The Lichfield trade estates get through a lot of board. We specify what yours should be, then supply it from Midlands stock on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9).
Packaging Services for Lichfield is supplied out of the Golden Triangle on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9) - around 45 minutes from the city - so run-quantity stock is already made when you call it off. Specification comes first; Staffordshire firms in Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing are the ones that tend to need it most.
Cartons and mailers in the sizes your product needs, one tape rather than three, void fill and foam matched to how the goods actually fail, and pallet consumables - specified as a set rather than bought line by line.
One-off runs and standing call-off schedules both work into WS13-WS14. The run is produced once, held around 45 minutes from Lichfield, and drawn down as you need it.
Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing. Each fails differently, so each needs its own specification - which is why we work per SKU group rather than applying one house standard across a mixed range.
Lichfield moves goods on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9), and the trade estates sit where those routes meet - Fradley Park, Britannia Enterprise Park and Trent Valley among them. Postcodes run across WS13-WS14, taking in everything from small units on older industrial land to modern sheds on the edge of town. Packaging consumption follows that split: the small units want sensible quantities delivered reliably, and the larger operations want a specified line list and a call-off schedule.
Lichfield is served from Midlands stock around 45 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 A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9) makes the delivery leg short and predictable.
With Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing prominent around Lichfield, 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.
What a Lichfield business gets here is a single packaging relationship covering supply, design, print, protection, review and stockholding - specified by an operator that packs orders and builds pallets every working day. That operational grounding is the reason the specification tends to be about delivered cost and pack time rather than about the price of a box.
A good first step for a Lichfield account is simply to write the specification down. Once each SKU group has an agreed box, an agreed protection standard and an agreed fill, packs become consistent, damage becomes measurable, and nobody at the bench has to make a judgement call on every order.

Packaging Services in Lichfield at WSUK, answered plainly.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Lichfield is around 45 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
You do not need to know. Describe the product, how it travels from Lichfield 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.
Supply is in trade quantities rather than retail packs, so there is a practical minimum per line. Tell us what you get through in Lichfield 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.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Lichfield business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.
