Frequently asked questions

What Buyers Usually Need to Know

Have a technical question or a unique requirement? Call our team for direct assistance.

What is a gaylord box?
A gaylord box, also called a gaylord container, gaylord shipping container, or gaylord corrugated box, is a large, heavy-duty corrugated container mounted on a pallet. It is designed for storing and transporting bulk quantities of heavy, loose, solid, or flowable products like resins, powders, and produce.
What are gaylord corrugated boxes made of?
Gaylord corrugated boxes are made from heavy-duty corrugated board. Most are made in double-wall or triple-wall gaylord box construction where multiple layers of corrugated are laminated together for extra strength, burst resistance, and stacking performance.
What is the difference between double-wall and triple-wall gaylord boxes?
Double-wall gaylord boxes have two layers of corrugated fluting and are ideal for up to ~1500 lbs. Triple-wall gaylord boxes have three layers and are used for very heavy or high-stacking applications, often supporting 2000+ lbs per container. We recommend based on your product weight and storage needs.
Do you offer large gaylord boxes and custom sizes?
Yes. All gaylord boxes are custom manufactured. We can produce large gaylord boxes with custom length, width, and height to match your pallet footprint (typically 40x48), fill system, and warehouse racking requirements.
What are gaylord shipping containers used for?
Gaylord shipping containers are bulk shipping boxes used for plastic resins, powders, granulated materials, produce, food products, manufacturing components, industrial materials, recycling, and distribution. They are a low-cost alternative to rigid containers for one-way bulk shipping.
Do you sell gaylord boxes with lids?
Yes, we manufacture gaylord boxes with lids including corrugated lids, partial lids, and full top caps. Lids provide extra protection for long-term storage and help with stacking your gaylord shipping cartons.
