4-ply Gaylord boxes are rugged, heavy-duty corrugated bins designed for tough industrial applications. Each wall is made by gluing together multiple layers of fluted cardboard, then bonded to form a strong four-wall structure. This layered construction delivers excellent durability and load-bearing strength, making them ideal for storing and transporting heavy or bulky materials.

Fluting is the wavy interior layer in corrugated cardboard that creates rigidity. A 4-wall box typically combines layers of fluting from 1-wall, 2-wall, and 3-wall sheets, laminated together to form a unified high-strength panel.

Flute profiles also vary:

• Type A: thick and strong, good for heavy-duty applications
• Type B and C: standard for most general-purpose uses
• Type E and F: thinner and more precise, used for lighter or delicate goods

The mix of flute types impacts compression resistance and cost. Learn more about fluting options on our Gaylord box overview page.

Available in a range of standard sizes like 48”x40”x40”, as well as custom dimensions, these bins can be tailored to your workflow. Price is typically based on condition, design complexity, and volume ordered.
