Des Moines is one of the most important inland logistics, manufacturing, and regional distribution hubs in the Upper Midwest. Centrally located within Iowa and positioned between major Midwestern population centers, Des Moines serves as a strategic distribution point for freight moving north–south and east–west across the central United States. Anchored by Interstate 35, Interstate 80, I-235, major Union Pacific and BNSF rail corridors, and proximity to Des Moines International Airport, the region supports high-volume freight movement across agriculture, food processing, consumer goods, industrial manufacturing, and regional retail distribution.

Facilities operating throughout Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Altoona, Urbandale, Johnston, and surrounding Polk County industrial corridors function in throughput-driven, cost-conscious environments. Palletized freight commonly includes agricultural products, packaged foods, beverages, animal feed, paper goods, building materials, consumer packaged goods, industrial components, and retail inventory. High pallet densities, mixed-SKU pallet builds, seasonal agricultural surges, and long-haul distribution routes place sustained pressure on palletized loads. Temperature swings, humidity fluctuations, and extended transit distances further increase the need for dependable pallet reinforcement and layer separation materials that maintain consistent performance across variable Midwestern conditions.

Corrugated fiberboard plays a critical role in Des Moines-area logistics by providing a lightweight, cost-effective solution for pallet reinforcement, layer separation, top-load protection, and unit load stabilization. For Des Moines facilities balancing agricultural shipping cycles, manufacturing output, and multi-state freight lanes, corrugated fiberboard is a foundational packaging material that supports pallet integrity, reduces damage, and ensures predictable outbound performance.

Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk corrugated fiberboard sheets to manufacturers, processors, distributors, warehouses, and third-party logistics providers throughout the Des Moines metropolitan area and central Iowa. Our corrugated fiberboard is engineered for consistent strength, flatness, and reliable performance in demanding, high-throughput Midwestern distribution environments.

Des Moines Case Example

A central Iowa food distributor experienced recurring pallet compression issues during peak harvest season shipments to southern markets. Inconsistent layer separation materials contributed to pallet instability under dense stacking and long-haul transit.
