Charleston is one of the Southeast’s most important port, manufacturing, and regional distribution hubs. Anchored by the Port of Charleston—one of the fastest-growing container ports in the United States—the city supports massive volumes of import/export freight, automotive and aerospace manufacturing, food and beverage distribution, medical supplies, consumer goods, and e-commerce fulfillment serving the Carolinas and national markets. With direct access to I-26, I-526, US-17, CSX and Norfolk Southern rail, inland port connections, and freight corridors linking Charleston to Savannah, Columbia, Charlotte, Atlanta, and the broader Southeast, the region moves enormous quantities of packaged goods every day.
Charleston’s operating environment—high coastal humidity, salt-air exposure, extreme summer heat, frequent rain, warehouse condensation, forklift-intensive handling, and nonstop port-to-warehouse trucking—creates severe demands on corrugated packaging. Kraft boxes used in coastal South Carolina must withstand moisture exposure, heat-softened adhesives, compression stress from tall pallet stacking, abrasion from conveyors, and vibration across some of the busiest port freight routes in the Southeast.
Custom Packaging Products supplies truckload quantities of Kraft boxes to port operators, automotive and aerospace suppliers, food distributors, medical suppliers, and fulfillment operations throughout Charleston and the Lowcountry. Our corrugated packaging is engineered for moisture resistance, compression strength, and reliable performance in high-velocity, port-centric logistics environments.
