Prepare Your Boxes For Transportation

Prepare your boxes for pick up.

  • Ensure boxes are empty, clean, and flattened.
  • Sort, band, and palletize the boxes for organization and security.

This maintains box quality during transport and improves handling efficiency.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR BOXES CORRECTLY:

Box Type

If all your boxes have the same bottom style and dimensions, these questions do not apply; otherwise, please inform us if you have a mix of boxes with different bottom styles and dimensions.

Uniform Stacking

Alternate the direction of each box by 180 degrees to create uniform stacks and protect bottom flap conditions. For full flap bottom Gaylord boxes, fold the flaps to prevent them from hanging off.

Boxes Per Skid

For efficiency and ease of handling, we recommend stacking between 25 to 50 Gaylords per skid, maintaining a stacked height on the pallet of approximately 40 inches to 50 inches in total.

UNACCEPTABLE BOXES:

Keep Boxes Clean & Strong

Make sure your boxes are strong and not damaged. Boxes with holes, tears, dirt, or leftover stuff won’t be accepted by customers. Clean each box well to remove any dirt or food bits before selling.

Structural Integrity

Boxes must maintain full structural integrity for safe use. If boxes have rips, tears, dirt and contamination, they are deemed unsuitable and must not be used under any circumstances.  We must maintain quality and safety.

Residue & Contamination

Customers reject boxes with residue, so it is essential to ensure each box is free of all residue or contamination. Clean off any pellet, compound, or food residue from each box to maintain quality and customer satisfaction.
