Packaging delivered across Lutterworth and Leicestershire from WSUK's Midlands stock. Businesses on Market Harborough, Magna Park (the UK's largest dedicated distribution park), Mere Lane and the smaller units around them are supplied off the same stock as Rugby and Hinckley, which is part of why run quantities work even for a single unit.
The estates we supply in Lutterworth
Packaging into Lutterworth does not go to a high street address. It goes to Market Harborough, Magna Park (the UK's largest dedicated distribution park) and Mere Lane - the estates and business parks where Lutterworth's manufacturing, distribution and trade counters actually operate, served off M1 (J20), A426, A5 and M6 (J1).
Market Harborough, Magna Park (the UK's largest dedicated distribution park) and Mere Lane carry most of Lutterworth's despatch activity. What the units on them have in common is scale rather than sector: individually too small to buy at a run quantity that prices well, collectively consuming a great deal of packaging.
Most businesses on Market Harborough and Mere Lane have never had their packaging looked at as a whole, because there has never been an obvious moment to do it. The line list grows, the sizes stay, and the cost sits in several places at once rather than anywhere visible.
Estate units tend to carry more packaging lines than they need and fewer than they think. Two tapes because nobody cancelled the first, three void fills for the same job, and no protective specification at all for the one product that keeps arriving damaged.
We hold Lutterworth customers' packaging around 15 minutes away at Lutterworth. For anything printed or bespoke, which comes in run quantities, that is the difference between buying the economic quantity and having somewhere to put it.
What businesses on Market Harborough and Magna Park (the UK's largest dedicated distribution park) tend to buy
What a unit orders follows what it despatches rather than what trade it is in. On a Lutterworth estate it tends to look like this.
| Unit type | What it despatches | What it usually buys |
|---|---|---|
| Print or signage business | Flat and rolled work | Book wraps, rigid tubes, board tops, edge protection |
| Food and drink producer | Retail cases and pallets | Shelf ready cases, trays, layer pads, stretch film |
| Trade counter or merchant | Collected and local delivery | Heavy duty sacks and cases, strapping, stretch film |
| Electronics or instrument maker | Sensitive assemblies | Anti-static foam and bags, fitted inserts, cushioned outers |
| Distribution or 3PL unit | Pallets to a schedule | Pallet consumables, layer pads, film, strapping |
| Service or installation business | Kit out to site and back | Reclosable cases, durable labelling, protective film |

What we supply into Lutterworth
A trade account into Lutterworth covers the whole bench rather than just the boxes.
- Void fill and cushioning - paper fill, air cushion, bubble and loose fill, specified against the failure rather than the shelf. See protective packaging.
- Foam - sheet, convoluted, profiled and pocketed inserts, including anti-static grades. See foam packaging.
- Postal and ecommerce formats - mailers, letterbox packs, book wraps and padded envelopes. See postal and parcel packaging.
- Tape and sealing - polypropylene, vinyl and paper tape in hand and machine widths, plus dispensers. See custom printed tape for printed.
- Cartons and cases - single and double wall, postal boxes, heavy duty and triple wall where weight demands it. See packaging supplies.
- Printed and bespoke - printed cartons, tape and inner wrap, and made-to-size cartons where a standard line is costing more than it saves. See bespoke carton manufacture.
Getting it delivered, and not running out
Consumption is usually more predictable than businesses expect. Twelve months of usage on a line list shows the pattern clearly enough to resupply against it rather than against a purchase order, which is the difference between a managed supply and a series of emergencies.
The mechanics of that are on packaging stockholding, and packaging stockholding in Lutterworth covers it for Lutterworth specifically.
One account instead of four suppliers
Most of what looks like a packaging price problem on a Lutterworth estate is a specification problem. A box that is slightly too big is paying twice - once for the board and again for the volume a carrier charges for - and no amount of supplier negotiation recovers that. Getting the fit right does.
If you want that looked at properly rather than quoted like-for-like, a packaging review examines materials, storage, carriage, labour, damage and waste together.
The short version
- One account covers outers, protection, print, bespoke work and pallet consumables.
- Lutterworth's packaging goes to its estates - Market Harborough, Magna Park (the UK's largest dedicated distribution park) and Mere Lane - not to a town centre address.
- Standard lines come off existing stock; printed and bespoke lines are worth holding because they carry a real lead time.
- The usual finding is a range that is too long rather than a price that is too high.
Frequently asked questions
We have no room to store packaging. What are the options?
Call-off. The economic run is produced once, held in Midlands warehousing and released into LE17 as your bench consumes it. You get the run-quantity price without putting pallets of board on a floor you need for stock.
Can you specify packaging for a product we are launching?
Yes. Send the product or accurate dimensions and we will specify against it, with a physical sample approved before any production run on anything bespoke - see bespoke packaging.
Can you deliver to more than one unit?
Yes. Several units on the same estate, or units across Lutterworth, Rugby and Hinckley, can be supplied on one account with deliveries split between them.
Do you supply other estates near Lutterworth?
Yes - units in Rugby, Hinckley and Leicester are supplied off the same stock. See packaging services for every location with a page of its own.
Can you look at what we currently buy?
Send the line list with rough usage against each item. That is usually enough to show whether the opportunity is a better specification, a shorter range of sizes, or simply buying the same things in a quantity that prices properly. See packaging review and cost reduction.
