Packaging delivered into Tamworth and B77-B79 from our Lutterworth operation - specified for your product, your carriers and the way your orders actually travel.
If you need packaging for fulfilment in Tamworth, the useful starting point is what you despatch rather than what you currently buy. WSUK specifies the materials, supplies them from Midlands stock around 40 minutes from Tamworth on M42 (J10), A5, A38 and M6 Toll (T3), and can hold the stock so a reorder is a delivery. Staffordshire businesses are served throughout.
A specified line list: boxes, mailers, sealing tape, protective materials, film and strapping, in trade quantities, repeating on a schedule set against what you really get through.
Stock sits centrally in the Golden Triangle rather than in a local yard, which is what makes run quantities of printed and bespoke lines affordable. Tamworth is around 40 minutes away via M42 (J10), A5, A38 and M6 Toll (T3).
National distribution, logistics and manufacturing. Whatever the sector, the three questions are the same: does the pack fit, does it protect, and what is it costing delivered rather than per box.
Tamworth covers B77-B79, and its goods traffic runs on M42 (J10), A5, A38 and M6 Toll (T3). The estates - Tame Valley Industrial Estate, Amington, Relay Park - are where the pallets and parcels actually leave from. Walk round any of them and you will find the same packaging picture: more box sizes than anyone can justify, two kinds of tape doing one job, and void fill chosen because it was in the cupboard.
Supply into Tamworth comes out of Midlands stock around 40 minutes away. The point of central holding is lead time rather than distance: a business in Tamworth ordering a printed carton from scratch is waiting on a production slot, whereas one calling off from held stock is waiting on a vehicle. For anything with a plate, a form or a changeover behind it, that is the difference that shows up in your week.
Tamworth's profile in National distribution, logistics and manufacturing means the practical packaging conversation here is usually about damage and about delivered cost rather than about unit price. A business losing product in transit is paying for the goods, both carriage legs, the replacement and often the customer, so protective specification tends to be the first thing worth fixing.
Pack bench presentation decides throughput more than material choice does. Where the cartons sit, whether the tape is to hand, whether the void fill is at the right height and how many components a packer has to reach for are seconds multiplied by every order a Tamworth operation despatches. Removing one component from a pack sequence is often worth more than any unit price negotiation.
Ladder depth is the central trade-off and it is usually got wrong in the generous direction. Each extra size fits orders more closely and cuts carriage, and also adds a pick face, stock, and a decision the packer has to make correctly under pressure. A Tamworth operation running too deep a ladder loses at the bench what it gained on carriage.
If you supply retailers from Tamworth, the packaging constraint is external: case dimensions, counts, labelling and pallet configuration are set by the retailer rather than by you, and a case that ignores them generates handling charges rather than damage. That is worth checking before anything else.

Around 40 minutes from our Lutterworth site.
National distribution, logistics and manufacturing.
Also delivered into these Staffordshire areas on the same schedule:
The reason to buy centrally is lead time and price together: a full run held in the Midlands means Tamworth gets run-quantity pricing without storing a run, and a reorder is a vehicle rather than a production slot.
Tamworth firms tend to come to us with a damage problem or a delivered-cost problem. Both are specification problems, and both are easier to fix from held stock around 40 minutes away than from a new production run.

Packaging for Fulfilment in Tamworth at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes, and they need different specifications. Online orders are about carrier size bands and network handling; manufactured goods are about stack load, restraint and corrosion. Plenty of Tamworth businesses now do both and need both answered.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from Tamworth and what is going wrong now, and specifying it is our job. If you already have a line list, send it and we will tell you what we would change.
Yes. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 40 minutes from Tamworth by road on M42 (J10), A5, A38 and M6 Toll (T3), and delivered into B77-B79 and the surrounding Staffordshire area.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Tamworth business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.
Yes. The specification is a document and a supply arrangement, so it can be handed to whoever packs your orders - the standard travels with the stock.
Peak is a packaging planning problem as much as a labour one. Reorder points and holding quantities get reset for the peak profile rather than left on the normal run rate.
