Heavy-Duty Watermelon Boxes for Bulk Produce Handling

What Are Watermelon Boxes?
Watermelon boxes—also known as watermelon bins or bulk produce containers—are large, corrugated Gaylord boxes designed specifically for storing and shipping watermelons and similar products. Constructed from triple-wall cardboard, these bins provide the durability needed to handle the weight, moisture, and irregular shape of watermelons during harvest and distribution.
Many watermelon bins are printed with bright, produce-themed illustrations or labels, making them easy to identify in storage and helping promote seasonal appeal at farm stands or grocery displays.
Built for Agricultural Demands
Watermelon boxes are engineered for the specific challenges of transporting large, heavy fruit:
- High weight capacity to support dozens of watermelons
- Strong corners and reinforced fluting for stacking and forklift handling
- Moisture resistance to hold up in coolers or shaded storage
These containers are often reused multiple times across a harvest season and can be collapsed for space-saving storage when empty.


Sizes, Styles & Seasonal Availability
Most watermelon bins follow standard Gaylord box dimensions (such as 48"x40"x36"), but custom sizing and wall thickness options are available to meet different crop yields and shipping conditions.
Pricing varies based on box type, order volume, and whether you’re sourcing new or used agricultural packaging. Seasonal buyers should plan ahead, as availability often tightens during peak harvest months.
