Serving Reading, Bracknell and Wokingham with packaging that fits the product, survives the journey and keeps arriving - supplied from Golden Triangle stock.
WSUK's bespoke packaging reaches Reading from our Lutterworth site, About 95 miles / 1 hour 45 by road. What arrives is a specified set of materials rather than whatever was nearest the right size - and it keeps arriving, because the reorder point is set against your consumption rather than a guess.
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 RG1-RG31. The run is produced once, held About 95 miles / 1 hour 45 from Reading, and drawn down as you need it.
Technology and telecoms, professional services, logistics and retail. Manufactured goods are usually a load and corrosion problem; online and retail stock is usually a movement and carrier-band problem. Both are specification work.
Anyone despatching from Reading is doing it onto M4 (J10-J12), A33, A329(M) and A4. That access is why the estates at Reading International Business Park, Green Park and Basingstoke Road corridor exist, and why RG1-RG31 holds a mix of manufacturers, distributors and online sellers who all get through packaging at quite different rates. The common thread is that almost none of them specified what they are using - it accumulated.
WSUK supplies Reading from the Golden Triangle rather than from a yard in Berkshire, and the reason is storage economics. Packaging is bulky and low in value per cubic metre - precisely the wrong thing to be holding in expensive local space. Held centrally About 95 miles / 1 hour 45 away and called off on M4 (J10-J12), A33, A329(M) and A4, it occupies racking that is already working for a dozen other accounts.
Around Reading the trade is largely Technology and telecoms, professional services, logistics and retail. For packaging purposes the useful distinction is not the sector but the journey: anything going through a parcel network is handled more roughly and more unpredictably than anything going on a pallet, and the same product needs a different pack in each case. Plenty of Reading businesses now do both.
Bespoke work for Reading businesses starts with measurement - the real external dimensions of the product, its weight, its weak axis - and with how it travels, because a pallet journey and a parcel journey fail in completely different ways. From there we specify the format, make a sample you approve with your own product in it, and then produce it.
Bespoke costs more per pack and frequently less per despatch, and which of those matters depends on volume. A Reading business sending a few units a week will rarely recover a cutting form; one sending steadily through the year recovers it in void fill, carrier volume and damage that stops happening. We will say which case we think you are in.
The question we ask a Reading business first is not what you currently buy but what you despatch - product dimensions, weight, how it travels, and what has gone wrong. From there the specification follows. Starting from the existing line list tends to reproduce whatever decisions were made years ago.

Bespoke Packaging in Reading at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Reading business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.
Yes. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle, About 95 miles / 1 hour 45 from Reading by road on M4 (J10-J12), A33, A329(M) and A4, and delivered into RG1-RG31 and the surrounding Berkshire area.
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 Reading businesses now do both and need both answered.
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.
Frequently it is the more sustainable option, because a fitted pack uses less material and less void fill than a standard box doing the same job. See sustainable packaging.
Anything specified to your product rather than chosen from a standard range - a carton made to internal dimensions, a fitted insert or partition, cut foam, a corrugated fitment, or a presentation format. If a standard line would do the job, we will tell you that instead.
