St. Louis sits at the center of one of the Midwest’s most important manufacturing, food processing, chemical, and inland distribution networks. With direct access to I-70, I-44, I-55, I-64, multiple Class I railroads, Lambert International Airport, and the Mississippi River barge system, St. Louis serves as a major crossroads linking the Midwest, South, and national distribution lanes. Food processors, chemical producers, manufacturers, and distribution centers rely on consistent pallet builds to protect freight moving through complex multimodal supply chains.
In St. Louis’ high-volume inland logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to heavy loads, vibration, compression, load shifting, humidity, and frequent handling across manufacturing plants, warehouses, rail-served facilities, and long-haul trucking routes. Pallet trays provide a rigid, uniform pallet base that reinforces pallet integrity, contains products, and improves handling consistency across Midwest and Mississippi River distribution networks.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to food processors, chemical manufacturers, industrial operations, warehouses, and distribution centers throughout St. Louis and the surrounding metro area. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in demanding, high-throughput environments.

St. Louis Case Study
A St. Louis–area chemical distributor experienced pallet shifting and carton damage during rail-to-truck transfers 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 across Midwest routes.
