Packaging supplied into BH1-BH11 and the surrounding Dorset and the South Coast trade estates, specified to the product and delivered from our Midlands stock.
Custom Printed Tape for Bournemouth businesses is supplied from WSUK's Golden Triangle operation rather than from a local depot - which is the point, because it means run-quantity stock and no production lead time on a reorder. Bournemouth is About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 away on A338 spur, A31, A35 and M27, and BH1-BH11 addresses are served as a matter of routine.
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, About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 from Bournemouth on A338 spur, A31, A35 and M27. 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.
Aviation and aerospace, financial services, marine manufacturing and tourism retail. 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.
Bournemouth sits on A338 spur, A31, A35 and M27, and that connectivity is what the local trade estates were built around: Nuffield Industrial Estate, Poole, Mannings Heath and Ferndown Industrial Estate. Within BH1-BH11 you will find both pallet-out and parcel-out businesses, frequently on the same estate, which is a useful reminder that packaging specification follows the journey rather than the postcode.
Our supply point for Bournemouth is Lutterworth, About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 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 Bournemouth takes delivery of what it needs on A338 spur, A31, A35 and M27. You get the price of a big order and the convenience of a small one.
The local economy runs on Aviation and aerospace, financial services, marine manufacturing and tourism retail, 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 on tape wants to be read in motion, not studied. One or two colours, a short message and a repeat long enough that a strip across a carton shows the whole thing - a logo that falls half off the end of a Bournemouth despatch does the opposite of what it was bought for. Reversed-out designs cover more surface and use more ink, which changes the price.
Tape is the one printed component that works regardless of what else changes. A Bournemouth business can alter carton sizes, add a product line or move its pack bench and the printed tape still fits, because it is not tied to a format. That makes it the lowest-risk place to start branding an outer pack.
If you supply retailers from Bournemouth, 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 Tape in Bournemouth at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes - Poole, Christchurch and Ferndown are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Dorset and the South Coast area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Bournemouth business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.
Supply is in trade quantities rather than retail packs, so there is a practical minimum per line. Tell us what you get through in Bournemouth and we will tell you what shape an order should take - we would rather not sell you a pallet of something you use twice a year.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from Bournemouth 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.
One to three colours is typical and covers most brand marks. Tell us the artwork and we will confirm what reproduces cleanly at tape width.
Reinforced and gummed paper tapes are specified for carton sealing and hold properly when matched to the load. We specify the construction against the weight rather than assuming paper is a like-for-like swap.
