"We keep overflow stock near Raunds and the Warth Park proximity is ideal. Straight onto the A45, quick hop to the A14, and our trunk vehicles are gone before the traffic builds. Faultless for our seasonal peaks."
Promotional and shelf-ready pack builds for Raunds businesses, finished to the buyer’s spec and shipped straight out on A45.
WSUK does contract packing for Raunds brands in the same building the stock already sits in — which removes two freight movements and a week of transit. From £0.45 per unit, finished packs barcoded and pickable the same day. A45, A14 and A6 on the doorstep; we also cover Rushden and Wellingborough.
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.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Multipacks, banding, sleeving and shrink wrapping.
Barcode, compliance and retailer-spec labels.
Rejected, damaged or mislabelled stock made sellable.

Raunds is a modest Northamptonshire town in the NN9 postcode that carries surprising logistics weight, thanks largely to Warth Park on its edge. That distribution estate has drawn national names including Howdens and a major Primark distribution centre, turning fields off the A45 into a serious warehousing address. The town threads the A45/A14 corridor, with the A6 close by, giving hauliers a clean run east toward the ports or west into Northampton. For a place this size, the sheer scale of shed space is what marks it out.
Geographically, Raunds sits within the East Northamptonshire cluster alongside Rushden, Higham Ferrers, Wellingborough and Kettering - a belt where distribution and e-commerce fulfilment have quietly become the dominant employers. The A14 provides the strategic east-west spine linking Felixstowe traffic through to the M1 and M6, while the A45 handles the local artery down to Northampton. Beyond the big sheds, the town retains a joinery and manufacturing thread, so the mix of freight leaving Raunds ranges from full-load retail stock to smaller trade consignments.
From Raunds it is roughly forty minutes back to the DIRFT and Rugby core of the Golden Triangle, placing the town toward the eastern reach of that famous distribution zone. That still keeps it comfortably inside single-drive-shift range of the M1 and the rail-freight terminal, which is why national operators are content basing stock here. The Kimbolton Road estate adds further capacity close to the town centre. In short: small population, big pallet counts, and a road network that punches well above the local map.
WSUK builds multipacks, promotional packs and shelf-ready outers for brands across Raunds and Northamptonshire, finished to the buyer’s spec, with a first-off sample approved before any run and the finished pack barcoded as its own SKU.

Local answers for Raunds, plus the questions every co-packing & repacking client asks.
Most warehousing capacity sits at Warth Park on the A45 edge of Raunds, where national names like Howdens and Primark operate distribution centres. The Kimbolton Road estate offers additional space closer to the NN9 town centre for smaller, trade-scale storage needs.
Raunds sits just off the A45, which links directly to the A14 within a few minutes' drive. That gives you the strategic east-west freight route toward Felixstowe one way and the M1/M6 and DIRFT the other, all without touching congested town roads.
Yes - Warth Park was purpose-built for exactly that, hosting large-scale retail and e-commerce distribution operations. With the A45 and A14 on the doorstep and the NN9 location central to the East Midlands, next-day delivery footprints are very achievable from here.
Rushden, Higham Ferrers, Wellingborough and Kettering are all close, forming a tight East Northamptonshire distribution belt. Storage in Raunds lets you serve that whole cluster on short local runs rather than long trunk legs.
Around forty minutes westward via the A45 and A14 links back to the M1. That puts Raunds at the eastern edge of the Golden Triangle, still well within a single driving shift of the Rugby and DIRFT rail-freight core.
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 Raunds-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.
