Norfolk sits at the center of Hampton Roads—one of the most important port, military, shipbuilding, food distribution, and East Coast logistics hubs in the United States. With direct access to the Port of Virginia (Norfolk International Terminals), I-64, I-264, I-664, Class I rail, major naval facilities, and freight corridors linking Norfolk to Richmond, Washington DC, Raleigh, and Northeast distribution lanes, the region moves massive volumes of palletized freight every day. Port operators, military contractors, food distributors, and regional DCs depend on consistent pallet builds to keep freight flowing through high-security, high-throughput environments.
In Norfolk’s coastal, port-driven logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy loads, vibration, compression, humidity, salt air, and frequent handling across marine terminals, warehouses, shipyards, and long-haul trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces pallet integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across East Coast and global distribution networks.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to port operators, military suppliers, food and beverage distributors, warehouses, and distribution centers throughout Norfolk and the greater Hampton Roads region. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in demanding coastal and port-adjacent operating conditions.

Norfolk Case Study
A Hampton Roads food importer experienced pallet shifting and carton damage during port-to-DC transfers when pallets were built directly on wood pallets. After switching to CPP pallet trays, pallet builds became more uniform, handling damage declined, and outbound freight velocity improved along East Coast routes.
