A packaging company working with Lichfield manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors - commercial supplies, bespoke formats and printed packaging, delivered into WS13-WS14 on a trade account.
As a packaging company serving Lichfield, WSUK specifies packaging against the product and the journey, supplies it in bulk, and holds it centrally so WS13-WS14 businesses call it off instead of storing a full print run themselves.
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 Lichfield 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 Lichfield.
Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing. 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 Lichfield tends to be bought locally and in small quantities, which is the most expensive way to do it. The estates around Fradley Park, Britannia Enterprise Park and Trent Valley sit on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9), so there is no logistical reason for a Lichfield business to be paying cash-and-carry prices for materials it gets through by the pallet.
We hold stock in the Midlands rather than in Lichfield, which sounds like a disadvantage and is not. It means a Lichfield account can commit to an economic run of printed cartons, have it produced once, and take delivery of a pallet at a time. The alternative - repeated short runs - costs more every single time.
Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing are the sectors we supply most around Lichfield, and they pull in opposite directions. Industrial work wants compression strength and corrosion control; e-commerce and retail work wants dimensional discipline and presentation. Running both on one trade account is normal - running both on one specification is not.
A new Lichfield 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.
A specification is also a protection against drift. Lichfield 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.
Because WSUK also provides storage and fulfilment, a Lichfield business can decide where the packaging physically lives. On your site, on ours, or both. The specification and the pricing do not change with that decision.

What a Lichfield business is really buying is not board - it is a specification, a price that holds, and a delivery schedule. The materials are the easy part.
Send us what you buy now - a line list, an invoice, or just photographs of the packaging store. We will price it line for line, mark the places where a different specification does the same job for less, and tell you plainly where it does not. No percentage is quoted before we have looked.
Specification first, commercial terms second.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Lichfield.

Delivered into WS13-WS14, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Packaging company questions from Lichfield businesses, answered plainly.
Quantity and specification. Buying locally in small packs costs more per unit and leaves nobody accountable for whether the packaging is right. A trade account fixes the first and a written specification fixes the second.
No. A Lichfield 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 Lichfield 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.
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 Lichfield account is that the people packing the orders are the people who wrote the packaging specification.
