From a one-off sample to a full range of packaging products for an ongoing account, one factory and one dedicated team bring everything together.
Your artwork stays safely with us, your colours retain their true appearance from the first order through the tenth, and we talk candidly whenever a deadline leaves little room to spare.
One named contact manages your enquiry, production and delivery, from the initial sample through to a reorder two years later. Your spec stays the same because the same person handles all aspects.

What shifts when packaging is transformed into an enduring vendor collaboration?
A first 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 is confirmed on order six, when the same product needs the same colour and fit, without requiring you to restate the specification once more from scratch.
By managing 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 person who provides a quote for your job also runs it on the press.
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can speak to them directly and receive a straightforward answer.
Why Urmston companies go for the packaging services
Zero minimum buy on anything.
We do not have a minimum order for any item we produce, meaning one sample and a five-hundred-unit reorder follow the same process.
We don’t need a minimum volume before accepting your job, nor do we add an additional charge simply because your order is small.
This means our growth stays aligned with your Urmston business.
When you are ready to grow your business or extend your product range, our support will remain with you at every stage of the journey.
One dedicated named contact starting from enquiry until delivery
One dedicated contact manages your account from the initial enquiry to delivery, retaining a clear understanding of your specification when you are ready to place another order.
You are never put through from one department to another, nor required to repeat the details of your job each time you call.
Years of in-house manufacturing
Our holding company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has been operating presses in the UK since 1997.
That history means the board and ink suppliers working on your order are established contacts built over decades, not new sources identified for each incoming job.
We blend ink and hold board stock in house, so colour matching is not dependent on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The factory makes precisely what appears on the approved proof.
Shipment bespoke according to your Urmston enterprise
We send throughout the country, wherever your business is located, whether you need one sample or a full pallet.
In Urmston, our delivery service follows the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, whatever the order size or destination.
Whether you are seeking a single box sent for approval or multiple pallets arranged for a launch date, one reliable logistics process coordinates both, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as your order expands.
Tailored creations developed for your offering
Some products do not fit inside a standard box.
When yours has an irregular shape or difficult dimension, we adapt the structure to embrace it. Components needing separation during transit are built within it, never added later.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, rather than a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a first sample confirms its fit and function.
If the die cut needs refinement, we adjust it and issue another sample instead of creating a batch that fails to work.
Wrapping products from Bespoke Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is produced at our own factory, so that the finish approved on a sample is the same as the finish supplied in an order of five hundred.
Whether it is custom packaging for a single product line or the accessories that complete an order, everything is produced on one production line.
Packages and containers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes suit various retail and product packaging, with each panel printed so branding remains visible wherever containers are placed.
For jewellery and gifts, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid starts selling the product before it is even opened.
The standard of the board and the precision of its die cut are equally important here as the printing itself.
Corrugated letter packaging and freight packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to match your product’s measurements, reducing surplus void fill and limiting the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause in transit.
For bigger or heavier items, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in complete colour, while printed inserts offer cushioning for the contents.
A gusseted box increases in capacity to hold multiple items in one order, making it ideal for a subscription box or bundle deal with contents that vary each month.
Wrapping customised to your sector
Our top-tier packaging is carefully designed to accommodate products across a diverse range of industries.
Food wrapping products
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, frequently being the first assurance our food packaging customers seek, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers expanding into retail.
Packaging for food and drinks must meet the most demanding standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety takes precedence over appearance.
Premium market
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess helps prevent movement while in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination reflects the product within.
We assist you create packaging that suits your items and gives your brand a premium feel.
Postal box and ecommerce brands
When a mailer is delivered crushed, it often leads to a request for a return or refund, making robust packaging important for ecommerce brands navigating courier networks.
Furthermore, tailored packaging makes the opening of your order memorable.
Transforming an opportunity into customer loyalty and, on occasion, complimentary online advertising!
Preserving every rearrangement uniformly
We manage each reorder in exactly the same way as a first order, using the same named contact, unchanged proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
As your order becomes larger, the price per unit decreases, with the saving included in the pricing rather than depending on a discount code.
The same pricing structure applies to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, and even a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder procured from another supplier receives identical proofing and quality checks as a new design.
No item is approved entirely because it is created to resemble something you already had.
Sustainable sourcing from our premier packaging facility
Every box we make is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate only to create a glossy finish if this makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are discontinuing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability statement need reviewing during a procurement audit, we would be happy to discuss it with you in person or by telephone.
