For Exeter manufacturers, distributors and online retailers: packaging specified properly, bought in bulk, held in Midlands stock and delivered on a schedule you set.
As a packaging company serving Exeter, WSUK specifies packaging against the product and the journey, supplies it in bulk, and holds it centrally so EX1-EX6 businesses call it off instead of storing a full print run themselves.
Everything from the pack bench to the pallet, in commercial quantities: board, bags, tapes, fill, film and strapping. Priced against a line list, delivered into EX1-EX6, invoiced monthly.
Standard lines where they do the job, bespoke where they do not. Either way the specification is written down, so nobody in Exeter re-decides the box size every quarter.
Storage, packaging, fulfilment, pick and pack, despatch and returns from the same business. For a Exeter account that means the people specifying the box are the people packing into it.
Look at what moves through EX1-EX6 and you find the same thing as everywhere else, concentrated: outer cases bought on price, mailing bags bought on availability, and tape bought by whoever was closest when it ran out. The estates - Sowton Industrial Estate, Exeter Business Park and Skypark - are well served by M5 (J29-J31), A30, A38 and A376; the packaging buying usually is not.
Supply into Exeter runs from WSUK's Midlands operation, about 175 miles / 3 hours from our Bilston, Wolverhampton 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 Exeter calls off what it needs. Nobody has to store half a year of board to get a sensible unit price.
Local industry around Exeter is weighted towards regional distribution, agri-food, science and research, and tourism retail. We quote all of them from the same stock position but not from the same specification, because a pack that survives a pallet network is not automatically a pack that survives a parcel network.
A Exeter enquiry does not need a brief. What you pack, roughly how many, how it travels and what has been failing is enough to specify against, and if the honest answer is that your current packaging is already right, that is what you will get back.
Once a Exeter account has its specification written down, the rest follows: the reorder point is set against consumption, the carrier band is known before the pack is built, and a change to a product triggers a change to its packaging rather than being absorbed by somebody adding more tape.
The packaging account stands on its own, but it sits next to warehouse storage, order fulfilment, pick and pack and despatch if a Exeter operation ever wants those. Nothing is bundled - the point is that the option is there without changing supplier.

The argument for consolidating Exeter packaging with one supplier is mostly arithmetic: fewer orders, better quantities, one invoice, and a specification that somebody is accountable for.
We will review what a Exeter business currently buys at no cost and with no obligation. What comes back is a written specification per SKU group, a price against it, and an honest note on anything that is not worth changing.

Packaging company questions from Exeter businesses, answered plainly.
Standard packaging lines in commercial quantities, bespoke cartons and fitted protection made to the product, printed packaging and tape, and the option to hold the stock centrally and call it off into EX1-EX6.
Yes. Exeter businesses buy on a trade account with one invoice covering every line - board, bags, tape, fill, film, strapping and pallet consumables - rather than reconciling four suppliers.
Sometimes. A product that does not fit a stock box pays for the gap on every despatch, so a made-to-size carton can cost less delivered than a standard box plus fill plus a volumetric surcharge. Where that is not true, we say so.
EX1-EX6 and the wider South West and Wessex area, including Bath, Bournemouth and Southampton. Supply is UK-wide from one Midlands stock position, so coverage is not limited to the Midlands.
Yes. A review that only ever finds savings is a sales pitch. If a Exeter operation is already buying the right material in the right quantity, that is what the findings will say.
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 it off into Exeter as you need it.
