Sterling Heights sits at the core of Metro Detroit’s advanced manufacturing, automotive, defense, and regional distribution ecosystem. The city supports high volumes of automotive components, Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier shipments, defense-related manufacturing, medical supplies, consumer goods, and regional e-commerce fulfillment serving Michigan, the Midwest, and national markets. With direct access to M-59, M-53, I-75, I-94, nearby I-696 corridors, Class I rail service, and freight routes connecting Sterling Heights to Detroit, Warren, Troy, Auburn Hills, Toledo, and Chicago, the region moves enormous quantities of packaged goods every day.
Sterling Heights’ operating environment—cold winters, hot and humid summers, wide seasonal temperature swings, warehouse condensation, forklift-intensive handling, and nonstop interstate trucking—creates demanding conditions for corrugated packaging. Kraft boxes used in Southeast Michigan must withstand winter brittleness, summer humidity, heat-stressed adhesives, compression stress from dense pallet stacking, abrasion from conveyors, and vibration across some of the nation’s busiest automotive freight routes.
Custom Packaging Products supplies truckload quantities of Kraft boxes to automotive suppliers, defense contractors, manufacturers, medical distributors, and fulfillment operations throughout Sterling Heights and Metro Detroit. Our corrugated packaging is engineered for seasonal stability, compression strength, and reliable performance in high-volume Midwest manufacturing and logistics environments.
