Worth knowing in Nebraska
Beef packing in Grand Island, Lexington, Dakota City and Omaha uses heavy, waxed or treated cases that hold product through chilling and freezing. Those are specialised builds; tell us whether your current case is wax-coated or treated, and its rating. Omaha also has insurance, finance and online retail operations whose needs are the opposite: small, light cartons and mailers.
Lincoln adds manufacturing, rail cars and motorcycles among it, plus a university research park. Corn and soybean processing across the state ships some product in bags on pallets, often with a corrugated slip sheet or tray.
