Oakland sits at the center of Northern California’s port, food processing, manufacturing, and regional distribution network. With direct access to the Port of Oakland, I-880, I-580, I-80, nearby intermodal rail yards, and freight corridors linking Oakland to Silicon Valley, the Central Valley, Sacramento, and national distribution lanes, the region moves massive volumes of palletized freight every day. Import/export operations, food and beverage distribution, industrial manufacturing, and third-party logistics depend on consistent pallet builds to keep cargo moving efficiently through the Bay Area.
In Oakland’s port-driven logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy loads, vibration, moisture, load shifting, and repeated handling across marine terminals, rail yards, warehouses, and long-haul trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces pallet integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across port-based and West Coast supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to port-adjacent operations, importers, food processors, manufacturers, warehouses, and distribution centers throughout Oakland and the surrounding East Bay. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in high-volume, high-cycle port environments.

Oakland Case Study
An Oakland-area importer experienced pallet shifting and carton damage during port-to-DC transfers when pallets were built directly on wood pallets. After switching to CPP pallet trays, pallet builds became more uniform, handling damage declined, and outbound freight reliability improved across Northern California routes.
