We’re an independent packaging partner based right here in Stranraer, offering custom 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 stand out?
We really listen.
Craft producer launching your first product? Well-known brand searching for specialist packaging? We treat every single client the same manner.
Our team takes the time to understand your packaging needs, your brand, and what matters most to your company.

Why Food Businesses Trust Custom Pack Studio
Decades in the packaging sector have given us experience with nearly every type of food business you can think of.
We’ve worked with them all: takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers.
Kennedy Smith is where our team built thorough knowledge of what the food and drink industry needs.
We learned exactly what it takes to meet tough safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets by working on packaging for some of Stranraer’s biggest brands.
The specific pressures you face aren’t new to us, and that broad experience is why.
We know the rules.
The sustainability concerns your business faces, we understand them all.
We know what works on the shelf and what falls flat, because we’ve seen it all.
Speed is the nature of the food industry.
Your packaging supplier needs to keep up with shifting requirements, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers require.
That’s where we come in.
Competitive Quality Food and Drink Packaging in Scotland
You get competitive prices from us, and we never cut corners on quality.
Every single product we supply meets food safety standards and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
From keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer to making a craft chocolate bar look incredible on the shelves, our packaging performs.
Consistent Delivery
Our delivery service spans all of Stranraer and extends right across Scotland.
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.
A busy weekend or seasonal rush is no time to have no packaging.
Our Irvine hub and delivery service mean dependable supply across Stranraer and Scotland.

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.
There’s no confusing jargon and no hidden costs, just honest advice from a team that knows this industry inside out.
Specialist Food Packaging Across Stranraer
Different food and drink businesses have different packaging requirements.
Compare a high-street bakery to a top-shelf whisky brand, and you’ll see completely different packaging needs.
A craft coffee roaster’s needs and a ready meal manufacturer’s couldn’t be more different.
We totally know that.
We choose not to push a standard option on everyone.
Your product, your brand, your budget – we work as your ally to find exactly what works across all three.
Whether it’s small craft runs or large-scale production of packaging products, our machinery and manufacturing capacity can handle it all.
Regardless of your order size, the level of service stays the same.
Sleeve Packaging for the Food Sector
Food and drink businesses have made sleeve packaging hugely popular, and for good cause.
Sleeve packaging is flexible, attention-grabbing, and affordable.
In plain terms, a sleeve is a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
For adding branding to plain boxes or containers, sleeves are the perfect solution.
Perhaps your stock packaging works perfectly for your product, but it looks a bit dull.
One printed sleeve transforms that generic box instantly into something that screams your brand name.
Seasonal ranges and limited editions are where sleeves really come into their own.
No need to commit to thousands of entirely new boxes.
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 straightforward and affordable.
Less material than a full printed box and easy to recycle – that’s what paper sleeves offer.
From label design to last bite, sleeves show your commitment to environmental responsibility at every stage, and customers respect brands that think about sustainability.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Industry
The name might imply something fancy, but wallet packaging is really straightforward.
It’s a flat card that folds around your product, often secured with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Wallet packaging is useful, affordable, and looks great, which is why food businesses across Scotland choose it.
Wallets offer excellent protection for your products during transport and on retail display.
Food stays protected from damage, everything stays contained, and the card stacks tidily for delivery and storage.
Wallet packaging offers you loads of design room to work with.
Branding, product information, ingredient lists, and more – all those flat panels give you plenty of room to get across everything to your customers.
Every wallet we create is tailored to fit your specific product perfectly.
Not nearly – properly right, every time.
Before you commit to a full order, our team measures everything precisely and produces samples for you to test.
