Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about standard gaylord boxes
What makes a gaylord box "standard"?
Standard gaylord boxes feature traditional 4-wall rectangular construction, designed to fit on standard 48x40" pallets. They differ from specialty designs like octagon boxes or heavy-duty variants in their classic shape and typical wall thickness.
How many times can a gaylord box be reused?
A quality gaylord box can typically be reused 3-10 times depending on the contents, handling conditions, and grade. Grade A boxes in good environments can last even longer. We recommend inspecting boxes before each use.
Can I get standard gaylords with liners?
Yes! We offer poly liners in various mil thicknesses to protect contents and extend box life. Food-grade, anti-static, and moisture barrier liners are available. Liners can be purchased separately or included with your box order.
Do you offer printing on standard gaylords?
New boxes can be ordered with custom printing including logos, handling instructions, or product identification. Minimum quantities typically apply (usually 100+ boxes). Contact us for custom printing quotes.
What is the difference between single, double, and triple wall?
Single wall boxes have one layer of fluting, suitable for lighter contents (up to 1,000 lbs). Double wall has two layers for medium loads (1,500-2,500 lbs). Triple wall has three layers for heavy-duty applications (2,500+ lbs).
