Gaylord Boxes | Package Warehouse

Gaylord Boxes are referred to as “Gaylords” after the name of the person who first began manufacturing these large boxes. Most of the time when a reference is made about a gaylord box the person is referring to a pallet box or a very large bulk box. Bulk bin storage boxes are used for granular material in the plastics industry, agricultural industry and food industry. Liquid and granular commodities are commonly stored in Gaylord boxes. We stock four different type Gaylord boxes that differ in grade and specifications. Used Gaylord Boxes are usually palletized 20 to 25 boxes per skid and are not always readily available. Availability fluctuates from day to day. Packagewarehouse.com ships both new and used boxes from several points across the USA. Boxes come in single wall, double wall, triple wall, 4ply and 5ply thickness.

The marketplace for used and new gaylord boxes is vibrant when the economy is healthy and robust. There seems to be more of a demand than supply. Packagewarehouse.com secures inventory of gaylord boxes all over North America. These large pallet boxes are reduced in price after being put into inventory and used. Many companies who purchase large boxes can only use them once. Subsequently, they become available off price and discounted from the original purchase price and provide many companies with the perfect packaging solution to ship and package their products. A common style gaylord box is made as a sleeve or as a tube. This tubular box usually has a scored 6” to 12” flap that either tacks to the pallet, or is folded inward where a corrugated sheet is dropped to the bottom giving closure to the open part of the box. Gaylord boxes are also manufactured as HSC boxes and are open on the top. Lids can be purchased if sealing the top is required. Not as common are the gaylord boxes that are manufactured with both full bottom and top flaps. These full flapped RSC type containers take up a large amount of space when flattened. Most commonly requested as a tri-wall box, they also come in double-wall as well as four and five ply. Many of the used boxes available have company logos and printed text on the outside of the box which usually doesn't present a problem for most buyers. Gaylord containers are available as new or used. Used inventory fluctuates and is not always readily available. Inventory levels change across different parts of the USA and Canada depending on the season and time of year. Nonetheless when it comes to storage or transporting heavy loads these heavy bulk boxes are the optimal packaging solution for heavy loads.
