Packaging Review for businesses across London and Greater London - specified against what you actually despatch, then delivered on a schedule that does not run you dry.
WSUK provides packaging review across London, Luton and Milton Keynes. Materials are specified to your product, held at our Lutterworth site around 90 minutes from London, and delivered into all London postcodes on a schedule agreed against your real consumption. Bespoke and printed lines are sampled before any production run.
The materials, specified against your SKUs - including the recommendation to drop the sizes that nearly fit and the second tape that is doing the first tape's job.
around 90 minutes by road from Lutterworth, in on M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular. Reorder points are agreed against your real consumption so the materials turn up before the shelf is empty rather than after somebody notices.
E-commerce, retail distribution and last-mile. Manufactured goods are usually a load and corrosion problem; online and retail stock is usually a movement and carrier-band problem. Both are specification work.
If you draw a map of London's industrial land it follows M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular closely, which is why Enfield, Thurrock and Barking ended up where they did. all London postcodes covers it all. The businesses despatching from there have the same three packaging questions as everyone else - does it fit, does it protect, and what is it costing delivered - and very few have answers.
From our Lutterworth site it is around 90 minutes to London on M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular. That is the whole supply chain for packaging into Greater London, and its chief virtue is that the stock is already made. When a line runs low in London, the question is when a vehicle is coming rather than when a machine is free - which is the difference between a replenishment and a stopped pack bench.
London's trade mix - E-commerce, retail distribution and last-mile - shapes what packaging the area gets through. Different sectors fail differently: manufactured and engineered goods are usually a load and corrosion problem, retail and online stock is usually a movement and carrier-band problem, and food and consumer goods sit somewhere between the two. Specifying from the sector rather than from a catalogue is most of the work.
The review we run for London firms is an audit rather than a sales presentation with an audit on the front. We measure box sizes against real product dimensions, look at how a pack is built at the bench, examine the damage picture by cause, and then write the findings down - including the opportunities that are not worth pursuing.
A review needs evidence rather than opinions, so what we ask a London business for is the material list with annual usage, a sample of carrier invoices, the damage and returns figures, and a look at the pack bench. The invoices are the part most often left out and they are frequently where the clearest finding sits.
Plenty of London businesses are paying for storage of their own packaging without thinking of it that way. Board is bulky and low in value per cubic metre, so a corner of a unit given over to it is usually the most expensive square metre in the building.

London 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 90 minutes away than from a new production run.
The Golden Triangle base around 90 minutes from London is where the national road network converges, which is what makes UK-wide packaging supply from one stock holding practical rather than aspirational.

Packaging Review in London at WSUK, answered plainly.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. London is around 90 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
That is what a packaging review is for, and we will not quote you a percentage before looking. It examines materials, storage, transport, labour, damage and waste together and sets the findings out in writing.
Yes. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 90 minutes from London by road on M25, M1, M40, M11 and A406 North Circular, and delivered into all London postcodes and the surrounding Greater London area.
Yes - Luton, Milton Keynes and Watford are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Greater London area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
No. The findings are yours. If you want us to implement them we will quote for that, and if you would rather take them elsewhere the review still stands.
Yes - waste volume, disposal cost, what the receiving end has to deal with, and recyclability of the materials you are using. See sustainable packaging.
