Green Bay at a glance
What Green Bay makes and moves.
Paper built Green Bay and still sets its pace. The Greater Green Bay Chamber says the region's paper industry is about 14 times as concentrated as the national average, and the city's tissue history traces to a mill founded in 1901. Two large beef packers, a cheese and yogurt maker that supplies store brands and restaurants, packaging and label printers, and a national trucking company headquartered in town round out the employer list. Manufacturing, the chamber adds, accounts for roughly a fifth of local jobs and output.
That shapes pallet demand in a few ways. Tissue and paper converters ship light, tall loads that need flat, even decks so stacks don't lean in the trailer. Beef plants and cheese makers work in cold, wet rooms and want sound boards with no protruding nails. Packaging plants and the trucking terminals cycle 48x40s by the trailer, and the Fox Valley mills to the south pull a similar mix.
Who buys pallets here
The docks that run on pallets in Green Bay.
- 01
Fox River tissue converters
Green Bay's paper story runs from early tissue mills to the large tissue producers that still run lines in the city today. Finished cases are bulky but light, so these docks prioritize matched 48x40 heights and square corners for stretch-wrapping, usually with Grade A recycled or AAA stock rather than worn pallets.
Consumer goods → - 02
Green Bay beef packers
Two large beef packing companies operate in Green Bay, and one ranked among the city's biggest employers in 2021. Boxed beef moves through refrigerated docks and wash-downs that punish weak wood, so packing plants do best with new or AAA pallets that have tight decks and no loose nails.
Food & beverage → - 03
Cheese and yogurt makers
A maker of process, natural and cream cheeses and yogurt for store brands and restaurants keeps its headquarters in Green Bay. Cheese and cultured dairy ship heavy and cold, so these docks want stout, square pallets that hold up in coolers and stack evenly on refrigerated trailers.
Food & beverage → - 04
Truckload carriers and port terminals
A national trucking company ranked among the city's largest employers in 2021, and 14 businesses work the port's three miles of Fox River frontage. Warehouses and cross-docks tied to them rotate standard 48x40s quickly, while wood pulp, machinery and wind components moving off ships need sturdier, often custom, builds.

How freight moves
Ports, rail and interstates.
I-41 runs south through the Fox Cities to Milwaukee, and I-43 follows the Lake Michigan shore through Manitowoc; both end on Green Bay's northwest side. WIS 29 heads west to Wausau, WIS 172 crosses the south side from I-43 at Bellevue to Hobart, and US 141 runs north toward Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Port of Green Bay, which calls itself the westernmost port on Lake Michigan, handles coal, limestone, salt, petroleum, wood pulp and oversize machinery. Two freight railroads serve the city, and Austin Straubel International sits in Ashwaubenon.

Which pallet to order
The right grade for Green Bay.
Tissue and paper converters should order Grade A recycled or AAA 48x40s; even deck heights matter more than new lumber for light, tall loads. Beef plants and cheese makers working in coolers do better on new or AAA pallets with tight decks, and should ask about block pallets where jacks enter from any side. Trucking terminals and warehouses can run Grade B for internal moves. Anything crated for export needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15, and your account manager confirms the spec in writing.
