A commercial packaging supplier for Raunds - specification first, bulk pricing second, and a delivery schedule that matches how fast you actually use the stuff.
Packaging supply for Raunds runs from WSUK's Midlands operation, around 40 minutes from our Lutterworth site. What a business gets is a written specification per SKU group, bulk pricing against it, and a reorder point set on consumption rather than on somebody noticing the shelf is bare.
Cartons, mailers, tape, void fill, film, strapping and pallet consumables, bought by the pallet or box quantity rather than in the small packs a cash-and-carry sells. One account, one invoice, one delivery schedule.
Where a standard box is costing more in fill, carriage and damage than a bespoke one would cost outright, we say so - and make it to size. Print goes on at the same time, so the outer earns its keep.
Run-quantity pricing without run-quantity storage. The print run is produced once, held on racking that already exists around 40 minutes from our Lutterworth site, and drawn into Raunds as you need it.
The trade estates serving Raunds - Higham Ferrers, Warth Park (Howdens, Primark DC) and Kimbolton Road - are built for distribution, with A45, A14 and A6 on the doorstep. What they are not built for is storing six months of printed board, which is why so many NN9 businesses order short, uneconomic runs and pay for the privilege on every reorder.
Supply into Raunds runs from WSUK's Midlands operation, around 40 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 Raunds calls off what it needs. Nobody has to store half a year of board to get a sensible unit price.
Local industry around Raunds is weighted towards national distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and joinery. 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.
The quickest way to get a useful answer for a Raunds operation is to send what you already buy. A line list is ideal; photographs of a packed order and of anything that has arrived broken are nearly as good. We would rather specify against real despatches than against a description of them.
Once a Raunds 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.
Some Raunds accounts take delivery of everything; some have us hold the printed lines and deliver the rest; some use our warehouse and pack benches and never see the packaging at all. All three are standard arrangements, and you can move between them without renegotiating anything.

Packaging company questions from Raunds businesses, answered plainly.
A supplier. WSUK provides the materials and the specification; if a Raunds business also wants the packing done, that is our fulfilment and pick and pack service and it is bought separately.
Trade quantities - by the pallet, bale or box quantity rather than the small packs a cash-and-carry sells. There is no minimum commitment on a Raunds account, but the pricing works properly at commercial volumes.
Yes, and that is easier when we hold the stock. A Raunds account that calls off from a central holding can change board grade, size or print at the next run without writing off a warehouse full of the old version.
Yes - Daventry, Crick and Rugby are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Midlands Golden Triangle area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
Six places at once: materials, the warehouse space the packaging occupies, carriage, pack labour, damage and waste. In most Raunds operations the price of the box is the smallest of them, which is why a review looks at all six.
It stays yours. Held in Midlands warehousing against your account, called off into Raunds on request, and visible as a stock position rather than disappearing into a general pool.
