What is a Gaylord Box?
Gaylord boxes are large, heavy-duty corrugated containers designed for bulk storage and shipping. Named after the Gaylord Container Corporation, these boxes have become an industry standard for handling large quantities of materials efficiently.
Typically sized to fit standard 48" x 40" pallets, gaylord boxes offer an economical alternative to rigid containers. Their corrugated construction provides excellent strength while remaining lightweight and recyclable.
These versatile containers are used across industries for everything from shipping manufactured goods to collecting recyclable materials. Multiple wall configurations allow you to choose the right strength for your specific application.
