custom Pack Studio
All packaging within our collection is made in our own factory, so that the finish selected from a sample is exactly the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories that complete every order, everything is made on a one production line.
Crates and parcels
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes meet countless retail and product packaging needs, with branding printed on every panel so it continues to be visible wherever the container is placed on the shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid can begin selling the product before it is even opened.
The quality of the board material and the precision of the die cut are equally important as the print itself.
Corrugated mailers and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are tailored to your product’s dimensions, cutting down on void fill and preventing the damage an ill fitting box can cause in transit.
When larger items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons protect them, while printed inserts carefully cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box expands to accommodate multiple items in a single order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Parceling personalised to your area
Our premium packaging is carefully designed to accommodate products across a wide range of industries.
Edible packaging materials
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is generally the first thing food packaging customers ask about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Of all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the highest level of care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always precede the box’s appearance.
Luxury market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity keeps products safe during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the contents.
We design packaging that showcases your items and gives your brand a high-end feel.
Letter mailboxes and internet businesses
A crushed mailer frequently leads to a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box designed to withstand the courier network and reach its destination intact.
Additionally, tailored packaging delivers a lasting unboxing experience.
Transforming an opening into loyal customers and, from time to time, unpaid online advertising!
Keeping every rearrangement uniform
Your reorder gets exactly the same treatment as your first order. That means the same named contact, identical proofing process, and board and ink supplied by the same suppliers as before.
The cost per unit reduces as the quantity ordered grows, with those price reductions already factored in the price rather than depending on a discount code you must remember to apply.
This pricing approach applies whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand restocked within a quarter, or a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A matching reorder supplied by a different supplier undergoes identical proofing and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Nothing is approved without scrutiny just because it is designed to imitate something you already possessed.
Eco-friendly procurement from our top packaging site
Each box we produce remains 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate only to create a glossy finish if doing so makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are phasing out single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability statement need scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be happy to discuss it with you either in person or by telephone.
