What Are Produce Boxes?

Produce boxes, in this context, refer to large corrugated gaylord boxes used for storing and transporting high volumes of fruits and vegetables. Also known as agricultural bulk bins or produce Gaylords, these containers are designed to fit securely on standard pallets for easy handling with forklifts or pallet jacks.

These boxes are common in farming, wholesale, and distribution. They protect produce during shipping and allow for efficient stacking. Many include ventilation slots or open tops to help reduce spoilage during transport.

Why Use Produce Boxes for Agricultural Shipping?

Produce boxes are built to handle the weight and moisture of fresh fruits and vegetables. They’re strong, stackable, and often treated to resist water damage in storage or transit. Many are made from 2-wall, 3-wall, or heavier corrugated cardboard, depending on the crop’s weight.

Ventilation is another key feature — slotted sides or open tops help air flow through the container, keeping crops cooler and reducing the risk of mold or rot.

Common Applications

Farmers use produce boxes to collect, store, and ship harvested crops. These containers are also used at packing houses, produce auctions, and food distribution centers. They’re ideal for crops like pumpkins, watermelons, squash, and cabbage, and some are even used in markets for display and sale.

Produce-Specific Designs

Some produce boxes include features designed for specific crops, such as printed labels with illustrations of pumpkins or watermelons. These modifications make the contents easily identifiable and help advertise the product to customers. Some feature slotted bottoms to allow for water drainage.
