What We Do

What Luton Trade Accounts Get

Your Packaging Line List, Priced

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 Luton stops paying retail for trade materials.

  • Specified against your SKUs
  • Trade quantities
  • One account, one invoice

Design, Manufacture and Print

Bespoke packaging designed around the product, manufactured to the specification, and printed where branding earns its place. Luton accounts get the sample first, every time.

  • Made-to-size cartons
  • Branded print
  • Sample before production

Industries We Supply Around Luton

Aviation, automotive and van production, logistics and electronics. 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.

  • Central holding, run quantities
  • No local storage cost to you
  • Delivered into LU1-LU4
Local Coverage

The Luton Picture

Look at what moves through LU1-LU4 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 - Dallow Road, Sundon Park and Luton Airport - are well served by M1 (J10-J11), A505, A6 and A1081; the packaging buying usually is not.

We hold stock in the Midlands rather than in Luton, which sounds like a disadvantage and is not. It means a Luton 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.

Because aviation, automotive and van production, logistics and electronics are well represented in Luton, 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.

Most Luton 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.

The part Luton 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.

If it suits, packaging can sit with the operation that uses it. WSUK runs warehouse storage, fulfilment, pick and pack and parcel despatch, so a Luton business can keep packaging on site, or have it held and used here, or split the two. Buying packaging alone is entirely normal.

Why WSUK

Why Luton Trade Accounts Stay With Us

Luton 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.

  • Specified, Not GuessedMaterials chosen against the product, the journey and the stack rather than from a catalogue page or from what was ordered last time.
  • Packaging From People Who PackWSUK picks, packs and despatches every working day, so the specification comes from a bench rather than from a brochure.
  • Run-Quantity Pricing Without the StoragePrinted and bespoke lines produced in an economic run, held in Midlands warehousing, and called off into Luton as you need them.
  • Delivered Cost, Not Unit PriceMaterial, void fill, pack time, carrier band and damage looked at together, because taking cost out of one of them usually puts it into another.
  • Stock You Can Call OffHold nothing, hold some of it, or hold all of it. The Luton account decides, and can change its mind without renegotiating the price.
  • Carrier Bands MeasuredPacks measured against the size and weight thresholds your carriers actually price on, which is frequently the cheapest correction available to a Luton despatch operation.

Send Us What Luton Buys Now

The useful question is rarely 'can this be cheaper'. It is 'where is the money actually going' - and in most Luton operations the answer is warehouse space, carrier bands and damage rather than the price of a box. The review measures all of it.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Packaging company questions from Luton businesses, answered plainly.

Why use a packaging company rather than buying locally in Luton?

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.

Is there a contract?

No. A Luton packaging account has no minimum term and no minimum commitment. Scheduled supply is an arrangement for your convenience, not a tie-in.

Can you make bespoke packaging for our Luton products?

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.

How does packaging get to Luton?

From our Midlands stock, about 65 miles / 1 hour 15 from our Lutterworth site, on M1 (J10-J11), A505, A6 and A1081. Deliveries run into LU1-LU4 on an agreed schedule rather than as separate carriage-paid orders.

Is the packaging review chargeable?

No. Reviewing what a Luton business currently buys costs nothing and carries no obligation, and you keep the written findings whether or not anything is ordered.

Can you pack our orders as well as supply the packaging?

Yes - that is pick and pack, and it is a separate service. The advantage for a Luton account is that the people packing the orders are the people who wrote the packaging specification.
