Whatever your packaging requirements, from a single sample to a full range of products for a continuing account, are handled by a single factory and a single dedicated team.
We store your artwork securely in our records, reproduce your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and inform you promptly if a deadline appears challenging.
One dedicated contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from your initial sample through to a reorder two years later. Your spec remains unchanged because the same person oversees everything.

What differs when packing turns into an long-term vendor alliance?
Once that first order arrives, the focus shifts to the box: its fit, its print quality, and whether it reaches you on time.
A supplier relationship becomes important on order six, when the same product needs 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 very own factory, ensuring colour and wall thickness remain the same from your first order through every reorder.
The person putting together your quotation is also the one who manages your job on the press.
If something about a reorder requires clarification, contact them directly for a straightforward, honest response.
Why Thetford-based businesses rely on our packaging solutions
Absolutely no minimum purchase on any article
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 have no minimum volume requirement, and a lower-volume order will not attract an additional charge.
As a result, we develop alongside your Thetford enterprise.
When the time comes to grow your business or broaden your product range, our support will remain with you at every stage of the journey.
One dedicated contact, from question to dispatch
A single dedicated contact manages your account from the initial enquiry to delivery, maintaining a clear understanding of your specification when you are prepared to place another order.
You are never transferred between departments or expected to describe the job again to a different member of the team whenever you call.
Numerous years of internal manufacturing
From 1997, our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has managed printing presses in the UK.
That background means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are long-standing contacts built over decades, rather than found anew for each job.
We mix our own ink and hold board stock ourselves, so colour matching never depends on a third-party printer understanding your brief.
The factory produces precisely what appears on the approved proof.
Despatch customised to your Thetford operation
We deliver throughout the country, wherever your business is based, whether you need a single sample or a full pallet.
Our delivery service collects all orders from the same Irvine factory according to one schedule, regardless of its dimensions or destination in Thetford.
Whether you need one box sent for approval or several pallets planned around a launch date, the same logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order grows.
Personalised designs created around your offering.
Some products do not fit inside a standard box.
When yours has an uncommon shape or challenging dimensions, we design the structure to work around it. Components requiring separation during transit are given the same consideration, being built into the structure instead of being added afterwards.
Your actual product is where our design journey begins, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a first sample checks its fit and function.
If the die cut needs refinement, we adjust it and provide another sample instead of making a batch that does not work.
Packaging products from Tailored Pack Studio
Each item in our packaging range is made at our own factory, so the finish approved on your sample is exactly what you receive when ordering five hundred.
From bespoke packaging for a single product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is manufactured on a single production line.
Crates and parcels
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for many retail packaging requirements. Printing extends across every panel, helping ensure the branding remains visible regardless of how the container sits on a shelf.
When it comes to jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it is even opened.
The quality of the board material and the precision of the die cut are just as important as the print itself.
Cardboard mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are designed to match your product’s dimensions instead of a standard size, minimising the need for void fill and limiting damage caused by a poorly fitting box during transit.
For weightier or more sizeable items, we make full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts help protect and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box opens out to fit several items in one order, making it a good choice for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents differ each month.
Packing customised to each field
Our premium packaging is ideally suited to a wide range of products across many industries.
Food packing materials
Our BRC Global Packaging certification covers the High Hygiene level. It is generally the initial assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Of every category we offer, 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 sector
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity keeps each product safely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the contents.
We design packaging that elevates your items and provides your brand a luxurious feel.
Post mailboxes and digital brands
A squashed mailer often results in a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box designed to withstand the courier network intact.
Furthermore, bespoke packaging turns unboxing into a memorable experience.
An opening can become customer loyalty and, at times, free advertising online.
Preserving every rearrangement consistently
We process every reorder as we would a first order, retaining the same named contact and proofing process, while sourcing the board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
The cost per unit reduces as the order size rises, with those price reductions already factored in the pricing rather than relying on a discount code you have to remember to enter.
The same price structure applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished over the course of a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder supplied by a different supplier is put through identical proofing and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Each item is reviewed independently, even when made to resemble something you had owned previously.
Responsible sourcing from our first-rate packaging establishment
Every box we create is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a glossy finish if doing so makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are reducing our use of single use plastic and EPS foam throughout 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.
How adapting or initiating works
Please contact us with an approximate description of what you need to pack, your location in Thetford, the quantity you require, and whether we need to replicate an existing supplier.
If you are exploring new products or want to check their quality before placing a full order, ask for a sample through our free samples service.
Approve the proof after our team has created the artwork, matched any existing spec and verified pricing in writing.
Production and delivery normally take two to three weeks, while the majority of UK and Thetford addresses receive their orders within one to two working days following dispatch.
As required, place a repeat order through the same named contact using the same specification held on file.
