What geographic areas does Bates sell to?
Although Bates can sell to any location in the world, the cost of transporting corrugated boxes usually hinders our ability to be competitive outside of a 300 mile range from our manufacturing facilities. We’re most competitive in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mexico. We are able to be competitive nationally through our associate FirstPak members, in which we subcontract other members to manufacture our boxes for us in areas outside our competitive geographic range.
