Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 5,000 Tier Sheets
The beverage industry moves at high velocity β bottling lines running thousands of units per minute, automated palletizers stacking cases with precision, and distribution centers shipping millions of cases per week. With speeds this high, load stability is everything. Beverage companies canβt afford shifting pallets, crushed cases, unstable stacks, or damaged products.
Beverage Tier Sheets from Custom Packaging Products are engineered to create stable, secure layers between cases, cans, bottles, and multipack trays during palletizing and shipping. These sheets increase load strength, prevent slipping, reduce damage, and improve the efficiency of automated palletizing systems. Tier sheets are essential for beverage production because they keep uniform pressure across layers, allowing for taller stacks, lower product loss, and stronger supply chain performance.
CPP supplies tier sheets in kraft, chipboard, laminated, poly-coated, or plastic options β each designed to meet the heavy demands of beverage manufacturing, copacking, warehousing, and distribution environments.
Why Beverage Plants Depend on Tier Sheets
Every beverage operation β from mega bottling plants to regional distributors β relies on tier sheets for safe, efficient pallet building.
1. Prevent Case Crushing & Top-Load Failures
Beverage pallets often exceed 2,000+ lbs.
Without tier sheets:
-
Pressure points form
-
Cases compress
-
Bottles crack
-
Cans deform
-
Multipacks collapse
Tier sheets distribute weight evenly across all layers, protecting product integrity.
2. Increase Pallet Stability Throughout Transit
During shipping, pallets experience:
β Vibration
β Sudden stops
β Sharp turns
β Warehouse movement
Tier sheets reduce shifting by adding friction between layers, ensuring the load arrives intact.
3. Essential for Automated Palletizing Systems
High-speed beverage lines require:
-
Perfect layer alignment
-
Uniform stacking
-
Predictable load behavior
Tier sheets ensure consistent layering, reducing:
β Misalignment
β Jams
β Machine errors
β Downtime
4. Reduce Damage Rates & Product Loss
Tier sheets protect cases from:
β Abrasion
β Excessive pressure
β Twisting
β Instability
Lower damage = higher profits.
5. Support Taller Pallet Loads
When weight is dispersed properly, beverage plants can stack pallets higher without risking collapse.
Higher stacks =
β Fewer pallets
β More product per truck
β Lower freight cost

Types of Beverage Tier Sheets
CPP manufactures multiple tier sheet styles designed specifically for beverage production environments.
1. Kraft Tier Sheets
Most common and economical.
Benefits:
β Lightweight
β Strong
β Works well in automation
2. Chipboard Tier Sheets
Thicker and more rigid.
Benefits:
β Better compressive strength
β Ideal for heavier beverages
β Used widely in canned drink packaging
3. Laminated Tier Sheets
Used when moisture or friction control is needed.
Benefits:
β Moisture-resistant
β Increases durability
β Smoother surface for automated handling
4. Poly-Coated Tier Sheets
Ideal for cold storage, humid environments, and condensation-prone workflows.
Benefits:
β Waterproof
β Tear-resistant
β Excellent for chilled beverage lines
5. Plastic Tier Sheets
Durable and reusable.
Benefits:
β Extremely strong
β Non-absorbent
β Great friction control
β Long-term cost savings
Often used by high-volume bottlers and distributors.
How Tier Sheets Improve Beverage Supply Chain Efficiency
From bottling lines to retail distribution, tier sheets strengthen every link in the chain.
1. Faster Palletizing Output
Tier sheets allow automated systems to:
β Move faster
β Stack more consistently
β Prevent dropped layers
β Reduce mechanical errors
More uptime = higher daily production.
2. Cleaner & More Stable Warehouse Operations
Tier sheets:
β Keep pallets uniform
β Reduce shifting in racks
β Allow safer forklift handling
Better stability improves warehouse safety and workflow.
3. Lower Transportation Costs
Tier sheets contribute to:
β Higher stacking
β More units per pallet
β Fewer damaged cases
β More efficient truck loading
Transportation becomes dramatically more cost-effective.
4. Essential for Cold Storage Workflows
Cold environments introduce moisture and condensation.
Tier sheets prevent:
β Stickiness between cases
β Water absorption
β Slippage
β Mold risks
Perfect for refrigerated beverage products.
5. Stronger Packaging for Retail & Wholesale Distribution
Retail pallet displays rely on stability.
Tier sheets help:
β Maintain stack integrity
β Improve presentation
β Reduce return rates
