San Bernardino is one of the most critical inland logistics, manufacturing, and distribution hubs in the Western United States. Located at the heart of the Inland Empire, San Bernardino serves as a primary gateway between the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and inland markets across California, the Southwest, and the broader United States. Anchored by I-10, I-15, I-215, SR-210, major BNSF and Union Pacific rail corridors, intermodal rail yards, and proximity to San Bernardino International Airport and Ontario International Airport, the region supports some of the highest freight volumes in North America. San Bernardino’s logistics infrastructure is built for scale, speed, and nonstop throughput.
Facilities operating throughout San Bernardino, Rialto, Colton, Redlands, Fontana, Bloomington, and surrounding Inland Empire industrial corridors function in high-velocity, cost-sensitive environments. Palletized freight commonly includes consumer packaged goods, food and beverage products, e-commerce inventory, electronics, furniture, appliances, building materials, apparel, and import freight transloaded from marine containers. Dense pallet stacking, frequent transloading, mixed-SKU pallet builds, and long-haul inland distribution place sustained pressure on palletized loads. Extreme summer heat, low humidity, dust exposure, and constant material handling further increase the importance of dependable pallet reinforcement and layer separation materials that maintain performance under harsh desert-adjacent conditions.
Corrugated fiberboard plays a critical role in San Bernardino-area logistics by providing a lightweight, cost-effective solution for pallet reinforcement, layer separation, top-load protection, and unit load stabilization. For San Bernardino facilities balancing port overflow volumes, extreme throughput demands, and long inland distribution routes, corrugated fiberboard is a foundational packaging material supporting consistent, predictable performance across some of the most demanding supply chains in the country.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk corrugated fiberboard sheets to manufacturers, importers, exporters, e-commerce fulfillment centers, retailers, food and beverage distributors, and third-party logistics providers throughout the San Bernardino metropolitan area. Our corrugated fiberboard is engineered for consistent strength, flatness, and reliable performance in demanding, high-heat Inland Empire logistics environments.

-
Recyclable fiber construction aligned with sustainability and retailer requirements
Packaging & Shipping Challenges in the San Bernardino / Inland Empire Region
Facilities across San Bernardino and the Inland Empire commonly face:
-
Extremely high inbound container volumes from West Coast ports
-
Dense pallet stacking to maximize warehouse, trailer, and container utilization
-
Frequent pallet rebuilding during transloading and cross-docking
-
Mixed-SKU pallets feeding multiple regions from single DCs
-
Extreme summer heat affecting carton and pallet performance
-
Long inland freight routes to Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, and beyond
-
Pressure to reduce packaging cost per pallet while minimizing damage
Without dependable pallet reinforcement and layer separation, these challenges can lead to pallet deformation, carton collapse, load shifting, and increased damage—directly impacting throughput, retailer chargebacks, and operating margins.
How CPP Corrugated Fiberboard Addresses These Needs
Custom Packaging Products supplies corrugated fiberboard designed specifically for San Bernardino-area distribution and manufacturing environments:
-
Single-wall and multi-layer constructions engineered for predictable compression performance
-
Uniform board quality that maintains consistent pallet height and stacking integrity
-
Flat, clean sheets compatible with automated palletizing and manual dock operations
-
Custom sheet sizes to match pallets, cartons, trailers, containers, and racking systems
-
Economical performance at truckload volumes to support nonstop, high-velocity operations
CPP corrugated fiberboard helps San Bernardino facilities stabilize pallet loads, reduce heat-related damage, improve handling efficiency, and maintain reliable outbound performance across Inland Empire, Southwest, and national freight lanes.

San Bernardino Case Example
A San Bernardino-based retail distributor experienced recurring pallet collapse during summer shipments to Arizona and Nevada. Inconsistent layer separation materials softened under extreme heat and dense stacking, leading to unstable pallet builds and increased damage claims.
After switching to CPP truckload-supplied corrugated fiberboard, the operation improved pallet rigidity, reduced heat-related damage, and stabilized outbound shipments. Packaging costs per pallet decreased while throughput and delivery reliability improved.
