Akron is a long-established manufacturing, industrial, and regional distribution hub in Northeast Ohio. Positioned along I-76, I-77, and within efficient reach of I-80/Ohio Turnpike, major rail corridors, and Great Lakes markets, Akron supports rubber and plastics manufacturing, chemicals, food processing, consumer goods, and Midwest–Northeast regional distribution. Facilities across Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, and Summit County industrial corridors operate in efficiency-driven environments where freight cost control and dock throughput are critical.
In Akron’s manufacturing and distribution landscape, companies face pressure to reduce shipping weight, improve trailer utilization, and manage space—often within legacy facilities. Traditional wood pallets add unnecessary weight, occupy valuable floor space, and create repair and disposal costs. Plastic slip sheets provide a lightweight, low-profile alternative that supports faster handling and lower total freight cost across Akron-area supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk plastic slip sheets to manufacturers, processors, distributors, and logistics facilities throughout Akron and Northeast Ohio. Our slip sheets are engineered for durability, consistency, and dependable performance in demanding Midwest operating conditions.
