We specify and supply packaging for Brighton businesses from the Midlands - About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 away, on A23, M23, A27 and A259, with the stock already made rather than waiting on a production slot.
WSUK supplies packaging services to businesses in Brighton and across Sussex and the South Coast. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle - About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 from Brighton by road on A23, M23, A27 and A259 - and delivered into BN1-BN3. The specification work happens first: what the product is, how it travels, and what is going wrong now. One-off runs and standing call-off schedules both work.
Everything a despatch bench gets through in a week, on one account: board, mailers, tape, fill, film, strapping and edge protection, delivered together rather than from four suppliers.
Held at our Lutterworth site, About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 from Brighton on A23, M23, A27 and A259. The stock is already made, so a reorder is a delivery rather than a production slot - which is the difference that shows up in your week.
Digital and creative, tourism and hospitality, retail and e-commerce. Plenty of Brighton businesses now despatch both pallets and parcels, and those need genuinely different packaging even for the same product.
Look at where Brighton's trade estates sit and the logic is immediately obvious: Moulsecoomb, Newhaven port estate and Victoria Business Park, Burgess Hill are all within a few minutes of A23, M23, A27 and A259. The BN1-BN3 postcodes cover both the older industrial stock and the newer distribution units, and both ends of that market have a packaging problem - usually the same one, which is that nobody has sat down and specified it.
Supply into Brighton comes out of Midlands stock About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 away. The point of central holding is lead time rather than distance: a business in Brighton 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.
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.
WSUK's packaging offer to Brighton runs from the standard lines you get through weekly to bespoke cartons and fitted inserts, with print, protective specification, a whole-cost review and call-off stockholding alongside. The storage, fulfilment and despatch sit under the same roof, which is unusual and is the main practical reason to consolidate.
The quickest way to get a useful answer is to tell us what you pack, how it leaves Brighton and what is currently going wrong. A line list of what you buy now is ideal; photographs of a packed order and of anything that has arrived damaged are nearly as good. We would rather specify against your actual despatches than against a general description of them.
Most Brighton enquiries start in one of two places: something keeps arriving damaged, or the packaging bill has crept up without anybody deciding that it should. They are usually the same problem seen from different ends, because a pack that does not hold the product properly tends also to be the pack that needs the most fill.

Also delivered into these Sussex and the South Coast areas on the same schedule:
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.
Brighton 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 About 155 miles / 2 hours 45 away than from a new production run.

Packaging Services in Brighton at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes - Hove, Lewes and Shoreham-by-Sea are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Sussex and the South Coast area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
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 Brighton businesses now do both and need both answered.
Supply is in trade quantities rather than retail packs, so there is a practical minimum per line. Tell us what you get through in Brighton and we will tell you what shape an order should take - we would rather not sell you a pallet of something you use twice a year.
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.
