Sterling Heights sits at the center of Macomb County’s automotive, defense, advanced manufacturing, and Midwest distribution network. With direct access to M-59, M-53, I-75, nearby I-696 and I-94 corridors, proximity to Detroit Metro Airport cargo operations, Class I rail service throughout Southeast Michigan, and freight routes linking Sterling Heights to Detroit, Warren, Toledo, Chicago, and national Midwest distribution lanes, the region moves heavy volumes of palletized freight every day. Automotive OEMs, Tier suppliers, and defense manufacturers depend on consistent pallet builds to protect precision components and maintain tightly scheduled production and shipping cycles.
In Sterling Heights’ high-handling, four-season industrial logistics environment, palletized goods are exposed to extreme pallet weights, vibration, compression, winter freeze–thaw cycles, humidity, and constant handling across automotive plants, defense facilities, 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 Michigan and national supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk pallet trays to automotive OEMs and Tier suppliers, defense contractors, manufacturers, warehouses, and 3PLs throughout Sterling Heights and Macomb County. Our pallet trays are engineered to improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient palletized freight movement in heavy-duty, high-throughput industrial environments.
