"Sitting right on the A45 means our vehicles reach the A14 and Northampton without fuss. Wellingborough gives us proper distribution reach at a fraction of what Brackmills space would cost."
Repacking and rework for Wellingborough — rejected or mislabelled stock inspected and made sellable again rather than written off, 35 minutes from DIRFT.
WSUK does contract packing for Wellingborough 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. A45, A509, A510 and M1 (J15) on the doorstep; we also cover Rushden and Kettering.
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.

Wellingborough rides the A45 - the dualled Northamptonshire artery that runs from Northampton across to the A14 and the East Midlands freight belt beyond. The town (NN8 and NN9) also picks up the A509 north toward Kettering and the A510, with M1 Junction 15 sitting to the west for onward motorway access. It's a corridor town in the truest sense: much of its logistics character comes from simply being on the road that carries goods east out of Northampton.
Reckon on about 35 minutes to the DIRFT and Rugby core, placing Wellingborough on the eastern reach of the Golden Triangle where it starts to blend into the Northamptonshire warehousing cluster. Rushden and its Sanders Lodge estate sit just south down the A45, Kettering is up the A509, and Raunds - with the substantial Warth Park distribution centres - lies to the north-east. Locally, Park Farm Industrial Estate is the workhorse address, backed by Denington and the Finedon Road estates.
The town's economy mixes distribution, manufacturing and a notable food-and-drink presence, so the goods passing through NN8 range from ambient pallets to production inputs and finished consumer lines. That breadth suits a place positioned between Northampton's giant Brackmills operation to the west and the A14 trunk route to the east - close enough to the big distribution names to share their supply chains, far enough out to offer sensible space along the A45.
For co-packing, the saving around Wellingborough 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.

Local answers for Wellingborough, plus the questions every co-packing & repacking client asks.
The A45 is Wellingborough's backbone - a dualled route linking Northampton to the A14 and the East Midlands freight belt. Sitting directly on it means NN8 firms plug straight into that east-west flow without needing to detour to reach a major road.
M1 Junction 15 sits west of the town, reached along the A45 toward Northampton. That gives Wellingborough onward motorway access north and south, complementing the A509 and A510 that handle links up toward Kettering and the surrounding towns.
Park Farm Industrial Estate is the main local address, supported by the Denington and Finedon Road estates. For larger distribution footprints, Rushden's Sanders Lodge and Raunds' Warth Park sit within a short A45 drive to the south and north-east.
Yes - it sits on the eastern edge of the Golden Triangle where it merges into that cluster. Northampton's Brackmills lies west, Kettering north, and Raunds' Warth Park north-east, so NN8 shares supply chains with several major distribution sites.
Distribution, manufacturing and a strong food-and-drink base all feature, so goods range from ambient pallets to production inputs and finished consumer lines. That mix means storage needs in NN8 tend to be varied rather than single-sector.
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 Wellingborough-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.
