We’re based right here in South Side as an independent packaging partner, offering custom solutions for businesses of every size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups through to larger food businesses with distribution across Scotland and beyond.
Why are we different?
We genuinely pay attention.
Every client gets the same treatment from us, whether you’re a craft producer launching your first product or a well-known brand in need of specialist packaging.
We take genuine time to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what truly matters to your company.
We’re accredited to BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC, so you can be sure that every item in our extensive product range meets the highest food safety, sustainability, and compliance standards.
Why Food and Drink Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
Our decades of experience in the packaging industry mean we’ve worked with just about every type of food business you can name.
We’ve worked with takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers – the lot.
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 South Side’s biggest brands, we learned precisely what’s required to meet tough safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
That extensive experience means we understand the specific pressures you face.
We’re across all the regulations.
We’re well aware of the sustainability issues.
We know what works on the shelves and what falls flat, because we’ve seen both.
Speed is the nature of the food industry.
Your packaging supplier needs to keep up with evolving requirements, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers require.
And that’s where we come in.
Fair Quality Food and Drink Packaging in Scotland
Quality stays high and prices stay competitive – we don’t cut corners.
We provide products that meet food safety requirements and perform exactly as they should, every single time.
It doesn’t matter if you need to keep a ready meal fresh in the freezer or make a craft chocolate bar look incredible on the shelf.
Reliable Delivery Service
South Side and Scotland are completely covered by our delivery service.
Timing matters, and we know that when you need packaging, you need it on time.
Every single day, that’s how we do business, it’s not just a claim.
Busy weekends and seasonal rushes demand packaging, and running out is never an option.
Consistent supply across South Side and Scotland is what our delivery service and Irvine location guarantee.
First-Class Client Service
We provide first-class client service from the moment you contact us.
Our team works with you to find the right packaging for your product, and we explain everything in plain language.
We don’t use confusing industry speak and we don’t hide costs, you just get honest advice from people who know this sector inside out.
Specialist Food Packaging Across South Side
Every food and drink business has different packaging requirements.
What a high-street bakery needs is completely different from what a high-end whisky brand wants.
A craft coffee roaster’s requirements and a ready meal manufacturer’s couldn’t be more different.
That’s something we totally appreciate.
We choose not to push a standard solution on everyone.
Your product, your brand, your budget – we work as your ally to find precisely what works across all three.
Our machinery and manufacturing setup mean we can handle both small craft runs and large-scale production of packaging products.
The level of service stays the same no matter order size.
Sleeve Packaging for Food Products
It’s no accident that sleeve packaging has become really popular in food and drink packaging.
Adaptable, attention-grabbing, and affordable – that’s what makes sleeve packaging work.
Essentially, a sleeve is a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
Adding branding to plain boxes or containers is exactly what sleeves are perfect for.
Maybe you’ve got stock packaging that works perfectly for your product, but it’s a bit plain.
A printed sleeve is all it takes to transform a generic box into something that announces your brand name instantly.
For seasonal ranges or limited editions, sleeves are great.
No need to commit to thousands of completely new boxes.
Print sleeves with your new design and slide them straight over your existing packaging.
A Christmas range, a Valentine’s gift set, a new flavour launch – sleeves manage them all, simply and affordably.
Paper sleeves use less material than a full printed box, and they’re straightforward to recycle.
Sleeves show that you’re committed to environmental responsibility at every stage of the manufacturing process, from label design to last bite, and customers appreciate brands that think about sustainability.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Sector
Don’t let the name mislead you – wallet packaging is actually pretty simple.
Basically, 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, cost-effective, and looks impressive – three things why food businesses across Scotland go for wallet packaging.
Transport and retail display protection is something wallets handle really well.
Your food is shielded from damage, kept contained, and the wallets stack neatly for delivery and storage.
You get loads of design room with wallet packaging.
With all those flat panels, there’s plenty of room for your branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else your customers need to read.
Every wallet we create is tailored to fit your specific product precisely.
Not nearly right, but properly right.
Our team measures everything carefully and produces samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
How We Work – Quality Packaging Done Right
Our process is designed to be intuitive for beginners but thorough enough for professionals.
We’ve got options that fit how you like to work, whether you’re launching your first product or you’re an experienced brand manager.
Our Design Consultation
Could you do with some extra guidance?
We’ve got connections with professional graphic designers who bring years of experience and expert guidance to your project.
Whether you’re uncertain about the design of your packaging or you want everything to be right, our design contacts will guide you through the whole process.
They know food packaging inside out and understand precisely what catches customers’ eyes on the shelves.
Do Your Own Design
Know exactly what you want or have an existing design from elsewhere?
Our ordering process is straightforward and converts your ideas into reality fast.
Supply your own artwork and our team will make sure it works perfectly with your chosen packaging format.
You keep control of the creative decisions while we manage all the technical side.
Start With Templates
Not sure where to jump in?
Our professionally designed templates are on offer to get you started.
Bland designs that look like every other packaging? That’s not what you’ll find here.
People who understand the food and drink sector and know what quality looks and feels like created these templates as proper starting points.
Choose your template, add your brand colours and details, and you’ve got professional packaging without the hassle of starting from scratch.
