Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Gaylord box?
A Gaylord box is a large, pallet-sized corrugated bulk container, typically 48" x 40" at the base, used to ship and store loose product in bulk. The name comes from the Gaylord Container Company and is now used generically for any bulk cardboard bin.
How much do used Gaylord boxes cost?
Used Gaylord boxes generally range from about $4 for utility-grade boxes to $45 for like-new, heavy-wall octagon boxes. Price depends on grade, wall count, size, quantity, and delivery distance. Request a quote for exact pricing in your area.
Do you buy used Gaylord boxes?
Yes. We purchase surplus Gaylord boxes in truckload and less-than-truckload quantities from manufacturers, distribution centers, and recyclers across the United States. Send us your quantity, grade, and location and we will respond with an offer.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Most deliveries are quoted by the pallet or truckload. A typical pallet holds 20 to 30 folded boxes, and a 53-foot trailer holds roughly 600 to 900 boxes depending on wall count. Smaller quantities are available for local pickup in many markets.
How fast can boxes be delivered?
Stock orders in major metros usually ship within 1 to 3 business days. Custom or large truckload orders typically ship within 5 to 10 business days.
Can you pick up boxes we no longer need?
Yes. We arrange scheduled or one-time pickups for surplus Gaylord boxes and baled cardboard. Depending on grade and volume, we may pay you for the material or provide a free haul-away.
Are Gaylord boxes recyclable?
Absolutely. Gaylord boxes are made of corrugated fiberboard and are recycled as old corrugated containers (OCC). Reusing a box several times before recycling it is the most sustainable and cost-effective option.
