"Hinckley suits us because the hosiery trade and modern logistics live side by side here. Dodwells Bridge sits right by the M69 Junction 1, so shipments to Leicester and Coventry are genuinely quick."
Contract packing serving Hinckley and Leicestershire: bulk product turned into retail-ready packs, barcoded and pickable the same day it is built.
WSUK does contract packing for Hinckley brands in the same building the stock already sits in — which removes two freight movements and a week of transit. From £0.45 per unit, finished packs barcoded and pickable the same day. M69 (J1), A5, A47 and M1 (J21) on the doorstep; we also cover Nuneaton and Lutterworth.
Product rarely arrives in the format the customer buys. Co-packing is the gap, and doing it where the stock already sits saves a whole movement.
Twin packs, three-for-two banded sets, gift packs and seasonal bundles built and finished so they can be sold as a single line.
Barcodes corrected, country-of-origin and language labels applied, retailer-spec labels added and old labels removed properly.
Stock rejected at a retailer, damaged in transit or labelled wrong is inspected, reworked and made sellable rather than written off.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for one-off and project runs. Long-term contract rates apply to repeat pack formats where the work instruction is already established.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Multipacks, banding, sleeving and shrink wrapping.
Barcode, compliance and retailer-spec labels.
Rejected, damaged or mislabelled stock made sellable.

Hinckley earns its place in the Golden Triangle through sheer road access. The town meets the M69 at Junction 1, its own dedicated motorway link, and from there the A5 runs south-west while the M1 waits at Junction 21 to the east. That combination puts Magna Park, the giant Lutterworth distribution park, within a short drive and connects Hinckley cleanly to Leicester, Coventry and Nuneaton. For an LE10 town of its size, the concentration of strategic road infrastructure on its doorstep is unusual and valuable.
The estates around the town, Dodwells Bridge, Sketchley Meadows and Harrowbrook, carry a mix of distribution operators and the textile and hosiery businesses for which Hinckley has long been known. That hosiery heritage still colours the local economy, sitting alongside newer logistics and light-manufacturing tenants who have followed the roads in. The result is a working town where warehouse space serves both traditional makers and modern fulfilment, rather than being dominated by a single sector.
Positioned around 20 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, Hinckley is close enough to the region's rail-freight heart to plug into national networks while keeping the calmer costs of a Leicestershire market town. The A5, ancient Watling Street, threads past to the south, offering an alternative to the motorway when needed, while the M69 gives a fast, uncongested run between the M1 at Leicester and the M6 at Coventry, a corridor purpose-built for freight.
For co-packing, the saving around Hinckley is a movement you never make. Sending pallets to a separate contract packer and back costs two freight legs and a week of stock you cannot sell; doing it where the stock already sits costs neither.

Because it has its own motorway junction. The M69 meets the town at Junction 1, with the A5 alongside and the M1 at Junction 21 nearby. That gives fast, uncongested runs to both Leicester and Coventry and quick access to Magna Park.
It's a short drive south towards Lutterworth via the A5 and local roads. Being close to the UK's largest dedicated distribution park lets Hinckley businesses tap into national 3PL capacity without paying prime-park overheads themselves.
Dodwells Bridge, Sketchley Meadows and Harrowbrook are the main ones. They house a blend of distribution operators and the town's traditional hosiery and textile firms, all within easy reach of the M69 at Junction 1.
Around 20 minutes. That keeps Hinckley firmly inside the Golden Triangle for national pallet work while offering the lower costs and easier access of a Leicestershire market town rather than a motorway hub.
Nuneaton and Coventry lie south-west down the M69 and A5, while Leicester and Lutterworth are close to the north and east. The M69 itself gives a clear freight run between the M1 and M6 in either direction.
Multipacks and banded sets, sleeving and shrink wrapping, promotional and gift packs, shelf-ready outers, relabelling and barcode correction, and rework of rejected stock. Simple repacks from £0.45 per unit, relabelling from £0.75.
Yes — send a sample first. We inspect it and tell you honestly what proportion is recoverable and the cost per unit before you commit the pallets. It almost always beats writing the stock off.
No, and that is the main saving. The work happens in the same Hinckley-serving warehouse your stock already sits in, so you avoid two freight movements and a week of transit.
A first-off sample is built and approved by you before the run starts, with a QC check per batch afterwards. Nothing runs at volume until you have seen one.
Yes — barcoded as its own SKU, counted into stock and pickable immediately, so a promotional pack can be built and despatched to a retailer in the same week.
