We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Carfin, providing 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.
Why are we different?
We pay attention, and we mean it.
Whether you’re a craft producer launching your first product or a established brand in need of specialist packaging, we treat every client the same manner.
Our team sits down with you to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what matters most to your business.
With BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation, our facilities ensure that every product in our huge range meets the highest food safety, sustainability, and compliance standards.
Why Food Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
We’ve spent decades in the packaging industry and have worked with almost every type of food business you can imagine.
We’ve helped them all: takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers.
Our team’s background at Kennedy Smith gave us thorough knowledge of what the food and drink sector needs.
We learned exactly what it takes to meet tough safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality demands of major supermarkets by working on packaging for some of Carfin’s biggest brands.
All that experience means we truly understand the specific difficulties you face.
Regulations? We know them thoroughly.
We’re well aware of the sustainability pressures.
What works on the shelf and what misses the mark – we’ve seen it all.
Things move quickly in the food business.
Keeping up with evolving demands, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers require takes the right packaging supplier.
That’s exactly where we fit in.
Fair Quality Food and Drink Packaging in Scotland
We keep our prices competitive without ever cutting corners on quality.
Every product we provide meets food safety requirements and performs precisely as it should.
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 Covering Scotland
We cover all of Carfin with our delivery service, and it extends right across Scotland.
Packaging needs to be there on time, and we understand that better than anyone.
That’s not just a claim, it’s how we do business every single day.
You can’t afford to run out of packaging right before a busy weekend or seasonal rush.
Consistent supply across Carfin and Scotland is what our delivery service and Irvine location guarantee.
Customer Service That’s Outstanding
The moment you get in touch with us, you’ll see the first-class client service we offer.
Our team works with you to find the right packaging for your product, and everything is explained in plain language.
Honest advice from people who know this sector inside out, with no confusing jargon and no hidden costs.
Carfin Specialist Packaging Solutions
Every food and drink business comes with its own packaging requirements.
What a high-street bakery wants is completely different from what a premium whisky brand needs.
The packaging requirements of a ready meal company don’t overlap with those of a craft coffee roaster.
We get that.
Instead of pushing a standard solution on every business, we use a different approach.
We’re your packaging ally, and we’ll find precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
We’ve got the machinery and manufacturing capabilities to handle both small craft runs and large-scale production of packaging products.
The service you get is the same, whatever how big or small your order is.
Food Sleeve Packaging
Food and drink businesses have made sleeve packaging hugely popular, and for good cause.
Three things make it work: it’s flexible, good-looking, and affordable.
Basically, a sleeve is a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
Sleeves are perfect for adding branding to plain boxes or containers.
Stock packaging that works well but looks a bit plain? We’ve seen it loads.
Printed sleeves transform it right away, turning a generic box into something that shouts your brand name.
Sleeves work perfectly for seasonal ranges and limited editions.
You won’t need to order thousands of brand new boxes.
All you do is print sleeves with your new design and slide them over your existing packaging.
Christmas ranges, Valentine’s gift sets, new flavour launches – sleeves make it easy and affordable every time.
Compared to a full printed box, paper sleeves use less material and they’re easy to recycle.
Your customers respect brands that care about sustainability, and sleeves are proof of your commitment to environmental responsibility at all stages of the process, from label design to last bite.
Food Sector Wallet Packaging
It might seem complex, but wallet packaging is really pretty uncomplicated.
A flat piece of card folds around your product, usually with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure to secure it.
Why do food businesses across Scotland choose wallet packaging? Because it’s practical, cost-effective, and looks fantastic.
For protecting products during transport and retail display, wallets are great.
Card material shields your food from damage, keeps everything contained, and stacks cleanly for delivery and storage.
Loads of design space comes as standard with wallet packaging.
Those flat panels offer plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to communicate to customers.
Our tailored wallet designs fit your specific product precisely.
Not almost right – precisely right.
Our team measures everything precisely and produces samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
