Corrugated boxes shipped to New Jersey
New Jersey packs a lot into a small state: 76,152 warehousing jobs, 30,062 in pharmaceutical manufacturing and 47,966 in chemicals in 2025. Pharmaceutical work is three times as concentrated here as in the country as a whole. Middlesex County had 26,309 warehousing jobs.
Who orders boxes in New Jersey
The Port of New York and New Jersey was the nation's second busiest port for loaded containers in 2025, and the warehouses that serve it run from Elizabeth and Secaucus down the Turnpike to Cranbury and Dayton. They buy stock cartons by the pallet. Pharmaceutical and chemical plants buy plain, consistent cases and heavy boxes, and refrigerated warehousing employed 5,388 people.
Delivery and freight
Short distances keep freight simple, but loading docks in older buildings can be tight; tell us if a delivery needs a smaller truck. The northern counties have their own page.

Worth knowing in New Jersey
Space is expensive in North Jersey, and buyers here watch how much floor their packaging takes. Flat bundles stacked on a single pallet can hold thousands of small cartons; the same count set up would fill a room. Ordering more often in smaller loads can cost less overall than carrying months of stock. South Jersey, around Swedesboro and Bridgeport, has newer distribution parks with larger docks and room for full truckloads.
