Columbia sits at the geographic center of South Carolina—supporting food and beverage processing, consumer goods manufacturing, defense-related supply chains, and regional distribution serving the Carolinas and Southeast. With direct access to I-20, I-26, I-77, CSX and Norfolk Southern rail corridors, proximity to Columbia Metropolitan Airport cargo operations, and freight routes linking Columbia to Charleston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Greenville–Spartanburg, and national distribution lanes, the region moves steady volumes of palletized freight every day. Central South Carolina operations depend on consistent pallet builds to maintain speed, stability, and damage control across regional and long-haul routes.
In Columbia’s hot, humid, high-handling logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy pallet weights, vibration, compression, heat, moisture, and constant handling across food plants, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and interstate trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces pallet integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across South Carolina and Southeast supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to food and beverage distributors, manufacturers, defense suppliers, warehouses, and 3PLs throughout Columbia and the Midlands region. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in high-throughput Southeastern operating environments.

Columbia Case Study
A Midlands food distributor experienced pallet shifting and carton deformation during peak summer shipping when pallets were built directly on mixed-quality wood pallets. After switching to CPP pallet trays, pallet bases became more uniform, heat-related movement declined, and outbound freight damage was reduced across Southeast distribution routes.
