Packaging for the UK's Most Demanding Market
London and the South East is the most concentrated and competitive consumer market in the UK. It's home to the highest density of D2C brands, luxury retailers, cosmetics businesses, tech companies, and creative agencies and it sets the aesthetic and quality standards that eventually reach every other region. If your packaging works here, it works everywhere.
What London businesses demand from their packaging supplier is different from anywhere else in the UK. Brand consistency is non-negotiable. Finish quality is scrutinised soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, and spot UV are not premium additions here, they're baseline expectations in many categories. And lead times need to fit fast-moving brand calendars, not the other way around.
Wabs Print supplies to this market with no minimum order meaning a Shoreditch start-up ordering 50 custom mailer boxes gets the same print quality, the same finish options, and the same free delivery as an established Mayfair brand ordering 50,000. That's not a marketing line. That's how we're set up.
