Probably the most common type of wood pallet is the 48×40 pallet, also known as the GMA pallet. This wood pallet size first became popular with groceries, and it is called a GMA pallet because it was first adopted by the Grocery Manufacturers Association, now called the Consumer Brands Association. With a standardized shipping pallet size, logistics became much easier as pallets of goods could be easily transferred from manufacturer to warehouse, to retail.
