Gaylords in Taunton, Massachusetts
Taunton is on Route 24 and I-495 and is home to the Myles Standish Industrial Park, a warehousing and distribution cluster. It is the southern end of the chart and a large source of dry empties.
Myles Standish, by the published numbers
Myles Standish Industrial Park covers 1,029 acres with about 100 companies, 7,400 employees and 5.8 million square feet of buildings, including warehousing and distribution centers. In 2015 MassDevelopment and the Taunton Development Corporation sold 115 acres of the 220-acre expansion to the wine and spirits distributor Martignetti Companies for a 680,000 square foot regional headquarters for more than 800 employees. In 2018 MassDevelopment announced the sale of 11.3 acres there to Rhino Capital Advisors, which planned a building to lease to NN, Inc. These companies are named only as context for the park.
The expansion sits on the former Paul Dever School site and added lots for manufacturers. A park that size is a dense network of receiving docks.
Beverage boxes and what they are
Wine and spirits distribution moves glass, and glass moves in strong boxes. The outer gaylords that arrive with bottle components or cases tend to be four-wall or five-wall with full flap bottoms. Condition varies with the weather and the length of storage, so ask whether they stayed dry. Boxes that sat in damp storage lose strength; corrugated can lose roughly half its compression strength as humidity climbs from 50 percent to 90 percent.
Manufacturers in the park are the buyers on the other side: a plant that packs heavy goods wants exactly the boxes a beverage distributor empties.
The southern end of the chart
Taunton is on Route 24 and I-495 together, with Route 140 nearby. It is the bottom of the Route 24 channel on the home page map and the last stop before the road continues toward Fall River. A seller here is close to Brockton and Franklin by road.
Send a sell request with the weekly count, the footprint and the bottom style, and add whether boxes are stored indoors. For recycling worn board, send a recycle request with the count and the schedule.
Taunton's dock is usually in the industrial park or beside it, so the best locator is the building name or street, not only the ZIP. Beverage and spirits boxes have their own habits: heavy loads. Describe the product that arrived in them, and whether it was on a slip sheet.
Close by on the chart: Brockton, Franklin, and Canton.
Questions
- Do you work with the companies named at Myles Standish?
- No. They are named only as context from public announcements, with dates. They are not customers or suppliers of ours.
- How does humidity affect boxes?
- Industry guidance puts the loss of compression strength near half when relative humidity rises from 50 to 90 percent, so we ask how boxes were stored.
