Serving Bedworth, Nuneaton and Hinckley with packaging that fits the product, survives the journey and keeps arriving - supplied from Golden Triangle stock.
Bespoke Carton Manufacture is available to Bedworth businesses from WSUK's Midlands base. The sequence is specification, sample where anything is bespoke or printed, then supply into CV12 - with stockholding and call-off where the quantities make that sensible. Bedworth is around 20 minutes from our Lutterworth operation.
Cartons and mailers in the sizes your product needs, one tape rather than three, void fill and foam matched to how the goods actually fail, and pallet consumables - specified as a set rather than bought line by line.
around 20 minutes by road from Lutterworth, in on M6 (J3), A444 and A4254. Reorder points are agreed against your real consumption so the materials turn up before the shelf is empty rather than after somebody notices.
Manufacturing, engineering and distribution. The requirement ranges from a few pallets a week to several hundred parcels a day, which is a wide spread of need inside one postcode area.
Industrial Bedworth is organised around M6 (J3), A444 and A4254. Bermuda Park and Bayton Road Industrial Estate take a large share of the town's outbound volume, with Prologis Park and the smaller units across CV12 making up the rest. The businesses there range from single-shift operations despatching a few pallets a week to ecommerce sellers putting out several hundred parcels a day - which is a very wide range of packaging requirement in a small area.
WSUK supplies Bedworth from the Golden Triangle rather than from a yard in Warwickshire, and the reason is storage economics. Packaging is bulky and low in value per cubic metre - precisely the wrong thing to be holding in expensive local space. Held centrally around 20 minutes away and called off on M6 (J3), A444 and A4254, it occupies racking that is already working for a dozen other accounts.
Given Bedworth's strength in Manufacturing, engineering and distribution, a good deal of local packaging is bought on habit - the same lines, the same quantities, specified for a product range that has since changed shape. Reviewing it tends to find the same three things: duplicate sizes, over-specified board, and a fill material that is treating a movement problem as a cushioning one.
Bespoke cartons come in run quantities, because the cutting form and the machine setup are spread across the run. That is the real obstacle for most Bedworth businesses - not the unit price but where to put the pallets. Stockholding is the usual answer: the economic quantity is produced, held in Midlands warehousing and called off into CV12 as you need it.
Cartons made to your own dimensions are also easier to hold and release, because the size is yours and nobody else draws against it. For a Bedworth business the practical shape of this is a run produced once, held in Midlands warehousing and called off - so the reorder is a delivery rather than a lead time.
For Bedworth businesses that have grown from pallets into parcels, or the other way round, the packaging usually has not kept up. A parcel network handles goods far more roughly and far less predictably than a pallet journey, so the same product genuinely needs a different pack in each case.

What Bedworth gets is a packaging supplier that also packs orders for a living, so the specification is written from the pack bench outward rather than from a catalogue inward.
We are straight with Bedworth businesses about what is worth changing and what is not. If a standard line does the job, or a substitution would increase damage, we will say so rather than sell it.
Specification first, then a quote against it.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Bedworth.

Bespoke Carton Manufacture in Bedworth at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes, and for printed or bespoke lines it is usually the sensible arrangement. You buy the economic run quantity, we hold it in Midlands warehousing, and you call off into Bedworth as you need it.
No, and it is a deliberate structure rather than a gap. Packaging is held centrally in the Midlands so that run quantities of printed and bespoke lines can be stocked without any single customer paying for the space - and so a reorder from Bedworth is a delivery rather than a production lead time.
Yes, and they need different specifications. Online orders are about carrier size bands and network handling; manufactured goods are about stack load, restraint and corrosion. Plenty of Bedworth businesses now do both and need both answered.
Only to the delivery, not to the service. Bermuda Park, Prologis Park, Bayton Road Industrial Estate and the rest of CV12 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.
This page is the corrugated carton itself. Bespoke packaging covers the whole fitted solution including inserts, foam and non-carton formats. A typical project uses both - a made-to-size carton with a fitted insert in it.
It removes the empty volume that volumetric charging is based on, which is usually where the saving sits. Whether that outweighs the unit price depends on your volumes and your carrier terms - a packaging review is how to find out rather than assume.
