Box accessories.

  • Lids. Telescoping, flap-fold, and inset. Sized to standard footprints, custom sized on request.
  • Dividers / partitions. Honeycomb, single-wall, and triple-wall. Vertical and horizontal cells.
  • Inner liners. Poly bags (1–4 mil), antistatic, FDA-grade, drum-style.
  • Foam dunnage. Sheets, plugs, and shaped inserts for component protection.
  • Slip sheets. For palletless slip-load configurations.
  • Reinforcement corners. Edge protectors, pallet corners, vertical L-bars.

IBC tote accessories.

  • Valves. 2" NPT, S60×6 buttress, camlock, ball valves — new and refurbished.
  • Caps. Outlet caps, dust caps, fill caps in poly and steel.
  • Adapters. S60→NPT, S60→camlock, S60→hose-thread — every common chain in stock.
  • Cage repair kits. Bottom-bar replacements, vertical-bar weld kits.
  • Heat blankets / cold-weather wraps. For viscous-product totes.

Assembly hardware.

  • Banding (steel, poly, woven) and tensioner tools.
  • Stretch film, hand and machine grade.
  • Tape — clear, printed, water-activated kraft.
  • Stencils, markers, and replacement label kits.

We don't have an online catalog for accessories — our stock changes too fast and most of it ships paired to a box order. The fastest way to get a quote is to fill in the lead form above with what you're trying to assemble.

Lid spec reference.

Lid choice has a bigger effect on Gaylord box performance than most procurement specs reflect. Three styles, three trade-offs.

StyleHow it fitsMulti-trip ratingBest for
Telescoping (tray & cover)Slides over the entire box top with overlap5–7 trips with no degradationMulti-trip industrial, closed-loop
Flap-foldHinged flaps fold inward and tape closed2–3 trips before sealing surface failsSingle-trip or low-cycle
Inset (drop-in)Lid drops into the box top edge3–4 trips, common on octagonalsRound / octagonal Gaylords

Foam dunnage options.

Foam protects components during shipment. The three families we carry handle different protection profiles.

  • Polyethylene (PE) foam. Closed-cell, water-resistant, soft. Best for surface-protection of finished goods.
  • Polyurethane (PU) foam. Open-cell, very compressible, shock-absorbing. Best for fragile components.
  • Expanded polystyrene (EPS). Rigid, lightweight, cost-effective. Best for void-fill and lightweight bulk protection.

For custom-shaped foam inserts (die-cut to component geometry), lead times are 1–3 weeks. For sheet stock, off-the-shelf.

Inner liner specs.

A poly liner inside a Gaylord box keeps the contents clean and the box itself in better condition for re-use. Liner specifications vary by use case.

ThicknessMaterialUse case
1 milLDPEDust barrier, light protection
2 milLDPEGeneral contents protection
3 milLDPEHeavier loads, sharper edges
4 milLDPEHeavy industrial, abrasive contents

Banding and strapping reference.

Most outbound loads ship strapped or banded. We carry three families, each with different break-strength and cost profiles.

  • Poly strapping (PP). 1/2" or 5/8" common widths. Break strength 200–500 lbs. Cheapest. Best for general distribution.
  • Polyester strapping (PET). 1/2" or 5/8" common. Break strength 700–1,500 lbs. Best for heavy loads, can replace steel in most applications.
  • Steel strapping. 1/2" or 3/4". Break strength 1,500+ lbs. Best for heaviest industrial. Cuts easily on bare hands — handle with gloves.

Tensioner and crimp tools available for purchase or short-term rental.

What we don't stock.

Worth being explicit. We don't carry:

  • Wooden crates or crating lumber.
  • Bubble wrap (we'll recommend a regional supplier).
  • Custom printed labels (vendor referral).
  • Specialized industrial dunnage (e.g., air bags, void fill systems beyond foam sheet).
  • Hazmat-rated UN-spec packaging.

Frequently asked.

Do accessory orders ship separately or with a box order?

Either works. For small accessory orders we recommend pairing with a box order to keep freight reasonable. Standalone accessory orders typically need to hit a small minimum freight threshold or get held for a partner-carrier consolidation.

Can you source FDA-compliant liners for food applications?

Yes. FDA-grade virgin LDPE liners are part of our regular catalog. Specify in your request.

Are your foam inserts recyclable?

Depends on type. PE foam is recyclable in some streams; EPS is recyclable but limited regionally; PU is not generally recyclable. We'll match the right material to your end-of-life expectations.
