Whatever your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team manage everything.
We retain your artwork in our records, reproduce colours on your tenth reorder with the same accuracy as on the first, and speak plainly when deadlines are tight.
From your first sample to a reorder two years afterwards, one named contact handles your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification stays the same because the same person continues at the helm.

What kind of shifts arise when packaging becomes an sustained supplier relationship with Stretford
An early order typically centres on the box in question: whether it fits properly, prints clearly and arrives on schedule.
A supplier relationship matters on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification again from the start.
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 subsequent reorder.
The person who prices your job also prints it on the press.
Any questions about a reorder should be directed straight to them for a straightforward, honest answer.
Why Stretford businesses choose our packaging options
No minimum order on all item
We impose no minimum order on any product we produce, so one sample and a reorder of five hundred units follow identical procedures.
Whether the order is modest or considerable, we are ready to take it on, with no minimum volume required and no extra fee simply because it is modest.
As a result, our growth stays aligned with your Stretford business.
When you are ready to grow your business or product line, we will support you throughout your journey.
One dedicated contact, starting from enquiry up to delivery
One dedicated contact oversees your account from enquiry right through to delivery and knows your specification when you are ready to order again.
You are never passed between departments or required to explain the job again to a new member of the team whenever you telephone.
Numerous years of internal manufacturing
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, the parent company of our business, has been operating presses in the UK since 1997.
This longstanding history helps ensure that the board and ink suppliers involved with your order are trusted relationships developed over decades, rather than found afresh for each incoming job.
As we blend ink and keep our own board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
Whatever you approve on the proof is exactly what leaves the factory!
Distribution customised to the Stretford business
We deliver throughout the country, wherever your business is located, whether you need a single sample or a full pallet.
In Stretford, our delivery service keeps 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, one reliable logistics process handles everything, so delivery remains unchanged as your order grows.
Personalised creations crafted to suit your item.
Some products do not fit within a standard box.
Where yours has an irregular shape or unusual dimensions, we build the structure around it. Components requiring separation during transit are given the same careful approach, with their protection integrated into the structure from the outset rather than attached afterwards.
Our design department deals directly with your actual product rather than using only a spec sheet. The first sample tests fit and function before complete production starts.
If the die cut needs altering, we amend it and send a second sample rather than creating a batch that is unsuitable.
Wrapping products from Personalised 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 delivered with an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a specific product line or the accessories that complete an order, it is all produced on one production line.
Packages and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes serve a wide range of retail and product packaging needs, with branding featured on every panel so it remains visible wherever the container is placed on the shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid begins selling the product before it is even opened.
The quality of the board material and accuracy of the die cutting are just as important as the print itself.
Recycled envelopes and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s dimensions rather than a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and limiting damage caused by a poorly fitting box during transit.
For bigger or bulkier products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, whilst printed inserts protect the contents within.
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.
Packing personalised to your sector
Our top-grade packaging is ideally suited to a wide range of products across numerous industries.
Meal packing provisions
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first aspect our food packaging customers want to know about, whether they run a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier expanding into retail.
Of every category we provide, food and drink packaging is governed by the most demanding requirements, as ensuring safe contact with the product takes priority over the box’s appearance.
Premium market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity secures each product securely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflect the contents.
We help you in designing packaging that complements your items, creating a upmarket feel for your brand.
Letter containers and online shopping brands
A damaged mailer frequently leads to a return or refund request, making hard-wearing packaging important for e commerce brands that require boxes to withstand the courier network and remain undamaged on arrival.
In addition, tailored packaging transforms opening the parcel into a remarkable unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into loyalty from customers and, occasionally, free online advertising!
Ensuring every rearrangement consistent
We process every reorder in exactly the same way as a initial order, using the same designated contact, identical proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
The price per unit reduces as the size of the order increases, with those price reductions already factored in the price rather than depending on a discount code you must remember to apply.
The same pricing model covers twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, and even a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
Even a matched reorder from another supplier receives identical proofing and quality checks as those applied to an brand-new design.
No item gets approved automatically just because it resembles something you already had!
Eco-friendly procurement from our premier packaging facility
Every box we make remains 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We won’t introduce laminate solely for a shiny 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.
Should a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be delighted to talk it through with you in person or by telephone.
