We specify and supply packaging for Cannock businesses from the Midlands - around 45 minutes away, on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34, with the stock already made rather than waiting on a production slot.
Packaging Review in Cannock: specified against the product, the carriers and the stack, then supplied from Midlands Golden Triangle stock around 45 minutes away on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34. WSUK also stores, picks, packs and despatches goods, so the packaging can sit with the operation that uses it.
Trade quantities of the consumables, plus made-to-size cartons, fitted inserts and printed lines where the product or the brand justifies producing them.
Held at our Lutterworth site, around 45 minutes from Cannock on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34. The stock is already made, so a reorder is a delivery rather than a production slot - which is the difference that shows up in your week.
Distribution, warehousing and manufacturing. Whatever the sector, the three questions are the same: does the pack fit, does it protect, and what is it costing delivered rather than per box.
Cannock covers WS11-WS12, and its goods traffic runs on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34. The estates - Tom Hill, Hawks Green, Kingswood Lakeside - are where the pallets and parcels actually leave from. Walk round any of them and you will find the same packaging picture: more box sizes than anyone can justify, two kinds of tape doing one job, and void fill chosen because it was in the cupboard.
WSUK does not hold packaging in Cannock, and that is deliberate rather than a limitation. Stock sits in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 45 minutes away via M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34, which is where run quantities of printed and bespoke lines can be held without any individual customer paying for the space. A reorder from Cannock is a delivery from existing stock rather than a production lead time, and that difference matters far more day to day than how near the warehouse is.
The local economy runs on Distribution, warehousing and manufacturing, and each of those has its own packaging failure mode. That is why we specify per SKU group rather than applying one standard across a business: a single protective specification over a mixed range is simultaneously over-specified for the robust lines and inadequate for the fragile ones, which is the most expensive configuration available.
For Cannock the review usually finds the same pattern: more sizes than the range needs, board specified for the contents rather than the stack, a fill material treating movement as though it were impact, and packs sitting just over a carrier band threshold. None of that is visible from an invoice.
A review needs evidence rather than opinions, so what we ask a Cannock business for is the material list with annual usage, a sample of carrier invoices, the damage and returns figures, and a look at the pack bench. The invoices are the part most often left out and they are frequently where the clearest finding sits.
A useful exercise for any Cannock operation: count your box sizes, then count how many of them are genuinely needed. Most businesses find two or three that nearly duplicate another, each carrying its own stock, its own shelf space and its own decision at the pack bench.
M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34.
Around 45 minutes from our Lutterworth site.
Distribution, warehousing and manufacturing.
Covered within the same Cannock delivery round:
The reason to buy centrally is lead time and price together: a full run held in the Midlands means Cannock gets run-quantity pricing without storing a run, and a reorder is a vehicle rather than a production slot.
Cannock businesses use us because the specification work is done before anything is quoted, and because the stock is already made when they reorder. around 45 minutes from the Golden Triangle on M6 (J11–J12), M6 Toll (T7), A5 and A34 is a short, predictable delivery leg.

Packaging Review in Cannock at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes - Wolverhampton, Lichfield and Walsall are all served from the same stock, along with the wider Staffordshire area. A single delivery schedule covers a lot of accounts in the region.
No, and it is a deliberate structure rather than a gap. Packaging is held centrally in the Midlands so that run quantities of printed and bespoke lines can be stocked without any single customer paying for the space - and so a reorder from Cannock is a delivery rather than a production lead time.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Cannock is around 45 minutes from our Lutterworth site. Tell us the responsiveness you need and we will agree the call-off terms around it.
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.
That is frequently where the biggest number is. A damaged delivery costs the product, both carriage legs, the replacement and often the customer, so damage reduction and cost reduction tend to be the same project. See protective packaging.
No. The findings are yours. If you want us to implement them we will quote for that, and if you would rather take them elsewhere the review still stands.
