==== Introduction ====

A bulk box, also known as a bulk bin, skid box, pallet box, bin box, gaylord, or octabin is a pallet-size box used for storage and shipping of bulk quantities.

==== Challenges ====

Sometimes [[:pallets|pallets]] require walls to contain objects prone to rolling or shifting, especially under motion.

==== Approaches ====

Crates should stack, attach, and detach in standardized ways for maximum interchangeability.
