The Birmingham packaging company that also runs the warehouse. Supplies, bespoke cartons, branded print and call-off stockholding, all on one commercial account.
WSUK supplies commercial packaging into B1-B48 and the wider Birmingham area: cartons, mailers, protective materials, pallet consumables, bespoke formats and branded print. Stock is held in the Midlands, around 35 minutes from our Lutterworth site, and called off as you need it.
Send what you buy now and we will price it line for line, flag where a different specification does the same job for less, and set the quantities so Birmingham stops paying retail for trade materials.
Corrugated cartons made to internal dimensions, fitted inserts, cut foam, and branded print on boxes, mailers and tape. Produced once at a run quantity, held by us, and called off into Birmingham.
WSUK stores goods, picks, packs and despatches for a living. Packaging can arrive at your Birmingham premises or sit at our pack benches with the stock it is used on - the same account either way.
Birmingham businesses despatching into the parcel network and onto pallets both start from the same place: B1-B48 premises, M6 (J6 Spaghetti Junction), M5, M42, M40 and A38(M) Aston Expressway, and a packaging store that grew by accretion. Witton, Erdington Industrial Park and Aston all have operations where nobody can say exactly which SKU goes in which box, because it was never written down.
The delivery route is straightforward - our stock is around 35 minutes from our Lutterworth site, and M6 (J6 Spaghetti Junction), M5, M42, M40 and A38(M) Aston Expressway carry it into B1-B48. The point of buying this way is not the distance, it is the quantity: a business in Birmingham gets run-quantity pricing on printed and bespoke lines without having to find the floor space a run needs.
Because manufacturing, automotive, wholesale and e-commerce are well represented in Birmingham, the same supplier ends up quoting heavy-duty industrial cases one week and letterbox-fit mailers the next. That is fine, provided each is specified against its own journey rather than against a house standard that suits neither.
A new Birmingham account usually starts with a line list rather than a purchase order. We price what you buy now, compare it with what we would specify, and set out the difference across materials, carriage, pack time and damage - not only the unit price, because moving cost out of one of those often moves it into another.
Writing the specification down is the single change that does most for a Birmingham operation. Once each SKU group has an agreed box, an agreed protection standard and an agreed fill, packs become consistent, damage becomes measurable, and nobody at the bench has to make a judgement call on every order.
A Birmingham account can start with supply only and add stockholding later, or go straight to having us hold and use the packaging as part of a fulfilment operation. What does not change is who specified the pack, which is why the two work well together.

The Birmingham estates and nearby places we supply alongside the town itself:
Birmingham accounts tend to stay for the same reasons they joined: the specification is written down, the quantities are commercial, and nobody is selling them protection they do not need.
Most Birmingham businesses have never had their packaging priced against an alternative specification. The review does exactly that: your current line list, our proposed one, and the delivered-cost difference set out so you can see where it comes from.
From first email to a specified, priced line list.

Materials and sizes chosen for the product and the journey.

Delivered into B1-B48, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Packaging company questions from Birmingham businesses, answered plainly.
Commercial customers only. Birmingham manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, distributors and online sellers buy on a trade account, in trade quantities, against a written specification.
No. A Birmingham packaging account has no minimum term and no minimum commitment. Scheduled supply is an arrangement for your convenience, not a tie-in.
Lead time depends on the format and the print process, and we quote it with the price rather than after. For Birmingham accounts that reorder printed lines regularly, holding the run with us removes the lead time from the reorder entirely.
Yes. Multi-site delivery against one account and one specification is common - the specification stays the same wherever it is used, which is usually the reason businesses consolidate in the first place.
It depends on the specification, the quantities and whether anything is bespoke or printed. Tell us what you pack and we will specify and quote it rather than publish a figure that would not apply to you.
No. Packaging is a service in its own right for Birmingham businesses. It happens to work well alongside storage and fulfilment, because then the packaging sits where it is used, but nothing is bundled.
