Ox Box has been setting the standard for heavy duty corrugated packaging since 1945 — a legacy of more than eight decades that few companies in any industry can match. As an industry leader in heavy duty corrugated packaging, Ox Box provides high-quality packaging solutions with strength you can depend on®.
Ox Box Beginnings
Founded as Ockerlund Industries in Addison, Illinois, Ox Box has grown from a regional packaging supplier into a nationally recognized leader in industrial corrugated solutions, serving thousands of manufacturers, distributors, and logistics operations across all 50 states. Over that span, the company has earned a reputation built on three fundamentals: quality you can measure, service you can count on, and performance that holds up under the most demanding real-world conditions.
The Ox Box Difference
What separates Ox Box from the broader corrugated market is a consistent commitment to engineering innovation at the heavy duty end of the spectrum — where standard boxes simply aren’t enough. The company pioneered product lines like the E-Z Shipping Kit®, engineered specifically for sea container and rack-storage environments, and developed eco-board® — a breakthrough corrugated material that incorporates plastic from recycled water bottles to create weatherproof, export-compliant packaging that rivals the protection of wood crating. That innovation even drew national attention when eco-board® was selected to ship rodent-eliminating chemicals to a remote island near Antarctica, a testament to the material’s real-world performance under extreme conditions.

This strategic initiative signals a clear-eyed focus: Ox Box is committed entirely to corrugated excellence, positioning itself not just as a long-tenured supplier, but as the definitive leader in industrial-strength corrugated packaging for the next generation of supply chain demands.
