For Corby manufacturers, distributors and online retailers: packaging specified properly, bought in bulk, held in Midlands stock and delivered on a schedule you set.
WSUK is a packaging company supplying Corby businesses from Midlands stock, around 40 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors buy commercial packaging supplies, bespoke packaging and printed packaging on one trade account, delivered into NN17-NN18.
Everything from the pack bench to the pallet, in commercial quantities: board, bags, tapes, fill, film and strapping. Priced against a line list, delivered into NN17-NN18, invoiced monthly.
Where a standard box is costing more in fill, carriage and damage than a bespoke one would cost outright, we say so - and make it to size. Print goes on at the same time, so the outer earns its keep.
Storage, packaging, fulfilment, pick and pack, despatch and returns from the same business. For a Corby account that means the people specifying the box are the people packing into it.
Packaging in Corby tends to be bought locally and in small quantities, which is the most expensive way to do it. The estates around Earlstrees Industrial Estate, Weldon and Willowbrook sit on A43, A6014, A6003 and A14, so there is no logistical reason for a Corby business to be paying cash-and-carry prices for materials it gets through by the pallet.
Stock sits around 40 minutes from our Lutterworth site, which puts Corby comfortably inside a normal delivery schedule on A43, A6014, A6003 and A14. More useful than the drive time is what central holding allows - bulk pricing, call-off, and the ability to change a specification between runs without writing off a warehouse full of the old one.
Local industry around Corby is weighted towards distribution, steel and metals and food processing. We quote all of them from the same stock position but not from the same specification, because a pack that survives a pallet network is not automatically a pack that survives a parcel network.
For most Corby accounts the sensible first step is a review rather than an order. Tell us what you despatch, what you currently buy and roughly what it costs you, and we will come back with a specification and a price against it. That is also the point at which we will tell you if a change is not worth making.
For a Corby business the real win is that packaging stops being a weekly decision. Agreed lines, agreed quantities, agreed delivery frequency - and the only time anybody thinks about it again is when a product changes or a review finds something better.
The packaging account stands on its own, but it sits next to warehouse storage, order fulfilment, pick and pack and despatch if a Corby operation ever wants those. Nothing is bundled - the point is that the option is there without changing supplier.

Corby benefits from the same thing every WSUK trade account does: packaging specified to the journey as well as the product, bought at commercial quantities, and delivered before the shelf is empty rather than after.
Bring us the Corby line list and we will go through it properly - what each line is for, whether it is the right material, whether the size is right, and what it is costing once carriage, labour and damage are counted. You keep the findings whether or not you buy anything.
No brief needed - four steps is the whole process.
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.
Packaging company questions from Corby businesses, answered plainly.
A supplier. WSUK provides the materials and the specification; if a Corby business also wants the packing done, that is our fulfilment and pick and pack service and it is bought separately.
Yes, and most Corby accounts do. Agreed lines, agreed quantities and an agreed delivery frequency, with the reorder point set against your consumption rather than against somebody noticing the shelf is empty.
Sometimes. A product that does not fit a stock box pays for the gap on every despatch, so a made-to-size carton can cost less delivered than a standard box plus fill plus a volumetric surcharge. Where that is not true, we say so.
Yes - Kettering, Northampton and Market Harborough are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Midlands Golden Triangle area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
Yes. A review that only ever finds savings is a sales pitch. If a Corby operation is already buying the right material in the right quantity, that is what the findings will say.
It stays yours. Held in Midlands warehousing against your account, called off into Corby on request, and visible as a stock position rather than disappearing into a general pool.
