Newport News sits at the center of Hampton Roads’ shipbuilding, defense, aerospace, manufacturing, port-driven logistics, and regional distribution economy. With direct access to I-64, US-17, US-60, nearby Port of Virginia terminals, CSX and Norfolk Southern rail service, barge access via the James River, and freight corridors linking Newport News to Norfolk, Portsmouth, Richmond, Washington, DC, and East Coast distribution lanes, the region moves steady volumes of palletized freight every day. Defense contractors, shipyards, manufacturers, and distribution centers rely on consistent pallet builds to protect high-value cargo and maintain throughput across domestic and international routes.
In Newport News’ high-handling, coastal logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy pallet weights, vibration, compression, humidity, salt air, and constant handling across shipyards, ports, 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 Virginia and East Coast supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to shipbuilding operations, defense contractors, aerospace suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and 3PLs throughout Newport News and the Hampton Roads region. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in moisture-exposed, extreme-throughput operating environments.
