The Lutterworth trade estates get through a lot of board. We specify what yours should be, then supply it from Midlands stock on M1 (J20), A426, A5 and M6 (J1).
Packaging Review for Lutterworth is supplied out of the Golden Triangle on M1 (J20), A426, A5 and M6 (J1) - around 15 minutes from the city - so run-quantity stock is already made when you call it off. Specification comes first; Leicestershire firms in National distribution, 3pl and warehousing are the ones that tend to need it most.
Standard lines where they do the job and bespoke or printed lines where they earn it. Either way the specification is written down, so nobody re-decides the box size every quarter.
around 15 minutes by road from Lutterworth, in on M1 (J20), A426, A5 and M6 (J1). Reorder points are agreed against your real consumption so the materials turn up before the shelf is empty rather than after somebody notices.
National distribution, 3pl and warehousing. The requirement ranges from a few pallets a week to several hundred parcels a day, which is a wide spread of need inside one postcode area.
The estates around Lutterworth - Magna Park (the UK's largest dedicated distribution park), Mere Lane, Market Harborough - developed around access to M1 (J20), A426, A5 and M6 (J1), and the LE17 postcodes still reflect that. What has changed is the order profile. Far more of Lutterworth's outbound volume now leaves as single parcels rather than pallets, and the packaging most businesses hold was specified for the old shape of that traffic.
From our Lutterworth site it is around 15 minutes to Lutterworth on M1 (J20), A426, A5 and M6 (J1). That is the whole supply chain for packaging into Leicestershire, and its chief virtue is that the stock is already made. When a line runs low in Lutterworth, 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.
With National distribution, 3pl and warehousing prominent around Lutterworth, the packaging questions in the area are not uniform. A manufacturer worries about stack load and whether a machined surface will corrode in storage; an online retailer worries about carrier size bands and whether the product moves inside the box. Both are solvable and neither is solved by buying more cushioning.
The review we run for Lutterworth 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.
Every lever in a review moves cost somewhere else, which is why single-issue savings are usually illusory. A cheaper board raises damage. A smaller box raises the need for protection. Fewer sizes speed the bench and ship more air. The only reduction worth reporting to a Lutterworth business is one that survives being added up across all six areas.
If you are in Lutterworth and not sure where to start, the first things worth looking at are the box sizes against your real product dimensions, and whether your packs sit just above a carrier size band. Those two checks need a tape measure and your carrier's published thresholds, and between them they account for a surprising proportion of avoidable packaging cost.

Packaging Review in Lutterworth at WSUK, answered plainly.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from Lutterworth 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.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Lutterworth is around 15 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 - distance is not the constraint, evidence is. Send us damaged returns or photographs of how items arrive and we can specify against the actual cause rather than adding protection and hoping.
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.
We do not know yet, and nor does anyone else who has not looked at your operation. Any figure quoted before the audit is a sales number. The review tells you where the opportunities are and what each is worth; you decide which to act on.
