About Gaylord Boxes
Gaylord boxes—also known as bulk bins, pallet boxes, or tri-wall containers—are large corrugated containers designed to sit on standard pallets for efficient storage and transportation of bulk materials. PackMeUS offers an extensive selection of new and used gaylords to support your material handling operations with quality and value. The term "Gaylord" originated from the Gaylord Container Corporation, which pioneered heavy-duty corrugated containers. Today, the name is used generically across the industry to describe any large corrugated bulk bin designed for pallet-based handling. Our gaylord boxes are available in single, double, and triple wall constructions to match your strength and protection requirements. Single wall boxes suit lightweight materials and internal logistics. Double wall construction handles moderate weights and provides good stacking strength. Triple wall (tri-wall) boxes deliver maximum durability for heavy products, long-term storage, and demanding shipping conditions. Multiple top styles accommodate different filling and access requirements. Full-flap tops provide complete closure when folded, securing contents for transport. Half-flap tops offer partial coverage with easier access. Lidded designs use separate corrugated or plastic covers for repeated opening and closing. Open-top configurations suit applications requiring continuous filling access. Bottom construction varies by application. Regular slotted container (RSC) bottoms use interlocking flaps for simple setup. Full-overlap bottoms provide enhanced strength for heavier contents. Bliss-style construction creates a continuous wraparound bottom for maximum durability. Octagonal and irregular shapes are available for specialized product protection. Interior liners extend gaylord versatility to moisture-sensitive products and small-particle applications. Polyethylene bag liners provide moisture barriers and prevent leakage of fine materials. Kraft paper liners offer product protection at lower cost. Food-grade liners meet FDA requirements for direct food contact.

Benefits of Gaylord Boxes
Maximum Bulk Capacity
Gaylord boxes enable efficient handling of large quantities in single containers, dramatically reducing the number of packages to manage. One gaylord can replace dozens of smaller boxes, streamlining operations, reducing packaging waste, and speeding up loading and unloading processes.
Outstanding Value (Used Gaylords)
Used gaylords offer exceptional value for applications where appearance is secondary to function. Internal logistics, waste collection, recycling operations, and work-in-process storage benefit from 50-70% cost savings versus new boxes while maintaining full functionality.
Space-Efficient Operations
Standard pallet footprints maximize warehouse storage density and truck loading efficiency. Gaylords stack securely when properly loaded, utilizing vertical space. Empty boxes collapse flat for storage, minimizing the space required for packaging inventory.
Versatile Application Range
From lightweight packaging materials to heavy metal stampings, gaylords handle virtually any bulk material. Wall thickness selection, liner options, and size customization enable optimal configuration for specific product requirements and handling conditions.
Environmental Sustainability
Corrugated cardboard is among the most recycled materials, with recovery rates exceeding 90%. Gaylords support circular economy goals through recyclability, reusability, and availability with recycled content. Used gaylord programs further extend material life cycles.
Easy Customization
Custom sizes, printing, liners, and construction options enable gaylords tailored to exact requirements. Branding, product identification, handling instructions, and regulatory information can be printed directly on containers for professional presentation.
Simple Setup and Use
Gaylord boxes arrive flat and set up quickly without tools or fasteners. Bottom flaps interlock securely, and top flaps fold closed for shipping. The straightforward design requires minimal training, enabling fast deployment in any operation.
Cost-Effective Shipping
Light weight relative to capacity keeps shipping costs low. Efficient pallet loading maximizes freight utilization. For return or reuse programs, flat-folded gaylords ship economically. The value proposition improves further with used box programs.
