How fast can you start?

We can begin this week once we receive your products and brief. We start with a plain sample for sign-off, then artwork and production.

Do you provide a sample?

Yes, a plain sample is supplied for structure and fit before print. A 3D visual is used to confirm artwork.

What quantities work best?

Typical short runs are 50 to 500 units, with larger volumes on request.

Are materials recyclable?

Yes. We use FSC-certified boards and recyclable card fitments as standard.

Do you offer fulfilment?

Yes. We handle kitting, assembly and co-packing, with batch or multi-address despatch and tracking.

How are boxes shipped?

Either individually in brown outer cartons for mailouts, or bulk-packed in master cartons.

Will fragile items be safe?

Made-to-fit card holds protect products in transit and during on-camera unboxing.

PRESS KIT PACKAGING FOR EDITORS AND JOURNALISTS

UK-made press kits for editors and journalists, staged so the angle is clear at first open, with four-week production you can plan around.

Press Kit Boxes, We Help Editors See the Story

Press desks are busy, so press kit packaging has to make the angle clear at first open. We pair the product with short, readable prompts so editors grasp it in seconds. A 3D visual helps comms sign off quickly, so the team can move on.

Press Kit Packaging FAQs

Our standard lead time is four weeks from artwork sign-off. Before that you’ll approve a plain sample (structure) and a 3D visual (artwork). If the date is tight, we’ll discuss the best options to meet it and confirm what’s achievable before we start.
Yes. We prioritise approvals, suggest finish tweaks if it helps timing, and keep you updated against a simple plan. We’ll talk through the best route to meet your deadline and set clear checkpoints.
Typical runs start at tens to low hundreds, with room to scale. We can pilot smaller to prove the format, then increase as demand grows. We’ll advise on the most efficient route for your numbers.
Yes. We design recyclable card fitments around your products, so everything holds position, with protective outers available where the route demands it. You can test the fit using the plain sample before we print.
Our default spec is FSC-certified boards with sustainable inks and coatings, which are all fully recyclable.
Often, yes. Foil used in small areas is so thin it behaves like ink in recycling, so it washes out. Single-sided laminates on sturdy boxes are usually acceptable because the film is tiny compared with the paper fibres.
Yes, if required. We offer kitting, assembly and co-packing, plus international multi-address despatch, with QC sign-off, tracking links, and despatch reports. If you prefer, we can ship to a single address for your team to pack.
Send your products and brief; a mood board helps us see what you like. We’ll discuss ideas, then produce a plain sample for structural sign-off based on your preferred route. Next we share a 3D visual for approval and move to a four-week production.

Optional Press Kit Fulfilment

Press lists often span multiple desks. If needed, FMB kits, assembles, and co-packs each press mailer box, setting a simple packing order and clear labels so your team can brief and send without friction.

Sophie Grant, PR Manager: “Press drop for editors with a sharp angle. FMB staged samples with short cards so the story was obvious at first open, and a quick 3D visual made internal sign off simple. Coverage landed the same week. Thank you for the steady guidance.”
