Portland's Most Complete Used Box Inventory

Portland Boxes maintains the Pacific Northwest's largest inventory of used corrugated packaging, with over 200 distinct SKUs in stock at any given time. Our 40,000-square-foot warehouse in Portland, Oregon, houses everything from compact 6x6x6 shippers to massive triple-wall gaylord containers rated for 2,500+ pounds. Whether you are shipping handmade candles from a home studio or palletizing automotive parts across a factory floor, we have the box and the expertise to match.

Every box in our facility follows a rigorous intake process: visual inspection, structural compression testing, cleaning, grading, and sorting by size and wall type. Boxes that do not meet resale standards are baled and sent to local recycling mills, ensuring zero waste leaves our operation. This closed-loop system means that when you buy from Portland Boxes, you are participating in one of the most efficient material-reuse programs in the region.

We serve businesses of every scale, from solo entrepreneurs buying a single bundle to Fortune 500 distribution centers ordering truckloads on recurring schedules. Our product range spans used single-wall and double-wall corrugated boxes, standard and heavy-duty gaylord containers, brand-new boxes for regulated applications, a full line of packaging accessories, and fully custom solutions with bespoke sizing, kitting, and branding. Whatever the requirement, our goal is always the same: deliver the most sustainable option that meets your performance needs at the lowest possible cost.
