Packaging delivered into London and all London postcodes from our Lutterworth operation - specified for your product, your carriers and the way your orders actually travel.
If you need custom printed packaging in London, the useful starting point is what you despatch rather than what you currently buy. WSUK specifies the materials, supplies them from Midlands stock around 90 minutes from London on M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular, and can hold the stock so a reorder is a delivery. Greater London businesses are served throughout.
A specified line list: boxes, mailers, sealing tape, protective materials, film and strapping, in trade quantities, repeating on a schedule set against what you really get through.
Stock sits centrally in the Golden Triangle rather than in a local yard, which is what makes run quantities of printed and bespoke lines affordable. London is around 90 minutes away via M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular.
E-commerce, retail distribution and last-mile are the sectors we see most around London. The common thread is packs that were specified for a product range that has since changed shape.
London's outbound goods move on M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular, and most of them originate on Thurrock, Barking or Enfield. The all London postcodes range is compact enough that a packaging delivery schedule can serve a lot of accounts efficiently, which is part of why we can supply Greater London properly from the Midlands rather than needing a yard in every town.
WSUK does not hold packaging in London, and that is deliberate rather than a limitation. Stock sits in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 90 minutes away via M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular, which is where run quantities of printed and bespoke lines can be held without any individual customer paying for the space. A reorder from London is a delivery from existing stock rather than a production lead time, and that difference matters far more day to day than how near the warehouse is.
The local economy runs on E-commerce, retail distribution and last-mile, and each of those has its own packaging failure mode. That is why we specify per SKU group rather than applying one standard across a business: a single protective specification over a mixed range is simultaneously over-specified for the robust lines and inadequate for the fragile ones, which is the most expensive configuration available.
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 London business shipping in several carton sizes, each size is a separate setup - which is why printing one component often beats printing all of them.
Printed stock is where stockholding earns its place most clearly, because print carries a setup that pushes the economic run well past what most London businesses can store. Producing the sensible quantity and holding it centrally is what makes printed packaging practical rather than an annual space problem.
A useful exercise for any London operation: count your box sizes, then count how many of them are genuinely needed. Most businesses find two or three that nearly duplicate another, each carrying its own stock, its own shelf space and its own decision at the pack bench.
M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular.
Around 90 minutes from our Lutterworth site.
E-commerce, retail distribution and last-mile.
Delivered across London and the places around it:
The reason to buy centrally is lead time and price together: a full run held in the Midlands means London gets run-quantity pricing without storing a run, and a reorder is a vehicle rather than a production slot.
London 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 90 minutes away than from a new production run.

Custom Printed Packaging in London at WSUK, answered plainly.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from London 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.
Yes - Milton Keynes, Watford and Luton are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Greater London area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
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 London businesses now do both and need both answered.
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.
Yes. A print run is usually produced in one go and used over months, which is what packaging stockholding exists for.
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.
