Buy Used Gaylord Boxes in Westland

Save Money on Shipping: Used Gaylord Boxes in Westland, Michigan

Why You Should Consider Used Gaylord Boxes

You can cut your shipping costs by 50-70% when you buy used Gaylord boxes instead of new ones. These large, sturdy containers work just as well for most businesses but cost much less.

What You Get with Gaylord Boxes

Gaylord boxes are big cardboard containers that sit on pallets. Think of them as super-sized shipping boxes. A typical box measures 40 by 48 inches - about the size of a small desk - and can hold 500 to 2,000 pounds.

Here's what makes them useful:

• They stack safely even when full
• Multiple cardboard layers make them strong
• They're light enough to move around easily
• You can reuse them many times

Who Uses These Boxes

Many Michigan businesses rely on Gaylord boxes every day:

Food companies ship watermelons, bulk vegetables, and other produce. A single box can hold 200 pounds of apples or 50 bags of flour.

Manufacturing plants store raw materials and finished products. Auto parts suppliers use them for components like brake pads or filters.

Recycling centers collect plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and paper waste.

Warehouses organize inventory and move products between locations.

What Sizes and Types You Can Find

Most used boxes come in these common sizes:

• 48" x 40" x 39" (the most popular)
• 48" x 40" x 30" (shorter version)
• 36" x 36" x 36" (square shape)

Wall thickness tells you how much weight each box can handle:

• 2-layer walls: up to 250 pounds
• 3-layer walls: up to 400 pounds
• 4-layer walls: up to 600 pounds

You'll also choose between rectangle and octagon shapes. Rectangles work for most needs. Octagons fit better in tight spaces.

How Much You'll Pay

Used Gaylord boxes in Michigan cost between $5 and $15 each. The price depends on:

• Box condition (like new vs. showing wear)
• How many you buy
• Wall thickness
• Size

You get the best deals when you buy 500 boxes at once - that's called a truckload. Smaller orders cost more per box but still save money compared to new boxes.

Recent prices in nearby cities:

• Holland: $7.50 per box

Box Condition Grades
