Packaging supplied into BN1-BN3 and the surrounding Sussex and the South Coast trade estates, specified to the product and delivered from our Midlands stock.
WSUK supplies packaging materials into Brighton and the Sussex and the South Coast trade estates - Victoria Business Park, Burgess Hill, Moulsecoomb and Newhaven port estate among them. Stock sits in the Golden Triangle, About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 away via A23, M23, A27 and A259. We specify first, quote against the specification, and supply on repeat rather than on request.
Trade quantities of the consumables, plus made-to-size cartons, fitted inserts and printed lines where the product or the brand justifies producing them.
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. Brighton is About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 away via A23, M23, A27 and A259.
Digital and creative, tourism and hospitality, retail and e-commerce. 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.
Goods leave Brighton on A23, M23, A27 and A259. The estates at Victoria Business Park, Burgess Hill, Moulsecoomb and Newhaven port estate carry most of that traffic, and the BN1-BN3 area around them holds everything from light manufacturing to pure fulfilment operations. Packaging in Brighton is rarely a supply problem - materials are available. It is a specification problem, which is a different thing and costs more.
Our supply point for Brighton is Lutterworth, About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 away. Holding packaging there rather than locally is what keeps both the unit price and the responsiveness sensible: a full run is produced and held, and Brighton takes delivery of what it needs on A23, M23, A27 and A259. You get the price of a big order and the convenience of a small one.
Digital and creative, tourism and hospitality, retail and e-commerce dominate the Brighton area, and with them come the two most common local packaging problems. The first is a box ladder that grew rather than being designed, so there are nine sizes and each order needs a decision. The second is protection chosen by the person packing rather than by specification, which makes damage rates unpredictable.
Board grade is where material specifications quietly fail. Single wall is adequate for most parcel work and is cheaper, lighter and easier to store; double wall earns its place when a pallet is stacked, a journey is long or a product is heavy. Specifying double wall throughout is a common and expensive habit, and so is specifying single wall for goods that are then block-stacked.
Materials are the layer the rest of the operation consumes. WSUK picks, packs and despatches orders every working day, so the lines specified here are the ones that survive a bench under time pressure - which is a different test from how a material performs in a catalogue photograph or a one-off trial in Brighton.
If damage is the issue in Brighton, the most useful thing you can send us is the damaged items themselves, or photographs of how they arrive. The pattern of the damage tells us whether the cause is movement, compression, impact or abrasion - and those need four different answers.

Delivered across Brighton and the places around it:
For Brighton the practical advantages are consolidation, specification and continuity - one account instead of four, materials chosen against the product, and a reorder point set against what you actually use.
What Brighton gets is a packaging supplier that also packs orders for a living, so the specification is written from the pack bench outward rather than from a catalogue inward.
Specification first, then a quote against it.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Brighton.
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 BN1-BN3, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Packaging Materials in Brighton at WSUK, answered plainly.
No, and it is a deliberate structure rather than a gap. Packaging is held centrally in the Midlands so that run quantities of printed and bespoke lines can be stocked without any single customer paying for the space - and so a reorder from Brighton is a delivery rather than a production lead time.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from Brighton 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.
Only to the delivery, not to the service. Victoria Business Park, Burgess Hill, Moulsecoomb, Newhaven port estate and the rest of BN1-BN3 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.
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 off into Brighton as you need it.
Corrugated board and paper-based materials generally are, and a pack made entirely from them goes into kerbside collection without separation. Films and foams depend on grade and local facilities. The practical test is whether the person receiving it has to separate anything.
Polyethylene is resilient and suited to heavier items and repeated handling; polyurethane is softer and better for light or delicate goods and finished surfaces; anti-static grades are required around electronics. Density matters more than thickness - see foam packaging.
