We understand just how passionate business owners are about their business and believe that they deserve a packaging experience that matches that passion.

Stress-Free Design Process
From idea to product in just three easy steps, we have made our design process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

Then, either create or upload your design and insert it using our custom design tool.
Once you are happy, send your order to us and let the magic happen.
Don’t worry, if you don’t already have a design in mind, or would like a bit of inspiration, our wonderful team of experts is here to advise.
Vast Industry Experience At One of the Largest Packaging Companies in the UK
Decades of experience at Kennedy Smith gives the Custom Pack Studio team extensive knowledge and understanding of the retail and industrial packaging industry.
We know exactly what it takes to deliver on time every time, meeting strict deadlines, whilst complying with the strict quality standards of major supermarkets and regulatory requirements of highly-controlled industries such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Packaging Supplies Tailored to You and Your Business
Working at the home of one of Scotland’s largest packaging manufacturers, we have the capacity to fulfil orders of all shapes and sizes, using the highest quality materials, and offering a far larger range of packaging products than most independent packaging suppliers.
Custom Pack Studio was built from a desire to offer access to these fantastic facilities to growing businesses, whilst offering a level of customer service usually reserved for smaller local packaging companies.
We know how hard business owners work to grow their brand, and having a packaging company you can trust in your corner is essential. We always provide packaging you can rely on.
Cost-Effective Pricing for Bespoke Packaging Solutions
We know that growing businesses are always on a strict budget, which is why we have done all we can to keep our prices as affordable and competitive as possible.
All while retaining the high quality products and packaging materials we are renowned for.
As you scale, we scale with you, offering a single source of cost-effective packaging for everyone from start-ups to multinationals.
Fast Delivery Across Scotland and the UK
Custom Pack Studio’s factory is in Irvine, a short drive from Glasgow and within easy reach of the rest of the Central Belt.
Being close by means you’re not vulnerable to international shipping fluctuations and custom clearance issues that overseas suppliers face.
Whether you’re based in Glasgow or shipping from elsewhere in the UK, the same team and the same production line handles your order from first sample to full production run.
Our Specialist Packaging Products
Thanks to our relationship with our parent company Kennedy Smith, Custom Pack Studio are able to offer a much wider range of products than most independent packaging companies in the Scottish packaging industry.
Our packaging types include:
- Reverse Tuck End Packaging
- Crash Lock Box Packaging
- Postal Box Packaging
- Wallet Packaging
- Sleeve Packaging
- Gusset Packaging
- Food Packaging
You have complete control over every part of the process, all the way from design to delivery.
All our options are designed and manufactured to the same highest standards, maintaining our reputation for cutting-edge eco friendly protective packaging across all our product lines.
Our packaging offers the best of both worlds to Glasgow businesses.
We provide a wide range of protective packaging usually reserved for the very largest packaging companies, built into custom solutions which meet the often unique and ever changing needs of businesses in a growth phase.
Sturdy Cardboard Packaging
Our cardboard is fully recyclable and biodegradable, and comes in different strengths depending on what you’re shipping.
It’s the standard choice for retail cartons and presentation boxes, where the product only needs to look sharp and hold its shape on a shelf.
It is also perfect for Glasgow businesses shipping heavier or fragile items, from glassware to bulk food orders, often need that extra protective packaging to survive a long transit or repeated handling in a warehouse.
Our team looks at the weight, fragility and shipping distance of what you’re packing before recommending the board type that fits, so you’re not paying for strength the product doesn’t need.
Packaging Glasgow Design Support
Our design team supports Glasgow businesses by phone, video call, or in person at the factory near Irvine, whichever works best for you.
Send us a logo or a rough sketch, and we’ll turn it into packaging design that matches your fonts, colours and dimensions rather than a stock layout with your logo dropped on top.
Prefer to do it yourself? Our online tool lets you customise every dimension and upload your own print-ready files before you commit to an order.
Either way, nothing goes to print until you’ve approved a proof, so what arrives matches what you signed off.
If you’d rather talk it through first, book one of our free design consultations before you order anything.

Packaging Supplier Glasgow: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a minimum order quantity?
No. You can order a single box to test your design, a small batch for a product launch, or thousands for ongoing production. This flexibility is valuable for Glasgow startups and small businesses who need professional packaging without committing to bulk orders they cannot store or afford.
How much does custom packaging cost in Glasgow?
Pricing depends on box style, dimensions, material thickness, print complexity, and quantity. A simple printed carton might start from a few pounds per unit for small quantities, with per-unit costs dropping significantly as quantities increase. We provide free quotes with no obligation, so you can compare options before committing.
How long does delivery take to Glasgow?
Standard orders ship within 7 to 10 working days from artwork approval. Because we manufacture in Scotland rather than importing from overseas, our lead times are shorter than many online platforms. Delivery to Glasgow postcodes (G1 through G84) is usually next-day once dispatched from our facility.
Can you help if I do not have a design ready?
Absolutely. Many Glasgow customers come to us with just an idea or a logo, not finished artwork. Our design team can help create packaging that works for your product and your brand. We offer design consultations to discuss your requirements, and our online tool includes templates to visualise your packaging before production.
Is your packaging environmentally friendly?
Yes. All our cardboard packaging is 100% recyclable and made from responsibly sourced materials. We hold FSC and PEFC certification, and our operations align with ISO 14001 environmental management standards. We have net zero ambitions guiding our production processes and supply chain decisions.
Do you supply food-safe packaging?
Yes. We hold BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our facility and processes meet strict standards for food contact packaging. This is relevant for Glasgow food producers, bakeries, confectioners, and food brands who need packaging that complies with food safety regulations.
What industries do you supply packaging to?
We supply custom packaging to a wide range of industries. Our Glasgow customers include food and drink producers, cosmetics and beauty brands, coffee roasters, tea companies, jewellery makers, candle businesses, subscription box companies, e-commerce retailers, and gift retailers.
What is the difference between reverse tuck end and crash lock boxes?
Reverse tuck end boxes have flaps that tuck into the box at both ends, secured by friction. They are the classic retail carton style, ideal for shelf display or gifts. Crash lock boxes have pre-glued bases that pop into shape automatically, making them faster to assemble for high-volume packing and sturdier for heavier products.
Can I order samples before a large order?
Yes. Because we have no minimum order, you can order one or two boxes to check quality, size, and print before committing to larger quantities. Many Glasgow businesses use this approach to test packaging with customers before a full production run.
What is your relationship with Kennedy Smith?
Custom Pack Studio is part of the Kennedy Smith group, one of Scotland’s largest packaging manufacturers established in 1997. This gives us access to extensive manufacturing facilities and decades of expertise, while offering the personal service of a specialist packaging company.
