We specify and supply packaging for Warrington businesses from the Midlands - About 75 miles / 1 hour 20 away, on M6 (J20-J22), M62 (J8-J11) and M56, with the stock already made rather than waiting on a production slot.
WSUK supplies retail packaging to businesses in Warrington and across Cheshire. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle - About 75 miles / 1 hour 20 from Warrington by road on M6 (J20-J22), M62 (J8-J11) and M56 - and delivered into WA1-WA5. 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 Bilston, Wolverhampton site, About 75 miles / 1 hour 20 from Warrington on M6 (J20-J22), M62 (J8-J11) and M56. 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.
Third-party logistics, nuclear and engineering, retail distribution and chemicals are the sectors we see most around Warrington. The common thread is packs that were specified for a product range that has since changed shape.
Warrington's outbound goods move on M6 (J20-J22), M62 (J8-J11) and M56, and most of them originate on Gemini, Birchwood Park or Winwick Quay. The WA1-WA5 range is compact enough that a packaging delivery schedule can serve a lot of accounts efficiently, which is part of why we can supply Cheshire properly from the Midlands rather than needing a yard in every town.
Supply into Warrington comes out of Midlands stock About 75 miles / 1 hour 20 away. The point of central holding is lead time rather than distance: a business in Warrington 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.
Warrington's profile in Third-party logistics, nuclear and engineering, retail distribution and chemicals means the practical packaging conversation here is usually about damage and about delivered cost rather than about unit price. A business losing product in transit is paying for the goods, both carriage legs, the replacement and often the customer, so protective specification tends to be the first thing worth fixing.
Transit and presentation pull in opposite directions and the compromise has to be made deliberately. Board heavy enough to protect a stacked pallet from Warrington to a regional depot is board that prints less well and costs more; a case light enough to look elegant may not survive the journey. We would rather specify for the journey and put the presentation into an inner or a printed outer face.
The first thing we need for retail work is the retailer's own packaging specification, because it is usually explicit about case dimensions, pallet configuration, barcode type and placement and board requirements. Designing a pack for a Warrington range and then reading the specification is the expensive order to do this in, and it happens often.
A useful exercise for any Warrington operation: count your box sizes, then count how many of them are genuinely needed. Most businesses find two or three that nearly duplicate another, each carrying its own stock, its own shelf space and its own decision at the pack bench.

Supply is in trade quantities rather than retail packs, so there is a practical minimum per line. Tell us what you get through in Warrington 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 Warrington 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.
