Corrugated boxes shipped to Florida
Florida had 105,401 warehousing jobs in 2025, fourth among the states. The surprise is where they are: Polk County, between Tampa and Orlando, led with 19,862, ahead of Duval (Jacksonville) at 15,372 and Miami-Dade at 13,042.
Who orders boxes in Florida
Distribution for the state's population and its visitors drives box demand: grocery wholesale employed 63,967 people, third in the country. Miami adds trade with Latin America and the Caribbean through its port and airport, and Florida had 254 million cubic feet of refrigerated warehouse space for produce, seafood and frozen goods.
Delivery and freight
Humidity is a factor in Florida warehouses; boxes stored for months in an unconditioned building lose some stacking strength, so tell us how long they will sit. The Miami metro has its own page.

Worth knowing in Florida
Florida's humidity is constant rather than seasonal, and air-conditioned storage is the exception in older warehouses. Board absorbs moisture, loses stacking strength and can warp if it sits in damp air for long. Keep bundles wrapped until they are needed and away from dock doors that stay open. During hurricane season, many shippers build up extra stock in July and August; plan that early, because boxes, like everything else, get scarce in the days before a storm.
