What Houston makes and ships

Houston at a glance

Port Houston's Barbours Cut and Bayport container terminals sit at the Galveston Bay end of the Houston Ship Channel, with refineries and chemical plants lining the water from Pasadena to Baytown. Bagged resin, oilfield machinery and imported consumer goods all cross these docks.

Houston's freight story starts at the water. Port Houston reported a record 4.3 million TEUs in 2025, and its February 2026 release puts its share of U.S. plastic resin exports at about 60%. Resin pellets ride hopper cars to packaging warehouses in Baytown and around the Bayport complex, where they are bagged, palletized and loaded into export containers. On the import side, retail and home-goods companies run large DCs at Cedar Port Industrial Park in Baytown, a short drive from Barbours Cut.

Pallet demand follows those flows. Export packagers need heat-treated pallets because their bagged resin leaves the country by ship. Port-side DCs want uniform 48x40s for store-bound freight. Energy-equipment makers on the north and northwest sides need heavier block pallets and custom platforms for dense parts. And the port says refrigerated container traffic rose 13% in 2025, which puts cold-chain warehouses on the list as well.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-10 crosses Houston east–west, from Beaumont through downtown to Katy and on toward San Antonio. I-45 runs north to Dallas and south to Galveston, and US 59 heads southwest toward Victoria and Laredo. Beltway 8 and the Grand Parkway (SH 99) ring the metro. Port Houston says its container terminals served about 2.5 million trucks in 2025 and added 1,000 feet of berth at Bayport's Wharf 7. The port itself handles ocean freight, while Mexico-bound trucks reach Laredo by US 59 or I-35.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Houston.

Pick by destination. Anything loaded into an export container at Bayport or Barbours Cut should ride on heat-treated (HT) pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Store-bound imports out of Cedar Port do best on Grade A 48x40s, or AAA for retailers that inspect closely. Energy equipment from the northwest side needs block pallets or custom sizes built to the load. Cold-chain docks should ask for new or top-grade recycled pallets with sound deckboards. Grade B works for one-way domestic moves and internal shuttles.

Buying pallets in Houston: questions

Do resin packagers near Bayport need a specific pallet?+
Bagged resin bound for export needs heat-treated pallets bearing the IPPC mark, and packagers also set size, deck coverage and load rating for their bagging and stretch-wrap lines. Send your spec sheet, and your account manager confirms the build and grade in writing before the first load is scheduled.
Can you deliver to warehouses at Cedar Port in Baytown?+
Yes. We deliver truckloads to distribution centers in Cedar Port Industrial Park and elsewhere in Baytown, plus Pasadena, La Porte and Deer Park. Share the building address and receiving rules, and your account manager confirms grade, size and appointment details.
What pallets hold up in freezer warehouses that handle port reefer cargo?+
Cold storage is hard on wood: condensation, freezer temperatures and constant forklift use. Ask for new or high-grade recycled pallets with sound boards and solid stringers or blocks. Heat treatment kills pests but does not stop mold, so storage and handling still matter.
Can oilfield equipment makers order heavy custom skids?+
Yes. Custom sizes and heavy block pallets can be built to your drawing for valves, pumps or skidded units. Include dimensions, load weight, fork entry points and whether the gear ships overseas, and your account manager confirms the spec, including heat treatment,.
Do DCs west along I-10 in Katy and Brookshire get deliveries too?+
Yes. The west side along I-10 and the Grand Parkway is part of our Houston coverage, along with the northwest side. Each load is matched with an independent yard that can reach your dock, and your account manager spells out the details on the quote.
Where can I buy pallets in Houston, TX?+
From us, by the full truckload: 616 recycled 48x40s per truck, or 520 block pallets. Call (470) 206-3352 or book a test load.
What do pallets cost delivered to Houston, TX?+
Full-truckload prices run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50 per pallet.
When will a load reach Houston, TX?+
Your delivery date is on the quote, in writing, before you send a PO. Standard 48x40s often arrive in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer.
