Paper, Packaging & Printing Logistics & Import Capabilities
Paper, packaging, and printed products keep businesses moving—from the materials used to manufacture consumer goods to the packaging that protects products through the supply chain. With many products imported in high volumes, these industries require reliable transportation, efficient customs clearance, and consistent delivery to warehouses, fulfillment centers, retailers, and e-commerce operations. Shapiro provides the freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and logistics expertise to keep these essential materials moving.

Keeping Packaging Supply Chains Moving
For manufacturers, retailers, and e-commerce businesses, packaging isn’t optional—it’s an essential part of getting products to market. A delayed shipment of cartons, labels, paper products, or protective packaging can create downstream disruptions that affect production and fulfillment.
