Packaging delivered into Lichfield and WS13-WS14 from our Lutterworth operation - specified for your product, your carriers and the way your orders actually travel.
Postal and Parcel Packaging in Lichfield: specified against the product, the carriers and the stack, then supplied from Midlands Golden Triangle stock around 45 minutes away on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9). WSUK also stores, picks, packs and despatches goods, so the packaging can sit with the operation that uses it.
Everything a despatch bench gets through in a week, on one account: board, mailers, tape, fill, film, strapping and edge protection, delivered together rather than from four suppliers.
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. Lichfield is around 45 minutes away via A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9).
Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing. Plenty of Lichfield businesses now despatch both pallets and parcels, and those need genuinely different packaging even for the same product.
The road pattern around Lichfield - A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9) - is what put the industrial estates where they are. Britannia Enterprise Park and Trent Valley are the names that come up most, with Fradley Park alongside them, and the whole WS13-WS14 range is within an easy delivery radius of each other. For a packaging supplier that matters in a dull but useful way: one vehicle into Lichfield can cover a lot of accounts.
Stock for Lichfield sits in the Midlands, around 45 minutes away. For consumables this is simply the sensible structure - there is no advantage in a pallet of board being nearer to you if it is nearer to you in a unit you are paying for. Centrally held and delivered on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9), the same stock covers Lichfield, Cannock and Burton upon Trent without any of them carrying the storage.
Distribution, logistics and light manufacturing dominate the Lichfield 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.
Parcel packaging out of Lichfield is specified against the carrier's charging structure as much as against the product. Parcel networks price on bands of size and weight, and volumetric rules mean an oversized box is charged as though the air in it were goods. A format that sits just inside a band costs materially less to despatch than one that tips over the edge of it.
Thinner and smaller is cheaper to send and offers less protection, and the point where that stops being worth it is specific to the product. A letterbox-depth mailer that avoids a failed delivery is a clear gain; the same mailer around something that arrives bent is a false economy. We would rather test a format from Lichfield than assume it.
If damage is the issue in Lichfield, the most useful thing you can send us is the damaged items themselves, or photographs of how they arrive. The pattern of the damage tells us whether the cause is movement, compression, impact or abrasion - and those need four different answers.

For Lichfield the practical advantages are consolidation, specification and continuity - one account instead of four, materials chosen against the product, and a reorder point set against what you actually use.
Lichfield 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 45 minutes away than from a new production run.

Postal and Parcel Packaging in Lichfield at WSUK, answered plainly.
Yes. WSUK provides storage, fulfilment, pick and pack, parcel despatch, transport and returns, so a Lichfield business can have the packaging sit with the operation that uses it.
Only to the delivery, not to the service. Britannia Enterprise Park, Trent Valley, Fradley Park and the rest of WS13-WS14 are all within the same delivery pattern, and the specification work is identical wherever the unit is.
Supply is in trade quantities rather than retail packs, so there is a practical minimum per line. Tell us what you get through in Lichfield and we will tell you what shape an order should take - we would rather not sell you a pallet of something you use twice a year.
Yes. Stock is held in the Midlands Golden Triangle, around 45 minutes from Lichfield by road on A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9), and delivered into WS13-WS14 and the surrounding Staffordshire area.
Measure them against the thresholds. It is genuinely that simple and almost nobody does it - send us your pack dimensions and the carriers you use and we will map it.
Yes, and it is worth specifying rather than improvising, because long and thin packs attract surcharges when they exceed a carrier's length limits.
