Regardless of your packaging requirements, from a single sample to a full range of products for an ongoing account, one factory and one team handle everything.
We hold your artwork on file, match colours on your tenth reorder as accurately as on the first, and be straightforward when time is short.
A one named contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery, from the first sample to a reorder two years later. The specification remains consistent because the same person remains responsible.

What shifts occur when packaging becomes an ongoing supplier relationship with Whitstable
An first order usually focuses on the box itself: whether it fits properly, prints effectively and is delivered on time.
A supplier relationship demonstrates its value on the sixth order, when an matching product requires matching colour and fit, without making you restate the specification from the beginning.
We manage board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, keeping colour and wall thickness the same from your first order to every reorder.
The person creating your quotation is also the one who manages your job on the press.
Should a repeat order require clarification, they are the person to speak to directly for a clear, genuine answer.
The Reason Whitstable businesses prefer Our packing solutions
No minimum purchase on anything.
We do not set minimum quantities per order on anything we produce, meaning a single sample and a five hundred unit reorder are handled through exactly the same process.
Whether the order is limited or substantial, we are ready to take it on, with no minimum order quantity required and no added cost simply because it is limited.
This indicates that our growth is consistent with your Whitstable business.
When you feel ready to develop your business or product line, we will guide you throughout your journey.
One designated contact starting from enquiry to delivery
A single dedicated contact stays with your account from the initial enquiry to delivery, so your order details is already understood when you are ready to reorder.
You are never put through from one department to another, nor left repeating the details of your job every time you call.
Many eras of in-house manufacturing
Our parent company, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has run presses in the UK since 1997.
This history indicates the board and ink suppliers supporting your order are long-established partners, formed over decades rather than selected anew for each incoming job.
Because we prepare ink and hold board stock in house, colour matching never depends on a third party printer understanding your brief.
The design proof you accept is exactly what leaves the factory.
Distribution tailored around your Whitstable company
We ship across the country, wherever your business is based, from a one sample to a full pallet.
Every delivery is picked up from the same Irvine factory according to one consistent schedule, whatever the order size or destination in Whitstable.
Whether a single box requires couriering for approval or several pallets must arrive for a launch date, one logistics process manages both, ensuring delivery remains reliable as orders grow.
Tailored designs crafted for your offering
Some products do not sit within a standard box.
If yours has an atypical shape or challenging dimensions, we create the structure to fit it perfectly. Components requiring separation during transit receive the same thoughtful treatment, incorporated into the structure from the outset rather than introduced later.
Our design department collaborates directly with your actual product rather than using only a spec sheet. The first sample checks fit and function before production gets under way.
If the die cut needs modification, we revise it and send a second sample instead of creating an unusable batch.
Boxing wares with the help of Custom Pack Studio
All packaging in our range is made at our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on a sample matches 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.
Cases and cartons
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for many retail and product packaging needs. Printing covers every panel, helping ensure the branding remains visible whatever way the container sits on a shelf.
For jewellery and gifting, a rigid box with magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid handles much of the selling before it has even been opened.
The quality of the board and the accuracy of its die cut are equally important here as the printing itself.
Paperboard mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are manufactured to fit your product’s exact dimensions, reducing void fill and avoiding the damage that an poorly fitting box may cause during transit.
For weightier or more sizeable items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts shield and cushion their contents.
A gusseted box unfolds to accommodate several items in one order, making it ideal for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents differ each month.
Wrapping services for your own industry
Our premium packaging is designed to support a broad selection of products across numerous industries.
Meal packeting materials
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first detail our food packaging customers enquire about, whether they run a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier expanding into retail.
Packaging for food and drinks must meet the most demanding standards of every category we supply, because product contact safety is more important than appearance.
Upscale industry
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess keeps the contents from moving in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination echoes the product within.
We produce packaging designs that suit your items, giving your brand a noticeably luxurious feel.
Postal box and ecommerce labels
A squashed mailer can lead to a request for a return or refund, so online brands need a box tough enough to make its way through the courier network intact.
Additionally, bespoke packaging delivers a remarkable unboxing experience.
Converting an opening into loyal customers and, from time to time, complimentary online advertising.
Maintaining every reorder consistent
When a reorder arrives, we handle it as a first order, retaining the same named contact, using the identical proofing process, and sourcing board and ink from the same suppliers as before.
The unit cost decreases as the quantity ordered grows, with those cost reductions already factored in the pricing rather than relying on a discount code you have to remember to enter.
This pricing model is applied equally to twenty boxes, several thousand replenished during a quarter, or a pallet arranged for bulk delivery.
A repeat order from another supplier undergoes the same proofing procedure and rigorous quality checks as an entirely new design.
No item is accepted without scrutiny just because it is intended to look like something you already had.
Responsible procurement from our leading packaging centre
Every box we produce is completely recyclable, supporting efforts to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will not add laminate solely to create a glossy finish if doing so makes a box more difficult to recycle, and we are phasing out single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we are happy to discuss it face to face or over the telephone.
How modifying or commencing works
Please contact us and share an rough idea of what you need packed, your location in Whitstable, the amount required, and whether we should replicate an existing supplier.
When you are looking into new products or simply want to check their quality before placing a full order, request a sample through our free samples service.
Give approval for the proof after our team has created the artwork, aligned it with any existing specification and confirmed the pricing in writing.
