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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about gaylord boxes and our products

QWhat is the difference between double wall and triple wall gaylords?

Double wall gaylords have two layers of corrugated material and handle up to 2,000 lbs. Triple wall gaylords have three layers, providing about 40% more strength and handling up to 2,500 lbs. Triple wall is recommended for heavier materials or when boxes will be stacked.
