From a single sample to a complete range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one committed team bring everything together.
We keep your artwork safely on file, match your colours just as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and inform you promptly if a deadline looks tight.
One sole contact manages your query, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The specification remains consistent because the same person handles everything!

How does changes take place when packaging becomes an sustained supplier relationship with Swinton
Once that first order arrives, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it gets to you by the expected time.
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 beginning.
Because we oversee board stock and ink mixing within our own factory, your colour and wall thickness remain consistent from the initial order through every reorder that follows.
The individual who produces your quotation also manages its production on the press.
If something about a reorder needs explaining, talk to them directly for a clear, genuine answer.
The reasons Swinton businesses pick our packaging services
There is no minimum order on all items.
We do not impose a minimum order requirement for anything we produce, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder follow the same process.
We do not need a minimum volume before taking on your work, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This shows we develop alongside your Swinton enterprise.
When you are ready to expand your business or product line, we will be alongside you throughout every step of your journey!
A personal contact, starting from enquiry up 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 it is time to reorder.
You are never transferred between teams, or required to repeat the details of the job to a different person whenever you get in touch.
Decades of internal manufacturing
Our group company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK from 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are long-standing contacts built over decades, rather than sourced afresh for each job.
As we ready the ink and keep our own board stock, your colour match is not dependent on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.
The version approved on the proof is the same as what leaves the factory.
Distribution tailored to your Swinton company
No matter where your business is based in the country, we send out everything from one sample to a complete pallet!
Every delivery is collected from the same Irvine factory according to one consistent schedule, whatever the size of the order or delivery destination in Swinton.
Whether you need one box couriered for approval or several pallets arranged around a launch date, one reliable logistics process oversees everything, so delivery remains unchanged as your order grows.
Bespoke designs made to enhance your product
Particular products defy the dimensions of a standard box.
If yours has an unusual shape or challenging dimensions, we create the structure to fit it precisely. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same thoughtful treatment, built into the structure from the outset rather than added later.
Our design department uses your actual product rather than depending entirely on a specification sheet. An early sample verifies fit and function before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we modify it and provide a second sample rather than making a batch that is not suitable.
Boxing goods through Custom Pack Studio
All packaging from our collection is produced in our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on the basis of a sample is precisely the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
Whether it’s custom packaging for a single product line or the accessories that complete an order, everything is produced on one production line.
Boxes and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit a diverse range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to keep your branding visible regardless of how the container is placed on a 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 standard of the board material and the precision of the die cut are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard postal packets and dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to fit your item, rather than a generic size, minimising wasted space and damage caused in transit by a poorly fitted box.
For heavier or bulkier items, we make full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts keep everything inside safely cushioned.
A gusseted box opens out to hold multiple items in one order, making it a suitable choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Wrapping services for any business
Our premium packaging is meticulously designed to protect products across a broad range of industries.
Catering packaging provisions
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, which is often the first assurance our food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Of all the categories we supply, food and drink packaging demands the greatest care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always precede the box’s appearance.
Premium market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a tailored insert or foam cavity keeps products safe in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the contents.
We assist you design packaging that enhances your items and gives your brand a luxurious feel.
Postal boxes for ecommerce businesses
When a mailer reaches its destination crushed, it often leads to a request for a return or refund, making robust packaging essential for ecommerce brands navigating courier networks.
In addition, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a memorable experience.
Transforming an opening into customer loyalty and, occasionally, complimentary online advertising.
Keeping every reorder orderly
We handle every reorder in the same way as a first order, using the same named contact, proofing process, and board and ink suppliers as before.
As order quantities increase, the unit price decreases, with savings built into the pricing, leaving you with no discount code to remember.
This pricing structure is applicable whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder supplied by another supplier receives the same proofing and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Each item is assessed separately, even when created to match something you owned before.
Sustainable procurement from our top packaging centre
Each box we make is completely 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 reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If your sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you in person or over the phone.
