Everything you need to know about gaylord box dimensions and specifications
Standard Sizes
Gaylord boxes come in various sizes to accommodate different products and applications. Here are the most common dimensions you'll encounter.
Wall Types
The wall construction determines the box's strength and durability. Choose based on your weight requirements and intended use.

One layer of corrugated cardboard. Lightweight and economical.
Strength: Light to Medium Duty
Best For: Light materials, single-use applications
Double Wall
Two layers for extra strength and durability.
Strength: Medium to Heavy Duty

Triple Wall
Three layers providing maximum strength.
Strength: Heavy Duty
Best For: Heavy materials, long-term storage
How to Choose the Right Size
Consider Your Product
Think about what you'll be storing. Light, bulky items benefit from taller boxes. Heavy items need shorter boxes with stronger walls.
Check Weight Limits
Calculate the total weight of your materials. Don't exceed the box's capacity - this can cause failure and safety hazards.
Factor in Stacking
If you'll stack boxes, consider the combined weight. Bottom boxes should be strong enough to support those above.
Think About Handling
Consider how boxes will be moved. Standard sizes (48" x 40") fit on pallets and work with most forklifts.
