RPP Containers

40 x 48 x 46 Reusable Plastic Gaylords

A reusable plastic gaylord is a collapsible bulk container specifically designed to handle the rigorous demands of storing and transporting flowable materials such as resins, powders, granulated materials, liquids, and semi-liquids. They are sometimes referred to as intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) made from FDA-approved, food-grade polymers. With a weight capacity of up to 2,500* lbs., plastic gaylord containers are engineered to withstand the pressure of flowable materials, which is impossible with other bulk bins.
