Commercial packaging supplies for Crick businesses - one trade account, one invoice, and a specification written against your products rather than copied from a catalogue page.
WSUK is a packaging company supplying Crick businesses from Midlands stock, around 8 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 NN6.
The lines a working business gets through - outer cases, mailing bags, sealing tape, protective materials, stretch film - supplied in the quantities that make the unit price sensible, on a single Crick trade account.
Corrugated cartons made to internal dimensions, fitted inserts, cut foam, and branded print on boxes, mailers and tape. Produced once at a run quantity, held by us, and called off into Crick.
Rail freight, national distribution and 3pl. The packaging questions are not the same across those, which is why we work per SKU group rather than quoting a catalogue at the whole range.
The industrial and trade estates around Crick - Northampton, DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal) and Crick Industrial Estate - grew up around M1 (J18), A5, A428 and M6 (J1), and the NN6 postcodes still follow that pattern. What has shifted is the order profile. A far larger share of what leaves Crick now goes as single parcels rather than full pallets, and most of the packaging in the stores was specified for the older shape of that traffic.
The supply line into Crick is deliberately short and deliberately central: one Midlands stock position, around 8 minutes from our Lutterworth site, serving NN6 alongside the rest of the region. Consolidating there is what lets us quote trade quantities to businesses that could not justify them on their own.
Rail freight, national distribution and 3pl are the sectors we supply most around Crick, and they pull in opposite directions. Industrial work wants compression strength and corrosion control; e-commerce and retail work wants dimensional discipline and presentation. Running both on one trade account is normal - running both on one specification is not.
Most Crick businesses that move to us start the same way: they send a list of what they buy, we price it and mark up the lines where a different specification is cheaper delivered, and then we agree a schedule. The review costs nothing and is not conditional on placing an order.
The part Crick businesses notice first is not the price, it is that the packs stop varying. A written specification per SKU group takes the decision away from whoever is on the bench that afternoon, and that alone usually moves the damage rate.
Because WSUK also provides storage and fulfilment, a Crick business can decide where the packaging physically lives. On your site, on ours, or both. The specification and the pricing do not change with that decision.

The Crick estates and nearby places we supply alongside the town itself:
What a Crick business is really buying is not board - it is a specification, a price that holds, and a delivery schedule. The materials are the easy part.
The useful question is rarely 'can this be cheaper'. It is 'where is the money actually going' - and in most Crick operations the answer is warehouse space, carrier bands and damage rather than the price of a box. The review measures all of it.
No brief needed - four steps is the whole process.
Product, quantities and how it travels from Crick.
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 NN6, with call-off where the quantities suit.
Packaging company questions from Crick businesses, answered plainly.
Quantity and specification. Buying locally in small packs costs more per unit and leaves nobody accountable for whether the packaging is right. A trade account fixes the first and a written specification fixes the second.
No minimum commitment and no setup fee. Practically, the economics favour ordering in the quantities a working operation gets through, which is why most Crick accounts settle into a standing schedule.
Lead time depends on the format and the print process, and we quote it with the price rather than after. For Crick accounts that reorder printed lines regularly, holding the run with us removes the lead time from the reorder entirely.
From our Midlands stock, around 8 minutes from our Lutterworth site, on M1 (J18), A5, A428 and M6 (J1). Deliveries run into NN6 on an agreed schedule rather than as separate carriage-paid orders.
Yes, and that is the best place to start. Send the line list and we will price it, propose a specification against it and set out the delivered-cost difference. We will not quote a saving percentage before we have looked.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch and returns, so a Crick business can have the packaging held and used here rather than taking it on site at all. It is optional - plenty of accounts buy packaging alone.
