Regardless of your packaging needs, from one sample to a complete range of products for an ongoing account, are handled by one factory and one dedicated team.
We retain your artwork on file, make sure colour matching remains consistent between the first and tenth orders, and give you honest advice when a deadline is especially demanding.
From your first sample to a reorder two years later, one dedicated contact oversees your enquiry, production and delivery. The specification is unchanged because the same person stays at the helm.

Which alterations take place when wrapping becomes a uninterrupted provider partnership with Wigan?
An first order typically centres on the box itself: whether it fits as intended, prints effectively and is delivered on time.
A reliable supplier relationship proves itself on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you having to explain the specification all over again.
We handle board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, making sure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order through each reorder.
The person quoting your job also runs it on the press.
Should any aspect of a reorder require clarification, you can talk to them directly and get a genuine answer.
Why Wigan-based businesses go for our company’s packaging services
There is no minimum purchase on any item
We do not require a minimum order for any products we make, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through the same process.
We have no minimum volume requirement, and a lower-volume order will not incur an additional charge.
In turn, we grow together with your Wigan business.
When you feel ready to develop your business or product line, we will support you throughout your journey.
One dedicated contact, from initial enquiry to fulfilment
One assigned contact oversees your account from enquiry to delivery and understands your requirements when you are next ready to reorder.
You work with one consistent team, so you do not have to repeat the job to a different person whenever you call.
Generations of internal fabrication
Since 1997, our parent business, KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, has operated printing presses in the UK.
That history shows the board and ink suppliers working on your order represent relationships developed over decades, rather than sources newly found for each distinct commission.
As we mix ink and maintain our own board stock, colour matching is not reliant on a third party printer interpreting your brief.
The proof you approve is precisely what leaves the factory.
Distribution bespoke to your Wigan firm
No matter where your business is based in the country, we send out everything from one sample to a full pallet!
In Wigan, our delivery service keeps to the same schedule from the same Irvine factory, whatever the order size or destination.
Whether one box must be sent by courier for approval or multiple pallets need arranging around a launch date, one single logistics process handles everything, ensuring delivery remains unchanged as the order expands.
Bespoke layouts created around your offering.
Some products do not fit within a regular box.
When yours features an unusual shape or difficult dimension, we form the structure to accommodate it. Components needing separation during transit are integrated within it, never attached later.
Your actual product is where our design process starts, instead of a specification sheet alone. Before full production begins, a first sample checks its fit and function.
If the die cut needs refining, we revise it and provide a second sample instead of producing a batch that fails.
Packaging items from Custom Pack Workshop
Every piece of packaging in our collection is crafted within our own factory, meaning that the finish signed off on your sample is exactly the finish delivered with an order of five hundred.
All items from bespoke packaging for one product line to the accessories completing an order is produced on one production line.
Cartons and containers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes work well for different 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 magnetic closure or a foil stamped lid starts presenting the product before it is even unwrapped!
The standard of the board and the accuracy of its die cut are just as important here as the printing itself.
Recycled mailers and shipping packaging
Postal mailer boxes are made to fit your product’s exact dimensions, minimising void fill and helping to prevent the damage that an ill-fitting box may cause during transport.
For heavier or more substantial items, we produce full colour corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, while printed inserts keep the contents safely cushioned inside.
A gusseted box folds out to hold multiple items in one order, making it suitable for a subscription box or bundle whose contents vary each month.
Wrapping services for your industry
Our top-grade packaging is ideally suited to varied products across many industries.
Gourmet wrapping equipment
We maintain BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, and it is often the first detail our food packaging customers ask about, whether they operate a small bakery or are a wholesale supplier branching into retail.
Across every category we supply, food and drink packaging demands the most attention, because safety where packaging meets the product must always take priority over the box’s appearance.
Upscale field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a shaped insert or foam recess keeps the contents from moving in transit, while foil stamping or soft touch lamination mirrors the product within.
We assist you in creating packaging that complements your items, adding a luxurious feel for your brand.
Shipping cartons for internet stores
A damaged mailer can lead to a return or refund request, so e commerce businesses need a box tough enough to pass through the courier network in one piece.
Moreover, tailored packaging provides a lasting unboxing experience.
Turning an opening into customer loyalty and, occasionally, complimentary online advertising.
Keeping each re-arrangement uniform
We process every reorder in exactly the same way as a initial order, using the same named contact, unchanged proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used before.
The cost per unit falls as the size of the order rises, with those savings already incorporated in the price rather than relying on a discount code you need to remember to use.
This pricing approach applies whether you require twenty boxes, several thousand replenished within a quarter, or a pallet secured for bulk delivery.
A matched reorder from a different supplier goes through the same proofing process and quality checks as a brand-new design.
Each item is assessed independently, even when made to resemble something you owned before.
Eco-friendly sourcing from our premier packaging site
Each box we produce is completely recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will refrain from adding laminate only for a glossy finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, whilst reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If your sustainability claim must withstand a procurement audit, we would be pleased to discuss it with you in person or over the phone.
