We’re an independent packaging partner based in Plains, and we offer custom solutions for businesses of every size, whether you’re a local takeaway, a bakery start-up, or an larger food business distributing across Scotland and beyond.
Why are we a cut above?
The answer is simple: we listen.
From craft producers launching their first product to premium brands after specialist packaging, every client gets treated the same way.
Our team takes real time to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what matters most to your company.
Every item in our wide product range meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance, backed by our BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation.
Why Select Custom Pack Studio for Food Packaging
Our decades of experience in the packaging industry mean we’ve worked 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 done the lot.
The experience our team gained at Kennedy Smith gave us deep knowledge of what food and drink businesses really demand.
We worked on packaging for some of Plains’s biggest brands and learned exactly what it takes to meet strict safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
That extensive experience gives us a true understanding of the specific pressures you face.
Regulations? We know them back to front.
Sustainability pressures? We know them.
We’ve seen what works on the shelves and what doesn’t.
The food business never stands still.
You need a packaging supplier who can keep up with evolving demands, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers demand.
We’re exactly the kind of supplier you need, and that’s where we come in.
Fair Quality Food and Drink Packaging in Scotland
Competitive prices are a given here, and we never cut corners on quality.
Food safety requirements are met by every product we supply, and each one performs exactly as it should.
Whether that’s keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look fantastic on the shelf.
Consistent Delivery
Our delivery service spans all of Plains and extends right across Scotland.
When you need packaging, you need it on time, and we get that.
We don’t just say it, that’s how we run business every single day.
Before a busy weekend or seasonal rush, running out of packaging simply isn’t something you can risk.
We keep you stocked without fail across Plains and Scotland, thanks to our delivery service and Irvine location.
Our Outstanding Customer Service
The moment you get in touch with us, you’ll experience the exceptional client service we deliver.
Finding the right packaging for your product is what our team does, and we explain everything in plain language along the way.
No jargon, no hidden costs, just honest, clear advice from a team that knows this field inside out.
Custom Packaging Solutions Across Plains
Packaging requirements are different for every food and drink business.
The packaging a high-street bakery needs is completely different from what a top-shelf whisky brand is after.
The requirements of a ready meal producer don’t match those of a craft coffee roaster.
We understand that.
Instead of pushing a standard option on every client, we use a different approach.
Finding exactly what works for your product, your brand, and your budget is how we work as your ally.
Our machinery and manufacturing capabilities mean we can handle both small craft runs and large-scale production of packaging products.
Regardless of your order volume, the level of service stays the same.
Packaging Sleeves for Food Products
In the food and drink packaging industry, sleeve packaging has become extremely popular, and it’s easy to see why.
It’s versatile, eye-catching, and cost-effective.
It’s basically a printed wrapper that slides right over your product or its primary packaging.
They’re perfect for adding branding to plain boxes or containers.
You might have stock packaging that’s perfectly functional but a bit boring to look at.
One printed sleeve transforms that generic box straight away into something that screams your brand name.
Sleeves are brilliant for seasonal ranges or limited editions.
You don’t need to order thousands of brand new boxes.
Get sleeves printed with your unique design and slide them right 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 easy to recycle as well.
Customers respect brands that think about sustainability, and sleeves show that you’re serious about your environmental responsibilities at all stages of the manufacturing process, from label design to last bite.
Packaging Wallets for the Food Industry
The name might suggest something complicated, but wallet packaging is really simple.
Think of it as a flat piece of card that folds snugly around your product, with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Wallet packaging is functional, affordable, and looks fantastic, which is why food businesses across Scotland choose it.
During transport and retail display, wallets do a great job of protecting your products.
Everything stays together and protected from damage, and the card material stacks neatly for both delivery and storage.
Loads of design space comes as standard with wallet packaging.
Plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to share – that’s what all those flat panels provide.
Our made-to-order wallet designs fit your specific product perfectly.
We don’t do roughly right, we do precisely right.
Our team takes precise measurements and produces samples, so you can test everything before committing to a full order.
