Grand Rapids is a major manufacturing, food processing, and regional distribution hub in West Michigan. Positioned along I-96 with access to I-196, U.S. Route 131, Class I rail corridors, and efficient routes to Chicago, Detroit, and Great Lakes markets, the region supports furniture manufacturing, food and beverage processing, plastics, consumer goods, and Midwest regional fulfillment. Facilities across Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, and Kent County industrial corridors operate in high-volume, efficiency-driven environments where freight cost control and dock throughput are critical.
In Grand Rapids’ manufacturing and distribution landscape, companies face constant pressure to reduce freight weight, improve trailer utilization, and manage space—often within legacy facilities tied to long-established industries. Traditional wood pallets add unnecessary weight, occupy valuable warehouse space, and create repair and disposal costs. Plastic slip sheets provide a lightweight, low-profile alternative that supports faster handling and lower total freight cost across Grand Rapids–area supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk plastic slip sheets to manufacturers, processors, distributors, and logistics facilities throughout Grand Rapids and West Michigan. Our slip sheets are engineered for durability, consistency, and dependable performance in demanding Midwest operating conditions.
