California climate

Packaging Built for California’s Climate and Shipping Needs

California is not one climate. Coastal cities deal with fog and moisture, while inland areas like the Central Valley and Inland Empire see long, hot, dry summers. Your packaging needs to work for both.

Heat during shipping

Packages can sit in hot trucks and warehouses in summer. Sturdy board, the right corrugated flute and a well-specified structure help boxes keep their shape.

Coastal moisture

Aqueous coating, lamination or soft-touch finishes help protect printed surfaces from moisture and scuffs.

Long delivery distances

California is a big state. If your customers are spread from San Diego to Sacramento, choose packaging that handles stacking and handling well.

Product-specific needs

Food, cosmetics and candles may need liners, inserts or barrier options. Tell us what you are packing and we will advise.
