We’re an independent packaging partner based in Waterside, and we offer tailored 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.
So what makes us stand out?
The answer is straightforward: we pay attention.
Whether you’re a craft producer launching your first product or a well-known brand looking for specialist packaging, we treat every client the same manner.
Our team works closely with you to understand your packaging needs, your brand, and what matters most to your company.
Our facilities are accredited to BRC Global Packaging (High Hygiene), ISO 14001, and FSC/PEFC, giving you peace of mind that every single item in our huge range of products meets the highest standards of food safety, sustainability, and compliance.
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 name.
We’ve worked with them all: takeaways, bakery chains, drinks brands, ready meal manufacturers, artisan producers, and major retailers.
What the food and drink sector needs is something our team learned at Kennedy Smith, gaining detailed knowledge along the way.
Working on packaging for some of Waterside’s biggest brands taught us exactly what it takes to meet strict safety standards, tight deadlines, and the quality expectations of major supermarkets.
That extensive experience means we understand the specific challenges you face.
We understand every requirement.
We’re well aware of the sustainability concerns.
Years of experience have shown us what works on the shelf and what doesn’t.
The food sector never stands still.
Keeping up with evolving demands, tight delivery timelines, and the high standards your customers require takes the right packaging supplier.
We’re precisely the kind of supplier you need, and that’s where we come in.
Competitive Prices on Quality Food Packaging Scotland
Quality remains high and prices stay competitive – we don’t cut corners.
Every single product we supply meets food safety requirements and does precisely what it’s supposed to do.
That applies whether you’re keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look fantastic on the shelf.
Dependable Delivery Service Across Scotland
We deliver across the whole of Waterside and right across Scotland.
We get that packaging has to be there on time, every time.
This isn’t just a promise; it’s really how we do business every single day.
You can’t afford to run out of packaging right before a busy weekend or seasonal rush.
Our delivery service and Irvine location mean we can keep you covered consistently across Waterside and Scotland.
Our Outstanding Customer Service
Our first-class client service begins the moment you make contact.
We’ll work with you to find the right packaging for your product, explaining everything in plain language as we go.
No technical language, no hidden costs, just honest, straight-talking advice from a team that knows this industry inside out.
Waterside’s Specialist Packaging Solutions
Every food and drink business has different packaging needs.
What a high-street bakery wants is completely different from what a premium whisky brand wants.
A ready meal manufacturer has requirements that don’t match a craft coffee roaster.
We know that.
A standard answer pushed on every business? That’s not how we work.
We’re your packaging ally, and we’ll find precisely what works for your product, your brand, and your budget.
Both small craft runs and large-scale production of packaging products are covered by our machinery and manufacturing capacity.
The level of service stays the same whatever order volume.
Sleeve Packaging for the Food Industry
It’s no wonder that sleeve packaging has become really popular in food and drink packaging.
You get something that’s versatile, eye-catching, and great value all at once.
A sleeve is essentially a printed wrapper that slides over your product or its primary packaging.
If you’ve got plain boxes or containers, sleeves are perfect for adding your branding.
You might have stock packaging that’s perfectly functional but a bit dull to look at.
Printed sleeves change it right away, turning a generic box into something that shouts your brand name.
Got a seasonal range or limited edition planned? Sleeves are brilliant.
Thousands of new boxes? You don’t need them.
Print sleeves with your special design and slide them right over your existing packaging.
Sleeves make everything from Christmas ranges and Valentine’s gift sets to new flavour launches straightforward and affordable.
You use less material with paper sleeves than a full printed box, and they’re straightforward to recycle too.
Brands that think about sustainability earn customer trust, and sleeves prove your commitment to environmental responsibility at all stages, from label design to last mouthful.
Wallet Packaging for Food Businesses
Don’t let the name fool you – wallet packaging is actually pretty simple.
It’s a flat piece of card that folds around your product, often with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure.
Why do food businesses across Scotland choose wallet packaging? Because it’s practical, affordable, and looks great.
During transport and retail display, wallets do a great job of protecting your products.
The card material shields food from damage, keeps everything together, and stacks tidily for delivery and storage.
Design room? Wallets offer loads of it.
Plenty of room for branding, product information, ingredient lists, and whatever else you need to convey – that’s what all those flat panels provide.
We create custom wallet designs that fit your specific product perfectly.
Not roughly right, but properly right.
Samples are produced so you can test before committing to a full order, and our team measures everything carefully to make sure it’s right.
Quality Packaging Done Right – How We Work
For beginners it’s intuitive, for experienced users it’s capable – our process is designed for both.
First-time product launch or experienced brand owner? Our options fit how you like to work.

Our team will ensure your supplied artwork works smoothly with the packaging format you’ve chosen.
The technical side is what we handle, while you keep full control of the creative decisions.
Start With Templates
Unsure on where to start?
Get inspired with the range of professionally designed templates we have available.
Cookie-cutter designs that look like every other packaging? That’s not what you’ll find here.
Created by people who understand the food and drink sector inside out, these are proper starting points that show what a quality product looks and feels like.
You pick a template, personalise it with your brand colours and details, and that’s professional packaging sorted without starting from scratch.
