So what makes us different?

Custom Pack Studio – Why Food Businesses Work With Us
With decades of experience in the packaging industry, we’ve worked with just about 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.
Kennedy Smith is where our team built detailed knowledge of what the food and drink sector needs.
We worked on packaging for some of Calton’s biggest brands and learned precisely what it takes to meet rigorous safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
We understand the specific pressures you face because of that wide-ranging experience.
We know the regulations.
We’re well aware of the sustainability concerns.
We’ve seen what works on the shop floor and what misses the mark.
The food sector never stops moving.
Changing demands, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers expect all need a packaging supplier that can keep up.
This is where we come in.
Quality Food and Drink Packaging Scotland at Competitive Prices
Competitive prices are a given here, and we never cut corners on quality.
We deliver products that meet food safety requirements and perform precisely as they should, every single time.
Whether it’s keeping ready meals fresh in the freezer or making craft chocolate bars look outstanding on the shelf, our packaging delivers.
Delivery Across Scotland – On Time Every Time
We reach all of Calton with our delivery service, and it extends right across Scotland.
Timing matters, and we know that when you need packaging, you need it when promised.
Every single day, that’s how we do business, it’s not just a pledge.
A busy weekend or seasonal rush is no time to run out of packaging.
We keep you supplied reliably across Calton and Scotland, thanks to our delivery service and Irvine location.
Our Outstanding Customer Service
You get exceptional client service from us, and it starts the moment you contact us.
We’ll work with you to find the right packaging for your product, explaining everything in plain language as we go.
Honest advice from people who know this industry inside out, with no confusing technical language and no hidden costs.
Specialist Food Packaging Across Calton
Every food and drink business has different packaging needs.
The packaging a high-street bakery needs is completely different from what a premium whisky brand is after.
The packaging requirements of a ready meal company don’t overlap with those of a craft coffee roaster.
We get that better than most.
A standard option pushed on everyone? That’s not how we work.
We work as your ally to find exactly 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 capabilities.
Whether your order is big or small, the service level stays the same.
Sleeve Packaging for the Food Industry
It’s no surprise that sleeve packaging has become extremely popular in food and drink packaging.
Sleeve packaging is versatile, good-looking, and great value.
It’s essentially a printed wrapper that slides right 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 feels a bit boring.
A printed sleeve is all it takes to turn a generic box into something that shouts your brand name instantly.
Sleeves work brilliantly for seasonal ranges and limited editions.
There’s no need to order thousands of brand new boxes.
Print sleeves with your unique design and slide them right over your existing packaging.
Christmas range, Valentine’s gift set, new flavour launch – sleeves make it easy and affordable.
Less material than a full printed box and simple to recycle – that’s what paper sleeves deliver.
From label design to last bite, sleeves show your commitment to environmental responsibility at every stage, and customers appreciate brands that think about sustainability.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Industry
Wallet packaging sounds more complicated than it really is.
It’s a flat card that folds around your product, usually secured with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Wallet packaging is functional, cost-effective, and looks great, which is why food businesses across Scotland choose it.
Wallets are excellent for protecting products during transport and retail display.
The card material shields food from damage, keeps everything together, and stacks neatly for delivery and storage.
You get loads of design area with wallet packaging.
Branding, product information, ingredient lists, and more – all those flat panels provide you plenty of room to convey everything to your customers.
Tailored wallet designs that fit your specific product perfectly are what we create.
There’s a difference between nearly right and precisely right, and we always deliver the latter.
Our team measures everything accurately and produces samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
How We Work – Quality Packaging Done Right
Beginners find our process accessible, and experts find it powerful enough for their needs.
Our options fit how you prefer to work, whether this is your first product or you’ve been leading brands for years.
Expert Design Consultation
Could use extra support?
Our connections with professional graphic designers mean you can get expert support with years of experience behind it.
Whether you’re uncertain about the design of your packaging or you want everything to be perfect, our design contacts will guide you through the whole process.
They know food packaging inside out and know what grabs customers’ eyes on the shelf.
Bring Your Own Design
If you know precisely what you need or already have a design from another source, we can work with that.
Our ordering process is easy and turns your ideas into reality quickly.
Send us your own artwork and we’ll ensure it works perfectly with the packaging format you’ve chosen.
The technical side is ours, while you keep full control of the creative decisions.
Template-Based Design
No idea where to begin?
Start with one of our professionally designed templates and let it guide your ideas.
Forget generic designs that look like every other packaging – ours are different.
Our templates are proper starting points, created by people who understand the food and drink sector and know what a quality product looks and feels like.
You pick a template, customise it with your brand colours and details, and that’s professional packaging sorted without starting from scratch.
