Regardless of your packaging requirements, from one sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team manage everything.
We retain your artwork on file, reproduce your colours on your tenth reorder as we did on the first, and tell you honestly when a deadline is tight.
A named representative oversees your request, manufacturing and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder after two years. Because they remain involved, the specification stays the same.
For a packaging supplier designed to grow alongside your business, reach out to the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio today.
How packing transforms when it becomes a continuing vendor association
An initial order is chiefly about the box itself: whether its measurements are appropriate, whether it prints well, and whether it arrives on time.
A supplier relationship becomes important on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you needing to explain the specification again from the start.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain uniform from your first order through each reorder.
The team member putting together your quotation will likewise handle your job on the press.
Questions about a reorder go directly to them for a clear, genuine answer.
How come Thatcham businesses select our company’s packaging solutions
No minimum quantity on the whole selection.
We place no minimum order requirement on anything we produce, so the same process applies to one sample and a five hundred unit reorder.
We set no minimum volume requirement, and a small order will not carry an additional charge.
This shows we develop alongside your Thatcham business.
When you feel ready to develop your business or product line, we will guide you throughout your journey.
Exclusive dedicated contact, from enquiry to completion
Your assigned contact remains with your account from enquiry right through to delivery, so they understand your spec when you are ready to reorder.
You speak to one consistent team, so you are not required to explain the job again to a new person whenever you call.
Several generations of onsite manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
This history means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are established over many years partners, formed over decades rather than newly sourced for each new job.
As we prepare the ink and maintain our own board stock, your colour match does not rely on an outside printer’s interpretation of your brief.
What you approve on the proof is precisely what leaves the factory!
Distribution bespoke to fit your Thatcham operation
No matter where your business calls its base across the country, we deliver from one sample to a full pallet.
Our delivery service picks up every order from the same Irvine factory according to one schedule, regardless of its size or destination in Thatcham.
Whether you are seeking a single box sent for approval or multiple pallets arranged for a launch date, one reliable logistics process handles both, ensuring delivery stays consistent as your order increases.
Customised concepts crafted centred on your item
A few products do not sit within a standard box.
If yours has an atypical shape or awkward dimensions, we design the structure to fit it precisely. Components that require separation during transit receive the same careful treatment, incorporated into the structure from the start rather than added later.
Our design professionals review your physical product rather than relying solely on specifications. An first sample verifies fit and operation before any unit moves into full production.
If the die cut requires adjustment, we make the necessary changes and send a second sample instead of creating an unusable batch.
Wrapping goods from Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is made at our own facility, helping to ensure the finish accepted on your sample is identical to that 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 containers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes work well for a wide range of retail and product packaging, with printing on every panel to keep your branding visible regardless of how the container is arranged on a shelf.
For jewellery and gift-giving, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid performs much of the selling before it has even been opened.
The quality of the board material and accuracy of the die cutting are equally important as the print itself.
Cardboard postal packets and delivery packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to suit your product’s measurements, reducing surplus void fill and limiting the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause in transit.
For heavier or bulkier items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts keep everything inside safely cushioned.
A gusseted box expands to hold multiple items in one order, making it suitable for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents change each month.
Packaging for your particular market
Our high-quality packaging is developed to serve a diverse range of products across numerous industries.
Meal packing supplies
We have High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, often the first point food packaging customers ask about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Food and drink packaging is subject to the most stringent requirements of every category we supply, because product contact safety outweighs the box’s visual appeal.
Premium market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a customised insert or foam cavity keeps products safe during transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the contents.
We help you create packaging that complements your items and gives your brand a premium feel.
Postal mailboxes and internet companies
A squashed mailer can spark a return or refund request, so online brands need a box tough enough to pass through the delivery network undamaged.
What’s more, bespoke packaging makes opening your order a a memorable unboxing experience!
Turning an opening into lasting customer loyalty and, at times, free online advertising.
Maintaining all reshuffling in consistency
We process every reorder precisely as we do a first order, using the same named contact, unchanged proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used before.
As your order becomes larger, the reduced unit cost is shown directly in the quoted price, so there is no discount code to enter.
The same pricing structure is applicable to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, and even a pallet prepared for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from a different supplier goes through the same proofing process and quality checks as a completely new design.
No item passes inspection simply because it resembles something you possess already.
Sustainable procurement from our leading packaging plant
Each box we produce is completely recyclable, supporting efforts to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
Should a sustainability claim come under scrutiny in a procurement audit, we would be delighted to talk it through with you face to face or by telephone.
How adapting as well as initiating functions
Please contact us with an approximate outline of the items you need packed, where you are based in Thatcham, the amount required, and whether an existing supplier must be matched.
If you are evaluating new products or wish to assess their quality before placing a complete order, you can request a sample via our complimentary samples service.
Give approval to the proof after our team has created the artwork, matched it to any current specification and given written price confirmation.
Production and delivery generally require two to three weeks, while most UK and Thatcham addresses receive their orders within one to two working days after dispatch.
If necessary, reorder via your established named contact using the specification already held on file.
