Worth knowing in Virginia
Hampton Roads import buildings repack goods that arrive in ocean containers, often from master cartons that were made overseas to a different standard. Cartons that will be filled, sealed and shipped again from Suffolk or Chesapeake need to match US carrier expectations and a domestic grade. If you are replacing import cartons, send the dimensions of what you receive and of what you ship, and we quote the domestic box.
Northern Virginia's data centres receive servers, racks and network gear in heavy, well-padded cartons, often on pallets with corner boards, and create large volumes of used corrugated to recycle. Richmond adds tobacco, food and chemical plants, and the Shenandoah Valley has poultry processors near Harrisonburg.
