Gaylord Boxes
Heavy-duty bulk containers for shipping, storage, and material handling, available in single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall configurations. Partner suppliers commonly handle standard 48x40 pallet-sized boxes as well as oversized and half-size options. Whether you need to ship loose auto parts, store recyclable plastics, or consolidate warehouse materials, gaylord boxes are the go-to choice for bulk containment.
Corrugated Boxes
Standard shipping and moving boxes in a wide range of sizes, from small mailer boxes to large shipping cartons, in RSC and FOL styles. Used corrugated boxes are typically sorted by size and condition. When the condition matches the job, they work well for repeat shipments, e-commerce fulfillment, warehouse storage, and inter-facility transfers.
Specialty Boxes
Containers built for specific jobs: produce boxes, insulated shippers, wardrobe boxes, dish packs, bottle shippers, and custom configurations. When standard corrugated will not meet your needs, purpose-built features like wax coatings, foam insulation, hanging bars, ventilation, and reinforced construction can help protect the contents.
Pallets
Used wooden and plastic pallets in GMA, block, export, presswood, and custom sizes. Used pallets are often repaired before resale, and condition varies by partner supplier. Reusing a pallet avoids building a new one and makes use of lumber that has already been cut.
Accessories
The supplies that complete a packaging setup: tape, strapping, corner protectors, dividers, pallet wrapping, labels, edge boards, desiccants, and palletizing supplies, in new and recycled-content options. List them on your quote request alongside your boxes and a partner supplier can tell you what is available.
Used Boxes, Ready for Another Trip
Requests are welcome from across the US. Availability depends on partner suppliers in your area.

Common Condition Grades
Used packaging is commonly sold by condition grade. Grades vary by partner supplier, so confirm what each one means when you get your quote.
Minimal wear. May have been used once. No significant marks, tears, or structural issues. Often chosen for retail and customer-facing shipments.
Light wear with minor cosmetic marks. Structurally sound with no weak spots. A common pick for B2B shipping and internal transfers.
Visible wear, some writing or labels. Still functional for non-presentation uses. Typically used for storage and internal shipping.
How Used Boxes Are Typically Graded
These four checks are the usual basis for a condition grade. They are also a handy list to run through when used boxes arrive at your dock.
Visual Inspection
Used boxes are usually checked for tears, punctures, staining, excessive printing, and cosmetic damage. Overall appearance helps decide whether a box suits customer-facing or internal use.
Structural Integrity Check
Panels are flexed and fold lines checked for weakness, along with any delamination between liner and fluting. Boxes with compromised structure are normally downgraded or sent to recycling rather than resold.
Load Suitability
Heavy-duty boxes should match the weight they will carry. Wall type, board rating, and condition all matter, so double and triple wall containers deserve a closer look before they are loaded and stacked.
Moisture Check
Softness, warping, and water stains point to moisture exposure, which weakens corrugated board. Boxes with significant moisture damage are poor candidates for reuse. On wax-coated boxes, check that the coating is intact.
Grades are not universal: There is no single industry standard for used box grades, so one supplier's Grade A may differ from another's. Grading and terms are set by each partner supplier. If appearance or strength is critical, ask about condition before you commit to an order.
