New Jersey is one of the most logistics-dense states in the US. With Port Newark (the second-busiest US container port), 900+ million square feet of warehouse space in the I-95/Turnpike corridor, and the nation's largest pharmaceutical manufacturing cluster, NJ businesses consume more pallets per capita than almost any other state. This guide covers how to source pallets efficiently for NJ operations.
New Jersey's pallet demand is driven by several distinct industry clusters, each with specific pallet requirements:
| NJ Industry | Key Areas | Primary Pallet Need |
|---|---|---|
| Pharmaceutical manufacturing | Rahway, Parsippany, Morris County | New GMA + GDP-compliant for export |
| Port Newark / Elizabeth logistics | Newark, Elizabeth, Carteret | ISPM-15 heat treated for export |
| Food & beverage distribution | Linden, Piscataway, Edison | Grade A GMA (food-grade) |
| 3PL / fulfillment centers | Exit 7A, Exit 8A, Exit 13A corridors | Grade A + B GMA mixed fleet |
| Retail distribution | Robbinsville, Burlington, Cinnaminson | Grade A GMA (Walmart/Target/Amazon spec) |
| Chemical manufacturing | Paterson, Perth Amboy, Linden | Block pallets + ISPM-15 for export |
