Pails & Open-Head Buckets
About This Category

Filled, sealed, palletised, shipped

An open-head pail is a shipping container before it is a container. It is filled on a line, closed once, palletised, and not opened again until it reaches the buyer, so the two things that decide whether it is the right pail are the seal and the pallet arithmetic. 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.
