We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Bolton, offering made-to-order 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.
What truly sets us apart?
We actually listen.
Every client gets the same treatment from us, whether you’re a craft producer launching your first product or a premium brand looking for specialist packaging.
Understanding your packaging requirements, your brand, and what matters most to your business is something our team takes real time to get right.
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.
Why 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 supplied the full range.
Our team’s time at Kennedy Smith gave us thorough knowledge of what the food and drink sector demands.
We worked on packaging for some of Bolton’s biggest brands and learned exactly what it takes to meet rigorous safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
We understand the specific challenges you face because of that extensive experience.
Rules? We know them back to front.
We get the sustainability concerns too.
Years of experience have shown us what works on the shelf and what falls flat.
The food industry never stands still.
A packaging supplier that keeps up with changing requirements, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers demand is what you need.
We’re exactly the kind of supplier you need, and that’s where we come in.
Affordable Quality Food and Drink Packaging in Scotland
We offer competitive prices without cutting corners on quality.
Every single product we provide meets food safety standards and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look fantastic on the shelves – our packaging does both.
Consistent Delivery Service Across Scotland
We deliver across the whole of Bolton and right across Scotland.
Timing matters, and we know that when you need packaging, you need it without delays.
This isn’t just a pledge; it’s genuinely how we do business every single day.
You can’t afford to run out of packaging right before a busy weekend or seasonal rush.
We keep you supplied consistently across Bolton and Scotland, thanks to our delivery service and Irvine base.
Exceptional Service for Every Customer
From the moment you get in touch with us, you’ll get exceptional client service.
The right packaging for your product is what we’ll find together, and we explain everything in plain language.
You won’t find confusing jargon or hidden costs here, just honest advice from people who know this sector inside out.
Custom Packaging Options Across Bolton
Every food and drink business has different packaging needs.
What a high-street bakery wants is completely different from what a top-shelf whisky brand requires.
A craft coffee roaster’s requirements and a ready meal company’s couldn’t be more different.
We know that better than anyone.
We choose not to push a standard option on everyone.
As your packaging partner, we find precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
Our manufacturing capabilities and machinery mean small craft runs and large-scale production are both fully within reach.
Regardless of your order size, the level of service stays the same.
Sleeve Packaging for Food and Drink
In the food and drink packaging industry, sleeve packaging has become extremely popular, and it’s easy to see why.
It’s flexible, attention-grabbing, and cost-effective.
A sleeve is basically a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
Adding branding to plain boxes or containers is exactly what sleeves are perfect for.
Maybe you’ve got stock packaging that works brilliantly for your product, but it’s a bit plain.
One printed sleeve transforms that generic box instantly into something that screams your brand name.
For seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are brilliant.
Thousands of new boxes? You don’t need them.
Print sleeves with your new design and slide them right over your existing packaging.
Sleeves make everything from Christmas ranges and Valentine’s gift sets to new flavour launches easy and cost-effective.
Compared to a full printed box, paper sleeves use less material and they’re straightforward to recycle.
Sleeves show that you’re serious about environmental responsibility at every stage of the manufacturing process, from label design to last mouthful, and customers respect brands that think about sustainability.
Wallet Packaging for Food Businesses
It might sound fancy, but wallet packaging is really pretty uncomplicated.
A flat piece of card, tuck-in flaps or a simple closure, and it folds closely around your product.
It’s practical, cost-effective, and looks impressive – three things why food businesses across Scotland pick wallet packaging.
Transport and retail display protection is something wallets do really well.
The card material shields food from damage, keeps everything in place, and stacks tidily for delivery and storage.
Wallet packaging gives you loads of design area to work with.
You’ve got plenty of room across those flat panels for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and whatever else you need to tell your customers.
We create tailored wallet designs that fit your specific product exactly.
Not almost there – precisely right, every time.
Before you commit to a full order, our team measures everything precisely and produces samples for you to test.
Working Together – Quality Packaging Done Right
For beginners it’s accessible, for experts it’s powerful – our process is designed for all levels.
Launching your first product or managing an established brand? We’ve got options that fit how you like to work.
Professional Design Support
Need additional help?
Professional graphic designers with years of experience are on hand through our connections, giving you expert support.
If you’re not sure what your packaging should look like, or you want to make sure everything is right, our design contacts can guide you through the full process.
They know food packaging inside out and know what attracts customers’ eyes on the shelf.
Design Your Packaging Yourself
Already know precisely what you want, or have an existing design from a different designer?
Quickly bring your ideas to life through our simple ordering process.
Send us your own artwork and we’ll ensure it works perfectly with the packaging format you’ve picked.
You stay in control of the creative decisions and we’ll handle the technical side.
Start With a Template
Don’t have a clue where to begin?
Start with one of our professionally designed templates and let it guide your ideas.
These aren’t generic designs that look like all the other packaging.
They’re real starting points, built by people who understand the food and drink sector and know exactly what quality looks and feels like.
Choose a template, customise it with your brand colours and details, and you’ve got professional packaging without starting from scratch.
