GMA Pallets

GMA Pallets: The Standard for Retail, CPG, and High-Volume Logistics

The GMA Pallet (Grocery Manufacturers Association, 48″ x 40″) is the world’s most recognizable and widely accepted pallet standard. Choosing a GMA-specification pallet guarantees seamless compatibility throughout the entire supply chain, from manufacturing and distribution centers (DCs) to retail floors.

Why GMA Pallets Define Industry Standard

GMA specifications govern the precise dimensions, construction, and materials necessary for optimal performance with automated material handling equipment, racks, and standardized trailer sizes.

• Universal Compatibility: The 48″ x 40″ footprint is engineered to fit perfectly into standard tractor-trailers (allowing for pinwheeling), warehouse racking, and automated conveyor systems used globally by CPG companies.
• Interchangeable & Reliable: Buying GMA pallets ensures that your inventory is always based on a reliable, known design, maximizing the efficiency of high-volume, quick-turn logistics.
• Cost Efficiency: Due to their massive production scale, GMA-spec pallets often provide the most favorable economics for standard domestic shipping needs.
