Newport News sits at the core of the Hampton Roads region—one of the East Coast’s most important port, shipbuilding, defense, and logistics hubs. With direct access to I-64, US-17, US-60, Class I rail, and close proximity to the Port of Virginia, Newport News Shipbuilding, and major naval and defense facilities, the region supports steady volumes of palletized freight across shipbuilding, aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and regional distribution networks. Protecting palletized goods from compression, vibration, abrasion, and load shifting is essential in this port-driven, high-handling logistics environment.
Newport News’ operating conditions—including coastal humidity, heavy industrial pallet weights, dense warehouse stacking, and frequent regional and interstate freight handling—place continuous demands on protective packaging materials. Honeycomb pads used across Newport News must deliver dependable compression strength, lightweight performance, and consistent load distribution for shipyards, defense contractors, warehouses, and distribution centers serving Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk quantities of honeycomb pads to shipbuilding suppliers, defense contractors, manufacturers, third-party logistics providers, warehouses, and distribution centers throughout Newport News and the greater Hampton Roads area. Our honeycomb pads are engineered to provide lightweight strength, pallet stability, and damage prevention in demanding coastal and defense-oriented logistics environments.
