As an independent packaging partner based right here in Alford, we deliver tailored solutions for food businesses of all size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to established brands with Scotland-wide distribution and beyond.
What makes us different?
Simple: we actually listen.
We treat every client the same, whether you’re a craft producer currently launching your first product or a established brand searching for specialist packaging.
What matters to your business, your packaging needs, your brand – our team takes the time to understand the full picture.
Our BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation gives you peace of mind that every item in our extensive product range meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance.
Why Food and Drink Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
Our decades of experience in the packaging field mean we’ve worked with just about every type of food business out there.
We’ve helped takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers – the full spectrum.
Our team’s background at Kennedy Smith gave us thorough knowledge of what the food and drink sector requires.
We worked on packaging for some of Alford’s biggest brands and learned exactly what it takes to meet strict safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
We understand the specific difficulties you face because of that extensive experience.
Every rule that applies, we know it.
We’re well aware of the sustainability issues.
We’ve seen what works on the shelf and what doesn’t.
The food industry never slows down.
Your packaging supplier needs to keep up with changing requirements, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers demand.
That’s precisely where we step in.
Quality Food and Drink Packaging Scotland at Competitive Prices
We hold our prices competitive without once cutting corners on quality.
We deliver products that meet food safety standards and perform exactly as they should, every single time.
From keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer to making a craft chocolate bar look fantastic on the shelves, our packaging works.
Consistent Delivery Covering Scotland
Alford and Scotland are entirely covered by our delivery service.
We know that when you need packaging, you need it on time.
This isn’t just a promise; it’s actually how we do business every single day.
Before a busy weekend or seasonal rush, running out of packaging simply isn’t something you can risk.
We keep you covered consistently across Alford and Scotland, thanks to our delivery service and Irvine location.
Customer Service That’s Exceptional
You get outstanding client service from us, and it starts the moment you contact us.
Our team works with you to find the right packaging for your product, and everything is explained in plain English.
No jargon, no hidden costs, just honest, direct advice from a team that knows this industry inside out.
Alford’s Specialist Packaging Options
Every food and drink business has different packaging needs.
What a high-street bakery requires is completely different from what a premium whisky brand needs.
Ready meal companies and craft coffee roasters have completely different demands.
We get it, and we’ve long understood it.
We don’t push a standard option on every business.
Finding precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget is how we work as your partner.
Whether it’s small craft runs or large-scale production of packaging products, our machinery and manufacturing setup can handle both.
The service you get is the same, regardless of how big or small your order is.
Sleeve Packaging for the Food Sector
Food and drink businesses have made sleeve packaging extremely popular, and for good cause.
You get something that’s versatile, eye-catching, and great value all at once.
It’s essentially a printed wrapper that slides neatly over your product or its primary packaging.
Plain boxes or containers? Sleeves are the perfect way to add your branding.
Maybe your stock packaging works brilliantly for your product, but it looks a bit boring.
A printed sleeve is all it takes to turn a generic box into something that shouts your brand name straight away.
For seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are ideal.
You don’t need to order thousands of brand new boxes.
Sleeves with your unique design slide right over your existing packaging, simple as that.
A Christmas range, a Valentine’s gift set, a new flavour launch – sleeves handle them all, easily and cost-effectively.
Less material than a full printed box and straightforward to recycle – that’s what paper sleeves deliver.
Your customers value brands that think about sustainability, and sleeves are proof of your commitment to environmental responsibility at all stages of the process, from label design to last bite.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Sector
It might sound complex, but wallet packaging is really pretty simple.
Simply, it’s a flat piece of card that folds around your product, with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure to hold everything in place.
Food businesses across Scotland choose wallet packaging for three things: it’s practical, cost-effective, and looks fantastic.
During transport and retail display, wallets do a brilliant job of protecting your products.
The card shields food from damage, keeps everything together, and stacks neatly when it’s time for delivery and storage.
Wallet packaging gives you loads of design room to work with.
All those flat panels mean plenty of room for your branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to get across to customers.
Every wallet we create is custom to fit your specific product exactly.
We don’t do roughly right, we do actually right.
Everything is measured carefully, and we produce samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
