From a single sample to a complete packaging range for a continuing account, one factory and team manage every requirement.
We retain your artwork files on file, make sure colour matching remains consistent from the first order to the tenth, and advise you candidly when a deadline is especially demanding.
One sole contact oversees your query, production and delivery, from the initial sample to a reorder two years later. The specification remains consistent because the same person oversees everything!

In what way differences arise as packing transforms into an long-term distributor partnership
A first order is primarily about the box in question: will it fit, print clearly and be delivered on time?
A strong supplier relationship demonstrates its worth on order six, when the same product requires the same colour and fit, without you explaining the specification once more.
We oversee board stock and ink mixing in our own factory, helping to ensure colour and wall thickness remain consistent from your first order to every reorder.
The team member putting together your quotation is also the one who runs your job on the press.
Any questions about a reorder go directly to them for a straightforward, genuine answer.
Why Winchester-branded businesses turn to our packaging services
No minimum order on anything.
We have no a minimum order for any products we make, so one sample and a five hundred unit reorder go through the same process.
We don’t need a minimum volume before accepting your job, nor do we apply an additional charge simply because your order is limited.
In other words, we develop alongside your Winchester enterprise.
When you are ready to grow your business or broaden your product range, our support will remain with you at every stage of the journey.
A single assigned contact starting from enquiry to delivery
The same person continues to be responsible for your account from your initial enquiry through to delivery, already familiar with your specifications when it is time to reorder.
You are never transferred between departments or asked to go over the job again to someone new whenever you call.
Decades of in-house fabrication
KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, our main company, has run printing presses in the UK since 1997.
That history shows the board and ink suppliers supporting your order reflect relationships established over decades, rather than sources newly found for each individual commission.
As we prepare the ink and keep our own board stock, your colour match is not dependent on an external printer’s interpretation of your brief.
The facility makes precisely what is approved on the proof.
Shipment personalised to your Winchester operation
We supply throughout the country, wherever your business is situated, whether you need a single sample or a complete pallet.
Our delivery service collects from the same factory in Irvine following a consistent schedule, regardless of the size of the order or location within Winchester.
Whether you require one box sent for approval or several pallets scheduled around a launch date, one uniform logistics process oversees everything, so delivery remains unchanged as your order increases.
Tailor Made Designs Crafted Around Your Item
Not every product is suitable to a standard box.
When yours features an distinctive shape or challenging dimension, we shape the structure to embrace it. Components needing separation during transit are built within it, never added later.
Our design specialists review your physical product rather than relying solely on a specification sheet. An first sample verifies fit and performance before any item moves into full production.
If the die cut needs adjustment, we modify it and dispatch another sample rather than producing a batch that is not appropriate.
Packing items from Custom Pack Studio
All packaging within our collection is manufactured in our own factory, ensuring the finish approved on the basis of a sample is precisely the finish supplied for an order of five hundred.
From custom-made packaging for a single product line to the accessories that complete each order, everything is made on one production line.
Packages and containers
Reverse tuck end cartons and crash lock boxes are suitable for different retail and product packaging, with every panel printed so branding can be seen wherever containers sit.
For jewellery and gifts, a rigid box with a magnetic closure or foil stamped lid starts selling the product before it is opened at all.
The quality of the board material and the precision of the die cut are just as important as the print itself.
Cardboard postal envelopes and dispatch packaging
Postal mailer boxes are tailored to your product’s dimensions, cutting down on void fill and avoiding the damage an poorly fitting box can cause in transit.
For bigger or bulkier products, we produce corrugated cardboard boxes and shipping cartons in full colour, while printed inserts protect the contents within.
A gusseted box unfolds to hold several items in one order, making it ideal for subscription boxes or bundle deals whose contents vary each month.
Packing answers for any industry
Our reliable packaging is suitable for numerous products across a range of industries.
Food wrapping materials
Our BRC Global Packaging certification includes the High Hygiene level. It is generally the first assurance food packaging customers look for, from independent bakeries to wholesale suppliers moving 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.
Premium end field
For jewellery and cosmetics, a custom-made insert or foam recess prevents movement during transit, while finishes including foil stamping or soft touch lamination echo the product within.
We produce packaging designs that enhance your products, giving your brand a distinctly luxurious feel.
Postal containers and e-commerce names
When a mailer arrives at its destination crushed, it typically indicates a request for a return or refund, leaving online brands requiring packaging sturdy enough to arrive intact from the courier system.
Additionally, custom-made packaging turns unboxing into a unforgettable experience.
Transforming an opening into loyal customers and, from time to time, complimentary online advertising.
Preserving all reorder in uniformity
We handle every reorder precisely as we do a initial order, using the same designated contact, identical proofing procedure, and board and ink from the suppliers used previously.
As your order grows, the price per unit goes down, with the saving built into the pricing rather than relying on a discount code.
The same pricing structure covers twenty boxes, several thousand restocked during a quarter, and even 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.
Everything is reviewed separately, even when created to match something you had owned previously.
Responsible sourcing from our leading packaging establishment
Every box we make is 100% recyclable, helping to reduce plastic and landfill waste.
We will avoid adding laminate solely for a shiny finish if it makes a box more difficult to recycle, whilst reducing single use plastic and EPS foam throughout the range.
If a sustainability claim needs to withstand a procurement audit, we are happy to discuss it in person or by telephone.
