Richmond is one of the Mid-Atlantic’s most important logistics, manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceutical, and distribution hubs. Strategically positioned along I-95 and I-64, Richmond supports food and beverage production, medical and pharmaceutical distribution, consumer goods manufacturing, industrial operations, and growing e-commerce fulfillment. With access to CSX and Norfolk Southern rail, Richmond International Airport, nearby Port of Virginia terminals, and freight corridors connecting Richmond to Washington DC, Norfolk, Raleigh, and the broader East Coast supply chain, the region moves high volumes of packaged goods year-round.
Richmond’s environment—high humidity, seasonal heat, frequent rain, and constant dock-to-warehouse temperature transitions—creates real challenges for corrugated packaging. Kraft boxes used in Central Virginia must withstand moisture absorption, adhesive softening, compression loss, forklift abrasion, tall pallet stacking, and vibration across dense interstate freight routes.
Custom Packaging Products supplies truckload quantities of Kraft boxes to food processors, beverage distributors, pharmaceutical companies, medical suppliers, manufacturers, consumer-goods brands, and e-commerce fulfillment centers throughout Richmond and the surrounding Central Virginia logistics corridor. Our corrugated packaging is engineered for moisture resistance, compression strength, and dependable performance in Mid-Atlantic distribution environments.
