What are buckets & pails?
Buckets & Pails are round polypropylene (PP) containers with snap-on lids and carry handles, made in two families: general-purpose plastic buckets with lids in 40L, 60L, 100L, 160L, 200L and 280L capacities, and paint/coating pails with a handle in a graduated range from 0.35L up to 25L. Every unit is injection-moulded PP, stackable and nestable for freight-efficient shipping, and specified by diameter, height and CBM so buyers can plan container loads before ordering.
Sourced by paint, coating, adhesive, lubricant, chemical and food-ingredient packers, plus hardware distributors and private-label fillers who need a consistent, moulded container in true container volumes. Choose the handled paint/coating pail range (0.35–25L) for retail-fill and product packaging, and the 40–280L bucket-with-lid range for bulk storage, mixing and decanting.

Buckets & Pails — frequently asked
What is the minimum order for buckets and pails?
Minimum order is typically one full container load (1 FCL); the exact per-product MOQ is confirmed when you apply for trade access. Because pails nest, a single 40' high-cube ships tens of thousands of units, so most buyers consolidate several capacities into one FCL.
Why can't I see wholesale prices on the site?
Specifications, dimensions and CBM are public. Wholesale pricing and a landed CIF estimate unlock when you log in as an approved trade buyer. This keeps container-direct pricing private to vetted accounts rather than exposed to the open market.
What sizes and capacities are available?
Two families cover most fill lines. Paint/coating pails with a handle run from 0.35L up to 25L (including 1L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 8L, 10L, 12L, 15L, 18L and 20L steps); buckets with lids come in 40L, 60L, 100L, 160L, 200L and 280L. Each SKU lists its diameter, height and CBM so you can match your filling equipment and case count exactly.
Are these buckets and pails food grade or suitable for chemicals and paint?
They are injection-moulded from polypropylene (PP), the standard resin for paint, coating, adhesive, lubricant and many food-contact applications. Confirmed food-contact declarations, resin grade and any application-specific compliance are provided on quote for your target market — we don't publish certifications we can't tie to your order.
How many pails fit in a container?
A 40' high-cube container offers about 76.3 m³ of usable volume; we estimate units per container from each product's CBM at roughly 85% stow efficiency, or use the supplier-stated figure where available. Because these pails nest inside each other, real-world container counts are far higher than the outer-CBM estimate — ask for the nested figure on quote.
Can lids, handles, colours and printing be customised?
Yes. Lid type (snap-on, tamper-evident), handle style, colour and in-mould or printed branding are all specifiable for container-direct runs. Custom colours and tooling typically carry their own minimums and lead times, confirmed with your quote when you apply for trade access.
