Proper packaging affects both price and logistics.

Gaylord Boxes

  • Loose plastic
  • Mixed shapes

Pros:

  • Easy to fill
  • Flexible

Cons:

  • Less dense (higher shipping cost)

Bales

Best for:

  • Film
  • Consistent scrap

Pros:

  • Dense (cheaper transport)
  • Higher value per load

Cons:

  • Requires baler equipment

Which Should You Use?

  • Small operations → Gaylords
  • High-volume → Bales
