Minneapolis sits at the center of the Upper Midwest’s food processing, medical device manufacturing, industrial production, and regional distribution network. With direct access to I-94, I-35, I-394, major rail hubs, and freight corridors linking Minneapolis–St. Paul to Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, Fargo, and national distribution lanes, the region moves large volumes of palletized freight every day. Food manufacturers, medical suppliers, consumer goods producers, and major distribution centers depend on consistent pallet builds to maintain throughput and reduce damage.
In Minneapolis’ cold-weather logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy loads, vibration, compression, temperature swings, and repeated handling across manufacturing facilities, cold storage, warehouses, and long-haul trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces pallet integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across Upper Midwest supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to food processors, medical device manufacturers, industrial operations, warehouses, and distribution centers throughout Minneapolis and the surrounding metro area. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in high-volume, temperature-variable environments.

Minneapolis Case Study
A Minneapolis-area food manufacturer experienced pallet shifting and carton damage during winter Midwest shipments when pallets were built directly on wood pallets. After switching to CPP pallet trays, pallet builds became more uniform, load movement declined, and outbound freight consistency improved despite cold-weather handling conditions.
