A commercial packaging supplier for Rushden - specification first, bulk pricing second, and a delivery schedule that matches how fast you actually use the stuff.
WSUK is a UK packaging company with stock around 35 minutes from our Lutterworth site of Rushden. B2B customers - manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, distributors - get specified line lists, trade-quantity pricing, bespoke and printed options, and scheduled delivery into NN10.
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.
Storage, packaging, fulfilment, pick and pack, despatch and returns from the same business. For a Rushden account that means the people specifying the box are the people packing into it.
Rushden is not short of businesses that despatch goods. Sanders Lodge Industrial Estate, Rushden Lakes and Wellingborough Road between them cover manufacturing, distribution and a growing amount of direct-to-consumer work, all served by A45, A6 and A14. The packaging those operations hold has usually accumulated rather than been chosen, which is the problem a packaging company is there to fix.
Our holding is in the Midlands Golden Triangle rather than in Rushden itself, around 35 minutes from our Lutterworth site. That is the arrangement that turns a printed-packaging order from a storage problem into a delivery schedule, and it is available to any Rushden account that wants it.
The mix around Rushden runs to distribution, retail and footwear heritage. What those have in common is that the true cost of their packaging is never the price of the box - it is the space it occupies, the time it takes to pack, the band the carrier prices it in, and what gets damaged. A packaging company that only quotes unit price is answering the wrong question.
A Rushden 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 Rushden 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.
Packaging is also where WSUK's other services join up. The same Rushden account can hold stock with us, have orders picked, packed and despatched from our benches, and never take the packaging onto its own premises at all. That is a choice, not a condition - plenty of Rushden accounts buy packaging and nothing else.

The Rushden estates and nearby places we supply alongside the town itself:
Six things make the difference for a Rushden trade account, and only one of them is the unit price.
A packaging review is not a sales visit. It looks at materials, box sizes, warehouse space, carriage bands, pack time, damage and waste across your Rushden operation together, and reports what it finds - including the lines that are already specified correctly.
Specification first, commercial terms second.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Rushden.
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 NN10, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Packaging company questions from Rushden 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 NN10.
Yes, and most Rushden accounts do. Agreed lines, agreed quantities and an agreed delivery frequency, with the reorder point set against your consumption rather than against somebody noticing the shelf is empty.
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.
NN10 and the wider Midlands Golden Triangle area, including Daventry, Crick and Rugby. 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 Rushden 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 Rushden as you need it.
