Serving Lichfield, Tamworth and Cannock with packaging that fits the product, survives the journey and keeps arriving - supplied from Golden Triangle stock.
WSUK's bespoke packaging reaches Lichfield from our Lutterworth site, around 45 minutes by road. What arrives is a specified set of materials rather than whatever was nearest the right size - and it keeps arriving, because the reorder point is set against your consumption rather than a guess.
The materials, specified against your SKUs - including the recommendation to drop the sizes that nearly fit and the second tape that is doing the first tape's job.
One-off runs and standing call-off schedules both work into WS13-WS14. The run is produced once, held around 45 minutes from Lichfield, and drawn down as you need it.
Distribution, logistics and light 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.
If you draw a map of Lichfield's industrial land it follows A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9) closely, which is why Fradley Park, Britannia Enterprise Park and Trent Valley ended up where they did. WS13-WS14 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.
WSUK supplies Lichfield from the Golden Triangle rather than from a yard in Staffordshire, 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 45 minutes away and called off on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9), it occupies racking that is already working for a dozen other accounts.
Lichfield's trade mix - Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing - shapes what packaging the area gets through. Different sectors fail differently: manufactured and engineered goods are usually a load and corrosion problem, retail and online stock is usually a movement and carrier-band problem, and food and consumer goods sit somewhere between the two. Specifying from the sector rather than from a catalogue is most of the work.
Bespoke work for Lichfield businesses starts with measurement - the real external dimensions of the product, its weight, its weak axis - and with how it travels, because a pallet journey and a parcel journey fail in completely different ways. From there we specify the format, make a sample you approve with your own product in it, and then produce it.
Bespoke costs more per pack and frequently less per despatch, and which of those matters depends on volume. A Lichfield business sending a few units a week will rarely recover a cutting form; one sending steadily through the year recovers it in void fill, carrier volume and damage that stops happening. We will say which case we think you are in.
The question we ask a Lichfield 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.

Around 45 minutes from our Lutterworth site.
Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing.
Estates, districts and neighbouring towns covered by the same Lichfield delivery pattern:
Lichfield businesses use us because the specification work is done before anything is quoted, and because the stock is already made when they reorder. around 45 minutes from the Golden Triangle on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9) is a short, predictable delivery leg.
We are straight with Lichfield 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.

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 WS13-WS14, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Bespoke Packaging in Lichfield at WSUK, answered plainly.
Only to the delivery, not to the service. Fradley Park, Britannia Enterprise Park, Trent Valley and the rest of WS13-WS14 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.
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.
Yes - Tamworth, Cannock and Burton upon Trent are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Staffordshire area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Lichfield business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.
Anything specified to your product rather than chosen from a standard range - a carton made to internal dimensions, a fitted insert or partition, cut foam, a corrugated fitment, or a presentation format. If a standard line would do the job, we will tell you that instead.
This page covers bespoke packaging of any format - cartons, inserts, foam, fitments, presentation. Bespoke carton manufacture is the corrugated box itself: internal dimensions, board grade, style and tooling. Most projects involve both.
