Packaging Review for businesses across Solihull and the West Midlands - specified against what you actually despatch, then delivered on a schedule that does not run you dry.
WSUK provides packaging review across Solihull, Coventry and Warwick. Materials are specified to your product, held at our Lutterworth site around 30 minutes from Solihull, and delivered into B90-B93 on a schedule agreed against your real consumption. Bespoke and printed lines are sampled before any production run.
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.
One-off runs and standing call-off schedules both work into B90-B93. The run is produced once, held around 30 minutes from Solihull, and drawn down as you need it.
Automotive (jlr), aerospace and business services. 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 Solihull's industrial land it follows M42 (J4–J6), M40, A45 and A34 closely, which is why JLR Lode Lane, Birmingham Business Park and Cranmore ended up where they did. B90-B93 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.
Solihull is served from Midlands stock around 30 minutes up the road. It is worth being plain about why: a local packaging store would either be too small to hold run quantities or too expensive to justify. Central holding solves both, and M42 (J4–J6), M40, A45 and A34 makes the delivery leg short and predictable.
Solihull's trade mix - Automotive (jlr), aerospace and business services - 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 Solihull 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 Solihull 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 Solihull 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.

Around 30 minutes from our Lutterworth site.

Estates, districts and neighbouring towns covered by the same Solihull delivery pattern:
Solihull businesses use us because the specification work is done before anything is quoted, and because the stock is already made when they reorder. around 30 minutes from the Golden Triangle on M42 (J4–J6), M40, A45 and A34 is a short, predictable delivery leg.
The Golden Triangle base around 30 minutes from Solihull is where the national road network converges, which is what makes UK-wide packaging supply from one stock holding practical rather than aspirational.
Specification first, then a quote against it.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Solihull.
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 B90-B93, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Packaging Review in Solihull at WSUK, answered plainly.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Solihull is around 30 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
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.
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 Solihull businesses now do both and need both answered.
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 Solihull is a delivery rather than a production lead time.
Often, yes - and usually not in the unit price. Businesses with a good material price frequently have the wrong box ladder, which costs more in volumetric carriage than the whole material saving was worth.
Yes - waste volume, disposal cost, what the receiving end has to deal with, and recyclability of the materials you are using. See sustainable packaging.
