How a Tampa Citrus Exporter Cut Costs and Protected Its Produce

In the sunny groves outside Tampa Bay, a citrus exporter was preparing to send fresh oranges and grapefruits to markets across Florida and overseas. But the challenges were piling up. The region’s hot, humid summers made cardboard boxes soggy, wooden pallets absorbed moisture, and bulk shipments suffered from damage in transit to the Port of Tampa Bay. Each spoiled load meant lost revenue and disappointed buyers in Orlando, Miami, and even international markets in Europe.

That’s when they partnered with Custom Packaging Products. We supplied food-grade FIBC bulk bags with moisture-resistant liners, durable plastic pallets, and UV-resistant pallet covers to withstand Florida’s climate. We also introduced slip sheets that allowed the exporter to load more produce per container, cutting freight costs by nearly 25% per shipment. The result: fresher fruit, fewer losses, and a stronger presence in both domestic and international markets.

Why Tampa Businesses Choose Custom Packaging

Built for Florida’s Climate

Tampa’s coastal climate brings humid summers, heavy rainfall, and hurricane season storms. Our packaging is designed to protect products in these conditions:

Moisture-proof pallet covers and liners keep goods dry even in tropical rain.
Plastic pallets resist mold, warping, and rot in damp warehouses.
UV-resistant bulk bags shield materials from harsh sunlight.

Supporting Tampa’s Leading Industries

Tampa is one of Florida’s fastest-growing economic hubs, with industries ranging from agriculture to logistics. Our packaging helps these sectors succeed:

Agriculture & Citrus – Central Florida citrus growers depend on bulk bags, pallet covers, and poly liners to deliver fresh fruit safely.
Seafood & Food Distribution – From Gulf Coast fisheries to restaurants in Ybor City, our liners, boxes, and pallet covers ensure freshness.
Port & Logistics – With the Port of Tampa Bay serving as a major shipping hub, our slip sheets, pallets, and crates streamline container loads.
Construction & Manufacturing – Rapid growth in the Tampa metro area demands super sacks, pallets, and heavy-duty crates for building materials and equipment.
