Since the 1940s, manufacturers have commonly used the gaylord – a corrugated bulk box mounted on a wood pallet – for shipping
and storing large quantities of products. But with the advent of the reusable plastic bulk container in the mid-1980s, and its
benefits of packaging cost-savings, material handling efficiencies, and environmental sustainability, the expendable corrugated
gaylord was largely replaced in durable goods manufacturing.
However, manufacturers that worked with flowable materials, such as resins, powders, granulated materials, liquids, and
semi-liquids, unfortunately discovered that the reusable plastic bulk container was not a viable solution; it could not withstand
the heavy pressure generated by flowable materials during storage and transit. Now, with RPP's introduction of the DuraGreen
Plastic Gaylord, there is a reusable plastic bulk container that can handle the pressure of flowable materials and provide many
cost-savings benefits not possible with a corrugated gaylord.
James Bartlett, RPP Container's vice-president of operations, says, "Manufacturers will find the heavy-duty design of our new
FDA-approved DuraGreen Plastic Gaylord, with steel-reinforced walls and base, is far superior to the corrugated gaylord. Not only
does it solve the flowable pressure problem, but its outstanding performance provides packaging cost savings, improved space
utilization, product protection, worker safety, and environmental sustainability."
