🚚 Save BIG on Truckload orders!

If you’re in Johns Creek, Georgia and you’re searching for slip sheets right now… it’s not because you woke up craving “thin sheets of packaging material.”

It’s because something in your operation is costing too much… taking up too much space… moving too slow… or getting rejected by customers who don’t want pallets.

And you’re done playing games.

You want a cleaner, faster, cheaper way to move unit loads—without stacking more problems on top of your freight bill.

That’s exactly what slip sheets can do… when they’re specced correctly.

Let’s talk real for a second.

Most businesses don’t “accidentally” end up looking for slip sheets.

It usually happens after one of these painful moments:

• A big customer says, “No pallets… ship it on slip sheets.”

• Your shipping manager looks at the freight bill and realizes you’re paying for air and wood.

• You’re trying to fit more product into each trailer or container and pallets are killing your cube.

• Your warehouse is drowning in pallet stacks and staging space is disappearing.

• Someone up top says, “We need to cut costs without cutting volume,” and suddenly every line item gets interrogated.

Slip sheets are one of the few packaging moves that can actually create meaningful savings without making the operation more complicated.

But here’s the catch:

Slip sheets are either a cheat code… or a disaster.

The difference is specification.

What Are Slip Sheets (In Plain English)?

A slip sheet is a thin, flat sheet—usually kraft paper, corrugated fiberboard, laminated board, or plastic—that sits under your product load.

Instead of lifting the load with fork tines under a wooden pallet…

A forklift with a push/pull attachment grabs the slip sheet by its tab (also called a “lip”) and pulls the entire load onto the forks.

So you move product with less bulk, less weight, and less wasted space.

That’s the whole concept.

And when it fits your workflow, the benefits stack up fast.

Why Johns Creek Operations Use Slip Sheets

Johns Creek sits in a high-demand corridor for distribution and commerce across North Georgia. Even if your facility is just outside the city line, you’re still dealing with the same pressures everyone else is dealing with:

• Rising freight costs

• Tight warehouse space

• Faster ship times

• Customers that have strict receiving standards

• Procurement teams pushed to squeeze every supplier

Slip sheets help you win in that environment because they can reduce cost per shipment and increase how efficiently you ship and store product.

Here’s how.

1) Lower shipping weight

Pallets weigh a lot. Even “light” pallets add up across repeated shipments.

Slip sheets weigh almost nothing by comparison.

That can reduce freight cost depending on your carrier, lane, and shipment profile.

2) Better cube utilization

Pallets steal vertical and horizontal space.

Slip sheets are thin. Loads can sit lower. You can sometimes fit more units per trailer or container.

That’s direct money.

3) Less storage footprint

Pallets take up room even when they’re empty.

Slip sheets stack flat.

You can store a large quantity in the space that would normally get eaten alive by pallet inventory.

4) Cleaner shipments for certain customers

Some industries and receivers don’t want pallets coming in—especially if pallets are inconsistent, damaged, or not part of their preferred handling system.

Slip sheets often simplify receiving requirements.

Who Slip Sheets Are Perfect For (And Who Should Avoid Them)

Slip sheets are a dream if:

• Your loads are uniform and repeatable

• You ship high volume

• You’re container loading or exporting

• Your customer prefers slip sheets

• Your operation can support push/pull handling

• You’re tired of pallet expenses and pallet headaches

Slip sheets are NOT ideal if:

• Your loads are unstable, irregular, or constantly changing

• You don’t have a realistic handling method (or willingness to build one)

• You’re shipping low-volume one-off loads where pallets are simpler

• Your product needs the rigidity of a pallet for protection

A real supplier will tell you the truth here.

Custom Packaging Products doesn’t win by “selling you something you don’t need.”

We win by saving you money and making your shipping smoother—because that’s what keeps big accounts coming back.

The Materials: Choosing the Right Slip Sheet Type

Most slip sheet problems come from one thing:

Someone bought the wrong material.

They treated slip sheets like they’re interchangeable.

They’re not.

Here are the most common types, and what they’re best for:

Kraft Paper Slip Sheets

Great for dry environments and moderate load requirements.

They’re economical, widely used, and ideal for one-way shipments where you want cost control.

Corrugated Slip Sheets

More rigidity and strength than kraft.

Better when you need stiffness and a bit more structural support under the load, especially with certain product footprints.

Laminated Slip Sheets

Paper-based sheets with moisture resistance.

If humidity, condensation, or environmental exposure is a concern, laminated can prevent sagging and tearing.

Plastic Slip Sheets

Durable and often reusable.

Ideal for tougher conditions, heavier loads, or closed-loop systems where slip sheets cycle back.

Plastic can cost more upfront, but it can pay off in the right workflow.

The “Tab” (Lip) Is the Hidden Money Maker

Everyone thinks the slip sheet is the sheet.

Nope.

The slip sheet is the lip.

Because the lip is what your equipment grabs.

Get it wrong and you’ll see:

• Tabs ripping

• Loads sliding

• Operators fighting it

• Slowdowns on the dock

• Product damage that “mysteriously” starts happening

Slip sheet lips come in different setups:

• 1 lip (pull from one direction)

• 2 lips (two-direction handling)

• 3–4 lips (multi-direction handling)

The correct lip configuration depends on your workflow.

Where do you pull from?
What direction does the load move?
How does it get staged?
How does it get loaded?

We spec the lip based on how your warehouse actually works—not based on a random default.

Do You Need a Push/Pull Attachment?

Most of the time, yes—if you want slip sheets to run smoothly.

A push/pull attachment on a forklift makes slip sheets fast and clean.

If you already have it, perfect.

If you don’t have it, slip sheets can still make sense in certain situations (like export/container workflows), but you need a real plan.

When you request a quote, we’ll help you think through:

• Handling equipment and capability

• Whether slip sheets will actually improve your process

• What changes (if any) are needed to make it work

• The simplest path to savings (without disruption)

Because the goal is not to give you “something new to manage.”

The goal is to reduce cost and improve flow.

The 7 Things We Need to Quote Slip Sheets Correctly

If you want a clean, accurate quote (and not some generic guess), here’s what helps most:

1. Load dimensions (length × width)

2. Load weight (average and max)

3. Product type (boxes, bags, pails, cases, etc.)

4. Environment (dry, cold storage, humidity, export)

5. Handling method (push/pull, manual, container loading)

6. Monthly usage (or shipment frequency)

7. Any customer requirements (specs, restrictions, preferences)

Don’t worry if you don’t have all of that.

Most people start with only 2–3 pieces of info.

That’s fine.

We’ll ask the right questions and lock the spec.

Why CPP Is Built for Bulk Buyers (And Why That Matters)

Here’s something nobody wants to admit:

A lot of suppliers are built for small orders.

They want quick little transactions.

They want to sell you “a few bundles” and move on.

That’s not us.

Custom Packaging Products is built for bulk.

That means:

• Better unit economics for buyers who purchase consistently

• Better production planning and supply reliability

• Better freight efficiency (especially on truckload)

• Better consistency in material and specs (no random surprises)

• A relationship that procurement teams can actually rely on

If you’re in Johns Creek and you need slip sheets as part of a real shipping program—not a one-time experiment—this is where you want to be.

The Bottom Line for Johns Creek Slip Sheet Buyers

Slip sheets are one of the rare packaging tools that can legitimately reduce costs while improving efficiency.

Less pallet expense.
Less wasted space.
Less dead weight.
More product shipped per load.
Cleaner workflows when specced correctly.

But only when they fit the operation.

If they fit your operation, they’re a quiet profit machine.

If they don’t, they become a dock headache.

The next step is simple:

Tell us what you’re moving, how you’re moving it, and how often.

We’ll spec the right slip sheet and quote it at bulk pricing.
