Akron sits at the center of Northeast Ohio’s manufacturing, polymer, chemical, food processing, and regional distribution economy. With direct access to I-76, I-77, I-80 (Ohio Turnpike), CSX and Norfolk Southern rail lines, and freight corridors connecting Akron to Cleveland, Canton, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, and Midwest distribution lanes, the region moves steady volumes of palletized freight every day. Manufacturing plants, chemical suppliers, and regional distribution centers rely on consistent pallet builds to protect product, maintain throughput, and control freight damage.
In Akron’s high-handling, four-season logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy pallet weights, vibration, compression, humidity, temperature swings, and frequent handling across manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and long-haul trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces load integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across Ohio and Midwest supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to manufacturers, polymer and chemical producers, food and beverage distributors, warehouses, and 3PLs throughout Akron and Northeast Ohio. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in demanding, high-throughput operating environments.

Akron Case Study
A Northeast Ohio polymer manufacturer experienced pallet shifting and container damage during winter shipments when pallets were built directly on mixed-quality wood pallets. After switching to CPP pallet trays, pallet bases became more uniform, temperature-related movement declined, and outbound freight damage was reduced across Midwest distribution routes.
