Plastic Pails
We stock threaded screw top, twist and lock, heavy duty and easy open plastic pails and plastic buckets. Stock size range from 1 to 6.5 gallons.
All colors except black are virgin polyethylene and are food grade. We have listed our food grade plastic tubs at the bottom should plastic food containers also be of interest to you. Plastic tubs and deli cups are specifically for foodstuffs and are lighter weight containers.
Our 2.5 gallon plastic ice cream pails are very popular with ice cream shops.
Printed Plastic Pails
Printed pails can be special ordered.
Need a tool to help remove the lids – consider this tool – sold separately
PCI40CLLWHNT lid fits both 3.5 and 5 gallon twist & lock pails. Twist and Lock plastic pails are similar to threaded screw top pails but are engineered differently to require only a moderate twist to engage locking tabs that hold the cover in place.
Easy open plastic pails have more pliable lighter covers that allow the lids to be removed easier. By way of contrast, most heavy duty plastic pails have rugged construction and covers that are focused more on security in transit. Easy open plastic pails, while still providing an adequate closure, are focused more on ease of opening and closing on the consumer end.
Our ice cream pails; so named because they are often used by ice cream shops, are similar to easy open pails but in a 2.5 gallon size.
Heavy duty plastic pails are rugged shipping containers. Some colors are stock, while others require a minimum purchase quantity to run. Please contact us if you have questions about minimums for a particular color or custom colored plastic pail. 1 Gallon Heavy Duty
2 Gallon Heavy Duty
3.5 Gallon – 6.5 Gallon Heavy Duty
Solid Covers
Spouted Covers
Our 5 gallon UN Liquid Pails can be used for Packing Group II and Packing Group III (Y). Covers that are available are both a solid cover and a cover with a flexspout installed.
These heavy duty shipping containers are intended for liquid and offer performance and security characteristics that are not possible with typical open top containers. Either container can be fitted with a flo-right faucet for controlled dispensing. Note that the blue container takes a screw plug (threads on the inside of container) while the round natural container takes a screw cap (threads on the outside of the container). Both have the appropriate 3/4 ” center thread for the faucet.
Plastic food tubs are perfect for foodstuffs and other applications where a lighter weight container is more appropriate. Also check out our easy open plastic pails and ice cream pails if a lighter weight food container is what you are looking for. Plastic Tubs – Lids sold separately
