A standard co-packing project at Industrial Packaging’s Webster plant takes about 10 business days, and Fulfillment America pre-builds sample kits as part of its quality checks.

By sea, components can come in through Conley Terminal, New England’s only full-service container terminal, which takes vessels of 12,000 to 16,000 TEU and links the region with over 30 ports around the world. For finished kits going out by air, Boston Logan placed 33rd among US airports by all-cargo landed weight in 2025, about 884 million lbs in FAA preliminary figures, and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport sits under 50 miles north of Boston. Manchester is the third largest cargo airport in New England, and its cargo carriers include UPS, FedEx and Amazon Air. Northeast 3PL’s Londonderry building is next to that airport.
