Understanding What Makes Your Boxes Valuable

Construction Quality Matters

The value of your Gaylord boxes depends on several technical factors:

Edge Crush Test (ECT): Measures vertical compression strength, indicating how much weight boxes can safely stack. Higher ECT ratings command better prices.

Mullen Test: Evaluates bursting strength of the corrugated material. Critical for boxes handling heavier or sharp-edged contents.

Linerboard and Fluting: The quality of materials used in construction directly impacts durability and resale value. 5-wall boxes with premium materials are most valuable due to their superior strength and weight capacity up to 3,000 lbs, making them highly sought after for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Current Market Demand

We maintain strong relationships with buyers across multiple industries, ensuring consistent demand for quality boxes. This means better pricing for you and faster turnaround times. Our access to a network of motivated buyers guarantees that your boxes find the right home quickly.
