Lower Your Costs

Once-used Gaylords provide a lower-cost alternative to newly manufactured bulk containers. Most Rebox customers see between 40 - 70% savings on gaylords with Rebox.

Quality Checked

All our Gaylords are reviewed for structural integrity, cleanliness, dryness, wall and corner condition, and damage that could affect performance.

Custom Support

Our team considers your product, approximate load weight, bottom style, handling process, volume, and delivery location before recommending an option.

Sourced Regionally

Gaylords are large and expensive to ship over long distances. We look for available supply close enough to your operation to keep freight practical.

Sustainable

Choosing once-used Gaylords extends the life of structurally sound packaging, reduces the need for new materials and manufacturing, and supports a more circular packaging system.

Common Gaylord Boxes We Source

Rebox sources Gaylords in a range of sizes, wall constructions, and bottom styles. The right option depends on what you are moving, how much it weighs, and how the box will be handled.

Double-Wall E-Commerce Gaylords

Tall Gaylords for lighter, bulky products such as soft goods, paper, retail returns, and loose inventory.

Common sizes include:

48 × 40 × 60 with a partial bottom  
48 × 40 × 72 with a partial bottom

These are the most commonly sourced Gaylords in the Rebox network.

Full Interlock Bottom Gaylords

The bottom flaps overlap and lock together to provide added structure during storage and handling.

A common option is:

48 × 40 × 40 in double-wall or triple-wall construction

These Gaylords are often used for paper, plastics, manufacturing materials, and general warehouse handling.

Heavy-Duty Gaylords

Heavy-duty 4–5 wall Gaylords are built for dense materials and demanding industrial applications.

A common option is:

48 × 40 × 40 with a full or partial bottom

They are commonly used for dense plastics, metal, scrap materials, and heavier recycling streams.

GAYLORD FAQS

How much weight can a Gaylord box hold?

Typical load ranges include:

Double-wall: 500–800 pounds
Triple-wall: 1,000–1,500 pounds
4–5 wall: 2,000–2,500+ pounds

Actual capacity depends on the box condition, bottom style, pallet support, product density, stacking method, and handling environment.

What is the most common Gaylord size?

Most customers request an approximate 48 × 40-inch footprint with a height of around 40 inches.

Which sizes are most commonly available?

Gaylords with an approximate 48 × 40 × 40 footprint and 48 × 40 × 72 double-wall e-commerce Gaylords are among the most commonly sourced options in our network. Other sizes and heavy-duty constructions depend more heavily on regional supply.

What wall construction do I need?

Double-wall Gaylords are best for lighter materials such as paper and soft goods. Triple-wall works well for medium-duty materials such as plastics. Heavy-duty 4–5 wall Gaylords are used for metal, dense plastics, and other heavy materials.

What's the difference between once-used gaylord boxes and new?

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 (except for a reduction in costs). Once-used is the most sustainable and cost-effective option for your corrugated packaging needs.

What is the difference between a full and partial bottom?

A full bottom provides more complete coverage beneath the product. A partial bottom has less coverage and relies more heavily on a pallet or other stable base.

Do Gaylord boxes come with lids?

Lids are not normally stocked with once-used Gaylords. Rebox may be able to source or make new lids when required.

How far can Gaylords be shipped?

Most programs work best when Gaylords are sourced regionally, typically within approximately 250–500 miles of an available supply location. The practical shipping distance depends on the Gaylord construction, order quantity, supply location, and freight requirements. Our team will confirm whether the freight distance makes sense for your order.

WHY ONCE USED?

Over 2,000 businesses across North America, including some of the largest retailers on the continent, have already made the switch.

In partnership with Duke University, we confirmed what our partners already knew: reuse requires 10 times less energy and produces 45 times fewer emissions than recycling.

The case for once-used isn't new, it's proven. And every box we deliver is hand-inspected to make sure it lives up to that standard.
