Norfolk is one of the East Coast’s most important port-driven logistics hubs, supporting military supply chains, food and beverage distribution, shipbuilding, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, industrial manufacturing, and high-volume regional warehousing. Anchored by the Port of Virginia—the deepest container port on the East Coast—Norfolk has direct access to I-64, I-264, I-564, US-460, CSX and Norfolk Southern rail, Norfolk International Terminals, and freight corridors connecting Hampton Roads to Richmond, Raleigh, Washington DC, and the Mid-Atlantic.
Norfolk’s coastal environment—high humidity, frequent rain, salt-air exposure, hot summers, mild but damp winters, and constant dock-to-warehouse temperature transitions—creates demanding conditions for corrugated packaging. Kraft boxes used in Hampton Roads must withstand moisture absorption, salt-air degradation, adhesive stress, forklift abrasion, tall pallet stacking, and vibration across truck, rail, and maritime logistics.
Custom Packaging Products supplies truckload quantities of Kraft boxes to port operators, military contractors, food processors, beverage distributors, pharmaceutical companies, medical suppliers, shipyards, industrial manufacturers, and e-commerce fulfillment centers throughout Norfolk and the Hampton Roads region. Our corrugated packaging is engineered for moisture resistance, coastal durability, and reliable stacking performance in port-intensive logistics environments.
