Fort Collins sits along Colorado’s Front Range and serves as a fast-growing hub for advanced manufacturing, food and beverage production, bioscience, technology, and regional distribution. The city supports significant volumes of craft beverage production, food processing, medical and biotech supplies, consumer goods, outdoor-equipment manufacturing, and regional e-commerce fulfillment serving Northern Colorado, the Denver metro, and surrounding Mountain West states. With direct access to I-25, US-287, nearby rail corridors, and freight routes connecting Fort Collins to Denver, Greeley, Loveland, Cheyenne, and national distribution networks, the region moves large quantities of packaged goods every day.
Fort Collins’ operating environment—wide elevation-driven temperature swings, cold winters, dry air, intense sun exposure, snow events, warehouse temperature fluctuations, forklift-intensive handling, and long-haul interstate trucking—creates demanding conditions for corrugated packaging. Kraft boxes used along the Front Range must withstand cold-weather brittleness, dryness-related cracking, heat-stressed adhesives, compression loads from pallet stacking, abrasion from conveyors, and vibration across mountain and plains freight routes.
Custom Packaging Products supplies truckload quantities of Kraft boxes to food and beverage producers, manufacturers, medical suppliers, consumer-goods companies, and fulfillment operations throughout Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. Our corrugated packaging is engineered for seasonal stability, compression strength, and reliable performance in high-altitude Mountain West logistics environments.
