Resources

Reference material, written down and free.

Used packaging is a commodity that is often bought badly. A plain-language reference library is a good way to change that, so the guides, glossary and articles here are free to read.

Start here

Four things most people need first.

  1. What does it cost? How pricing works, and what moves a quote.
  2. What size do I need? Twenty-two footprints with cube, typical payload and pallet fit.
  3. What grade do I need? Five rungs with common reject reasons.
  4. What is this word? A glossary from bale to butt joint.

Why it is published

An informed buyer asks better questions.

Writing the basics down once, properly, saves everyone time. Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers; the library helps you describe what you need.

Reading paths

Routes through the library, by what you are trying to do.

These are sequences that answer a question rather than leaving you browsing.

  1. 01

    I want to start buying used boxes

    How pricing works, the size chart, the grade description, how to buy the right grade, then used gaylord boxes. It covers the main decisions on a first order.

  2. 02

    I have empties and do not know what they are worth

    Run a packaging waste review, then describe your boxes in a quote request. Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers.

  3. 03

    My boxes keep failing and I do not know why

    Pallet compatibility, then stacking and load ratings, then liners and moisture. In that order; the causes are usually cumulative.

  4. 04

    I need to understand how used boxes are recycled

    Read the recycling process article, then the glossary. Corrugated is widely recycled where facilities accept it, and reusing a box avoids making a new one.

Questions

The library, answered.

Is the ReGaylord resource library free?
Yes. There is no paywall, no email capture and no gated PDF. Every guide, glossary term and article is a public page you can read and link to.
Where should I start if I am buying used boxes for the first time?
Read how pricing works, then the gaylord size chart, then the 1A to 5A grade description and the guide to buying the right grade. That route covers the main decisions on a first order.
How can I find out what my empty boxes are worth?
Start with the self-run packaging waste review, then describe your boxes in a quote request. Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers, and availability depends on partner suppliers.
Why do my gaylord boxes keep failing?
Work through pallet compatibility, stacking and load ratings, and liners and moisture, in that order. Box failures are usually cumulative, so the causes tend to stack up rather than appear alone.
Can I use these figures in a sustainability report?
Treat the pages here as general reference, not audited data. Reusing a box avoids making a new one, but check your own numbers and current regulations before citing anything in a report.
