Why Used Boxes?
Reusing a box that still has life in it means one less new box has to be made, and it is often a practical way to cut packaging costs.
Lower Packaging Costs
Used boxes are often less expensive than new ones. Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers and depends on size, grade, and quantity.
Avoid Making a New Box
Reusing a box that is still structurally sound avoids manufacturing a new one, along with the material and energy that would take.
Recycle What Is Left
Boxes that are no longer fit for reuse can still be recycled into new paper products instead of going to landfill.
New vs. Used: Head-to-Head
| Criteria | New Boxes | Used Boxes |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per Unit | Full price | Often lower; priced by quote |
| Condition | Factory new | Graded by condition |
| Materials | New fiber and energy to manufacture | Reuses an existing box |
| Sizes | Any size to order | Depends on supplier stock |
| End of Life | Recyclable | Recyclable |
