Charlotte region, NC and SC I-85 I-77 I-40
Charlotte Gaylord Co. is a regional gaylord supplier for the plants and warehouses along I-85 and I-77, on both sides of the North Carolina and South Carolina line. We move empties out and the right boxes in, inside one region.
The Charlotte region makes and moves more than almost anywhere in the Carolinas. Truck plants in Mount Holly and Gastonia, aerospace forging in Monroe, fiber-optic cable and furniture in Hickory, plastics in Rowan, Lincoln and Chester counties, and distribution centers from Concord to Rock Hill: each of them either receives goods in bulk boxes and runs out of floor space for the empties, or needs boxes to ship parts, resin and scrap.
Gaylords should circulate inside the region. The empties stacking up at one plant's receiving dock are the boxes another plant down I-85 or I-77 needs, on either side of the state line. That is the whole company: close the loop at home.
We speak in wall counts, bottoms and footprints, not in catalog numbers. We treat a request from a seller and a request from a buyer as equals. One form takes both. We say what a used box can and cannot do, and when a stack is better sent on as OCC, we say so.
We do not quote prices, minimum quantities or turnaround times on this site. We do not claim a used box is UN-rated or food safe. We do not name an employer as a customer. We do not show a street address, a phone number, a yard or a team: contact goes through the request form and info@charlottegaylordco.com.
A dashed line runs through our header, because the NC and SC border runs through the middle of the region's corridors. Rock Hill and Fort Mill are part of our home ground, not an extra zone, and Gastonia and Mount Holly are on the same freight lanes. Metro Charlotte had 2,595,027 people at the 2020 Census and spans eight North Carolina counties and three South Carolina counties (source).
The boxes hub lists the types, the sell hub explains the stack and the guides answer the questions. The areas hub draws the corridor.
Send the count, the footprint and the wall count. That is enough to start. If a request will not fit the form, write to info@charlottegaylordco.com.
A request is read in four passes. First the footprint and wall count, because they decide what the box is. Second the bottom and the condition, because they decide what it is still good for. Third the ZIP, because it places the stack among the counties and cities on this site. Fourth the history of the box, such as liners, oil, print or damp, because it decides who can use it next. A stack described in that order is understood quickly, and one described out of order takes a round of questions.
The county and city pages carry real data: ZIP codes, the interstates, the industries and employers named in the regional market data, with the sources listed. We would rather say that Belmont runs textiles and chemical products than say that we serve every plant in the area. A reader who finds their own town described accurately has a reason to trust the rest of the page.
We do not publish prices, minimums, delivery times or who pays for freight. We do not say a used box is food safe, and we do not claim certifications. We do not show customer photos or reviews, because there are none on this site. The sizes and ratings are published by makers, and we repeat them with the source, a made-to-order note and a date.
If you have a stack, start with the request form. If you are working out what to ask for, the guides cover wall counts, bottoms, grading and truck arithmetic. If you are comparing sizes, the size board lists the ten footprints with their volumes and ratings.
