Shipping & Packaging Supplies
Boxes, tape, stretch film, cushioning, and strapping. Delivered locally, with one person to call for all of it.
If your product ships, it needs packaging around it. Boxes to hold it, tape to close it up, film to hold the load together, cushioning so nothing rattles, and strapping to keep it all on the skid. Atlas supplies all of it, delivered around the Chicago area, with one person who knows your account instead of a call center and a catalog.
Not sure who on your team handles this? That is fine. Most of what is on this page is bought by whoever runs shipping, the warehouse, or purchasing. Skim the categories below to see what we carry, or scroll down for how each one affects your freight damage rate and your total landed cost.
Pallet or Crate
Standard GMA, custom, or export-ready foundation.
Carton Strength
Box grade, wall type, compression rating.
Interior Protection
Void fill, dunnage, poly bags, cushioning inside the carton.
Sealing & Labeling
Carton sealing tape, shipping labels, identification, compliance marking.
Containment
Stretch film, strapping, edge protection. Clear film keeps labels scannable through the wrap.
If it ships on a pallet, in a box, or through a freight network, we help you secure it correctly. The categories below walk through the materials most commonly used to stabilize, protect, and identify shipments.
What we carry
Corrugated Boxes
Single, double, and triple wall in stock sizes or built to your dimensions. Carton strength drives stacking performance and compression resistance, so the right box protects the product and keeps the pallet stable in a trailer or in 3PL racking.
See the full Corrugated Boxes page →Stretch Film
Hand rolls and machine rolls in the gauges and grades that actually fit your loads. Film provides the containment force that keeps cartons stable on a pallet, so film type, gauge, and application method drive your load integrity and your freight damage rate.
Strapping & Edge Protection
Poly and steel strapping with the buckles, seals, and tensioners to run it, plus cornerboard to protect edges and let you strap tighter without crushing the load. This is what holds heavy, irregular, or high-value freight together through a long-haul ride.
Void Fill & Cushioning
Kraft paper, bubble, air pillows, and loose fill to take up empty space and cushion what is inside the carton. The right combination cuts movement and impact damage without overpacking every order.
Poly Bags & Mailers
Poly bags to contain and protect product, and mailers for anything you ship without a box. The right mailer can cut your dimensional weight charges without giving up protection, and the right bag thickness keeps product clean without paying for more film than you need.
Tape & Adhesives
Carton sealing tape in the right thickness and width for your cartons, plus the dispensers to run it. Tape type and adhesive decide whether cartons stay sealed across the temperature and humidity swings between a warehouse and an unheated trailer.
Labels
Shipping labels that stay legible and stuck down through the whole trip, whatever the temperature, moisture, or handling. The wrong label means scanning failures and delivery delays, which matters most in cold storage, export, and long-haul lanes.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of packaging supplies does Atlas carry?
Boxes, carton tape, stretch film, void fill and cushioning, strapping, cornerboard edge protection, shipping labels, and poly bags and mailers. If it goes around a product to get it out the door, Atlas can quote it.
I am not the one who handles shipping. Who should I loop in?
Whoever runs your shipping, warehouse, or purchasing usually owns these orders. Point them to this page, or pass along their name and we will take it from there.
Do you deliver around Chicago, or does it ship?
For full loads around the Chicago area, Atlas delivers locally instead of handing your order to a national carrier and charging per-line freight. On heavy or bulky stock, that local delivery is often where a regional supplier wins.
Can Atlas supply the same items I already buy from Uline?
In most stock categories, yes, because the products come off the same manufacturing lines. Send an item number or a photo of the spec and Atlas will quote the equivalent.
Do I need to know exactly what I need before I reach out?
No. Send a list, a photo of a pallet, or the items from last month's order, and Atlas will help you spec it and quote it.
Tell us what you buy and how much of it moves, and we will put together a quote. Send a list, a photo of a pallet, or the items from last month's order. Whatever you have got.
