We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Banchory, providing custom solutions for businesses of every size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to established food businesses with distribution across the UK and beyond.
How are we unlike other suppliers?
Put simply, we listen.
Craft producer launching your first product? Premium brand after specialist packaging? We treat every single client the same manner.
Our team works closely with you to understand your packaging needs, your brand, and what matters most to your company.
BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation means every single item in our huge range of products meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance.
Custom Pack Studio – Why Food Businesses Work With Us
Decades in the packaging sector have given us experience with nearly every type of food business you can think of.
Takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, major retailers – whatever it is, we’ve done it.
Kennedy Smith is where our team built thorough knowledge of what the food and drink industry requires.
We learned exactly what it takes to meet strict safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets by working on packaging for some of Banchory’s biggest brands.
We understand the specific difficulties you face because of that wide-ranging experience.
The regulations aren’t a mystery to us.
We understand sustainability concerns.
We’ve seen what works on the shelves and what doesn’t.
Food is a fast-moving industry.
Changing demands, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers demand all need a packaging supplier that can keep up.
That’s where we come in.
Food and Drink Packaging Scotland – Quality at Competitive Prices
You get competitive prices from us, and we never cut corners on quality.
Every single product we deliver meets food safety regulations and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look outstanding on the shelf – our packaging does both.
Reliable Delivery Service Across Scotland
All of Banchory and the rest of the Scotland are covered by our delivery service.
Packaging needs to turn up on time, and we get that better than anyone.
It’s not just a promise from us, it’s how we actually do business every single day.
You can’t afford to run out of packaging right before a busy weekend or seasonal rush.
With our Irvine location and strong delivery service, we keep you covered without fail across Banchory and Scotland.
Our Outstanding Customer Service
From the moment you contact us, you’ll experience first-class client service.
Finding the right packaging for your product is what our team does, and we explain everything in plain English along the way.
There’s no confusing technical language and no hidden costs, just honest advice from a team that knows this sector inside out.
Specialist Food Packaging Across Banchory
Different food and drink businesses have different packaging requirements.
A high-street bakery requires something completely different from a premium whisky brand.
What a ready meal producer requires is nothing like what a craft coffee roaster is after.
We fully understand that.
We refuse to push a standard solution on everyone.
Finding precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget is how we work as your ally.
Our machinery and manufacturing capabilities mean we can handle both small craft runs and large-scale production of packaging products.
We give the same level of service regardless of order volume.
Packaging Sleeves for Food Products
It’s no surprise that sleeve packaging has become really popular in food and drink packaging.
Sleeves are adaptable, good-looking, and cost-effective.
A sleeve slides over your product or its primary packaging as a printed wrapper, it’s as straightforward as that.
If you’ve got plain boxes or containers, sleeves are perfect for adding your branding.
Your stock packaging might work well for your product, but if it’s a bit boring, that’s a problem.
That generic box turns into something that screams your brand name the moment a printed sleeve goes on.
If you’re running seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are a brilliant option.
There’s no need to order thousands of brand new boxes.
All you do is print sleeves with your special design and slide them over your existing packaging.
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 easy to recycle – that’s what paper sleeves offer.
Customers appreciate brands that think about sustainability, and sleeves show that you’re committed to your environmental responsibilities at all stages of the manufacturing process, from label design to last mouthful.
Wallet Packaging for Food Businesses
Wallet packaging might seem complex, but it’s actually pretty simple.
It’s a flat card that folds around your product, typically closed with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Why do food businesses across Scotland choose wallet packaging? Because it’s practical, affordable, and looks fantastic.
For protecting products during transport and retail display, wallets are great.
Card material shields your food from damage, keeps everything together, and stacks neatly for delivery and storage.
Wallets give you loads of design space.
Plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to communicate – that’s what all those flat panels provide.
We create custom wallet designs that fit your specific product perfectly.
Not nearly right, but actually right.
Our team takes accurate measurements and produces samples, so you can test everything before committing to a full order.

Template-Based Design
Unsure on where to start?
