Octagon / octabin

8-sided builds for resins, powders, and liquids. Stack better than rectangulars, hold more volume per footprint.

Triple-wall heavy

Up to 82 ECT, 2,500+ lbs static. For metals, castings, fasteners, and anything dense and angular.

Die-cut & windowed

Pick-windows, top-load access, drop-front gates. Cut on our line, glued on-spec.

Branded & printed

1–4 color flexo print on virgin kraft. For retail-ready or returnable container programs.

Liner-integrated

Pre-installed FDA, anti-static, or foil-barrier liners. Boxes leave our yard sealed and ready.

Returnable / closed-loop

Reinforced, labeled, and trackable boxes for between-facility programs. We close the loop end-to-end.

How to ask

Three lines is enough.

A quotable custom request needs three things — dimensions, load weight, and quantity. Everything else we'll figure out with you in the reply.

  • Dimensions (L × W × H): in inches, outside
  • Load weight + product type: pounds, plus what's going in
  • Quantity: per order, and order frequency
  • Optional: liner, print, lid, lead time
