Food packaging plays a vital role in the journey from production to purchase. It must protect the food, keep it fresh, comply with hygiene and safety regulations, and appeal to consumers at the point of sale.

When you’re producing and selling food, its packaging can make all the difference. With countless options filling the aisles at large stores, most people rely on the packaging to help them make a decision. At Kennedy Smith, we are aware of how true this is, and food packaging really is our bread and butter. We have the knowledge, experience, and technology to deliver solutions that help ensure that your food products are packaged safely and well.

As a fully BRC Certified company, all our food packaging is developed in full compliance with the vitally important BRC Global standards from design to deliverability, ensuring the very highest standards of food safety, product integrity, and customer confidence.

BRC certification is much more than a box ticking exercise, it is a sign of our commitment to traceability, contamination control, print quality and is an essential requirement for any packaging company in the food packaging sector.

We design and manufacture packaging that helps retailers and food businesses achieve their goals. Whether the product is a frozen meal, a chilled snack, fresh produce, or a bakery item, we provide custom cartons that protect contents while showcasing them in a visually appealing way. Our range includes everything from premium printed cartons to budget-friendly sleeves and skillets for ready meals, giving brands the flexibility to balance presentation, performance, and cost.

By continually investing in the latest printing, die-cutting, and gluing technology, we can adapt to projects of every size, from small bespoke runs for artisan producers to high-volume contracts for national supermarket ranges. Whatever the scale, our focus remains the same: packaging that performs in demanding supply chains while giving products the shelf presence they need to stand out.

When it comes to healthcare and pharmaceutical products, packaging requirements are often stringent and non-negotiable. Packaging must ensure product integrity, patient safety, and full compliance with industry regulations. At Kennedy Smith, we have developed specialist expertise in manufacturing packaging solutions for these highly regulated sectors.

Our cartons can include features such as Braille embossing for accessibility, tamper-evident designs, and precise gluing to guarantee secure closure. We follow rigorous quality procedures when it comes to our manufacturing methods and hold an ISO 9001 certification, which ensures that our processes are reliable and always held to a high standard.

Our expertise at Kennedy Smith also extends to manufacturing packaging solutions for drinks and beverages. When it comes to drink products like whisky and gin, packaging plays an integral part as it can contribute to visual storytelling and help convey the brand message and values to your customers.

From the aisle with all the fizzy drinks in a local supermarket to a shelf in a specialist whisky retailer, these types of niches are usually saturated marketplaces with so many products that already exist. It is quality packaging that makes a difference and helps your product standout.

We support brands with packaging that combines strength and style, allowing products to make the right kind of impression on clients, distributors and customers. With advanced print options and high-quality finishing techniques such as embossing and foiling, we provide packaging that reflects the quality products inside.

In addition, we ensure design integration to ensure that cartons and labels work seamlessly together, giving the final product a polished and professional finish.

Electronic products often require additional packaging considerations to ensure product safety and product deliverability.

In such a highly competitive niche, appearance matters, and our custom packaging ensures that your products and innovations make the first impression they deserve on your target market from the very first glance.

Our expertise is manufacturing specialist packaging solutions, and we understand that when it comes to electronic products additional safety measures to ensure that the product is adequately protected for shipping and retail environments is crucial.

We at Kennedy Smith have a proven record delivering packaging solutions for companies that operate within strictly regulated environments. Therefore, if your business and your products have specific packaging needs, our team can work with you to design and manufacture appropriate solutions to ensure that your electronic products are packaged in a manner that is safe and secure.

No two businesses are alike, and not all products can be served by standard packaging. This is why we offer custom packaging and bespoke packaging solutions. Our team works closely with clients to create tailored packaging that reflects their unique requirements.

Every project we take on is approached with professionalism, care and creativity. We regard each new challenge as an opportunity to deliver packaging design that is practical, cost-effective, and is closely aligned with the values of your brand.
