We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Balmedie, offering made-to-order solutions for businesses of every size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to established food businesses with distribution across the UK and beyond.
What makes us unique?
We actually pay attention.
We treat every client the same, whether you’re a craft producer just launching your first product or a established brand looking for specialist packaging.
What matters to your company, your packaging needs, your brand – our team takes the time to understand every detail.
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.
Food and Drink Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
Decades in the packaging industry have given us experience with nearly every type of food business you can imagine.
Bakery chains, takeaways, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, major retailers – we’ve done the lot.
The experience our team gained at Kennedy Smith gave us thorough knowledge of what food and drink businesses actually demand.
Working on packaging for some of Balmedie’s biggest brands taught us exactly what it takes to meet rigorous safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
That wide-ranging experience means we understand the specific pressures you face.
Every regulation that applies, we know it.
The sustainability pressures your business faces, we understand them all.
On the shelves, we know what works and what doesn’t.
The food industry never stops moving.
A packaging supplier that keeps up with shifting demands, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers demand is what you need.
And that’s where we come in.
Quality Food Packaging Scotland at Prices That Work
Competitive prices are standard here, and we never cut corners on quality.
Food safety regulations? Met. Performance? Exactly as it should be, on every product we supply.
From keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer to making a craft chocolate bar look fantastic on the shelves, our packaging performs.
Delivery Across Scotland – On Time Every Time
Balmedie and Scotland are completely covered by our delivery service.
Packaging needs to turn up on time, and we know that better than anyone.
We don’t just say it, that’s how we run business every single day.
Before a busy weekend or seasonal rush, running out of packaging simply isn’t an option.
We keep you stocked without fail across Balmedie and Scotland, thanks to our delivery service and Irvine base.
Customer Service That Counts
We offer exceptional client service from the moment you contact us.
We’ll work with you to find the right packaging for your product, explaining everything in plain terms as we go.
There’s no confusing jargon and no hidden costs, just honest advice from a team that knows this sector inside out.
Packaging Options for Balmedie’s Food Businesses
Every food and drink business comes with its own packaging requirements.
High-street bakeries and top-shelf whisky brands have entirely different packaging priorities.
The needs of a ready meal company don’t match those of a craft coffee roaster.
All of that? We get it.
We don’t push a standard solution on everyone, and that’s the point.
Instead, we work as your ally to find precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
We’ve got the machinery and manufacturing setup to handle both small craft runs and large-scale production of packaging products.
The service you get is the same, no matter how big or small your order is.
Sleeve Packaging for the Food Industry
There’s a good reason sleeve packaging has become extremely popular in food and drink packaging.
Sleeves are flexible, eye-catching, and cost-effective.
It’s essentially a printed wrapper that slides right over your product or its primary packaging.
They’re perfect for adding branding to plain boxes or containers.
Your stock packaging might work well for your product, but if it’s a bit dull, that’s a problem.
Printed sleeves convert it right away, turning a generic box into something that shouts your brand name.
If you’re running seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are a brilliant option.
You won’t need to order thousands of brand new boxes.
Get sleeves printed with your new design and slide them right over your existing packaging.
Christmas ranges, Valentine’s gift sets, new flavour launches – sleeves make it easy and affordable every time.
Paper sleeves use less material than a full printed box, and they’re straightforward to recycle.
Customers appreciate when brands think about sustainability, and sleeves show your commitment to environmental responsibility across the entire manufacturing process, from label design to last bite.
Food Wallet Packaging Options
Don’t let the name fool you – wallet packaging is really pretty straightforward.
A flat piece of card, tuck-in flaps or a simple closure, and it folds closely around your product.
Across Scotland, food businesses choose wallet packaging because it’s practical, great value, and looks great.
Wallets are great for protecting products during transport and retail display.
Your food is shielded from damage, kept in place, and the wallets stack tidily for delivery and storage.
Wallets provide loads of design area.
Branding, product information, ingredient lists, and more – all those flat panels give you plenty of room to communicate everything to your customers.
Every wallet we design is custom to fit your specific product exactly.
Not almost right, but actually right.
We measure everything carefully and produce samples so you can test before committing to a full production.

Creative decisions stay with you, and the technical side is our responsibility.
Start With Templates
Don’t have a clue where to begin?
We’ve got a range of professionally designed templates on offer to help you.
You won’t find generic designs that look like every other packaging here.
People who understand the food and drink industry and know what quality looks and feels like created these templates as proper starting points.
It’s straightforward: pick a template, personalise it with your brand colours and details, and you’ve got professional packaging without starting from scratch.
