Pails & Open-Head Buckets
About This Category

Filled, sealed, palletised, shipped

An open-head pail is filled on a line, closed once, palletised, and not opened again until it reaches the buyer. The seal and the pallet arithmetic decide whether it is the right pail. We publish both: the closure type per size, and the units per 20GP and 40HQ. Polypropylene where the contents allow it and the price matters; tinplate steel with a lever-lock ring or a flower lid where the contents are solvent-based, high-viscosity or dangerous goods.

Before you order: Pail wall thickness and closure type are set by the contents and the transport mode, not by the volume. Tell us what goes inside and how it ships and we will tell you which build applies.

For Buyers

Buying pails and buckets from Fortitude21

Are you a manufacturer of pails and buckets or a trader?

A manufacturer. We make pails and buckets at our production bases in Vietnam and China, to one specification managed from Singapore. You deal with the maker, so the drawing, the material and the finish stay the same from the first sample to every repeat order.

Do you supply pails and buckets wholesale?

Yes. We supply distributors, wholesalers, retailers and own-brand buyers, export packed. The minimum order is quoted per model and customisation, and each product page lists the carton quantity and, where we have it, the container load.

Can you supply pails and buckets under our own brand?

Yes. The marking and colour options depend on the material: laser etching or embossing, RAL powder coat on steel, masterbatch colour in plastic. Own-brand minimums are quoted with the specification.

How long does an order of pails and buckets take?

About one month for a standard production run, with samples in 7 to 15 days, confirmed against your specification at quotation.
