Corrugated boxes shipped to Kentucky
Kentucky assembles cars and ships parcels. Motor vehicle manufacturing employed 23,308 people in 2025, 6.3 times its share of jobs nationally, and parts makers another 32,261. Boone County in Northern Kentucky led the state's 38,281 warehousing jobs, with Bullitt County, south of Louisville, next.
Who orders boxes in Kentucky
The two halves need different boxes. Plants want heavy cartons, partitions and bulk boxes for parts moving between suppliers and assembly. The distribution and air-cargo buildings around Hebron, Shepherdsville and Louisville want stock RSCs in quantity for parcels. Beverage manufacturing, 10,105 jobs, adds cases.
Delivery and freight
Louisville has its own page; Northern Kentucky ZIPs are listed on the Cincinnati page, since the metro crosses the river.

Worth knowing in Kentucky
Bourbon distillers along the Bluegrass and Kentucky routes buy cases for bottles and partitions to keep glass apart, and the heavier the bottle, the more the case has to carry. A six-bottle case of full 750 ml bottles weighs well under the 65 lb single wall limit, but a twelve-bottle case of larger formats can come close. Weigh a packed case before choosing; that is cheaper than finding out at the bottom of a pallet.
