"The M6 Toll is the whole reason we base volume in Cannock. We slip past the Birmingham bottleneck on the T7 slip and our northern runs are hours more reliable. Kingswood Lakeside ticked every box."
Promotional and shelf-ready pack builds for Cannock businesses, finished to the buyer’s spec and shipped straight out on M6 (J11–J12).
Co-packing and repacking for Cannock: multipacks and banded sets, sleeving and shrink wrap, relabelling and barcode correction, promotional packs and rework of rejected stock. Simple repacks from £0.45 per unit, relabelling from £0.75, with a first-off sample approved before any run. Reached via M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34, 45 minutes from the DIRFT core.
Product rarely arrives in the format the customer buys. Co-packing is the gap, and doing it where the stock already sits saves a whole movement.
Twin packs, three-for-two banded sets, gift packs and seasonal bundles built and finished so they can be sold as a single line.
Barcodes corrected, country-of-origin and language labels applied, retailer-spec labels added and old labels removed properly.
Stock rejected at a retailer, damaged in transit or labelled wrong is inspected, reworked and made sellable rather than written off.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for one-off and project runs. Long-term contract rates apply to repeat pack formats where the work instruction is already established.

Few towns wear their logistics logic as plainly as Cannock. Sitting where the M6, the M6 Toll and the A5 meet just north of Birmingham, it offers something the congested motorway box to its south cannot: fast, reliable access without the daily crawl through Spaghetti Junction. Traffic bound for the North West can peel onto the M6 Toll at T7 and skip the worst of the West Midlands entirely. From the WS11 and WS12 districts the DIRFT core is roughly forty-five minutes away down the M6.
That road position has made distribution and warehousing the town's defining trade. Kingswood Lakeside, developed on former colliery land, is now one of Staffordshire's premier logistics parks, while Tom Hill and Hawks Green add further industrial capacity. The scale of shed space here reflects genuine demand - Cannock functions as a release valve for occupiers priced out of, or clogged up in, the Birmingham conurbation, yet it keeps them within easy reach of the same customer base.
Look at Cannock's neighbours and the appeal sharpens further. Walsall and Wolverhampton sit just south on the M6; Lichfield and Tamworth are a short eastward run via the A5 and A34. Cannock Chase, the wooded upland on the town's doorstep, is a reminder that this remains Staffordshire rather than Black Country sprawl. For a distributor weighing a Midlands base, the town offers motorway convergence, modern estates and land availability in a single, well-connected package.
Because the bench sits in the same building as the stock, a promotional run for a Cannock brand can be specified, built, barcoded and despatched into a retailer’s RDC in the same week it was agreed — which is usually the constraint that matters.

Because three major routes converge here: the M6 at Junctions 11-12, the M6 Toll at T7 and the A5. That lets operators reach the North West and the South without funnelling through central Birmingham, which is why the town has attracted so much modern warehouse development.
Kingswood Lakeside was built on reclaimed colliery land into a large, purpose-designed logistics park with big-shed units and strong HGV access. Alongside Tom Hill and Hawks Green, it gives Cannock a depth of modern distribution space that's hard to match locally.
Yes - that's a key advantage. Joining the M6 Toll at T7 lets northbound and southbound freight bypass the notorious M6 stretch through Spaghetti Junction, making journey times far more predictable, especially at peak hours.
Walsall and Wolverhampton are minutes down the M6, while Lichfield and Tamworth sit a short run east via the A5 and A34. The whole northern edge of the West Midlands conurbation is comfortably within a rapid delivery radius.
Allow around forty-five minutes down the M6 to the Rugby and DIRFT area. That keeps Cannock connected to the Golden Triangle's rail-freight core while giving you land and shed availability the more central hubs often lack.
Multipacks and banded sets, sleeving and shrink wrapping, promotional and gift packs, shelf-ready outers, relabelling and barcode correction, and rework of rejected stock. Simple repacks from £0.45 per unit, relabelling from £0.75.
Yes — send a sample first. We inspect it and tell you honestly what proportion is recoverable and the cost per unit before you commit the pallets. It almost always beats writing the stock off.
No, and that is the main saving. The work happens in the same Cannock-serving warehouse your stock already sits in, so you avoid two freight movements and a week of transit.
A first-off sample is built and approved by you before the run starts, with a QC check per batch afterwards. Nothing runs at volume until you have seen one.
Yes — barcoded as its own SKU, counted into stock and pickable immediately, so a promotional pack can be built and despatched to a retailer in the same week.
