Des Moines sits at the center of Iowa’s agricultural, food processing, and regional distribution network, serving as a critical logistics hub for the Midwest. With direct access to I-35, I-80, I-235, major rail connections, and trucking routes linking Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, and St. Louis, Des Moines supports high volumes of palletized freight moving across agricultural, industrial, and consumer supply chains. Protecting palletized goods from compression, vibration, abrasion, and load shifting is essential in this high-throughput, long-haul freight environment.
Des Moines’ operating conditions—including heavy agricultural loads, seasonal temperature extremes, dense warehouse stacking, and long interstate transit—place consistent demands on protective packaging materials. Honeycomb pads used across Des Moines must deliver dependable compression strength, lightweight performance, and uniform load distribution for manufacturing plants, warehouses, and distribution centers operating throughout the Midwest.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk quantities of honeycomb pads to agricultural processors, food manufacturers, third-party logistics providers, warehouses, and distribution centers throughout Des Moines and Central Iowa. Our honeycomb pads are engineered to provide lightweight strength, pallet stability, and damage prevention in demanding Midwestern logistics environments.
