What We Do

Corby Packaging, Specified and Supplied

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.

  • Protective and void fill
  • Pallet-level protection

Resupplying a Corby Account

around 40 minutes by road from Lutterworth, in on A43, A6014, A6003 and A14. Reorder points are agreed against your real consumption so the materials turn up before the shelf is empty rather than after somebody notices.

  • No local storage cost to you
  • Delivered into NN17-NN18

Local Coverage

Custom Printed Packaging Across Corby and Northamptonshire

Anyone despatching from Corby is doing it onto A43, A6014, A6003 and A14. That access is why the estates at Willowbrook, Earlstrees Industrial Estate and Weldon exist, and why NN17-NN18 holds a mix of manufacturers, distributors and online sellers who all get through packaging at quite different rates. The common thread is that almost none of them specified what they are using - it accumulated.

Packaging for Corby 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 Corby 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 A43, A6014, A6003 and A14 when it is needed.

Around Corby the trade is largely Distribution, steel and metals and food processing. 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 Corby businesses now do both.

Printed packaging for a Corby business can mean several different things, and they do not cost the same. Flexographic print directly onto corrugated handles one to three colours and bold shapes economically. Litho-laminated board carries photographic quality at a higher price. Printed mailers, tissue, inner wrap, labels and tape all brand a pack without touching the carton itself.

To quote printed packaging we need the artwork, the component you want printed, the number of colours and the run quantity - and it helps to know which of those is fixed. For a Corby business whose quantity is fixed we can design the print to suit it; where the design is fixed, the quantity is what moves the price.

The question we ask a Corby 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.

Why WSUK

Custom Printed Packaging for Corby: the Case for WSUK

Corby firms tend to come to us with a damage problem or a delivered-cost problem. Both are specification problems, and both are easier to fix from held stock around 40 minutes away than from a new production run.

  • Reorders Without Lead Times Stock is already made and held in the Midlands, so a reorder is a delivery rather than a production slot.
  • Honest Downgrades If a cheaper material does the job, or a change is not worth making, we will say so.
  • Trade Quantities Supplied by the pallet, bale or box quantity rather than in the small packs a cash-and-carry sells.
  • One Account for Everything Cartons, tape, film, void fill and pallet consumables on a single account - one order, one delivery, one invoice.
  • The Rest of the Chain Too Storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns from the same operation.
  • Sample Before Production Nothing bespoke or printed goes into a production run before you have approved a physical sample with your own product in it.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom Printed Packaging in Corby at WSUK, answered plainly.

We are on one of the Corby estates. Does that make any difference?

Only to the delivery, not to the service. Willowbrook, Earlstrees Industrial Estate, Weldon and the rest of NN17-NN18 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.

Can WSUK store and despatch our goods as well as supply the packaging?

Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Corby business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.

Can you reduce what we spend on packaging in Corby?

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.

How quickly can packaging reach Corby?

The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Corby is around 40 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.

Can we have branded packaging for our own site and plain for marketplaces?

Yes, and we would recommend specifying both at once. Many marketplaces expect plain outers, so holding a branded and a plain line against the same product is normal.

Is there a minimum order quantity for printed packaging?

Yes - print has a setup element, so there is a practical minimum per design. Tell us your volumes and we will tell you what quantity makes the print worthwhile.
