A Day of Team Building, Fun + Competition
Another year in the books of successful team building, community impact, and celebration at MavPak’s Annual Pallet Games 2025. Each year, this single-day competition serves as not just a fun, friendly competition, but a much-needed break for hardworking operations + logistics teams. Inside a remote 1 million+ sq. ft. warehouse in Greenfield houses a highly energetic atmosphere with over 800+ attendees, live music, games, food, and competitive spirit. Our Acción Performance team supported by our parent company Morales Group, competed alongside 53 other Indiana logistics teams with one true mission; to have fun! Before we dive into the action, we want to highlight the importance behind the scenes.
The Why Behind Pallet Games
At the heart of Pallet Games is MavPak. They are an Indianapolis-based packaging distributor, providing industrial customers with custom packaging supplies and equipment in central Indiana and beyond. What started as a dream for President + CEO of MavPak, John Goo turned into a reality in 2016. In 2016, MavPak held the first ever Pallet Games where our Acción Performance team placed 1st overall, taking home the coveted Golden Pallet Award.
Creating an event like Pallet Games isn’t easy, but MavPak manages to raise the bar each year. From orchestrating the competitions to rallying industry support and donating proceeds back into the community, they’ve crafted a truly special event that blends fun with real purpose. What truly set this year’s games apart was something new: community impact.
MavPak Gives Back
Instead of just covering event costs, MavPak made the decision to take the $40,000 raised through sponsorships and registrations and donate it directly back into the community. Three incredible organizations benefited—Julian Center ($20K), Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center, and ITown Church’s Feed Your Neighbor Program ($10K each). It was a powerful reminder that even a day of play can drive meaningful change.
As presenting sponsor, Morales Group family of brands is honored to support an initiative that not only showcases performance but also purpose. That’s why Pallet Games, with all its teamwork, hustle, and heart, always feels like home for us. With MavPak leading the way, it’s easy to see why this event continues to grow in size, creativity, and impact.
Games + Contests
Each team has two chances to complete all 5 warehouse games. Results from both games are combined for an average score. Each game is strategically intended to challenge even the savviest of warehouse workers. Games included this year were: Pallet Jack Relay, Put-Away Pursuit, Handle With Care, Puzzle Rush, and Pack Attack.
There is also a ‘Team Spirit’ Award that goes to the best overall dress + pallet design based on theme. Pallet Designs usually bring out immense creativity, promoting each team’s individual brands. Our theme was “Building Success, Step By Step”, so we creatively designed our pallet into a stairwell. Each step showcased our services with our logo at the bottom. This speaks to our vast capabilities and how Acción provides our partners solutions at every step, from the bottom up.
In the end of the days festivities, best scores from each game are awarded, followed by the three main finalists: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Winners are announced, celebrated and provided with a MavPak Pallet Trophy.
Congratulations + Thank You
We want to say congratulations to this year’s 1st place winner, Dick’s Sporting Goods, as well as all winners and teams that participated. Thank you to MavPak and sponsors who make Pallet Games possible. We’re grateful for organizations that strive to build better futures for our people + communities right here in Indiana. We’re already on the lookout for Pallet Games 2026.
