Corrugated boxes shipped to Texas
Texas has more warehousing jobs than any state but California: 175,579 in 2025 across 2,174 establishments, a little over 9 percent of the US total. Dallas County alone counted 44,657 of them. When a Texas buyer asks us for boxes, it is most often for a distribution building that packs and ships every day.
Who orders boxes in Texas
Food manufacturing is the other big user of boxes here, with 112,088 jobs, the second highest of any state. Houston adds chemical plants and the Ship Channel, and San Antonio adds motor vehicle assembly. That spread means Texas orders run from light single wall cartons for parcels to double wall and pallet-size boxes for heavy or export loads.
Delivery and freight
Distances are long, so freight is a real part of a Texas quote. A Grand Prairie distribution centre and a Pasadena chemical plant are 250 miles apart. We price each order to the ZIP it goes to, and a buyer with buildings in several metros can send each ZIP on one request.

Worth knowing in Texas
Summer heat is the thing Texas buyers underrate. A trailer parked on a Laredo or Waco lot in August can run far hotter than the air, and board that sits in it dries and turns brittle at the scores. Keep bundles in a shaded, ventilated building, and do not stack flats against a sunny wall. Along the Gulf the opposite problem appears: humid air softens board, so cartons bound for Beaumont, Corpus Christi or Galveston warehouses should be stored off the floor and used in rotation, oldest first.
