Aurora sits at the heart of the Chicago metropolitan area’s manufacturing, food processing, automotive supply, and regional distribution economy. With direct access to I-88, I-80, I-90, Route 30, major BNSF and Union Pacific rail corridors, and freight routes linking Aurora to Chicago, Rockford, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and national Midwest distribution lanes, the region moves massive volumes of palletized freight every day. Chicago-area manufacturers, warehouses, and 3PLs depend on consistent pallet builds to protect product, maintain throughput, and control freight damage.
In Aurora’s high-velocity Midwest logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy pallet weights, vibration, compression, seasonal temperature swings, humidity, and frequent handling across manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and long-haul trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces load integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across Chicagoland and national supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to manufacturers, food and beverage distributors, automotive suppliers, warehouses, and 3PLs throughout Aurora and the greater Chicago metro area. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in demanding, high-throughput operating environments.

Aurora Case Study
A Chicagoland automotive supplier experienced pallet shifting and carton 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.
