Chicago is one of the most important logistics, manufacturing, food-processing, and distribution hubs in the United States—powered by the nation’s largest rail network, nonstop freight movement across I-90, I-94, I-55, I-290, and I-294, and dense warehousing and industrial corridors throughout Chicagoland. With massive cold-storage capacity, pharmaceutical and chemical production, steel and machinery manufacturing, big-box retail distribution, and some of the country’s busiest intermodal terminals, companies across the Chicago metro rely heavily on shrink wrap to stabilize pallets, protect equipment, prevent moisture intrusion, reduce contamination, and secure shipments in one of America’s highest-volume freight markets.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk shrink wrap to manufacturing plants, food processors, intermodal facilities, chemical distributors, e-commerce fulfillment centers, warehouse operators, construction contractors, and industrial companies across Chicago, Cicero, Joliet, Naperville, Aurora, Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village, Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Gary, Hammond, and the entire Northern Illinois / Northwest Indiana region. Our shrink wrap is engineered for Chicago’s four-season climate, high-speed freight corridors, cold-storage handling, rail transport, and the demanding industrial needs of the Midwest’s largest metro area.

Chicago Case Study
A major food distributor in Bolingbrook experienced high levels of condensation damage when moving frozen and refrigerated goods between cold storage and rail distribution facilities. Moisture exposure and pallet instability were creating costly product losses.
After switching to CPP’s heavy-duty and standard shrink wrap:
- Condensation-related damage dropped by over 50%
- Pallet stability significantly improved during rail transit
- Cross-docking time decreased
- Claims decreased across multiple retail customers
The company now uses CPP shrink wrap for all outbound pallets and intermodal shipments.
