Gaylord boxes in Bucks County, Pennsylvania

Bucks County is the river county: Bristol, Bensalem and Falls Township lie along the Delaware just upstream of the city. The industry there is chemical manufacturing and emulsion polymers on one side and, on the other, a massive warehouse and logistics belt being built on land a steel mill once occupied.

The chemical plants use bulk boxes for resin and additives. The warehouses, as they fill, generate empties by the trailer. Food makers and distributors in Bensalem add a third stream. Together they make Bucks the county where all three of our lanes meet.

The sourced figures for the chemical plant and the warehouse build-out sit on the Bristol and Falls Township page, so we do not repeat them here. Inland, the picture is farms, light industry and the commuter towns of Newtown and Doylestown, which generate smaller and more irregular flows.

Nothing on this page names a customer, and we state no prices, minimums or turnaround times for any request.

This page covers 19007, 19020, 19030, 19054, 19055, 19056, 19057, 19067, 19047, 18974, 18951, 18901 and 19053. The industries to expect there, from our market research: chemical manufacturing, emulsion polymers, logistics, data centers and agriculture.

Warehouse tenants fill and empty in waves around retail seasons. The northern townships have farms that need bins in the late summer and fall.

• Buy. Resin and polymer handlers wanting multi-trip boxes, and farms needing harvest bins.
• Sell. New logistics tenants with piles of empties from a build-out.
• Recycle. Stacks that cannot be resold; fiber has value in bulk.

A trailer load from a new tenant is a good request: give us the count, the grade as you see it and the ZIP.

• Emulsion polymer. A plastic or resin made as tiny particles suspended in water, used in paints, coatings and adhesives, and a product of the Bristol plant.
• Cross-dock. A warehouse design in which freight moves from inbound trucks to outbound ones with little or no storage in between, common in the new Falls Township buildings.
• Pellet. A small cylinder of plastic resin, the usual form in which a polymer ships, poured into bulk boxes by the thousand pounds.

• Whether you are a tenant, a plant or a farm.
• The ZIP and the dock arrangement.
• How many boxes, in what grade and footprint.
• Whether you expect more every week or month.
