The Towcester trade estates get through a lot of board. We specify what yours should be, then supply it from Midlands stock on A5, A43 and M1 (J15A).
WSUK provides packaging supplies across Towcester, Brackley and Daventry. Materials are specified to your product, held at our Lutterworth site around 25 minutes from Towcester, and delivered into NN12 on a schedule agreed against your real consumption. Bespoke and printed lines are sampled before any production run.
The materials, specified against your SKUs - including the recommendation to drop the sizes that nearly fit and the second tape that is doing the first tape's job.
Deliveries into Towcester come out of held Midlands stock around 25 minutes away. Lead time is a transport question rather than a manufacturing one, which matters most on anything with a print plate or a cutting form behind it.
Motorsport engineering, distribution and light manufacturing. 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.
If you draw a map of Towcester's industrial land it follows A5, A43 and M1 (J15A) closely, which is why Towcester Business Park, Silverstone Park (nearby) and Milton Keynes ended up where they did. NN12 covers it all. The businesses despatching from there have the same three packaging questions as everyone else - does it fit, does it protect, and what is it costing delivered - and very few have answers.
From our Lutterworth site it is around 25 minutes to Towcester on A5, A43 and M1 (J15A). That is the whole supply chain for packaging into Northamptonshire, and its chief virtue is that the stock is already made. When a line runs low in Towcester, the question is when a vehicle is coming rather than when a machine is free - which is the difference between a replenishment and a stopped pack bench.
Around Towcester the trade is largely Motorsport engineering, distribution and light manufacturing. 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 Towcester businesses now do both.
For supply specifically, what a Towcester business gets is a specified line list rather than a catalogue account - cartons, mailers, tape, void fill, film and pallet consumables chosen against your SKUs and your despatch profile, then delivered on a repeat schedule in trade quantities. One account, one delivery, one invoice.
To quote supplies properly we need the line list - sizes, grades, quantities and how often you reorder - rather than a request for a price on boxes. Sizes and consumption together are what decide whether a Towcester business is better served by stock lines held centrally, a bespoke size, or simply fewer sizes than it currently carries.
We would rather start a Towcester enquiry with a short conversation about the product than a price list. Packaging quoted without specification is just a price for something that may not be the right thing, and that is how businesses end up with a cupboard full of near-fits.

Towcester and the surrounding trade areas we serve:
Towcester 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 25 minutes away than from a new production run.
The Golden Triangle base around 25 minutes from Towcester is where the national road network converges, which is what makes UK-wide packaging supply from one stock holding practical rather than aspirational.
Specification first, then a quote against it.

Materials and sizes chosen for the product and the journey.

Packaging Supplies in Towcester at WSUK, answered plainly.
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.
Yes - distance is not the constraint, evidence is. Send us damaged returns or photographs of how items arrive and we can specify against the actual cause rather than adding protection and hoping.
Only to the delivery, not to the service. Towcester Business Park, Silverstone Park (nearby), Milton Keynes and the rest of NN12 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.
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.
Send the line list or a description of what you despatch and we will come back with a quote. If you are not sure what to ask for, that is normal - describe the product and we will specify it.
Corrugated cartons and postal boxes, polythene and paper mailers, carton sealing and printed tape, void fill and cushioning, bubble wrap and foam, stretch wrap, shrink film, strapping, corner boards and pallet consumables. If a line is not standard, it can usually be made to specification - see bespoke packaging.
