Gaylord was originally a trade name for a bulk-size corrugated box. You have probably seen a Gaylord box in your local grocery or big box store. They are big corrugated boxes attached to wood pallets. These corrugated containers usually hold a bagged product or fresh produce like watermelons.

I am also looking for new gaylord boxes : 3/4/2016 10:38:32 am
The containers can be stacked four high fully loaded when sitting on the floor and two high when moving around on a pallet jack or fork lift. The containers are rated for 1500 lbs each. I have sent you pricing privately. Thank you!

How many can you stack without the top on 1/8/2018 09:09:48 am
Kenneth, if we are speaking of plastic pallet containers they are manufactured with an inset to allow for stable stacking without a lid. The number of containers you can stack would be dependent on the container size and static capacity. 4/7/2016 04:57:24 am

Well, I have never heard of that term, is it regional? Had a kid in my 7th grade class always wor4e a 3 piece suit and briefcase. Gaylord Ryan Lungg. Now i have to try to use it in a sentence that is not too scripted. When i was 4 my father's geriatric secretary watched me for 2 overnightswhen my parents were at my Uncle's Ordination out of state. She said i was going to be sleeping on the Davenport. And I thought she said DIVING BOARD and was like, huh? She has a pool? What if i roll off? Its November.... And then dhe told me it converts to a bed....And as i was abought to collapse with awe, she walked to the couch and it was just a hide-a-bed like my mom had. No pool, no diving board. 9/12/2017 05:03:38 pm
How do you calculate the difference in volume between and octagon gaylord box 48x40x40 vs. a rectangular gaylord box 48x40x40. 9/12/2017 05:19:13 pm
I personally am not a math person but found this web site that could help you make that calculation:

The first time I saw a large corrugated cardboard pallet box was at the Fred Meyer Salvage warehouse (Portland Oregon) back in the '80's. They were shipped back and forth between us, and all the Fred Meyer stores bringing damaged material or us to process. They called them Cable Boxes though. I didn't hear the name Gaylord until I went to work for Home Depot. 9/27/2017 05:02:41 pm
How interesting Roger, that is the first time I've heard them referred to as cable boxes however I know they are commonly used for the transportation of cable. Thanks for sharing!

Those huge corrugated boxes commonly called gaylords by most of the shipping industry, are now (as of April 2022) called “shuttles” by Amazon. Comments are closed.
