Newport News is a major shipbuilding, manufacturing, and regional logistics hub in Virginia’s Hampton Roads region. Positioned along I-64 with access to I-664, major rail corridors, deepwater port facilities, and proximity to Norfolk International Terminals, Newport News supports shipbuilding and defense manufacturing, aerospace supply chains, food and beverage distribution, paper and packaging, and Mid-Atlantic regional fulfillment. Facilities across Newport News, Hampton, and surrounding Peninsula industrial corridors operate in schedule-driven environments where freight efficiency and dock throughput are critical.
In Newport News’ port-adjacent manufacturing and distribution environment, companies face constant pressure to control freight costs, improve trailer utilization, and move materials efficiently through secure and space-constrained facilities. Traditional wood pallets add unnecessary shipping weight, consume valuable warehouse space, and generate ongoing repair and disposal costs. Plastic slip sheets provide a lightweight, low-profile alternative that supports faster handling and lower total freight cost across Newport News–area supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk plastic slip sheets to manufacturers, processors, distributors, and logistics facilities throughout Newport News and the greater Hampton Roads region. Our slip sheets are engineered for durability, consistency, and dependable performance in demanding coastal and industrial operating conditions.
