Manufacturing FAQs

Common questions from manufacturers

What size gaylords work best for manufacturing?
The most common size is 48" x 40" x 36" which fits standard pallets and works well for most parts storage. However, the best size depends on your specific parts, weight, and handling equipment. We can help you determine the optimal size for your operation.
How much weight can gaylord boxes hold?
Standard single-wall gaylords hold up to 2,500 lbs. Double-wall boxes can handle 3,500-4,000 lbs, and triple-wall heavy-duty boxes can support 5,000+ lbs. We can recommend the right wall construction for your weight requirements.
Can you supply boxes on a regular schedule?
Yes! Many of our manufacturing customers set up scheduled deliveries - weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. This ensures you always have the boxes you need without managing large inventories.
Do you buy back used boxes from manufacturers?
Absolutely. We purchase used gaylord boxes from manufacturing facilities. This is especially valuable for boxes used for scrap collection or one-way shipping. Contact us for current buyback prices.
