We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in St Andrews, providing made-to-order solutions for businesses of every size, from local takeaways and bakery start-ups to well-known food businesses with distribution across the UK and beyond.
What makes us different?
The answer is simple: we hear what you need.
Whether you’re a craft producer launching your first product or a premium brand in need of specialist packaging, we treat every client the same manner.
Our team sits down with you to understand your packaging requirements, your brand, and what matters most to your business.
We’re accredited to BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC, so you can be confident that every item in our huge product range meets the highest food safety, sustainability, and compliance standards.
Food and Drink Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
We’ve been in the packaging field for decades, working with nearly every type of food business out there.
From takeaways and bakery chains to drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers, we’ve worked with them all.
Our team’s time at Kennedy Smith gave us thorough insight into what the food and drink sector needs.
Some of St Andrews’s biggest brands trusted us with their packaging, and we learned exactly what it takes to meet rigorous safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
That wide-ranging experience gives us a real understanding of the specific pressures you face.
We know the rules.
We understand sustainability issues.
Years of experience have shown us what works on the shelves and what doesn’t.
The food industry moves fast.
Evolving requirements, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers expect all need a packaging supplier that can keep up.
We’re precisely the kind of supplier you need, and that’s where we come in.
Competitive 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 provide, and each one performs precisely as it should.
Keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look outstanding on the shelves – our packaging handles both.
Dependable Delivery Service
We ship across the whole of St Andrews and right across Scotland.
On-time delivery counts, and we know that when you need your packaging, you need it when promised.
This isn’t just a claim; it’s really how we do business every single day.
Running out of packaging before a busy weekend or seasonal rush isn’t something you can afford.
Based in Irvine, our delivery service keeps you stocked reliably across St Andrews and Scotland.
First-Class Service for Every Customer
The moment you get in touch with us, you’ll notice the outstanding client service we provide.
The right packaging for your product is what we’ll find together, and we explain everything in plain English.
You won’t find confusing industry speak or hidden costs here, just honest advice from people who know this industry inside out.
Custom Packaging Options Across St Andrews
Packaging needs are different for every food and drink business.
A high-street bakery wants something completely different from a top-shelf whisky brand.
The requirements of a ready meal manufacturer don’t match those of a craft coffee roaster.
We totally understand that.
We don’t push a one-size-fits-all solution on every client, and that’s the point.
Your product, your brand, your budget – we work as your partner to find exactly what works across all three.
Our machinery and manufacturing capacity mean we can handle both small craft runs and large-scale production of packaging products.
Whether your order is big or small, the service level stays the same.
Sleeve Packaging for Food Products
It’s no accident that sleeve packaging has become extremely popular in food and drink packaging.
You get something that’s adaptable, eye-catching, and great value all at once.
A sleeve is simply a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
They’re perfect for adding branding to plain boxes or containers.
Maybe you’ve got stock packaging that works well for your product, but it’s a bit dull.
A printed sleeve transforms it instantly, turning a generic box into something that screams your brand name.
Sleeves are brilliant for seasonal ranges or limited editions.
No need to buy thousands of entirely new boxes.
Print your new design onto sleeves and slide them over your existing packaging.
Whether it’s a Christmas range, a Valentine’s gift set, or a new flavour launch, sleeves make it straightforward and affordable.
Recycling is easy with paper sleeves, and they use less material than a full printed box.
Your customers value brands that think about sustainability, and sleeves are proof of your commitment to environmental responsibility at all stages of the process, from label design to last mouthful.
Food Wallet Packaging Options
Don’t let the name fool you – wallet packaging is really pretty straightforward.
It’s a flat card that folds around your product, typically held with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
It’s practical, great value, and looks fantastic – three reasons why food businesses across Scotland go for wallet packaging.
For protecting products during transport and retail display, wallets are excellent.
Everything stays contained and protected from damage, and the card material stacks cleanly for both delivery and storage.
Loads of design space comes as standard with wallet packaging.
Branding, product information, ingredient lists, and more – all those flat panels provide you plenty of room to get across everything to your customers.
We create custom wallets that fit your specific product perfectly.
Nearly right isn’t good enough – we aim for properly right.
Samples are produced so you can test before committing to a full order, and our team measures everything accurately to make sure it’s right.
