Charleston is one of the Southeast’s most important port-driven logistics, manufacturing, food distribution, and e-commerce hubs. With direct access to the Port of Charleston, I-26, I-526, US-17, CSX and Norfolk Southern rail networks, Charleston International Airport cargo operations, and freight corridors linking Charleston to Columbia, Greenville-Spartanburg, Savannah, Atlanta, and national distribution lanes, the region moves massive volumes of palletized freight every day. Port-adjacent warehouses and manufacturers rely on consistent pallet builds to manage container unloading, export staging, and high-velocity regional distribution.
In Charleston’s hot, humid, salt-air logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy pallet weights, vibration, compression, moisture, heat, and constant handling across port terminals, warehouses, food facilities, manufacturing plants, and long-haul trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces pallet integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across coastal and national supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to importers, exporters, food and beverage distributors, manufacturers, warehouses, and 3PLs throughout Charleston and the Lowcountry. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in extreme-throughput, port-adjacent operating environments.

Charleston Case Study
A Lowcountry export distributor experienced pallet shifting and carton deformation during container loading when pallets were built directly on mixed-quality wood pallets. After switching to CPP pallet trays, pallet bases became more uniform, moisture-related movement declined, and outbound freight damage was reduced across domestic and international routes.
