Bespoke Carton Manufacture into Raunds: the line list specified once against your SKUs, then delivered into NN9 as often as your despatch volume needs it.
For businesses in Raunds, bespoke carton manufacture from WSUK means a specified line list rather than a catalogue order. Stock is held centrally in the Midlands, around 40 minutes from Raunds, and delivered into NN9. Where print or bespoke tooling is involved, the run is produced once and called off as needed.
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 40 minutes by road from Lutterworth, in on A45, A14 and A6. Reorder points are agreed against your real consumption so the materials turn up before the shelf is empty rather than after somebody notices.
National distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and joinery. 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.
If you draw a map of Raunds's industrial land it follows A45, A14 and A6 closely, which is why Warth Park (Howdens, Primark DC), Kimbolton Road and Higham Ferrers ended up where they did. NN9 covers it all. The businesses despatching from there have the same three packaging questions as everyone else - does it fit, does it protect, and what is it costing delivered - and very few have answers.
Packaging for Raunds is held at our Lutterworth site, around 40 minutes by road. Some suppliers would call that remote; in practice it is the arrangement that lets a Raunds business buy at a run-quantity price without surrendering a corner of its own unit to several months of corrugated. The call-off comes in on A45, A14 and A6 when it is needed.
Around Raunds the trade is largely National distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and joinery. For packaging purposes the useful distinction is not the sector but the journey: anything going through a parcel network is handled more roughly and more unpredictably than anything going on a pallet, and the same product needs a different pack in each case. Plenty of Raunds businesses now do both.
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 Raunds 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 Raunds 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.
The question we ask a Raunds business first is not what you currently buy but what you despatch - product dimensions, weight, how it travels, and what has gone wrong. From there the specification follows. Starting from the existing line list tends to reproduce whatever decisions were made years ago.

Bespoke Carton Manufacture in Raunds at WSUK, answered plainly.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from Raunds and what is going wrong now, and specifying it is our job. If you already have a line list, send it and we will tell you what we would change.
That is what a packaging review is for, and we will not quote you a percentage before looking. It examines materials, storage, transport, labour, damage and waste together and sets the findings out in writing.
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 Raunds businesses now do both and need both answered.
Supply is in trade quantities rather than retail packs, so there is a practical minimum per line. Tell us what you get through in Raunds and we will tell you what shape an order should take - we would rather not sell you a pallet of something you use twice a year.
Yes - packaging stockholding means the run is held and called off in the quantities you need rather than filling your own racking.
Yes, plain or printed. Print and format are specified together because the style affects what can be printed where - see custom printed packaging.
