We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Blackburn, offering tailored solutions for businesses of every size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to well-known food businesses with distribution across the UK and beyond.
So what makes us different?
We actually pay attention.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a craft producer with your first product or a established brand after specialist packaging, we treat every client the same way.
We take proper time to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what truly matters to your business.
Our facilities are accredited to BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC, giving you peace of mind that every single item in our extensive range of products meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance.
Why Pick Custom Pack Studio for Food Packaging
With decades of experience in the packaging field, we’ve worked with just about every type of food business you can imagine.
From takeaways and bakery chains to drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers, we’ve worked with them all.
The experience our team gained at Kennedy Smith gave us deep knowledge of what food and drink businesses really require.
Through packaging work for some of Blackburn’s biggest brands, we learned precisely what’s required to meet tough safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
The specific challenges you face aren’t new to us, and that broad experience is why.
The requirements aren’t a mystery to us.
The sustainability issues your business faces, we understand every one.
We’ve seen enough of what works on the shelf and what doesn’t.
Speed is the nature of the food business.
Your packaging supplier needs to keep up with shifting requirements, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers expect.
And that’s where we come in.
Food and Drink Packaging Scotland – Quality at Competitive Prices
Competitive pricing is what we provide, and we never cut corners on quality to get there.
The products we provide meet food safety regulations and perform precisely as they should, without exception.
Whether it’s keeping ready meals fresh in the freezer or making craft chocolate bars look fantastic on the shelf, our packaging delivers.
Dependable Delivery Service Across Scotland
Our delivery service covers all of Blackburn and extends right across Scotland.
We know that packaging has to be there on time, every time.
This isn’t just a promise; it’s genuinely how we do business every single day.
Running out of packaging before a busy weekend or seasonal rush isn’t acceptable.
Our delivery service and Irvine location mean we can keep you stocked without fail across Blackburn and Scotland.
Customer Service That Matters
You get exceptional client service from us, and it starts the moment you make your first enquiry.
Finding the right packaging for your product is what our team does, and we explain everything in plain language along the way.
You won’t find confusing industry speak or hidden costs here, just honest advice from people who know this field inside out.
Custom Packaging Solutions Across Blackburn
Different food and drink businesses have different packaging needs.
High-street bakeries and premium whisky brands have entirely different packaging priorities.
The needs of a ready meal manufacturer don’t match those of a craft coffee roaster.
That’s something we fully get.
Every business is different, which is why we don’t push a standard solution on anyone.
We’re your packaging ally, and we’ll find precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
Small craft runs and large-scale production are both well within our machinery and manufacturing setup.
Order size doesn’t change the level of service you’ll get.
Sleeve Packaging for the Food Sector
Sleeve packaging is extremely popular in the food and drink world right now, and for good reason.
Sleeve packaging is adaptable, good-looking, and great value.
Simply put, a sleeve is a printed wrapper that slides 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 well for your product, but it seems a bit plain.
Printed sleeves transform it right away, turning a generic box into something that shouts your brand name.
Seasonal ranges and limited editions are where sleeves truly come into their own.
No need to order thousands of brand new boxes.
Get sleeves printed with your special design and slide them straight over your existing packaging.
Whether it’s a Christmas range, a Valentine’s gift set, or a new flavour launch, sleeves make it straightforward and cost-effective.
You use less material with paper sleeves than a full printed box, and they’re straightforward to recycle afterwards.
Customers value brands that think about sustainability, and sleeves show that you’re serious about your environmental responsibilities at all stages of the manufacturing process, from label design to last mouthful.
Food Wallet Packaging Solutions
Wallet packaging sounds fancier than it really is.
It’s a flat piece of card that folds around your product, typically with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Food businesses across Scotland choose wallet packaging because it’s practical, great value, and looks impressive.
Product protection during transport and retail display is where wallets really perform.
Food stays protected from damage, everything stays in place, and the card stacks neatly for delivery and storage.
You get loads of design space with wallet packaging.
Plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to convey – that’s what all those flat panels provide.
Our made-to-order wallet designs fit your specific product precisely.
Not close enough – properly right, every time.
Everything is measured carefully, and we produce samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
Our Approach – Quality Packaging Done Properly
Our process is designed for all levels: easy for beginners, capable enough for experts.
Whatever your experience level, from first product launch to experienced brand leadership, we’ve got options that fit how you like to work.

Not sure where to start?
