Whatever your packaging requirements, from a single sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team oversee it all.
We keep your artwork safely on file, match your colours just as accurately on the tenth reorder as on the first, and let you know immediately if a deadline appears challenging.
One dedicated contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The specification continues unchanged because the same person oversees everything!

What differences emerge when wrapping becomes an sustained supplier relationship with Thundersley
An first order usually focuses on the box itself: whether it fits properly, prints effectively and arrives on schedule.
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.
Because we manage board stock and ink mixing inside our own factory, your colour and wall thickness stay consistent from the first order through every reorder that follows.
The professional preparing the quote for your job also runs it on the press.
Questions about a reorder go directly to them for a straightforward, honest answer.
Why Thundersley-based enterprises opt for our own packaging services
No minimum quantity required on every item
We do not have a minimum order for any item we produce, meaning one sample and a five-hundred-unit reorder follow the identical process.
We do not need a minimum volume before taking on your work, nor do we add an additional charge simply because the order is limited in size.
This means our growth stays aligned with your Thundersley business.
When you are ready to grow your business or widen your product range, we will stand beside you at each stage of the process.
One sole named contact from enquiry to delivery
Your dedicated contact stays with your account from enquiry all the way through to delivery, so they know your spec when you are ready to reorder.
You are never moved between departments or asked to describe the job again to a different member of the team whenever you telephone.
Numerous years of on-site manufacturing
Our main company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated presses in the UK since 1997.
That background means the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are established contacts developed over decades, not new sources found for each incoming job.
Because we mix ink and hold board stock in house, colour matching never depends on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The proof that you approve is precisely what leaves the factory.
Shipment adapted to your Thundersley operation
Wherever your business is based in the country, we deliver everything from one sample to a complete pallet!
Our collection operation collects from the same factory in Irvine on a set schedule, regardless of the size of the order or destination in Thundersley.
Whether you need a one box sent for approval or a number of pallets arranged for a launch date, one logistics process handles both, so that delivery continues in the same way as the order grows.
Tailored layouts created for your product
Particular products defy the dimensions of a regular box.
When yours presents an unusual shape or challenging dimension, we adapt the structure to embrace it. Components needing separation during transit are incorporated within it, never fitted later.
Our design specialists evaluate your physical product rather than relying solely on specifications. An early sample checks fit and operation before any unit proceeds to full production.
If the die cut requires refinement, we refine it and issue another sample instead of creating a batch that fails to work.
Boxing products from Custom Pack Atelier
Every item of packaging in our collection is produced at our own facility, meaning that the finish agreed from a sample is identically the finish provided for an order of five hundred.
From tailor-made packaging for one product line to the accessories finishing an order, everything is produced on one production line.
Crates and crates
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for varied retail and product packaging, with printing provided across every panel to help ensure the branding in view regardless of how the container is positioned on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid does much of the selling before it has even been opened.
Top quality board material and an accurate die cut are just as important here as the print itself.
Corrugated postal packets and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your product’s exact dimensions, cutting down on void fill and helping to prevent the damage that an poorly fitting box may cause during transit.
When larger items begin their journey, full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons keep them protected, while printed inserts gently cushion everything inside.
A gusseted box opens out to accommodate multiple items in one order, making it well suited for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary monthly.
Packing answers for any industry
Our top-tier packaging is thoughtfully designed to support products across a broad range of industries.
Food packaging substances
We hold High Hygiene BRC Global Packaging certification, often the first point food packaging customers ask about, from small bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving into retail.
Across every category we supply, food and drink packaging demands the greatest care, because safety where packaging meets the product must always take priority over the box’s appearance.
Premium market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a fitted insert or foam cavity holds each product firmly during transit, while finishes such as foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the contents.
We produce packaging designs that enhance your products, providing your brand a noticeably luxurious feel.
Postal boxes and e-commerce businesses
A damaged mailer can lead to a request for a return or refund, so e commerce brands need a box durable enough to travel through the courier network in one piece.
What’s in addition, bespoke packaging transforms opening your order into a memorable unboxing experience!
An opening can become customer loyalty and, sometimes, free advertising online.
Keeping all re-arrangement consistent
When a reorder is received, we handle it as a first order, keeping the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
As your order increases, the unit cost decreases, with savings built into the price, so there is no discount code to keep track of!
The same pricing applies to twenty boxes, a few thousand replenished over the course of a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
Even a matched reorder from another supplier receives identical proofing and quality checks as those applied to an entirely new design.
Every piece is evaluated independently, even when made to match something you had owned previously.
Sustainable procurement from our premier packaging facility
Each box we produce is completely recyclable, supporting efforts to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely for a glossy finish if it makes a box harder to recycle, and we are moving away from single use plastic and EPS foam across the range.
If a sustainability statement require scrutiny during a procurement audit, we would be delighted to discuss it with you either face to face or by telephone.
