Right here in Dalton, we’re an independent packaging partner that provides made-to-order solutions for food businesses at every stage, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to well-known food businesses distributing across Scotland and beyond.
Why are we a cut above?
We actually pay attention.
Craft producer launching your first product? Established brand after specialist packaging? We treat every single client the same way.
Understanding your packaging requirements, your brand, and what matters most to your company is something our team takes proper time to get right.
We’re accredited to BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC, so you can be certain that every item in our wide product range meets the highest food safety, sustainability, and compliance standards.
Custom Pack Studio – Why Food Businesses Work With Us
Almost every type of food business you can name has worked with us, backed by our decades in the packaging field.
We’ve worked with them all: takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers.
Kennedy Smith is where our team built detailed knowledge of what the food and drink industry demands.
We worked on packaging for some of Dalton’s biggest brands and learned exactly what it takes to meet tough safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
All that experience means we truly understand the specific challenges you face.
Every regulation that applies, we know it.
We’re well aware of the sustainability pressures.
We’ve seen what works on the shelf and what falls flat.
Things move fast in the food business.
You need a packaging supplier who can keep up with shifting requirements, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers demand.
That’s exactly where Custom Pack Studio comes in.
Competitive Quality Food and Drink Packaging in Scotland
Competitive prices are standard here, and we never cut corners on quality.
Food safety requirements? Met. Performance? Precisely as it should be, on every product we provide.
Keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look outstanding on the shelves – our packaging manages both.
Reliable Delivery Across Scotland
All of Dalton and the wider Scotland are covered by our delivery service.
We know that when you need packaging, you need it on time.
Every single day, that’s how we do business, it’s not just a pledge.
You can’t afford to run out of packaging right before a busy weekend or seasonal rush.
With our Irvine hub and solid delivery service, we keep you covered without fail across Dalton and Scotland.
Exceptional Service for Every Customer
From the moment you reach out to us, you’ll receive exceptional client service.
Our team works with you to find the right packaging for your product, and everything is explained in plain English.
No confusing technical language, no hidden costs – just honest advice from people who know this sector inside out.
Dalton Specialist Packaging Solutions
Packaging needs are different for every food and drink business.
A high-end whisky brand and a high-street bakery have completely different packaging requirements.
A craft coffee roaster’s needs and a ready meal company’s couldn’t be more different.
We understand that.
That’s why we don’t push a standard option on everyone.
We work as your partner to find exactly what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
Whether it’s small craft runs or large-scale production of packaging products, our machinery and manufacturing capacity can handle it all.
The level of service stays the same whatever order size.
Sleeve Packaging for the Food Sector
Food and drink businesses have made sleeve packaging hugely popular, and for good cause.
Three things make it work: it’s versatile, good-looking, and cost-effective.
In plain terms, a sleeve is a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
For adding branding to plain boxes or containers, sleeves are the perfect choice.
Perhaps your stock packaging works perfectly for your product, but it looks a bit plain.
Printed sleeves transform it right away, turning a generic box into something that screams your brand name.
If you’re running seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are a great choice.
You don’t need to order thousands of completely new boxes.
Sleeves with your unique design slide straight 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 simple and cost-effective.
You use less material with paper sleeves than a full printed box, and they’re easy to recycle as well.
Sleeves show that you’re committed to environmental responsibility at every stage of the manufacturing process, from label design to last mouthful, and customers value brands that think about sustainability.
Packaging Wallets for the Food Industry
Wallet packaging sounds fancier than it really is.
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, affordable, and looks impressive.
Wallets are brilliant for protecting products during transport and retail display.
Food stays protected from damage, everything stays in place, and the card stacks cleanly for delivery and storage.
Loads of design space comes as standard with wallet packaging.
Plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to convey – that’s what all those flat panels give.
We create made-to-order wallet designs that fit your specific product perfectly.
Not close enough – actually right, every time.
Our team measures everything carefully and produces samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
