A packaging company working with Bournemouth manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors - commercial supplies, bespoke formats and printed packaging, delivered into BH1-BH11 on a trade account.
Bournemouth businesses use WSUK as their packaging supplier for one reason: the specification is written by an operator that packs and despatches goods every working day. Commercial supplies, bespoke packaging and branded print, delivered into BH1-BH11.
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 Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth.
Aviation and aerospace, financial services, marine manufacturing and tourism retail. The packaging questions are not the same across those, which is why we work per SKU group rather than quoting a catalogue at the whole range.
Packaging in Bournemouth tends to be bought locally and in small quantities, which is the most expensive way to do it. The estates around Nuffield Industrial Estate, Poole, Mannings Heath and Ferndown Industrial Estate sit on A338 spur, A31, A35 and M27, so there is no logistical reason for a Bournemouth business to be paying cash-and-carry prices for materials it gets through by the pallet.
Supply into Bournemouth runs from WSUK's Midlands operation, about 155 miles / 2 hours 45 from our Lutterworth site. Holding packaging centrally rather than regionally is what makes the commercial arithmetic work: print plates and cutting forms are spread across a full run, the run sits on racking that already exists, and Bournemouth calls off what it needs. Nobody has to store half a year of board to get a sensible unit price.
With aviation and aerospace, financial services, marine manufacturing and tourism retail prominent around Bournemouth, the packaging questions in the area are not uniform. A manufacturer worries about stack load and whether a machined surface will corrode in store; an online retailer worries about carrier size bands and whether the product moves inside the box. Both are solvable, and neither is solved by adding more cushioning.
Most Bournemouth businesses that move to us start the same way: they send a list of what they buy, we price it and mark up the lines where a different specification is cheaper delivered, and then we agree a schedule. The review costs nothing and is not conditional on placing an order.
A specification is also a protection against drift. Bournemouth operations that buy reactively end up with four box sizes doing one job and none of them right; a written line list, reviewed when products change, stops that happening again.
A Bournemouth 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.

A packaging company earns its place in Bournemouth by removing decisions, not by adding product lines. Here is what that looks like in practice.
The useful question is rarely 'can this be cheaper'. It is 'where is the money actually going' - and in most Bournemouth operations the answer is warehouse space, carrier bands and damage rather than the price of a box. The review measures all of it.
No brief needed - four steps is the whole process.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Bournemouth.
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 BH1-BH11, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Packaging company questions from Bournemouth businesses, answered plainly.
Both, and that is the point. WSUK supplies packaging to Bournemouth businesses as a service in its own right, and also runs warehouse storage, fulfilment, pick and pack and despatch. The packaging specification is written by people who pack goods every working day.
No minimum commitment and no setup fee. Practically, the economics favour ordering in the quantities a working operation gets through, which is why most Bournemouth accounts settle into a standing schedule.
Yes - corrugated cartons made to internal dimensions, fitted inserts, cut and profiled foam, and formats designed around an awkward product. You see a physical sample before any production run.
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.
Yes, and that is the best place to start. Send the line list and we will price it, propose a specification against it and set out the delivered-cost difference. We will not quote a saving percentage before we have looked.
Yes - that is pick and pack, and it is a separate service. The advantage for a Bournemouth account is that the people packing the orders are the people who wrote the packaging specification.
