As an independent packaging partner based right here in Charlestown, we deliver custom solutions for food businesses of all size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to established brands with Scotland-wide distribution and beyond.
Why are we different?
We actually listen.
From craft producers launching their first product to premium brands in need of specialist packaging, every client gets treated the same manner.
Our team takes real time to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what matters most to your company.
Every item in our huge product range meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance, backed by our BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation.
Custom Pack Studio – Why Food Businesses Choose Us
Just about every type of food business you can imagine has worked with us, backed by our decades in the packaging field.
Bakery chains, takeaways, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, major retailers – we’ve worked with the whole spectrum.
Our team’s time at Kennedy Smith gave us deep knowledge of what the food and drink sector demands.
Through packaging work for some of Charlestown’s biggest brands, we learned exactly what’s required to meet rigorous safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
The specific difficulties you face aren’t new to us, and that broad experience is why.
Every rule that applies, we know it.
We’re well aware of the sustainability concerns.
We’ve seen what works on the shop floor and what doesn’t.
Speed is the nature of the food business.
Keeping up with changing demands, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers expect takes the right packaging supplier.
This is where we come in.
Food and Drink Packaging Scotland – Competitive Quality, Great Prices
We deliver competitive prices without cutting corners on quality.
Every single product we deliver meets food safety requirements and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
From keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer to making a craft chocolate bar look outstanding on the shelf, our packaging works.
Dependable Delivery
Charlestown and Scotland are fully covered by our delivery service.
When you need packaging, you need it on time, and we know that.
We don’t just promise it, that’s how we operate business every single day.
Busy weekends and seasonal rushes require packaging, and running out isn’t an option.
Dependable supply across Charlestown and Scotland is what our delivery service and Irvine base guarantee.
Exceptional Client Service
The moment you reach out to us, you’ll see the outstanding client service we offer.
We’ll work with you to find the right packaging for your product, explaining everything in plain language as we go.
No industry speak, no hidden costs, just honest, straight-talking advice from a team that knows this sector inside out.
Specialist Packaging Options Across Charlestown
Different food and drink businesses have different packaging needs.
What a high-street bakery wants is completely different from what a premium whisky brand requires.
A craft coffee roaster’s requirements and a ready meal manufacturer’s couldn’t be more different.
That’s something we fully understand.
We don’t push a standard option on every business.
As your packaging partner, we 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 capabilities.
Order volume doesn’t change the level of service you’ll get.
Packaging Sleeves for Food Products
There’s a good reason sleeve packaging has become really popular in food and drink packaging.
Sleeves are adaptable, good-looking, and affordable.
In plain terms, a sleeve is 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.
Perhaps your stock packaging works well for your product, but it seems a bit plain.
That generic box becomes something that announces your brand name the moment a printed sleeve goes on.
If you’re running seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are a ideal choice.
Forget ordering thousands of brand new boxes.
Sleeves with your special design slide right over your existing packaging, simple as that.
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 simple to recycle too.
Customers respect 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 Food Businesses
Despite the name, wallet packaging is really pretty simple.
It’s a flat piece of card that folds around your product, often with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Across Scotland, food businesses choose wallet packaging because it’s practical, cost-effective, and looks impressive.
For protecting products during transport and retail display, wallets are excellent.
Everything stays together and protected from damage, and the card material stacks tidily for both delivery and storage.
Wallets give you loads of design space.
All those flat panels mean plenty of room for your branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to convey to customers.
Your product gets a tailored wallet design that fits perfectly.
Not roughly right – precisely right.
We measure everything accurately and produce samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
How We Work – Quality Packaging Done Properly
Our process works for all levels: easy for beginners, capable enough for experienced users.
We’ve got options that fit how you prefer to work, whether you’re launching your first product or you’re an experienced brand owner.
Design Consultation Service
After extra design support?
Our connections with professional graphic designers mean you can get expert help with years of experience behind them.
Our design contacts can guide you through the entire process, whether you’re not sure what your packaging should look like or you just want to ensure everything is perfect.
They understand food packaging inside out and know what catches customers’ eyes on the shelf.
Design It Yourself
Know what you’re wanting, or have a design ready from a different designer?
Use our easy ordering process to quickly bring your ideas to life.
You can supply your own artwork, and our team will check it works properly with the packaging format you’ve chosen.
You keep control of the creative decisions while we manage all the technical side.
Start With a Template
Don’t know where to start?
We’ve got a range of professionally designed templates on offer to help you.
Generic designs that look like all the other packaging? That’s not what you’ll find here.
People who understand the food and drink industry and know what quality looks and feels like created these templates as proper starting points.
Choose a template, personalise it with your brand colours and details, and you’ve got professional packaging without starting from scratch.
