Tacoma is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most important logistics and port-driven industrial hubs, anchored by the Port of Tacoma, regional rail yards, and dense warehouse and manufacturing corridors. With direct access to I-5, SR-16, SR-167, Class I rail, and marine terminals serving trans-Pacific trade, Tacoma supports high volumes of palletized freight moving through port, rail, and truck networks. Protecting palletized goods from compression, vibration, abrasion, and load shifting is critical in this high-throughput, multi-modal logistics environment.
Tacoma’s operating conditions—including marine humidity, heavy containerized freight, dense port-area stacking, mixed pallet builds, and long regional and interstate hauls—place constant demands on protective packaging materials. Honeycomb pads used across Tacoma must deliver dependable compression strength, lightweight performance, and consistent load distribution for port terminals, warehouses, manufacturers, and distribution centers serving the Pacific Northwest.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk quantities of honeycomb pads to port operators, manufacturers, third-party logistics providers, warehouses, and distribution centers throughout Tacoma and the South Puget Sound region. Our honeycomb pads are engineered to provide lightweight strength, pallet stability, and damage prevention in demanding port and inland logistics environments.
