Serving Corby, Kettering and Market Harborough with packaging that fits the product, survives the journey and keeps arriving - supplied from Golden Triangle stock.
WSUK's industrial packaging reaches Corby from our Lutterworth site, around 40 minutes 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 NN17-NN18. The run is produced once, held around 40 minutes from Corby, and drawn down as you need it.
Distribution, steel and metals and food processing. 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.
A43, A6014, A6003 and A14 is the reason Corby works as a despatch location, and Earlstrees Industrial Estate, Weldon and Willowbrook are where that shows up on the ground. Across NN17-NN18 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.
WSUK supplies Corby from the Golden Triangle rather than from a yard in Northamptonshire, 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 40 minutes away and called off on A43, A6014, A6003 and A14, it occupies racking that is already working for a dozen other accounts.
Around Corby the trade is largely Distribution, steel and metals and food processing. 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 Corby businesses now do both.
The handling reality at both ends has to be designed for. A case that a forklift handles at a Corby site may be moved by hand at the other end, or the other way round, and the pack has to allow for whichever is worse. Access points, lifting provision and whether a crate can be opened without destroying it are specification decisions, not afterthoughts.
Timber crating against heavy-duty corrugated is the decision that comes up most. Corrugated is lighter, cheaper, easier to store and recyclable at the far end; a crate survives handling that would destroy board and can be opened and reclosed. For a Corby business the honest test is what the worst handling on the route looks like, not the average.
Plenty of Corby 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.

Around 40 minutes from our Lutterworth site.
Distribution, steel and metals and food processing.
Estates, districts and neighbouring towns covered by the same Corby delivery pattern:
Corby 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 40 minutes away than from a new production run.
The reason to buy centrally is lead time and price together: a full run held in the Midlands means Corby gets run-quantity pricing without storing a run, and a reorder is a vehicle rather than a production slot.
Specification first, then a quote against it.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Corby.
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 NN17-NN18, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Industrial Packaging in Corby at WSUK, answered plainly.
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.
Yes - Kettering, Market Harborough and Wellingborough are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Northamptonshire 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. Corby is around 40 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
Only to the delivery, not to the service. Earlstrees Industrial Estate, Weldon, Willowbrook and the rest of NN17-NN18 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.
Export packing is a related but distinct service and WSUK already provides it - see export packing, which covers crating and the requirements that apply to goods leaving the UK.
Weight and dimensions, centre of gravity if it is uneven, stack height, storage duration and conditions, the journey, and any corrosion history. Photographs of how items have failed are more useful than a general description.
