We specify and supply packaging for Liverpool businesses from the Midlands - About 85 miles / 1 hour 35 away, on M62, M57, M58 and A5300, with the stock already made rather than waiting on a production slot.
Foam Packaging in Liverpool: specified against the product, the carriers and the stack, then supplied from Midlands Golden Triangle stock About 85 miles / 1 hour 35 away on M62, M57, M58 and A5300. WSUK also stores, picks, packs and despatches goods, so the packaging can sit with the operation that uses it.
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.
M62, M57, M58 and A5300 is the delivery route, About 85 miles / 1 hour 35 from our Bilston, Wolverhampton operation. Because the holding is central, the same stock covers Liverpool, Birkenhead and Bootle without any of them paying for the space.
Port and container handling, pharmaceuticals, automotive and e-commerce. 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.
Liverpool sits on M62, M57, M58 and A5300, and that connectivity is what the local trade estates were built around: Seaforth dock estate, Estuary Commerce Park, Speke and Aintree. Within L1-L40 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.
Stock for Liverpool sits in the Midlands, About 85 miles / 1 hour 35 away. For consumables this is simply the sensible structure - there is no advantage in a pallet of board being nearer to you if it is nearer to you in a unit you are paying for. Centrally held and delivered on M62, M57, M58 and A5300, the same stock covers Liverpool, Birkenhead and Bootle without any of them carrying the storage.
The local economy runs on Port and container handling, pharmaceuticals, automotive and e-commerce, 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.
Grade matters as much as shape. Polyethylene is firm and resilient and suits heavy items and repeated handling; polyurethane is softer and suits light, delicate goods; anti-static grades are specified where electronics are involved and a charge travelling through the pack is itself the hazard. Specifying a single foam for everything a Liverpool site ships is how both over- and under-protection happen at once.
Foam is specified from the product, so what we need from a Liverpool business is the item itself or an accurate drawing, plus its weight and which surfaces must not be touched. Pocketed inserts are cut to a profile, and a profile taken from an approximate dimension holds the product approximately - which defeats the purpose of using foam.
A useful exercise for any Liverpool 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.

About 85 miles / 1 hour 35 from our Bilston, Wolverhampton site.
Port and container handling, pharmaceuticals, automotive and e-commerce.
Also delivered into these Merseyside areas on the same schedule:
The reason to buy centrally is lead time and price together: a full run held in the Midlands means Liverpool gets run-quantity pricing without storing a run, and a reorder is a vehicle rather than a production slot.
Liverpool 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 About 85 miles / 1 hour 35 away than from a new production run.

Foam Packaging in Liverpool at WSUK, answered plainly.
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.
Supply is in trade quantities rather than retail packs, so there is a practical minimum per line. Tell us what you get through in Liverpool 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.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Liverpool business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Liverpool is About 85 miles / 1 hour 35 from our Bilston, Wolverhampton site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
Yes - that is the main use. The cavity is profiled to the product so it is held on every axis, with lift-out detail so it still comes out easily.
Yes. Ordinary foam can itself present a static risk around electronic assemblies, so anti-static grades are specified rather than treated as an upgrade.
