Chicago is one of America’s most important transportation and manufacturing centers, powered by O’Hare and Midway air cargo, major rail hubs, the I-55/I-90/I-94 freight corridors, vast cold-storage and food-processing facilities, advanced manufacturing, chemical distribution, and the massive Chicagoland warehousing ecosystem spanning Joliet, Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Elk Grove Village, and Alsip. With extreme temperature swings, high humidity, heavy forklift traffic, and constant LTL/FTL movement, pallet stability is essential. Tier sheets help prevent load shifting, product abrasion, crushing, and contamination during storage and transit throughout the Midwest.
Custom Packaging Products supplies bulk tier sheets to food processors, beverage bottlers, cold-storage warehouses, pharmaceutical distributors, chemical suppliers, industrial manufacturers, consumer-goods companies, and high-volume e-commerce and 3PL centers across Chicago and the entire Chicagoland industrial region. Our tier sheets are engineered to withstand Midwest humidity, freezer transitions, rail vibration, and high-throughput warehouse operations.
