A six-step path from the liquid you carry to the exact specification you order.
The wrong interior is the most common failure in a cheap jerry can. Work these six steps in order and you arrive at a specification that holds your liquid, fits your handling and clears your market.
The liquid picks the material. Hydrocarbon fuels want galvanized or coated steel, or aluminium where weight counts. Potable water and food-grade liquids want stainless steel. Industrial chemicals want HDPE, confirmed against a compatibility check. DEF wants a dedicated HDPE or stainless container. Read the compatibility guide before anything else.
Twenty litres of water weighs twenty kilograms before the can. The practical carrying limit for most people over any distance is closer to ten. Match the size to who lifts it and how far, and use our sizing calculator to turn a headcount or a refuelling point into a quantity.
The NATO upright pattern stacks and seats in standard carriers and holders. A horizontal, low-profile can slides under a seat or into a locker where an upright does not fit. Pick the form for where the can is stowed.
A screw cap carries and pours. A pouring spout directs the pour into a filler neck and cuts spillage. A tap lets you draw from the can while it sits still. Match the closure to how the liquid leaves the can.
A fuel or chemical container needs a UN packaging code for transport, and a fuel can sold in the US also needs EPA and CARB compliance. Food and water cans need food-contact documentation. Settle this before tooling, not after. See UN packaging codes and EPA and CARB compliance.
If the can carries your mark, decide early. Marking is laser etched or embossed, a metal body powder coated or a plastic body moulded to your colour. Custom work sets a minimum quantity, so fold it into the first order.
