The London packaging company that also runs the warehouse. Supplies, bespoke cartons, branded print and call-off stockholding, all on one commercial account.
London 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 every London postcode.
Trade-quantity packaging for London manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors - specified against your SKUs, priced against the full line list, and delivered into every London postcode.
A product that does not fit a stock box pays for the gap on every despatch. Made-to-size cartons and fitted protection remove that, and branded print turns the outer into the one piece of brand every customer handles.
Hold your own stock or let us hold it. For printed and bespoke lines the second is usually the sensible arrangement: London buys the economic run quantity and never finds a pallet of board in the way.
Look at what moves through London 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 - Barking, Enfield and Thurrock - are well served by M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular; the packaging buying usually is not.
Supply into London runs from WSUK's Midlands operation, around 90 minutes 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 London calls off what it needs. Nobody has to store half a year of board to get a sensible unit price.
E-commerce, retail distribution and last-mile are the sectors we supply most around London, 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 London 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.
The part London businesses notice first is not the price, it is that the packs stop varying. A written specification per SKU group takes the decision away from whoever is on the bench that afternoon, and that alone usually moves the damage rate.
A London 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 London estates and nearby places we supply alongside the town itself:
What a London 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.
The useful question is rarely 'can this be cheaper'. It is 'where is the money actually going' - and in most London 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 London.
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 every London postcode, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Packaging company questions from London businesses, answered plainly.
Commercial customers only. London manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, distributors and online sellers buy on a trade account, in trade quantities, against a written specification.
Yes. Bulk supply is the normal arrangement: pallet quantities of cartons, bales of mailers, cases of tape and film, delivered into every London postcode on a schedule rather than as separate orders.
Lead time depends on the format and the print process, and we quote it with the price rather than after. For London accounts that reorder printed lines regularly, holding the run with us removes the lead time from the reorder entirely.
Our operation is in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 90 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Holding stock centrally rather than regionally is deliberate - it is what lets a London account have run-quantity pricing without run-quantity storage.
No. Reviewing what a London business currently buys costs nothing and carries no obligation, and you keep the written findings whether or not anything is ordered.
Yes - that is pick and pack, and it is a separate service. The advantage for a London account is that the people packing the orders are the people who wrote the packaging specification.
Packaging Company is the overview. Each of the services below has its own page for London.
We supply packaging to businesses throughout the UK from Midlands stock. These are the nearest locations with a page of their own – the full list is on the packaging company page.
Fifty-nine pages: 58 product ranges across six material families, each with its specification table, plus the postal, retail, industrial, bespoke and sustainable sections and how an enquiry is specified and quoted.
Send the product dimensions, how it travels and roughly what volumes you get through in London. That is enough for us to specify it, price it and set a delivery schedule against it.
