The Cannock trade estates get through a lot of board. We specify what yours should be, then supply it from Midlands stock on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34.
Packaging Stockholding for Cannock is supplied out of the Golden Triangle on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34 - 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, warehousing and manufacturing are the ones that tend to need it most.
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 45 minutes by road from Lutterworth, in on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34. Reorder points are agreed against your real consumption so the materials turn up before the shelf is empty rather than after somebody notices.
Distribution, warehousing and manufacturing. 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.
Industrial Cannock is organised around M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34. Hawks Green and Tom Hill take a large share of the town's outbound volume, with Kingswood Lakeside and the smaller units across WS11-WS12 making up the rest. The businesses there range from single-shift operations despatching a few pallets a week to ecommerce sellers putting out several hundred parcels a day - which is a very wide range of packaging requirement in a small area.
From our Lutterworth site it is around 45 minutes to Cannock on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34. That is the whole supply chain for packaging into Staffordshire, and its chief virtue is that the stock is already made. When a line runs low in Cannock, 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 Distribution, warehousing and manufacturing prominent around Cannock, 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.
Call-off also removes the short-run trap. The usual response to having nowhere to put a full run is ordering little and often at the worst price, repeatedly - and occasionally running out and paying for a rush. Holding the run centrally and releasing it into WS11-WS12 as needed breaks that cycle without filling a Cannock warehouse with board.
Holding more reduces the unit cost and increases what is committed to stock that has not been consumed yet. That balance is different per line: a fast-moving tape justifies a large run comfortably, while a printed carton for a seasonal Cannock line can tie up cash for most of a year. The sensible position is usually line by line rather than a single policy.
For Cannock businesses that have grown from pallets into parcels, or the other way round, the packaging usually has not kept up. A parcel network handles goods far more roughly and far less predictably than a pallet journey, so the same product genuinely needs a different pack in each case.

Packaging Stockholding in Cannock at WSUK, answered plainly.
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.
Yes, and for printed or bespoke lines it is usually the sensible arrangement. You buy the economic run quantity, we hold it in Midlands warehousing, and you call off into Cannock as you need it.
Yes. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 45 minutes from Cannock by road on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34, and delivered into WS11-WS12 and the surrounding Staffordshire area.
It is one of the better reasons to do it. Build stock ahead of peak and draw it down through the season, instead of competing for production capacity in the busiest month of the year.
It uses the same warehousing and the same stock discipline. The difference is that it is set up around packaging consumption and call-off rather than around product. See warehouse storage for the general service.
