From a single project run to a standing call-off, custom printed tape delivered into Leamington Spa and the wider Warwickshire area from stock held in the Golden Triangle.
Custom Printed Tape is available to Leamington Spa businesses from WSUK's Midlands base. The sequence is specification, sample where anything is bespoke or printed, then supply into CV31-CV34 - with stockholding and call-off where the quantities make that sensible. Leamington Spa is around 25 minutes from our Lutterworth operation.
The materials, specified against your SKUs - including the recommendation to drop the sizes that nearly fit and the second tape that is doing the first tape's job.
Deliveries into Leamington Spa come out of held Midlands stock around 25 minutes away. Lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one, which matters most on anything with a print plate or a cutting form behind it.
Games and digital ('silicon spa'), precision engineering and automotive. 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.
If you draw a map of Leamington Spa's industrial land it follows A46, M40 (J13–J14) and A452 closely, which is why Tachbrook Park, Sydenham Industrial Estate and Warwick Technology Park ended up where they did. CV31-CV34 covers it all. The businesses despatching from there have the same three packaging questions as everyone else - does it fit, does it protect, and what is it costing delivered - and very few have answers.
WSUK supplies Leamington Spa from the Golden Triangle rather than from a yard in Warwickshire, 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 around 25 minutes away and called off on A46, M40 (J13–J14) and A452, it occupies racking that is already working for a dozen other accounts.
Leamington Spa's trade mix - Games and digital ('silicon spa'), precision engineering and automotive - shapes what packaging the area gets through. Different sectors fail differently: manufactured and engineered goods are usually a load and corrosion problem, retail and online stock is usually a movement and carrier-band problem, and food and consumer goods sit somewhere between the two. Specifying from the sector rather than from a catalogue is most of the work.
Tape is specified by material, width and print. Polypropylene is the general-purpose choice; vinyl is tougher and quieter off the roll and suits heavier cases; paper tape, including gummed paper, is the recyclable option and goes into kerbside collection with the box. Widths are matched to hand dispensers or to whatever case sealer is on the bench in Leamington Spa.
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 Leamington Spa bench running both needs both specified rather than one substituted for the other.
Plenty of Leamington Spa 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.

Leamington Spa 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 around 25 minutes away than from a new production run.
We are straight with Leamington Spa businesses about what is worth changing and what is not. If a standard line does the job, or a substitution would increase damage, we will say so rather than sell it.
Specification first, then a quote against it.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Leamington Spa.
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 CV31-CV34, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Custom Printed Tape in Leamington Spa at WSUK, answered plainly.
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 Leamington Spa businesses now do both and need both answered.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Leamington Spa is around 25 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
Yes - Warwick, Coventry and Rugby are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Warwickshire area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
Only to the delivery, not to the service. Tachbrook Park, Sydenham Industrial Estate, Warwick Technology Park and the rest of CV31-CV34 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.
Yes, and it is one of the better uses of the space. A handler and a customer both look at the seal, so wording there gets read.
Polypropylene, vinyl and paper. Paper tape is the one to choose if you want a single-material corrugated pack that goes into kerbside recycling without the customer separating anything.
