We’re an independent packaging partner based in Gretna, and we offer custom solutions for businesses of every size, whether you’re a local takeaway, a bakery start-up, or an well-known food business distributing across Scotland and beyond.
So what makes us stand out?
Simple: we actually hear what you need.
From craft producers launching their first product to well-known brands looking for specialist packaging, every client gets treated the same manner.
We take real time to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what truly matters to your business.
BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation means every single item in our huge range of products meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance.
Why Food and Drink Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
Decades in the packaging field have given us experience with nearly every type of food business you can imagine.
We’ve worked with them all: takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers.
What the food and drink industry requires is something our team learned at Kennedy Smith, gaining detailed knowledge along the way.
We worked on packaging for some of Gretna’s biggest brands and learned precisely what it takes to meet tough safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
We understand the specific difficulties you face because of that wide-ranging experience.
Rules? We know them back to front.
We’re well aware of the sustainability concerns.
We know what works on the shelves and what falls flat, because we’ve seen both.
The food industry never slows down.
A packaging supplier that keeps up with evolving requirements, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers demand is what you need.
That’s where we come in.
Fair Quality Food and Drink Packaging in Scotland
Competitive pricing is what we offer, and we never cut corners on quality to get there.
Food safety standards are met by every product we provide, and each one performs precisely as it should.
That goes whether you’re keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look incredible on the shelf.
Consistent Delivery Service Across Scotland
We deliver across the whole of Gretna and right across Scotland.
Packaging needs to turn up on time, and we understand that better than anyone.
We don’t just claim it, that’s how we run business every single day.
You can’t afford to run out of packaging right before a busy weekend or seasonal rush.
Our Irvine location and delivery service mean consistent supply across Gretna and Scotland.
Our Exceptional Customer Service
Outstanding client service starts the moment you call us.
The right packaging for your product is what we’ll find together, and we explain everything in plain language.
Honest advice from people who know this industry inside out, with no confusing technical language and no hidden costs.
Specialist Packaging Solutions Across Gretna
Every food and drink business has different packaging requirements.
The packaging a high-street bakery wants is worlds apart from what a top-shelf whisky brand is after.
The packaging requirements of a ready meal manufacturer don’t overlap with those of a craft coffee roaster.
All of that? We know it.
Instead of pushing a standard solution on everyone, we use a different approach.
We work as your ally 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 capabilities can handle both.
Whether your order is big or small, the service level stays the same.
Sleeve Packaging for Food Products
Sleeve packaging is hugely popular in the food and drink world right now, and for good cause.
Sleeves are versatile, good-looking, and affordable.
It’s simply a printed wrapper that slides neatly over your product or its primary packaging.
Adding branding to plain boxes or containers is precisely what sleeves are perfect for.
Stock packaging that works brilliantly but looks a bit dull? We’ve seen it loads.
Slide a printed sleeve on and that generic box is suddenly transformed into something that shouts your brand name.
For seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are ideal.
Thousands of new boxes? You don’t need them.
Just 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 simple and cost-effective.
You use less material with paper sleeves than a full printed box, and they’re simple to recycle afterwards.
From label design to last bite, sleeves show your commitment to environmental responsibility at every stage, and customers respect brands that think about sustainability.
Packaging Wallets for the Food Industry
Wallet packaging sounds fancier than it actually is.
Essentially, it’s a flat piece of card that folds around your product, with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure to hold everything in place.
It’s practical, great value, and looks impressive – three reasons why food businesses across Scotland go for wallet packaging.
Wallets are excellent for protecting products during transport and retail display.
Your food is shielded from damage, kept together, and the wallets stack cleanly for delivery and storage.
Loads of design area comes as standard with wallet packaging.
Those flat panels give plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and whatever else you need to convey to customers.
Custom wallet designs that fit your specific product perfectly are what we create.
Not almost right, but actually right.
Everything is measured accurately, and we produce samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
