Bespoke Carton Manufacture into Cannock: the line list specified once against your SKUs, then delivered into WS11-WS12 as often as your despatch volume needs it.
WSUK provides bespoke carton manufacture across Cannock, Wolverhampton and Lichfield. Materials are specified to your product, held at our Lutterworth site around 45 minutes from Cannock, and delivered into WS11-WS12 on a schedule agreed against your real consumption. Bespoke and printed lines are sampled before any production run.
Standard lines where they do the job and bespoke or printed lines where they earn it. Either way the specification is written down, so nobody re-decides the box size every quarter.
around 45 minutes by road from Lutterworth, in on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34. Reorder points are agreed against your real consumption so the materials turn up before the shelf is empty rather than after somebody notices.
Distribution, warehousing and manufacturing. Each fails differently, so each needs its own specification - which is why we work per SKU group rather than applying one house standard across a mixed range.
The estates around Cannock - Tom Hill, Hawks Green, Kingswood Lakeside - developed around access to M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34, and the WS11-WS12 postcodes still reflect that. What has changed is the order profile. Far more of Cannock's outbound volume now leaves as single parcels rather than pallets, and the packaging most businesses hold was specified for the old shape of that traffic.
From our Lutterworth site it is around 45 minutes to Cannock on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34. That is the whole supply chain for packaging into Staffordshire, and its chief virtue is that the stock is already made. When a line runs low in Cannock, the question is when a vehicle is coming rather than when a machine is free - which is the difference between a replenishment and a stopped pack bench.
With Distribution, warehousing and manufacturing prominent around Cannock, the packaging questions in the area are not uniform. A manufacturer worries about stack load and whether a machined surface will corrode in storage; an online retailer worries about carrier size bands and whether the product moves inside the box. Both are solvable and neither is solved by buying more cushioning.
The conversation usually starts in one of two places. Either a standard size leaves a gap that gets filled on every single despatch, in which case the carton is being paid for twice - once in void fill and again in the volume a carrier charges for - or the product does not survive the journey from Cannock however much padding goes in, which is a fit problem rather than a protection problem.
What we need to arrange a carton run is the internal dimension set, the weight, how the carton will be stacked and whether it is printed. If a Cannock business already has a drawing or an existing carton we can work from, that shortens the process considerably - and if not, the product itself and its protection are enough to specify from.
A good first step for a Cannock account is simply to write the specification down. Once each SKU group has an agreed box, an agreed protection standard and an agreed fill, packs become consistent, damage becomes measurable, and nobody at the bench has to make a judgement call on every order.

What Cannock 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.
For Cannock the practical advantages are consolidation, specification and continuity - one account instead of four, materials chosen against the product, and a reorder point set against what you actually use.
Specification first, then a quote against it.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Cannock.
Materials and sizes chosen for the product and the journey.
Priced against the specification, with a physical sample on anything bespoke or printed.
Delivered into WS11-WS12, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Bespoke Carton Manufacture in Cannock at WSUK, answered plainly.
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 Cannock businesses now do both and need both answered.
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 Cannock as you need it.
Yes. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 45 minutes from Cannock by road on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34, and delivered into WS11-WS12 and the surrounding Staffordshire area.
Yes - distance is not the constraint, evidence is. Send us damaged returns or photographs of how items arrive and we can specify against the actual cause rather than adding protection and hoping.
There is a practical minimum because the carton is being made rather than picked off a shelf. Tell us the volumes and we will tell you what quantity makes sense - and whether a stock size would be the better answer at your volume.
It depends on the weight, how the cartons are stacked, and whether they travel palletised or through a parcel network. We specify it rather than defaulting to double wall for everything, because over-specified board costs money on every unit.
