We’re an independent packaging partner based in Ford, and we deliver custom solutions for businesses of every size, whether you’re a local takeaway, a bakery start-up, or an established food business distributing across Scotland and beyond.
How are we different?
Put simply, we listen.
Every client gets identical treatment from us, whether you’re a craft producer launching your first product or a established brand in need of specialist packaging.
Your packaging requirements, your brand, and what matters most to your company are all things our team takes proper time to understand.
Our facilities are accredited to BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC, giving you peace of mind that every single item in our extensive range of products meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance.
Why Food Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
Decades in the packaging sector have given us experience with nearly every type of food business you can name.
From takeaways and bakery chains to drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers, we’ve worked with them all.
Kennedy Smith is where our team built deep knowledge of what the food and drink industry demands.
Some of Ford’s biggest brands trusted us with their packaging, and we 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 challenges your food business faces.
We know every rule.
Sustainability issues are something we get.
We know what works on the shelf and what doesn’t, because we’ve seen both.
Food is a fast-moving sector.
Shifting demands, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers require all need a packaging supplier that can keep up.
That’s precisely where Custom Pack Studio comes in.
Quality Food and Drink Packaging Scotland at Competitive Prices
We keep our prices competitive without once cutting corners on quality.
The products we supply meet food safety requirements and perform exactly as they should, without exception.
Whether that’s keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look fantastic on the shelves.
Dependable Delivery Throughout Scotland
Our delivery service reaches all of Ford and extends right across Scotland.
We know that when you need packaging, you need it on time.
That’s not just a pledge, it’s how we do business every single day.
Busy weekends and seasonal rushes require packaging, and running out isn’t an option.
Based in Irvine, our delivery service keeps you supplied without fail across Ford and Scotland.
Outstanding Customer Service
You get outstanding client service from us, and it starts the moment you contact us.
Our team helps you find the right packaging for your product, and everything is explained in plain language.
We don’t use confusing jargon and we don’t hide costs, you just get honest advice from people who know this field inside out.
Ford’s Specialist Packaging Options
Packaging requirements are different for every food and drink business.
A high-street bakery wants something completely different from a high-end whisky brand.
The packaging needs of a ready meal manufacturer don’t overlap with those of a craft coffee roaster.
We know it, and we’ve long understood it.
We don’t push a standard answer on every client, and that’s the point.
As your packaging ally, we find exactly 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 setup.
We give the same level of service regardless of order size.
Sleeve Packaging for Food and Drink
Food and drink businesses have made sleeve packaging hugely popular, and for good reason.
Flexible, attention-grabbing, and great value – that’s what makes sleeve packaging work.
Think of it as a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
For adding branding to plain boxes or containers, sleeves are the perfect option.
Your stock packaging might work brilliantly for your product, but if it’s a bit dull, that’s a missed opportunity.
One printed sleeve transforms that generic box instantly into something that announces your brand name.
Sleeves are brilliant for seasonal ranges or limited editions.
No need to order thousands of completely new boxes.
All you do is print sleeves with your unique design and slide them over your existing packaging.
From Christmas ranges to Valentine’s gift sets and new flavour launches, sleeves make the whole process simple and affordable.
Compared to a full printed box, paper sleeves use less material and they’re straightforward to recycle.
Brands that think about sustainability win customer appreciation, and sleeves show your commitment to environmental responsibility at all stages, from label design to last bite.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Sector
It might sound complicated, but wallet packaging is actually pretty straightforward.
A flat piece of card, tuck-in flaps or a simple closure, and it folds closely around your product.
Across Scotland, food businesses choose wallet packaging because it’s practical, affordable, and looks impressive.
For protecting products during transport and retail display, wallets are excellent.
Your food is shielded from damage, kept together, and the wallets stack cleanly for delivery and storage.
You get loads of design room with wallet packaging.
All those flat panels mean plenty of room for your branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to convey to customers.
Every wallet we produce is made-to-order to fit your specific product precisely.
Not roughly right, but properly right.
Everything is measured carefully, and we produce samples so you can test before committing to a full order.

Whether you’re uncertain about the appearance of your packaging or you want everything to be right, our design contacts will guide you through the entire process.
Food packaging is something they understand inside out, and they know what catches customers’ eyes on the shelves.
Your Design, Your Way

Our easy ordering process helps you bring your ideas to life fast.
Supply your artwork and our team handles the technical side, making sure it works perfectly with your chosen packaging format.
We’ll handle the technical side while you stay in control of the creative decisions.
Start With Templates
Not sure where to begin?
Start with one of our professionally designed templates and let it spark your ideas.
These aren’t generic designs that look like everyone else’s packaging.
These are proper starting points from people who genuinely understand the food and drink industry and know what a quality product looks and feels like.
Professional packaging without starting from scratch is as straightforward as picking a template and adapting it with your brand colours and details.
