Packaging supplied into NN6 and the surrounding Northamptonshire trade estates, specified to the product and delivered from our Midlands stock.
Businesses across Crick and Northamptonshire use WSUK for custom printed packaging. The materials are specified to the product and the journey, held in Midlands warehousing around 8 minutes from Crick, and delivered into NN6. Nothing bespoke or printed goes into production before you have approved a sample.
Everything a despatch bench gets through in a week, on one account: board, mailers, tape, fill, film, strapping and edge protection, delivered together rather than from four suppliers.
Held at our Lutterworth site, around 8 minutes from Crick on M1 (J18), A5, A428 and M6 (J1). The stock is already made, so a reorder is a delivery rather than a production slot - which is the difference that shows up in your week.
Rail freight, national distribution and 3pl. Plenty of Crick businesses now despatch both pallets and parcels, and those need genuinely different packaging even for the same product.
Crick covers NN6, and its goods traffic runs on M1 (J18), A5, A428 and M6 (J1). The estates - Crick Industrial Estate, Northampton, DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal) - are where the pallets and parcels actually leave from. Walk round any of them and you will find the same packaging picture: more box sizes than anyone can justify, two kinds of tape doing one job, and void fill chosen because it was in the cupboard.
Our supply point for Crick is Lutterworth, around 8 minutes away. Holding packaging there rather than locally is what keeps both the unit price and the responsiveness sensible: a full run is produced and held, and Crick takes delivery of what it needs on M1 (J18), A5, A428 and M6 (J1). You get the price of a big order and the convenience of a small one.
Crick is known for Rail freight, national distribution and 3pl, and each brings its own constraint. Retail supply means working to the retailer's published case and pallet requirements. Online selling means carrier bands and returns. Manufacturing means stack load and corrosion. We would rather specify against the real constraint than sell a general-purpose answer.
The question worth asking before any printed run is which component the customer actually sees. For goods going into a retailer the outer case is handled by the depot and the shopper never sees it. For ecommerce despatched from Crick the outer is the entire brand experience. Print where it is seen, and leave the rest plain.
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 Crick 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.
If you supply retailers from Crick, the packaging constraint is external: case dimensions, counts, labelling and pallet configuration are set by the retailer rather than by you, and a case that ignores them generates handling charges rather than damage. That is worth checking before anything else.

Custom Printed Packaging in Crick at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 8 minutes from Crick by road on M1 (J18), A5, A428 and M6 (J1), and delivered into NN6 and the surrounding Northamptonshire area.
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.
No, and it is a deliberate structure rather than a gap. Packaging is held centrally in the Midlands so that run quantities of printed and bespoke lines can be stocked without any single customer paying for the space - and so a reorder from Crick is a delivery rather than a production lead time.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from Crick 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.
Corrugated cartons and postal boxes, paper and polythene mailers, carton sealing tape, tissue, inner liners and card inserts. Essentially anything in the pack can carry print; what changes is how fine that print can be.
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.
