Packaging Stockholding for Northamptonshire businesses - supplied in trade quantities, specified properly, and held centrally so a reorder is a delivery rather than a lead time.
Packaging Stockholding for Towcester businesses is supplied from WSUK's Golden Triangle operation rather than from a local depot - which is the point, because it means run-quantity stock and no production lead time on a reorder. Towcester is around 25 minutes away on A5, A43 and M1 (J15A), and NN12 addresses are served as a matter of routine.
A specified line list: boxes, mailers, sealing tape, protective materials, film and strapping, in trade quantities, repeating on a schedule set against what you really get through.
Stock sits centrally in the Golden Triangle rather than in a local yard, which is what makes run quantities of printed and bespoke lines affordable. Towcester is around 25 minutes away via A5, A43 and M1 (J15A).
Motorsport engineering, distribution and light manufacturing. Plenty of Towcester businesses now despatch both pallets and parcels, and those need genuinely different packaging even for the same product.
Look at where Towcester's trade estates sit and the logic is immediately obvious: Silverstone Park (nearby), Milton Keynes and Towcester Business Park are all within a few minutes of A5, A43 and M1 (J15A). The NN12 postcodes cover both the older industrial stock and the newer distribution units, and both ends of that market have a packaging problem - usually the same one, which is that nobody has sat down and specified it.
Our supply point for Towcester is Lutterworth, around 25 minutes away. Holding packaging there rather than locally is what keeps both the unit price and the responsiveness sensible: a full run is produced and held, and Towcester takes delivery of what it needs on A5, A43 and M1 (J15A). You get the price of a big order and the convenience of a small one.
Motorsport engineering, distribution and light manufacturing dominate the Towcester area, and with them come the two most common local packaging problems. The first is a box ladder that grew rather than being designed, so there are nine sizes and each order needs a decision. The second is protection chosen by the person packing rather than by specification, which makes damage rates unpredictable.
The space argument is usually stronger than the price argument. Packaging is bulky and nearly weightless, so a pallet of cartons or foam occupies racking that could hold sellable product. For a Towcester business paying for its own warehousing, moving packaging out of that space has a value quite separate from what the run quantity saves on unit cost.
Holding more reduces the unit cost and increases what is committed to stock that has not been consumed yet. That balance is different per line: a fast-moving tape justifies a large run comfortably, while a printed carton for a seasonal Towcester line can tie up cash for most of a year. The sensible position is usually line by line rather than a single policy.
Most Towcester enquiries start in one of two places: something keeps arriving damaged, or the packaging bill has crept up without anybody deciding that it should. They are usually the same problem seen from different ends, because a pack that does not hold the product properly tends also to be the pack that needs the most fill.

Packaging Stockholding in Towcester at WSUK, answered plainly.
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 Towcester is a delivery rather than a production lead time.
Yes - Daventry, Northampton and Brackley 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.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Towcester business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.
The stock is already made, so the lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one. Towcester 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 - stock levels are visible and reorder points are agreed, so the next run is triggered before a line runs out rather than after somebody notices.
Anything with a run quantity or a lead time - printed cartons and mailers, printed tape, bespoke inserts, foam - and anything bulky enough that storing it yourself is genuinely costing you space.
