We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Elderslie, delivering tailored solutions for businesses of every size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to established food businesses with distribution across the UK and beyond.
What makes us unique?
The answer is simple: we pay attention.
Every client gets equal treatment from us, whether you’re a craft producer launching your first product or a well-known brand after specialist packaging.
We take real time to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what really matters to your company.
BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation means every single item in our extensive range of products meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance.
Why Food and Drink Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
With decades of experience in the packaging field, we’ve worked with just about every type of food business you can imagine.
Takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, major retailers – we’ve worked with them all.
What the food and drink sector demands is something our team learned at Kennedy Smith, gaining deep knowledge along the way.
We learned exactly what it takes to meet tough safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets by working on packaging for some of Elderslie’s biggest brands.
The specific challenges you face aren’t new to us, and that broad experience is why.
The rules aren’t a mystery to us.
Sustainability issues are something we get.
We’ve seen what works on the shelf and what misses the mark.
Speed is the nature of the food business.
Keeping up with shifting demands, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers require takes the right packaging supplier.
We’re exactly the kind of supplier you need, and that’s where we come in.
Food and Drink Packaging Scotland – Quality at Competitive Prices
You get competitive prices from us, and we never cut corners on quality.
We deliver products that meet food safety standards and perform exactly as they should, every single time.
From keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer to making a craft chocolate bar look fantastic on the shelves, our packaging performs.
Consistent Delivery Service
We supply across the whole of Elderslie and right across Scotland.
Packaging needs to turn up on time, and we know that better than anyone.
It’s not just a pledge from us, it’s how we genuinely do business every single day.
You can’t afford to run out of packaging right before a busy weekend or seasonal rush.
With our Irvine base and solid delivery service, we keep you supplied consistently across Elderslie and Scotland.
First-Class Service for Every Customer
You get exceptional client service from us, and it starts the moment you make your first enquiry.
Our team works with you to find the right packaging for your product, and we explain everything in plain English.
There’s no confusing technical language and no hidden costs, just honest advice from a team that knows this sector inside out.
Packaging Options for Elderslie’s Food Businesses
Food and drink businesses all have different packaging requirements.
A high-end whisky brand and a high-street bakery have completely different packaging needs.
The packaging requirements of a ready meal manufacturer don’t overlap with those of a craft coffee roaster.
That’s something we totally appreciate.
A standard solution pushed on everyone? That’s not how we work.
As your packaging ally, we find precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
Our manufacturing capabilities and machinery mean small craft runs and large-scale production are both fully within reach.
No matter your order size, the level of service stays the same.
Sleeve Packaging for Food Products
There’s a good cause sleeve packaging has become really popular in food and drink packaging.
Sleeve packaging is versatile, good-looking, and great value.
It’s essentially a printed wrapper that slides neatly over your product or its primary packaging.
If you’ve got plain boxes or containers, sleeves are perfect for adding your branding.
Your stock packaging might work perfectly for your product, but if it’s a bit dull, that’s a problem.
Slide a printed sleeve on and that generic box is suddenly transformed into something that announces your brand name.
Got a seasonal range or limited edition planned? Sleeves are brilliant.
You won’t need to order thousands of entirely new boxes.
Just print sleeves with your unique design and slide them over your existing packaging.
Sleeves make everything from Christmas ranges and Valentine’s gift sets to new flavour launches straightforward and cost-effective.
Less material than a full printed box and simple to recycle – that’s what paper sleeves offer.
Your customers value 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 mouthful.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Sector
It might sound complex, but wallet packaging is actually pretty simple.
A flat piece of card, tuck-in flaps or a simple closure, and it folds snugly around your product.
Food businesses across Scotland love wallet packaging for three reasons: it’s practical, great value, and looks fantastic.
Product protection during transport and retail display is where wallets really perform.
Card material shields your food from damage, keeps everything together, and stacks cleanly for delivery and storage.
One of the greatest things about wallets is the design room they offer.
Plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and whatever else you need to convey – that’s what all those flat panels give.
Our tailored wallet designs fit your specific product exactly.
Not nearly right, but actually right.
Before you commit to a full order, our team measures everything precisely and produces samples for you to test.
