Worth knowing in Phoenix
Phoenix has become a hub for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing as well as distribution, and electronics makers need cartons with anti-static inserts and exact sizes. The region's extreme summer heat dries board, so cartons stored in hot buildings can become brittle at the folds. Air-conditioned storage, where available, keeps them in better condition.
Phoenix buyers also include solar installers, pool-equipment distributors and Mesa and Chandler electronics assemblers. Their goods vary from panels and pumps to circuit boards, so expect very different cartons on one site: long flat boxes, heavy double wall and small anti-static cases.
Interstate 10 links Phoenix to the Los Angeles ports in about a day's drive, which is why many importers keep overflow stock in West Valley buildings.
