Custom Printed Tape for businesses across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire - specified against what you actually despatch, then delivered on a schedule that does not run you dry.
WSUK provides custom printed tape across Nottingham, Derby and Leicester. Materials are specified to your product, held at our Lutterworth site around 50 minutes from Nottingham, and delivered into NG1-NG17 on a schedule agreed against your real consumption. Bespoke and printed lines are sampled before any production run.
The materials, specified against your SKUs - including the recommendation to drop the sizes that nearly fit and the second tape that is doing the first tape's job.
around 50 minutes by road from Lutterworth, in on M1 (J24–J26), A52, A60, A453 and A46. Reorder points are agreed against your real consumption so the materials turn up before the shelf is empty rather than after somebody notices.
E-commerce (boots), manufacturing and distribution. Each fails differently, so each needs its own specification - which is why we work per SKU group rather than applying one house standard across a mixed range.
Industrial Nottingham is organised around M1 (J24–J26), A52, A60, A453 and A46. Colwick and Beeston take a large share of the town's outbound volume, with Bilborough and the smaller units across NG1-NG17 making up the rest. The businesses there range from single-shift operations despatching a few pallets a week to ecommerce sellers putting out several hundred parcels a day - which is a very wide range of packaging requirement in a small area.
Nottingham is served from Midlands stock around 50 minutes up the road. It is worth being plain about why: a local packaging store would either be too small to hold run quantities or too expensive to justify. Central holding solves both, and M1 (J24–J26), A52, A60, A453 and A46 makes the delivery leg short and predictable.
The sectors concentrated around Nottingham - E-commerce (boots), manufacturing and distribution - produce a wide spread of packaging requirement within a small geography. What they have in common is that very few of them have measured their packs against their carriers' size and weight bands, which is usually the cheapest correction available anywhere in a packaging spend.
Tape is also a sealing specification, not only a branding one, and the two decisions interact. A heavy case block-stacked on a pallet out of NG1-NG17 needs an adhesive and a backing that will hold through a warm warehouse and a cold trailer; a light parcel needs neither. Printed tape ordered purely on appearance is how cartons arrive open.
Tape is the one printed component that works regardless of what else changes. A Nottingham 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 are in Nottingham and not sure where to start, the first things worth looking at are the box sizes against your real product dimensions, and whether your packs sit just above a carrier size band. Those two checks need a tape measure and your carrier's published thresholds, and between them they account for a surprising proportion of avoidable packaging cost.

Estates, districts and neighbouring towns covered by the same Nottingham delivery pattern:
Nottingham benefits from the same thing every WSUK packaging account does: materials specified to the journey as well as the product, held centrally, and delivered before the shelf is empty rather than after.
For Nottingham the practical advantages are consolidation, specification and continuity - one account instead of four, materials chosen against the product, and a reorder point set against what you actually use.
Specification first, then a quote against it.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Nottingham.
Materials and sizes chosen for the product and the journey.
Priced against the specification, with a physical sample on anything bespoke or printed.
Delivered into NG1-NG17, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Custom Printed Tape in Nottingham at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes, and for printed or bespoke lines it is usually the sensible arrangement. You buy the economic run quantity, we hold it in Midlands warehousing, and you call off into Nottingham as you need it.
Only to the delivery, not to the service. Colwick, Bilborough, Beeston and the rest of NG1-NG17 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.
Yes. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 50 minutes from Nottingham by road on M1 (J24–J26), A52, A60, A453 and A46, and delivered into NG1-NG17 and the surrounding Nottinghamshire area.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Nottingham is around 50 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
Yes - see packaging stockholding. A tape run is a compact thing to hold, so call-off works well.
It will if it is specified for it. Width, core diameter and roll length all have to match the machine - tell us the make and model and we will specify rolls that run.
