Giving Boxes a Second Life, Since 2020
Boise Boxes was founded on a simple observation: millions of perfectly good corrugated boxes are thrown away every year after a single use. We decided to change that — one box at a time, right here in the Treasure Valley.

Our Impact in Numbers
From a single warehouse to serving over a thousand businesses — every number represents real boxes saved and real environmental impact.
Creating a Circular Economy for Corrugated Packaging
Our mission is to reduce packaging waste by keeping corrugated boxes in circulation for as long as possible. The average corrugated box can be reused 5 to 7 times before the fiber degrades — yet most boxes are discarded after a single use. That represents an enormous waste of energy, water, and raw materials.
We close the loop by buying used boxes from businesses, inspecting and grading them, refurbishing those that need repair, and reselling them to other businesses at a fraction of the cost of new packaging. When a box finally reaches the end of its structural life, we ensure it is recycled responsibly — never landfilled.
Every box we save from the waste stream means fewer trees cut down, less water consumed, and less carbon emitted. That is not just good for the planet — it is good for Boise businesses who save 30-50% on their packaging costs.

Our warehouse at 805 S 17th St in Boise, Idaho — where every box is inspected, graded, and prepared for its next life
Our Core Values
These are not aspirations — they are the principles we apply to every decision, every order, and every customer interaction.
Sustainability First
Every decision we make starts with one question: does this reduce waste? From sourcing used boxes locally to optimizing delivery routes for lower emissions, sustainability is not a marketing buzzword — it is our operating principle.
Community Impact
We are a Boise business serving Boise businesses. We hire locally, source locally, and reinvest in the Treasure Valley. When local companies thrive with lower packaging costs, the entire community benefits.
Uncompromising Quality
Used does not mean unreliable. Every box in our inventory is inspected, graded, and backed by our quality guarantee. We built our reputation on consistency, and we protect it with every order we fill.
Continuous Innovation
From our Eco Impact Calculator to our box buyback logistics system, we are always looking for smarter ways to extend box lifecycles, reduce friction for customers, and measure environmental impact with precision.
Our Journey
From a small warehouse in 2020 to serving over 1,000 businesses today — here are the milestones that shaped Boise Boxes.
The Beginning

Delivery Fleet & Refurbishment
Launched our own delivery fleet covering the Boise metro area with same-day and next-day options. Introduced box refurbishment services to extend the useful life of damaged inventory.
500,000 Boxes Recycled
Hit the milestone of 500,000 boxes diverted from landfills. Launched the Eco Impact Calculator so customers can measure their own environmental contribution. Expanded into gaylord and specialty box categories.
1,000+ Businesses Served
Surpassed 1,000 active business customers. Introduced bulk supply programs, dedicated account management, and volume pricing tiers for high-volume operations.
Looking Ahead
