Reusing a box avoids making a new one. Tell us the size, wall type, and condition you need and we pass your request to partner suppliers.
Single wall for everyday shipping, double wall for heavy-duty protection.
A simple way to say what you need. Partner suppliers may use their own terms, so confirm condition with them.
Minimal signs of use. Clean surfaces and no visible structural damage. A fit where appearance matters.
Light wear, may have minor printing or tape marks. Generally suitable for business shipments.
Moderate wear with visible printing or labels. Often used for storage, internal moves, and non-customer-facing jobs.
Heavy wear. May have dents or soft corners. Suited to padding, packing material, or short-term storage.

Used corrugated boxes will not suit every job, but for many they are a practical choice. Here is why people consider them.
Used boxes are often less expensive than new. Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers, so ask for a quote on both if you are comparing.
A clean used box in good condition can do the job for plenty of shipping and storage needs. Check the condition and strength before heavy use.
Reusing a box skips the pulping, pressing, drying, corrugating, and cutting that go into a new one.
The fiber in a used box has already been harvested and processed. Reuse gets more work out of it before it goes to recycling.
Moves, seasonal storage, and internal transfers often need a box only briefly. A used one may be plenty.
New custom boxes need to be made to order. Used boxes come in common sizes, though availability depends on partner suppliers.
Corrugated cardboard is widely recycled, so a used box can usually still go to recycling once it is done.
We take requests from Portland, Oregon and the metro area and pass them to partner suppliers. Pickup and delivery are available through them.
Used corrugated boxes can cover many of the jobs new boxes do. Here are some common uses.
Online sellers can use clean used boxes for shipments, especially when reuse fits their brand.
Organize inventory, seasonal stock, and supplies in uniform boxes that stack and label easily.
Moving around Portland? Used boxes in medium, large, and wardrobe sizes are worth asking about.
Businesses moving offices use boxes for files and equipment. Ask a partner supplier about delivery and pickup.
Companies processing returns often use more worn boxes for internal handling.
Brands that focus on sustainability may want clean used boxes as part of their story.
Artists, galleries, and craft sellers protect their work in suitably sized boxes with good padding.
Holiday pop-up shops and seasonal businesses can use used boxes for short-term inventory.
Local growers carrying packaged goods to market often want sturdy boxes. Avoid direct food contact with used boxes.
Nonprofits and community groups package donations and supplies in bulk.
Product teams can test packing setups with used boxes before committing to custom packaging.
Manufacturers and distributors move parts between sites in boxes that can be returned and reused.
Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers. We do not set prices. These are the factors a supplier will usually look at.

Proper storage helps corrugated boxes stay useful for longer. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of them.
Moisture is the main enemy of corrugated cardboard, and even humid air weakens it. In a Portland garage or shed, keep boxes away from exterior walls where condensation can form, and raise them on pallets to prevent ground moisture wicking.
Knocked-down boxes take up far less space than assembled ones. Stack them flat on pallets to prevent bowing or crushing from weight above.
Prolonged sunlight can leave board brittle and discolored. If boxes are near windows, cover them with an opaque tarp or wrap.
Follow a first-in, first-out system. Board ages slowly even in good conditions, so use your oldest boxes first.
Even sturdy double wall boxes have stacking limits. Excessive stacking compresses the bottom boxes and reduces their usable strength. Ask the supplier if you are unsure.
Before reusing a box, peel off old shipping labels and tape. This presents a clean surface and lets you check for hidden damage. A razor scraper helps with stubborn residue.
Recycling is good, and reuse comes first where it works. Extending the life of a box delays the need to make another one.
| Factor | Recycle | Reuse |
|---|---|---|
| Process | Pulped and made into new board | Used again as it is |
| Inputs | Energy, water, and transport | Mostly transport |
| Fiber | Shortens with each cycle | Unchanged by reuse |
| Limits | Takes most clean, dry corrugated | Box must still be sound |
A sound corrugated box can often be used more than once before it goes to recycling. How many times depends on the load and how it was handled. Each reuse avoids making a replacement box for that job.
Waste hierarchies generally rank actions from most to least preferred, starting with reducing and reusing, then recycling, then disposal. Reuse sits above recycling because it avoids remanufacturing for that use.
Paper fibers shorten each time they are recycled, and eventually they become too short to form strong board. That is why new fiber is added to the mix. Reuse does not put the fibers through that process.
