Worth knowing in Denver
Denver's outdoor-gear, natural-food and craft-beverage brands ship nationally both to stores and directly to customers, so a single business may need retail cases and parcel mailers. Distribution buildings near the airport and in Commerce City serve the Mountain West, where long truck routes mean boxes must survive extended transit.
Ski, snowboard and bicycle makers are notable box users here too, and their long, light products need long cartons with end protection. Breckenridge and Boulder brands often fulfil from Denver warehouses rather than mountain towns, since access and freight are easier on the plains.
Interstates 25, 70 and 76 meet in the metro, and much of its distribution sits along I-70 east toward the airport and in Commerce City.
We quote delivery to every ZIP in all 10 counties of the Denver-Aurora-Centennial metro area, among them Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield and Clear Creek, not only the warehouse districts. The ZIPs with the most warehouses are 80011 Aurora, 80239 Denver, 80216 Denver, 80238 Denver and 80022 Commerce City, and the most warehousing jobs are in Adams, Denver and Arapahoe counties.
