Tacoma is a major West Coast port, manufacturing, and logistics hub serving the Pacific Northwest. Anchored by the Port of Tacoma and positioned along I-5, SR-167, SR-509, and key BNSF/UP rail corridors, the region supports import/export freight, intermodal logistics, food and beverage distribution, forest products, manufacturing, and regional fulfillment. Facilities across Tacoma, Fife, Lakewood, and Pierce County industrial corridors operate in high-throughput, schedule-driven environments tied directly to port and rail activity.
In Tacoma’s port-centric logistics environment, companies are under constant pressure to reduce container weight, maximize payload, and accelerate dock-to-rail and dock-to-truck transfers. Traditional wood pallets add unnecessary weight, consume valuable yard and warehouse space, and create ongoing repair and disposal costs. Plastic slip sheets provide a lightweight, low-profile alternative that supports faster handling and lower total landed cost across Tacoma-area supply chains.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk plastic slip sheets to manufacturers, processors, distributors, and logistics facilities throughout Tacoma and the greater South Puget Sound region. Our slip sheets are engineered for durability, consistency, and dependable performance in demanding coastal logistics operations.
