We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Castle Douglas, delivering custom 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 genuinely listen.
From craft producers launching their first product to established brands after specialist packaging, every client gets treated the same way.
Your packaging needs, your brand, and what matters most to your business are all things our team takes genuine time to understand.
Our BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation gives you peace of mind that every item in our extensive product range meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance.
Why Food Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
Our decades of experience in the packaging sector mean we’ve worked with just about every type of food business going.
Bakery chains, takeaways, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, major retailers – we’ve worked with the full range.
Our team’s background at Kennedy Smith gave us detailed knowledge of what the food and drink industry demands.
We worked on packaging for some of Castle Douglas’s biggest brands and learned exactly what it takes to meet rigorous safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
Because of that extensive experience, we understand the specific difficulties your food business faces.
We know every requirement.
We know the sustainability issues too.
We’ve seen enough of what works on the shelf and what doesn’t.
The food industry moves fast.
Keeping up with shifting requirements, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers require takes the right packaging supplier.
That’s where we come in.
Quality Food and Drink Packaging Scotland at Competitive Prices
Competitive pricing is what we deliver, and we never cut corners on quality to get there.
Every product we provide meets food safety requirements and performs exactly as it should.
It doesn’t matter if you need to keep a ready meal fresh in the freezer or make a craft chocolate bar look fantastic on the shelves.
Dependable Delivery Service Across Scotland
Our delivery service spans all of Castle Douglas and extends right across Scotland.
We know that when you need packaging, you need it on time.
That’s not just a claim, it’s how we do business every single day.
Busy weekends and seasonal rushes need packaging, and running out is never an option.
Based in Irvine, our delivery service keeps you covered without fail across Castle Douglas and Scotland.
Our Outstanding Customer Service
From the moment you reach out to us, you’ll experience exceptional client service.
Our team works with you to find the right packaging for your product, and everything is explained in plain language.
There’s no confusing technical language and no hidden costs, just honest advice from a team that knows this industry inside out.
Castle Douglas Specialist Packaging Options
Food and drink businesses all have different packaging needs.
A high-street bakery requires something completely different from a high-end whisky brand.
The packaging requirements of a ready meal producer don’t overlap with those of a craft coffee roaster.
We completely get that.
We don’t push a standard option on every client, and that’s the point.
We’re your packaging partner, and we’ll find exactly what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
Small craft runs and large-scale production are both within our machinery and manufacturing capabilities.
No matter your order size, the level of service stays the same.
Packaging Sleeves for Food Products
There’s a good cause sleeve packaging has become really popular in food and drink packaging.
You get something that’s versatile, eye-catching, and affordable all at once.
A sleeve is essentially a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
They’re perfect for adding branding to plain boxes or containers.
Maybe you’ve got stock packaging that works perfectly for your product, but it’s a bit boring.
One printed sleeve transforms that generic box instantly into something that announces your brand name.
Sleeves work perfectly for seasonal ranges and limited editions.
You won’t need to order thousands of completely new boxes.
Print sleeves with your special design and slide them right over your existing packaging.
Christmas ranges, Valentine’s gift sets, new flavour launches – sleeves keep it easy and budget-friendly every time.
You use less material with paper sleeves than a full printed box, and they’re easy to recycle afterwards.
Customers value brands that think about sustainability, and sleeves show that you’re dedicated to your environmental responsibilities at all stages of the manufacturing process, from label design to last bite.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Industry
Wallet packaging sounds more complex than it really is.
Think of it as a flat piece of card that folds closely around your product, with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Across Scotland, food businesses choose wallet packaging because it’s practical, cost-effective, and looks great.
Wallets offer great protection for your products during transport and on retail display.
The card shields food from damage, keeps everything together, and stacks cleanly when it’s time for delivery and storage.
Wallet packaging provides you loads of design room to work with.
Those flat panels offer plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to get across to customers.
Our custom wallet designs fit your specific product precisely.
There’s a difference between almost right and actually right, and we insist on the latter.
Samples are produced so you can test before committing to a full order, and our team measures everything accurately to make sure it’s right.
