What makes us different?

We take proper time to understand your packaging needs, your brand, and what really matters to your company.

Why Select Custom Pack Studio for Food Packaging
We’ve been in the packaging sector for decades, working with almost every type of food business imaginable.
Takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, major retailers – we’ve covered them all.
What the food and drink sector requires is something our team learned at Kennedy Smith, gaining thorough knowledge along the way.
Through packaging work for some of Gilmerton’s biggest brands, we learned precisely what’s demanded to meet strict safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
All that experience means we genuinely understand the specific challenges you face.
We know the requirements.
We understand sustainability pressures.
What works on the shelf and what doesn’t – we’ve seen it all.
The food business never slows down.
A packaging supplier that keeps up with evolving demands, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers expect is what you need.
And that’s where we come in.

Custom Packaging Options Across Gilmerton
Different food and drink businesses have different packaging needs.
High-street bakeries and high-end whisky brands have completely different packaging needs.
What a ready meal company needs is nothing like what a craft coffee roaster is looking for.
We know that.
Every client is different, which is why we don’t push a standard solution on any of them.
We’re your packaging partner, and we’ll find precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
Our machinery and manufacturing capabilities mean we can handle both small craft runs and large-scale production of packaging products.
Order size doesn’t change the level of service you’ll experience.
Food Sleeve Packaging
Sleeve packaging has become extremely popular in the food and drink packaging industry, and for good cause.
Versatile, good-looking, and affordable – that’s what makes sleeve packaging work.
Simply put, a sleeve is a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
Sleeves are perfect for adding branding to plain boxes or containers.
Got stock packaging that does the trick but looks a bit plain?
Slide a printed sleeve on and that generic box is instantly transformed into something that screams your brand name.
If you’re running seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are a brilliant option.
Thousands of new boxes? You don’t need them.
All you do is print sleeves with your unique design and slide them over your existing packaging.
Christmas range, Valentine’s gift set, new flavour launch – sleeves make it straightforward and cost-effective.
Recycling is straightforward with paper sleeves, and they use less material than a full printed box.
Customers value when brands think about sustainability, and sleeves show your commitment to environmental responsibility across the entire manufacturing process, from label design to last bite.
Food Wallet Packaging Options
Despite the name, wallet packaging is actually pretty simple.
It’s a flat piece of card that folds around your product, typically with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Why do food businesses across Scotland choose wallet packaging? Because it’s practical, great value, and looks fantastic.
Product protection during transport and retail display is where wallets truly excel.
Card material shields your food from damage, keeps everything together, and stacks neatly for delivery and storage.
You get loads of design space with wallet packaging.
You’ve got plenty of room across those flat panels for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and whatever else you need to communicate to your customers.
Our custom wallet designs fit your specific product precisely.
Not nearly right – properly right.
We measure everything carefully and produce samples so you can test before committing to a full production.
Our Approach – Quality Packaging Done Right
Our process is built to be easy for beginners but capable enough for professionals.
Whether you’re launching your first product or you’re an experienced brand leader, we’ve got options that fit how you prefer to work.
