Custom Printed Tape for businesses across Blackpool and Lancashire and the Fylde Coast - specified against what you actually despatch, then delivered on a schedule that does not run you dry.
Custom Printed Tape for Blackpool is supplied out of the Golden Triangle on M55 (J1-J4), A583, A585 and A587 - About 130 miles / 2 hours 20 from the city - so run-quantity stock is already made when you call it off. Specification comes first; Lancashire and the Fylde Coast firms in Hospitality and tourism supply, food, light engineering and aerospace are the ones that tend to need it most.
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 FY1-FY8. The run is produced once, held About 130 miles / 2 hours 20 from Blackpool, and drawn down as you need it.
Hospitality and tourism supply, food, light engineering and aerospace. Each fails differently, so each needs its own specification - which is why we work per SKU group rather than applying one house standard across a mixed range.
M55 (J1-J4), A583, A585 and A587 is the reason Blackpool works as a despatch location, and Blackpool Business Park, Squires Gate and Whitehills are where that shows up on the ground. Across FY1-FY8 there is a dense mix of manufacturing, distribution and online retail, and the packaging requirement varies more by how the goods travel than by what the business sells - a parcel operation and a pallet operation need different answers even in the same unit.
From our Bilston, Wolverhampton site it is About 130 miles / 2 hours 20 to Blackpool on M55 (J1-J4), A583, A585 and A587. That is the whole supply chain for packaging into Lancashire and the Fylde Coast, and its chief virtue is that the stock is already made. When a line runs low in Blackpool, the question is when a vehicle is coming rather than when a machine is free - which is the difference between a replenishment and a stopped pack bench.
Because Blackpool is strong in Hospitality and tourism supply, food, light engineering and aerospace, a lot of local packaging demand is for things that do not fit a standard box - long, heavy, awkward or fragile items where a near-fit carton plus a handful of fill is doing a job it was never designed for. That is where made-to-size cartons and fitted inserts repay the specification effort fastest.
Tape is also a sealing specification, not only a branding one, and the two decisions interact. A heavy case block-stacked on a pallet out of FY1-FY8 needs an adhesive and a backing that will hold through a warm warehouse and a cold trailer; a light parcel needs neither. Printed tape ordered purely on appearance is how cartons arrive open.
Printed tape needs the artwork, the number of colours, the width and whether it will be applied by hand or by a case sealer. That last point is the one most often left out and it matters: a machine roll and a hand roll are different products, and a Blackpool bench running both needs both specified rather than one substituted for the other.
Plenty of Blackpool businesses are paying for storage of their own packaging without thinking of it that way. Board is bulky and low in value per cubic metre, so a corner of a unit given over to it is usually the most expensive square metre in the building.

Estates, districts and neighbouring towns covered by the same Blackpool delivery pattern:
Blackpool firms tend to come to us with a damage problem or a delivered-cost problem. Both are specification problems, and both are easier to fix from held stock About 130 miles / 2 hours 20 away than from a new production run.
For Blackpool the practical advantages are consolidation, specification and continuity - one account instead of four, materials chosen against the product, and a reorder point set against what you actually use.
Specification first, then a quote against it.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Blackpool.
Materials and sizes chosen for the product and the journey.
Priced against the specification, with a physical sample on anything bespoke or printed.
Delivered into FY1-FY8, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Custom Printed Tape in Blackpool at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes, and for printed or bespoke lines it is usually the sensible arrangement. You buy the economic run quantity, we hold it in Midlands warehousing, and you call off into Blackpool as you need it.
Yes - distance is not the constraint, evidence is. Send us damaged returns or photographs of how items arrive and we can specify against the actual cause rather than adding protection and hoping.
Yes - Preston, Lancaster and Blackburn are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Lancashire and the Fylde Coast area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Blackpool is About 130 miles / 2 hours 20 from our Bilston, Wolverhampton site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
Yes. A printed seal makes interference visible in a way clear tape does not, which is why it is common on higher-value despatches.
It will if it is specified for it. Width, core diameter and roll length all have to match the machine - tell us the make and model and we will specify rolls that run.
