Forty-Five Years of Keeping Texas Business Moving, One Box at a Time
We are a packaging supply company in Houston, Texas, and we have been doing this since 1979. That means we opened our doors before the internet, before e-commerce, and before most people had ever heard of a poly mailer.
Today we stock thousands of items at our warehouse on Gessner and Harwin, from standard cardboard shipping boxes to stretch film, packing peanuts, wardrobe boxes, and reinforced tape. But the way we do business has not changed.
In 1979, Houston was a different city. The energy boom was reshaping the local economy, small businesses were opening along every major corridor, and people still believed that a handshake meant something. That was the year Anchor Box started.
We did not set out to become a national catalog company or a multinational packaging corporation. We set out to solve a simple problem. Local businesses needed corrugated shipping boxes, packing tape, and protective cushioning, and they needed it without waiting weeks for a truck to arrive from another state.
So we opened a warehouse. We stocked the basics. Corrugated containers in standard sizes. Bubble wrap for fragile items. Kraft paper and newsprint for void fill. Poly bags for small parts. We priced things fairly and we learned our customers' names.
Over the decades, Houston changed around us. The oil bust of the 1980s tested every local business. The boom years of the 1990s brought new industries and new shipping needs. Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017 reminded everyone why keeping local inventory matters.
We do not believe in telling a small business owner that they have to buy five hundred boxes when they only need twenty. Whether you need one roll of bubble wrap or a pallet of corrugated cartons, you can pick it up today at our Houston warehouse.
Our stock is not sitting in a fulfillment center in another state. It is in our building at 5889 S. Gessner. You can walk in and touch it. That matters when you have a shipment going out this afternoon.
We do not inflate prices so we can offer fake discounts. We price our shipping and packing materials honestly because we plan on being here for another forty-five years.
We have spent decades learning board grades, stretch film, strapping, bubble sizes, and freight requirements. That expertise is free. Ask us anything.
We do not specialize in one industry because Houston does not specialize in one industry. Over forty-five years, we have learned what different businesses need from their packaging and shipping materials.
Poly mailers, corrugated shipping boxes, bubble cushioning, packing list enclosed envelopes, and shipping labels in quantities that make sense for growing online businesses.
Wardrobe boxes, mattress covers, furniture pads, file boxes, heavy-duty cartons, bubble wrap, packing paper, and stretch film.
Heavy-duty corrugated containers, air freight cargo boxes, die-cut bin boxes, and stretch wrap for palletized loads.
Mission trip supplies, donation drive boxes, and event setup materials with no minimum orders and no account setup required.
Economy zipper bags, foam containers, greaseproof paper, and food-safe packaging supplies for Houston's restaurant industry.
Standard shipping boxes, corrugated sheets and pads, edge protectors, strapping, and handling labels built for real freight requirements.
We are located at 5889 S. Gessner at Harwin, Houston, Texas 77036. This is not a virtual office or a drop-ship operation. This is a real warehouse with real inventory, real loading docks, and real people who can answer your questions.
Our warehouse serves businesses throughout Harris County and the greater Houston metro area, from Katy and Sugar Land to Pasadena and the Ship Channel.
