We’re based right here in Penicuik as an independent packaging partner, providing tailored solutions for businesses of every size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups through to established food businesses with distribution across Scotland and beyond.
What makes us different?
Put simply, we hear you out.
From craft producers launching their first product to premium brands after specialist packaging, every client gets treated the same way.
We take real time to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what truly matters to your business.
We’re accredited to BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC, so you can be certain that every item in our extensive product range meets the highest food safety, sustainability, and compliance standards.
Custom Pack Studio – Why Food Businesses Choose Us
Nearly every type of food business you can imagine has worked with us, backed by our decades in the packaging field.
From takeaways and bakery chains to drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers, we’ve covered them all.
What the food and drink industry requires is something our team learned at Kennedy Smith, gaining deep knowledge along the way.
Through packaging work for some of Penicuik’s biggest brands, we learned precisely what’s needed to meet rigorous safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
All that experience means we genuinely understand the specific challenges you face.
Every rule that applies, we know it.
We know the sustainability issues too.
We’ve seen what works on the shop floor and what falls flat.
Speed is the nature of the food business.
You need a packaging supplier who can keep up with shifting requirements, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers require.
And that’s where we come in.
Competitive Quality Food and Drink Packaging in Scotland
Quality remains high and prices stay competitive – we don’t cut corners.
We provide products that meet food safety requirements and perform precisely as they should, every single time.
Keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look outstanding on the shelf – our packaging does both.
Consistent Delivery Service
Penicuik and Scotland are entirely covered by our delivery service.
Packaging needs to turn up on time, and we know that better than anyone.
This isn’t just a promise; it’s really how we do business every single day.
Before a busy weekend or seasonal rush, running out of packaging simply isn’t acceptable.
Reliable supply across Penicuik and Scotland is what our delivery service and Irvine base deliver.
Customer Service That Matters
From the moment you contact us, you’ll receive first-class client service.
Our team works with you to find the right packaging for your product, and we explain everything in plain language.
There’s no confusing technical language and no hidden costs, just honest advice from a team that knows this field inside out.
Specialist Packaging Solutions Across Penicuik
No two food and drink businesses have the same packaging needs.
High-street bakeries and high-end whisky brands have entirely different packaging requirements.
The needs of a ready meal producer don’t match those of a craft coffee roaster.
We completely understand that.
Instead of pushing a standard answer on every client, we use a different approach.
Your product, your brand, your budget – we work as your ally to find precisely what works across all three.
Our manufacturing capacity and machinery mean small craft runs and large-scale production are both fully within reach.
The service you get is the same, whatever how big or small your order is.
Food Sleeve Packaging
Sleeve packaging is really popular in the food and drink industry right now, and for good cause.
It’s versatile, good-looking, and cost-effective.
A sleeve slides over your product or its primary packaging as a printed wrapper, it’s as simple as that.
For adding branding to plain boxes or containers, sleeves are the perfect solution.
Stock packaging that works well but looks a bit dull? We’ve seen it loads.
That generic box turns into something that screams your brand name the moment a printed sleeve goes on.
Got a seasonal range or limited edition planned? Sleeves are great.
Thousands of new boxes? You don’t need them.
Print your special design onto sleeves and slide them over your existing packaging.
Sleeves make everything from Christmas ranges and Valentine’s gift sets to new flavour launches simple and cost-effective.
Paper sleeves require less material than a full printed box, and recycling them is straightforward.
Customers value when brands think about sustainability, and sleeves show your commitment to environmental responsibility across the full manufacturing process, from label design to last bite.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Industry
Despite the name, wallet packaging is actually pretty uncomplicated.
A flat piece of card folds around your product, typically with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure to secure it.
Why do food businesses across Scotland choose wallet packaging? Because it’s practical, cost-effective, and looks impressive.
During transport and retail display, wallets do a excellent job of protecting your products.
The card material shields food from damage, keeps everything together, and stacks tidily for delivery and storage.
You get loads of design area with wallet packaging.
All those flat panels mean plenty of room for your branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to communicate to customers.
Made-to-order wallet designs that fit your specific product exactly are what we create.
There’s a difference between nearly right and precisely right, and we insist on the latter.
Before you commit to a full order, our team measures everything precisely and produces samples for you to test.
