We specify and supply packaging for Lichfield businesses from the Midlands - around 45 minutes away, on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9), with the stock already made rather than waiting on a production slot.
Custom Printed Packaging in Lichfield: specified against the product, the carriers and the stack, then supplied from Midlands Golden Triangle stock around 45 minutes away on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9). WSUK also stores, picks, packs and despatches goods, so the packaging can sit with the operation that uses it.
Trade quantities of the consumables, plus made-to-size cartons, fitted inserts and printed lines where the product or the brand justifies producing them.
Held at our Lutterworth site, around 45 minutes from Lichfield on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9). 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.
Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing. Whatever the sector, the three questions are the same: does the pack fit, does it protect, and what is it costing delivered rather than per box.
The road pattern around Lichfield - A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9) - is what put the industrial estates where they are. Trent Valley and Fradley Park are the names that come up most, with Britannia Enterprise Park alongside them, and the whole WS13-WS14 range is within an easy delivery radius of each other. For a packaging supplier that matters in a dull but useful way: one vehicle into Lichfield can cover a lot of accounts.
Supply into Lichfield comes out of Midlands stock around 45 minutes away. The point of central holding is lead time rather than distance: a business in Lichfield ordering a printed carton from scratch is waiting on a production slot, whereas one calling off from held stock is waiting on a vehicle. For anything with a plate, a form or a changeover behind it, that is the difference that shows up in your week.
The Lichfield economy leans on Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing. Those sectors despatch very differently from each other, which is why a single house packaging standard rarely survives contact with a mixed range. Specifying by SKU group - what it weighs, how it fails, how it travels - is slower to set up and considerably cheaper to run.
Print economics are driven by setup rather than by quantity, which catches people out. A print plate is made once per colour per design and then the run is cheap, so the cost per pack falls sharply as the run grows and rises sharply if you order short. For a Lichfield business shipping in several carton sizes, each size is a separate setup - which is why printing one component often beats printing all of them.
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 Lichfield 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.
Most Lichfield enquiries start in one of two places: something keeps arriving damaged, or the packaging bill has crept up without anybody deciding that it should. They are usually the same problem seen from different ends, because a pack that does not hold the product properly tends also to be the pack that needs the most fill.

Lichfield 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 45 minutes away than from a new production run.

Custom Printed Packaging in Lichfield at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes, and they need different specifications. Online orders are about carrier size bands and network handling; manufactured goods are about stack load, restraint and corrosion. Plenty of Lichfield businesses now do both and need both answered.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from Lichfield 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.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Lichfield is around 45 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
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.
From one colour up to full colour, depending on the material, the process and the quantity. We specify the colour count against the board rather than accepting artwork that the surface cannot reproduce.
Not always, and that is worth knowing before the run rather than after. The flute under the liner limits how fine a line or how small a typeface reproduces cleanly. We will tell you what will hold and what needs simplifying.
