Freight Unloading & Lumper Services for the Paper and Packaging Industry

Protect Your Product. Move Faster. Build a Supply Chain That Lasts.

The paper and packaging market is entering one of its strongest growth cycles in decades, driven by sustainability mandates, expanding eCommerce demand, and a decisive shift away from plastic. With food-service packaging projected to grow from $70B to $90B by 2026 and consumer goods packaging already exceeding $55B in value, the demand for dependable, long-term freight unloading support is accelerating just as rapidly.

As paper and corrugated packaging replace plastic, their increased fragility requires specialized handling, disciplined labor, and precision throughout the unloading process. Express Freight Handlers provides professional long-term lumper services designed to protect product integrity and sustain operational efficiency as the market expands.
