If you’re in O’Fallon, Missouri and you’re tired of paying “death by a thousand cuts” every time your warehouse ships a pallet… this page is for you.
Because here’s what most people don’t realize until it’s too late:
Slip sheets aren’t “just a thin piece of material.” They’re a leverage tool.
They cut shipping cost. They cut storage footprint. They speed up loading. They reduce packaging waste. They help you ship more product with less headache… and with the right setup, they can quietly save a company thousands per month without anyone needing to “work harder.”
But only if you buy the right slip sheets… for the right application… from a supplier who actually understands how your operation moves.
That’s what Custom Packaging Products does.
Let’s get one thing straight:
If you’re searching “Slip Sheets O’Fallon, MO,” you’re not doing it for fun.
You’ve got pallets moving. You’ve got freight bills that keep rising. You’ve got dock time that costs real money. You’ve got a team that needs to move faster without breaking product (or backs).
And you’re probably dealing with at least one of these problems:
-
Pallets are taking up too much space in your warehouse.
-
Your outbound freight costs keep creeping up.
-
You’re tired of paying for wood you throw away.
-
You need to container-load more efficiently.
-
You’re shipping to customers who prefer slip sheets over pallets.
-
You’re exporting and need cleaner, lighter, more compliant load handling.
Slip sheets solve those problems—when they’re sized correctly, specced correctly, and paired with the right handling method.
What Are Slip Sheets (And Why Do Smart Warehouses Use Them)?
A slip sheet is a thin sheet—usually kraft paper, corrugated fiberboard, laminated board, or plastic—that sits under a unitized load.
Instead of lifting a pallet with forks… you pull the load using a push/pull attachment on a forklift (or other material handling equipment), grabbing onto “tabs” (also called lips) on the slip sheet.
That’s the whole game.
And the payoff is ridiculous when the application fits:
1) You ship more product per truck.
Pallets add height and weight. Slip sheets don’t.
That means you can often fit more units in a trailer or container, and you reduce “dead space” that you’re paying for but not using.
2) You cut packaging waste.
Wood pallets break. They splinter. They get tossed. They get rejected.
Slip sheets are cleaner, lighter, and often considered a better option for certain customers and export lanes.
3) You save warehouse space.
Pallets take up space—both as inventory and in staging.
Slip sheets stack flat. You can store a ton of them in the footprint of a small corner.
4) You speed up certain workflows.
When your system is built for it (and your loads are consistent), slip sheets can streamline container stuffing, export loading, and customer delivery requirements.
The keyword is consistent.
We’re not here to “hope” they work.
We’re here to spec them so they work.

Slip Sheets for O’Fallon, MO Businesses: Who Uses Them?
If you’re in O’Fallon, you’re in one of the most logistics-friendly regions in the Midwest. You’ve got distribution, manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping operations that need efficiency.
Slip sheets are commonly used by:
-
Food & beverage manufacturers
-
Consumer packaged goods (CPG) shippers
-
Paper goods and tissue suppliers
-
Chemical and industrial manufacturers
-
Automotive and parts distribution
-
Retail distribution centers

If your loads are stable, uniform, and repeated… slip sheets can be a cheat code.
If your loads are irregular and chaotic… we’ll tell you that too.
Because the goal isn’t to sell you something.
The goal is to save you money and make your shipping operation smoother.
Types of Slip Sheets We Supply
Most buyers think “slip sheet is slip sheet.”
That’s how they end up with torn tabs, sagging loads, product damage, and a forklift operator cussing your name.
Here are the most common types:
Kraft Paper Slip Sheets
Best for lighter to moderate loads and dry environments.
They’re cost-effective, disposable, and great for one-way shipments when customers don’t want pallets returned.
Corrugated Slip Sheets
More rigidity and strength than kraft paper.
Great when you need additional support, stiffness, or protection, and when the load needs more structure under it.
Laminated Slip Sheets
These are typically paper-based sheets with a moisture-resistant layer.
If humidity, condensation, or environmental exposure is a concern, laminated can be the difference between smooth pulls and ripped tabs.
Plastic Slip Sheets
Durable, reusable, and stronger for demanding environments.
They’re common in closed-loop systems, heavier loads, or when moisture and repeated handling would destroy paper-based sheets.
The “Lip” (Tab) Matters More Than Most People Think
The slip sheet is only as good as its lip.
Because the lip is what your push/pull grabs.
If it’s too short, too weak, or incorrectly oriented… you’ll have tearing, slipping, and operator frustration.
Common configurations include:
-
1 lip (single direction pull)
-
2 lips (two-direction handling)
-
3 or 4 lips (multi-direction handling, special workflows)
We’ll ask how your loads move through the warehouse and what direction you need to pull. Then we spec the lips so your equipment and your team can actually use them without “figuring it out” on the fly.
The Push/Pull Question (Don’t Skip This)
A slip sheet program usually depends on having push/pull attachments—or a plan to handle slip sheets correctly.
If you already have push/pull, perfect.
If you don’t, you still may use slip sheets in certain workflows (especially export/container loads), but you need to be honest about your handling method.
We’ll help you figure out:
-
Whether slip sheets make sense for your operation
-
What material type fits your load and environment
-
What thickness and grade you need
-
What lip configuration you need
-
What size you need based on your pallet footprint and overhang
-
Whether your forklift setup supports this smoothly
This is where most suppliers fail.
They sell you “a sheet.”
We build you a system.
