Why Food and Drink Businesses Choose Custom Pack Studio
With decades of experience in the packaging sector, we’ve worked with almost every type of food business you can imagine. Takeaways. Bakery chains. Drinks brands. Ready meal manufacturers. Artisan producers. Major retailers. We’ve done the lot.
Our team’s background at Kennedy Smith gave us deep knowledge of what the food and drink industry needs. We worked on packaging for some of Scotland’s biggest brands and learned 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 know the regulations. We understand sustainability concerns. We’ve seen what works on the shelf and what doesn’t.
The food industry moves fast. You need a packaging supplier who can keep up with changing requirements, tight delivery schedules, and the high standards your customers expect. That’s where we come in.
Quality Food and Drink Packaging at Competitive Prices
We offer competitive prices without cutting corners on quality. Every product we supply meets food safety regulations and performs exactly as it should. Whether that’s keeping a ready meal fresh in the freezer or making a craft chocolate bar look incredible on the shelf.
Reliable Delivery Service Across the UK
Our delivery service covers all of Scotland and extends right across the UK. We know that when you need packaging, you need it on time. That’s not just a promise, it’s 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 supplied consistently across Scotland and the UK.
Exceptional Customer Service
We provide exceptional 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 English. No confusing jargon. No hidden costs. Just honest advice from people who know this sector inside out.
Specialist Packaging Solutions Across Scotland
Every food and drink business has different packaging needs. A high-street bakery wants something completely different from a premium whisky brand. A ready meal company has requirements that don’t match a craft coffee roaster.
We get that. That’s why we don’t push a standard solution on everyone.
Instead, we work as your partner to 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 level of service stays the same regardless of order size.
Sleeve Packaging for Food Products
Sleeve packaging has become hugely popular in the food and drink packaging world, and for good reason. It’s versatile, eye-catching, and cost-effective. A sleeve is basically 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 perfectly for your product, but it’s a bit boring. 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. You don’t need to order thousands of completely new boxes. Just print sleeves with your special design and slide them over your existing packaging. Christmas range? Valentine’s gift set? New flavour launch? Sleeves make it easy and affordable.
Paper sleeves use less material than a full printed box, and they’re easy to recycle. Customers appreciate brands that think about sustainability, and sleeves show that you are committed to your environmental responsibilities at all stages of the manufacturing process, from label design to last bite.
Wallet Packaging for the Food Sector
Wallet packaging might sound fancy, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. It’s a flat piece of card that folds around your product, usually with tuck-in flaps or a simple closure. Food businesses across the UK choose wallet packaging because it’s practical, affordable, and looks great.
Wallets are great for protecting products during transport and retail display. The card material shields food from damage, keeps everything contained, and stacks neatly for delivery and storage. Wallets offer loads of design space. All those flat panels mean plenty of room for your branding, product information, ingredient lists, and anything else you need to communicate to customers.
We create bespoke wallet designs that fit your specific product perfectly. Not almost right. Actually right. Our team measures everything carefully and produces samples so you can test before committing to a full order.
