Cardboard Balers
A cardboard baler crushes and compresses waste cardboard to save space, time, and money. Segregate clean and dry cardboard and feed it into the machine to produce uniform bales that are easy to store and transport. Paper and cardboard balers can process boxes, packaging, newspapers, sheets, and more.
Using a cardboard baler machine can reduce the volume of cardboard by up to five or ten times, depending on the type of cardboard. This enables your business to save money on waste management by cutting down on the number of collections required. A baler for cardboard also saves space on your site compared to having numerous dumpsters.
At Business Waste, we can provide a wide range of cardboard balers for companies of any size and industry. Find out more about renting a cardboard baler and get a free quote to rent a cardboard baler for your organization today – call 888 584 2118 or contact us online.

Cardboard Waste
Paper and cardboard recycling balers
Paper and cardboard are similar materials, but to improve recycling they should be stored and processed separately. This includes baling high volumes of such waste materials. We can provide individual balers for cardboard and paper, so your business can segregate such trash appropriately and create bales of purely paper or cardboard.
The difference between paper and cardboard balers is simply the materials you can feed into each one. Many of the balers themselves and the bales they produce are similar sizes and shapes while following the same processes. Separating paper and cardboard is important to improve recyclability and minimize the risk of contamination of the bales.
Use a cardboard baler for cardboard boxes, packaging, corrugated cardboard, sheets, and other cardboard materials. A paper baler is suitable for newspapers and magazines, paper cups, office and printer paper, brochures, and shredded paper. Always ensure materials fed into either a cardboard or paper baler are clean, dry, and free of other contaminants.
Industrial cardboard baler
sizes and types
An industrial cardboard baler is ideal for businesses in manufacturing, retail, logistics, and other industries that produce high volumes of waste cardboard. They’re available in various types and sizes to suit organizations with different outputs, available floor space, and any other specific requirements.
All balers for cardboard and paper have similar components with a hydraulic-powered ram, compaction chamber, and platen for compression. They differ in their size, capacities, and orientation, which affects how much waste they can process and the size of bales they produce.
Options are available from a small cardboard baler that’s compact and ideal for a store or office that has a relatively low output to large cardboard balers best for big manufacturing plants, factories, and packaging producers. There are many different types and sizes of industrial cardboard balers, but the key difference is whether they’re horizontal or vertical.
There are two main types of cardboard recycling balers:
- Horizontal cardboard balers – these large cardboard balers take up more floor space than vertical ones, but can process greater volumes of waste cardboard. They’re ideal for manufacturing operations, distribution centers, and logistics businesses that create high volumes of waste cardboard. Open and closed-ended horizontal cardboard balers that are semi or fully automatic and apply hundreds of tons of pressure compress significant amounts of cardboard.
- Vertical cardboard balers – various sizes of vertical cardboard balers are available, but they’re smaller than horizontal ones. Using a small cardboard baler is better for retail stores, offices, and smaller warehouses that create moderate amounts of cardboard waste. They require less floor space but can be tall, so accessibility is still a consideration. Compression force can still be up to around 200 tons and they generally produce smaller bales that may be easier to manage.
