Sustainable Packaging for Small Businesses
Packaging Supplier Thornaby-on-Tees

Regardless of your packaging requirements, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, are managed by one factory and one dedicated team.

We keep your artwork safely in our records, match your colours with the same accuracy on the tenth reorder as on the first, and tell you straight away if a deadline seems tight.

A the same named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The spec remains unchanged because the same person stays responsible.

For a packaging supplier designed to grow with your business, get in touch with the friendly team at Custom Pack Studio today.

What alterations happen when packaging becomes an ongoing supplier relationship with Thornaby-on-Tees

A initial order is really about the box itself: will it fit, print well and be delivered on time?

A relationship with a supplier builds trust by order six, when an identical product requires the same colour and fit, without requiring the specification again.

By handling 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 professional quoting your job also runs it on the press.

Questions about a reorder go directly to them for a clear, honest answer.

How come Thornaby-on-Tees businesses opt for our company’s packaging solutions

No minimum requirement on any listing

We do not impose a minimum order for any item we produce, meaning one sample and a five-hundred-unit reorder follow the same process.

We do not need a minimum volume to take on your job, and small orders never attract an additional charge.

As a result, we grow with your Thornaby-on-Tees business.

When the time comes to develop your business or product line, we will support you at each stage.

A personal contact, right from enquiry through to delivery

One dedicated contact oversees your account from enquiry right through to delivery and knows your details when you are ready to order again.

You speak to one dedicated team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a new member of the team each time you call.

Numerous decades of on-site manufacturing

Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has been operating presses in the UK from 1997.

This longstanding history ensures that the board and ink suppliers involved with your order are reliable relationships cultivated over decades, rather than found afresh for each individual job.

Since we mix our own ink and keep board stock, colour matching does not depend on a third party printer interpreting your brief.

The facility makes precisely what is approved on the proof.

Delivery customised to your Thornaby-on-Tees company

We ship nationwide, regardless of where your business is located, from a one sample to a full pallet.

Each consignment is collected from the same Irvine factory according to a single consistent schedule, whatever the size of the order or delivery destination in Thornaby-on-Tees.

Whether you need a single box provided for approval or multiple pallets planned around a launch date, one logistics process handles both, so that delivery stays consistent as the order expands.

Tailor Made Designs Created Around Your Offering

Some products do not sit within a standard box.

If yours has an irregular shape or challenging dimensions, we plan the structure to fit it perfectly. Components that require separation during transit receive the same careful treatment, incorporated into the structure from the outset rather than being added afterwards.

Our design team evaluates your real product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An early sample assesses fit and function before any unit enters full production.

If the die cut requires refinement, we revise it and provide another sample instead of creating a batch that does not work.

Luminae Packaging - Custom Pack Studio

Packing items from Personalised Pack Studio

All packaging in our collection is produced at our own factory, ensuring that the finish approved from a sample is precisely the finish delivered for an order of five hundred.

Whether it’s custom packaging for a single product line or the accessories that complete an order, it is all produced on one production line.

Boxes and boxes

Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for varied retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers are placed.

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 standard 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 designed to fit your goods, rather than a standard size, reducing wasted space and damage resulting in transit by a badly fitting box.

For bigger or heavier items, we create corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts provide cushioning for the items inside.

A gusseted box expands to fit multiple items in one order, making it particularly suitable for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that differ each month.

Packing options for any industry

Our high-quality packaging is thoughtfully designed to protect products across a broad range of industries.

Food packaging materials

We hold High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, frequently the first aspect food packaging customers ask about, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.

Of every category we offer, food and drink packaging is governed by the most rigorous requirements, as ensuring safe contact with the product takes priority over the box’s visual appeal.

Premium field

For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity secures each product safely during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the contents.

We create packaging designs that complement your goods, giving your brand a distinctly luxurious feel.

Postal box and online business brands

A squashed mailer often prompts a return or refund request, so e-commerce brands need a box designed to survive the courier network intact.

Moreover, tailored packaging transforms unboxing into a lasting experience.

An opening can lead to customer loyalty and, at times, free advertising online.

Maintaining every re-arrangement in line

We process each 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 before.

As your order gets larger, the unit cost falls, with savings already reflected in the price, so there is no discount code to remember!

The same price structure applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for large-volume delivery.

Even a matched reorder from another supplier is given the same proofing and quality checks as an completely new design.

Nothing is accepted without scrutiny merely because it is designed to look like something you already possessed.

Environmentally conscious acquisition from our premier packaging site

Each box we produce is 100% recyclable, contributing to a reduction in plastic and landfill waste.

We won’t introduce laminate solely for a glossy 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.

If you need a sustainability claim to withstand procurement audit scrutiny, we would be pleased to talk it through with you in person or over the telephone.

How swapping or beginning happens

Get in touch with us with an general description of what you need to pack, your location in Thornaby-on-Tees, the amount needed, and whether we need to match an existing supplier.

If you are exploring new products or simply 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 finishes the artwork, adheres to any existing specification and sets out the pricing in writing.

Manufacturing and delivery normally take two to three weeks. The majority of UK and Thornaby-on-Tees addresses get their orders within one to two working days of being dispatched.

As needed, reorder through the same named contact, using the specification already held on file.

Find your suitable packaging solution with Custom Pack Studio now.

Call 01294 314 919 or email contact@custompackstudio.co.uk. Switching from another supplier? Send us your current specification or a sample of your existing box, and we can quote directly against it, without starting from a blank page.

Beginning from scratch can be equally effective.

Give an approximate description of your packing needs and how many you need by telephone, or start designing with our online design tool before ordering. We will promptly send a written quotation, with no requirement to proceed.

A specimen is complimentary with a initial order, and again on the day an current account moves over to us. In either instance, the person giving the quotation will still be managing your account two years from now.

No matter what your business location, we deliver throughout the UK directly to Thornaby-on-Tees from our Irvine factory.
