Box supply for Atlanta shippers
Atlanta is the South-east's distribution centre. The metro counted 49,050 warehousing jobs in 2025, led by Fulton, Henry and Cobb counties, and warehousing is 1.4 times as concentrated here as nationally.
What Atlanta buyers order
Distribution and fulfilment buildings buy stock RSC ranges and large boxes by the pallet. Food manufacturing, 22,288 jobs, buys cases, some of them for cold storage.

McDonough (30253), south of the city on I-75, has the most warehousing establishments, then 30336 west of downtown, Forest Park, Fairburn and 30349 near the airport.

Worth knowing in Atlanta
Atlanta's airport is a cargo hub as well as a passenger one, and freight forwarders near it pack goods for air shipment, where weight costs more than volume. Light, right-sized cartons save money there. The metro's food plants, snack makers, bottlers and bakeries buy cases in volume. And the I-75 corridor south toward McDonough holds big distribution buildings that need a range of stock sizes replaced steadily.
Interstates 75, 85 and 20 meet downtown, and the industrial parks south of the city near Hartsfield-Jackson airport hold much of the freight.
We quote delivery to every ZIP in all 29 counties of the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metro area, among them Barrow, Butts, Carroll and Clayton, not only the warehouse districts.
