We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Saltcoats, delivering tailored solutions for businesses of every size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to established food businesses with distribution across the UK and beyond.
What makes us different?
We hear you, and we mean it.
Every client gets equal treatment from us, whether you’re a craft producer launching your first product or a established brand after specialist packaging.
What matters to your company, your packaging requirements, your brand – our team takes the time to understand every detail.
With BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC accreditation, our facilities ensure that every product in our extensive range meets the highest food safety, sustainability, and compliance standards.
Food and Drink Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
We’ve spent decades in the packaging field and have worked with nearly every type of food business you can think of.
Takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, major retailers – we’ve done the lot.
Working at Kennedy Smith gave our team deep knowledge of exactly what the food and drink sector requires.
We learned precisely what it takes to meet rigorous safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets by working on packaging for some of Saltcoats’s biggest brands.
All that experience means we genuinely understand the specific challenges you face.
The rules aren’t a mystery to us.
Sustainability issues are something we get.
What works on the shelf and what doesn’t – we’ve seen it all.
Things move quickly in the food business.
Changing demands, tight delivery schedules, 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 Packaging Scotland at Rates That Work
Competitive prices are guaranteed here, and we never cut corners on quality.
Food safety requirements are met by every product we deliver, 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 outstanding on the shelves.
Consistent Delivery
All of Saltcoats and the rest of the Scotland are covered by our delivery service.
When you need packaging, you need it on time, and we understand that.
This isn’t just a pledge; it’s actually how we do business every single day.
You can’t afford to run out of packaging right before a busy weekend or seasonal rush.
Reliable supply across Saltcoats and Scotland is what our delivery service and Irvine hub deliver.
Outstanding Customer Service
Outstanding client service starts the moment you get in touch with us.
We work with you to find the right packaging for your product and explain everything in plain terms.
No confusing industry speak, no hidden costs – just honest advice from people who know this sector inside out.
Custom Packaging Solutions Across Saltcoats
Packaging needs are different for every food and drink business.
A top-shelf whisky brand and a high-street bakery have completely different packaging priorities.
The requirements of a ready meal manufacturer don’t match those of a craft coffee roaster.
We totally know that.
We don’t push a generic solution on everyone, and that’s the point.
As your packaging ally, we find exactly 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.
The service you get is the same, no matter how big or small your order is.
Food Sleeve Packaging
Sleeve packaging has become really popular in the food and drink packaging industry, and for good cause.
Three things make it work: it’s adaptable, eye-catching, and cost-effective.
A sleeve is essentially a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
They’re perfect for adding branding to plain boxes or containers.
Perhaps your stock packaging works well for your product, but it seems a bit boring.
A printed sleeve is all it takes to transform a generic box into something that announces your brand name straight away.
Sleeves work perfectly for seasonal ranges and limited editions.
Thousands of new boxes? You don’t need them.
Print sleeves with your unique design and slide them straight over your existing packaging.
From Christmas ranges to Valentine’s gift sets and new flavour launches, sleeves make the whole process simple and affordable.
Paper sleeves use less material than a full printed box, and they’re simple to recycle.
From label design to last bite, sleeves show your commitment to environmental responsibility at every stage, and customers appreciate brands that think about sustainability.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Industry
Wallet packaging might sound complicated, but it’s really pretty simple.
It’s a flat card that folds around your product, typically secured with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Why do food businesses across Scotland choose wallet packaging? Because it’s practical, cost-effective, and looks great.
Transport and retail display protection is something wallets do really well.
Everything stays in place and protected from damage, and the card material stacks cleanly for both delivery and storage.
Design room? Wallets offer loads of it.
With all those flat panels, there’s plenty of room for your branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else your customers need to know.
We create tailored wallet designs that fit your specific product perfectly.
Not roughly right, but actually right.
Before you commit to a full order, our team measures everything accurately and produces samples for you to test.

Created by people who understand the food and drink sector inside out, these are proper starting points that reflect what a quality product looks and feels like.
