Worth knowing in Cleveland
Paint and coatings, specialty chemicals, steel products and medical devices are Cleveland's distinctive box users. Paint cans and pails are heavy and their contents must not leak, so cases need the right grade and dividers. Medical device makers ask for exact, clean cartons. Lake-effect winters bring cold, dry air indoors; let flats acclimatise before machines fold them.
The metro runs along Lake Erie from Lorain County in the west to Lake and Geauga counties in the east, with Medina to the south, so give the delivery ZIP rather than the city name.
We quote delivery to every ZIP in all 6 counties of the Cleveland metro area: Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain and Medina, not only the warehouse districts. The ZIPs with the most warehouses are 44139 Solon, 44149 Strongsville, 44146 Bedford, 44128 Cleveland and 44142 Brookpark, and the most warehousing jobs are in Cuyahoga, Medina and Lorain counties.
