Hampton sits within the Hampton Roads region—one of the East Coast’s most strategic logistics, defense, aerospace, shipbuilding, food distribution, and port-driven supply chain hubs. With direct access to I-64, I-664, US-17, proximity to the Port of Virginia (Norfolk International Terminals, Portsmouth Marine Terminal), CSX and Norfolk Southern rail networks, nearby Newport News Shipbuilding, Langley–Eustis military installations, and freight corridors linking Hampton to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Richmond, and national distribution lanes, the region moves significant volumes of palletized freight every day. Tidewater operations rely on consistent pallet builds to support port transfers, military supply chains, and high-frequency regional distribution.
In Hampton’s coastal, high-handling logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy pallet weights, vibration, compression, humidity, salt air, and constant handling across shipyards, defense suppliers, warehouses, food distributors, and long-haul trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces pallet integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across coastal Virginia and national supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to defense contractors, aerospace suppliers, food and beverage distributors, manufacturers, warehouses, and 3PLs throughout Hampton and the greater Hampton Roads region. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in port-adjacent, high-throughput operating environments.

Hampton Case Study
A Hampton Roads defense supplier experienced pallet shifting and carton damage during port-bound and base-delivery shipments when pallets were built directly on mixed-quality wood pallets. After switching to CPP pallet trays, pallet bases became more uniform, humidity-related movement declined, and outbound freight damage was reduced across military and port distribution routes.
