Because you get a reliable supply of quality boxes at significantly less than what you're paying for new, without changing how your operation runs. Rebox has been in the packaging industry since 1990 and has grown to be North America's largest once-used box distributor. We serve over 2000 businesses across the US and Canada through 35+ distribution centres. Some of our customers have been working with us for over a decade.
It starts with a conversation. We learn about your operation, the sizes you use, your volume, and your location. From there, we match you to available inventory in our network and set up a delivery cadence that works for your team. Most customers are up and running within a couple weeks. Our goal is to make the transition as simple as possible for you and your teams. We very rarely require any disruption to your current operations.
Rebox carries a wide range of once-used corrugated box sizes and gaylords across our North American distribution network. Most standard sizes used in retail, manufacturing, and warehouse operations are available through our programs. If you have a specific size requirement, our team will actively source it. If an exact match isn't available, we'll recommend the closest alternative that still protects your products and supports your operation. Every program starts with a conversation about what you need, so you're never left guessing.
No long-term commitment is required to get started. If you want to see the quality before you commit to an order, we can send you samples first. From there, a lot of businesses run Rebox alongside their existing vendor on a specific box size or product line to see how it performs. Once the quality and savings speak for themselves, the conversation about volume usually takes care of itself.
Our boxes are once-used, which means they were opened once at a manufacturer and never used for outbound shipping. Every box in our network is inspected for quality before it reaches you. They're structurally sound and built to protect your goods through another full shipping cycle. For most internal or facility-to-facility applications, you won't notice a difference. For customer-facing shipments, we'd walk you through what to expect and which sizes work best for that use case.
Our pricing depends on a few key details like the sizes you use most often, the volumes you go through, and how frequently you order. Because every operation is a little different, we tailor each quote to make sure you’re getting the best possible value compared to buying new. You can expect to see pricing 10-40% less than buying new.
We believe in being fully transparent about how our supply chain works. Like any reuse model, our inventory depends on supply and demand, but we don't leave that to chance. Our team does detailed demand forecasting to anticipate your needs and plan accordingly across our 35+ distribution centres in North America. When gaps do occur, we can supplement your order with new boxes to keep your operation running without interruption, meaning your overall packaging costs remain lower than if you were buying 100% new.
Rebox works with retailers, manufacturers, distributors, e-commerce operations, and logistics providers across the United States and Canada. Any business that ships or receives product in corrugated boxes on a regular basis is a fit. Rebox operates 35+ distribution centers across North America, with facilities in Iowa, Tennessee, Ohio, Maryland, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Maine, Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Arizona, and the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario. Businesses in the Midwest, Southeast, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southwest are all within our active service network. Our distribution footprint is not the boundary of who we can serve. We work with businesses across North America regardless of location.
Your discarded boxes are worth more than what the recycler is paying you for them. Rebox is North America's largest buyer of once-used corrugated boxes, and we pay a premium rate based on your box size, condition, and volume. We handle pickup and scheduling. Every supplier gets a dedicated Supplier Success Manager who checks in regularly to make sure your returns keep growing. Some of our supplier programs have been running for over 20 years. That kind of track record doesn't happen unless the program actually works for the people in it.
We maintain clear, consistent quality standards to ensure every box that enters our system is capable of a full second life. To qualify for our program, boxes must be:
- Flattened and properly stacked
- Free from rips or tears along flaps or spines
- Structurally sound with no weakened corners or compromised edges
- Free from contamination or moisture damage
If you're new to working with us, don't worry about getting it perfect from day one. During onboarding, our Supplier Success Team works directly with your operation to review stacking practices and provide practical guidance tailored to your facility.
This support helps reduce re-handling, improves pickup efficiency, and ensures your material consistently meets our standards — which directly affects the rate you earn per box.
It depends on your box sizes, condition, and volume. After initial conversations have taken place and we understand your business, we can typically provide projected revenue figures so you know exactly what your program will generate before you commit to anything.
No long-term commitment is required to get started. That said, we're built for recurring partnerships. Partners who get the most value from working with Rebox are those with consistent, ongoing volume. Regular supply allows us to offer better rates, optimize pickups/deliveries, and build a program that improves over time.
Flatten boxes after opening, sort and stack them on pallets following our guidelines, and have the material ready for pickup. That's it. Rebox handles everything else. We also provide stacking guidelines upfront that cut handling time and increase the value of every load. If your dock has limited availability, we can set up a drop trailer program so your team loads on their own schedule. No live pickup coordination required.
Yes. If your facility generates a consistent supply of once-used gaylords, Rebox will buy them. We accept half, full, square, octagonal, full bottom, no bottom, full flap, and 2 to 5 ply gaylords. Availability and rates depend on size, condition, and volume. Reach out and we'll let you know what we can work with.
That's exactly what the onboarding process is designed to figure out. Before any program launches, our team takes the time to understand how your operation actually runs — your volumes, your dock availability, your handling setup. In many cases we come on-site to see it firsthand. From there, we run a trial pickup before any commitment is made, so you can see how the process fits into your operation and we can make sure it works with ours. The program gets built around what actually works for your facility. Every operation is different and we've been doing this long enough to know that a rigid program doesn't serve anyone.
Both. There's no long-term commitment required to get started. That said, a minimum of 500 boxes per load makes a pickup viable, so if you're below that threshold it's worth a conversation before we schedule anything.
If you have a consistent, ongoing supply, that's where the relationship really works in your favour. Recurring suppliers get preferential rates because predictable volume allows us to plan more efficiently. The more consistent your supply, the better the program performs for your bottom line. Most of our long-term supplier relationships started as a one-off load.
