Size and capacity
2-wall bulk boxes come in a range of sizes and support loads between 200 and 1,200 lbs, depending on size, board grade, bottom style, condition, and handling. Capacity scales with bottom style - full flap bottoms carry more than partial flap. For a full breakdown of load limits by wall type, see our Gaylord box weight capacity guide.
Common sizes
- 47×37 Gaylord boxes: the narrower footprint, well suited to tighter pallet racks and lighter loads up to around 600 lbs.
- 48×40 Gaylord boxes: the standard pallet-footprint size; pairs cleanly with 48×40 GMA pallets and fits most racking systems.
- 42×34 Gaylord boxes: the compact option; good for denser or heavier materials where a smaller footprint helps with stability.

Additional options
Some double wall bulk bins include extra features that help the box hold its shape, stack better, or handle heavier loads. These options can be helpful if you are shipping bulky items, stacking boxes in storage, or reusing boxes multiple times.
Reinforcement options:
- Polybands: Polybands are strong plastic bands built into or wrapped around the box for added support. They help reduce bulging when the box is filled and can make the box stronger for storage, shipping, or repeated handling.
- Octagonal structure: Some 2-wall Gaylord boxes have an eight-sided shape instead of a standard rectangular shape. This design helps spread weight more evenly, which can help the box keep its shape and stack more securely. Octagon boxes are often used for produce, food distribution, recycling, and other bulk materials.
Used 2-wall Gaylord boxes are commonly available and typically cost $6–$10 per box, depending on size, condition, quantity, and location.

More about wall sizes
Gaylord box “wall count” refers to how many layers of corrugated cardboard are used to make the box. In general, more walls mean more strength and a higher weight capacity.
A double-wall cardboard bulk container has two layers of corrugated cardboard. This gives it more strength than a 1-wall box, while still keeping it lighter and more cost-effective than 3-, 4-, or 5-wall boxes.
For many light- to mid-weight products, a 2-wall box offers a good balance of strength, price, and ease of handling. For heavier, sharp, fragile, or high-value loads, you may want to compare it with a stronger wall count, starting with 3-wall Gaylord boxes. For the heaviest loads, see 5-wall Gaylord boxes.

FAQs
What is a 2-wall Gaylord box?
A 2-wall Gaylord box is a bulk corrugated container built from two laminated layers of corrugated board. It is a lightweight, cost-effective option suited for loads up to around 1,200 lbs.
How much weight can a 2-wall Gaylord box hold?
Most 2-wall boxes hold between 200 and 1,200 lbs depending on size and bottom style. Full flap bottoms provide the most support for heavier loads within that range.
What is the difference between a 2-wall and a 3-wall box?
A 3-wall box adds a third corrugated layer, giving it more crush resistance and a higher weight capacity — typically up to 1,500 lbs or more. If your load is dense, sharp, or moisture-exposed, a 3-wall box is the better choice. For lighter, dry goods a 2-wall box is more economical.
How much do used 2-wall Gaylord boxes cost?
Used 2-wall boxes typically run $6 to $10 each depending on size and quantity. New boxes run $12 to $60. See our Gaylord box pricing guide for a full breakdown.
What sizes do 2-wall Gaylord boxes come in?
Common sizes are 47×37×40", 48×40×36–42", and 42×34×36", with heights ranging from 24 to 50". See the Gaylord box dimensions guide for a full reference.
Are 2-wall Gaylord boxes sold in bulk only?
Yes. Boxes are sold by the pallet or truckload in lots of 25, 50, or 100. Single box purchases are not available.
