Cardboard Gaylord boxes are single-use. Every order, every shipment, you're buying new boxes and disposing of the old ones. In a facility that moves thousands of units per week, that adds up fast — both in cost and in waste.
Plastic Gaylord boxes from our top-rated manufacturer are built to last 50+ use cycles. One investment replaces dozens of cardboard orders. They're waterproof, cleanable, food-grade, and 100% recyclable at end of life.
