Quality & Environment

Whether it is steel drums or plastic packaging, these mostly consist of materials that can be easily recycled. This can help to reduce demand for virgin materials, whilst simultaneously helping to conserve resources and minimise waste. Meanwhile, this packaging may often be reused or repurposed for various applications, such as storage, or alternative packaging solutions, expanding their lifespan.

Industrial packaging is often designed with the effective transportation of dangerous goods in mind. For example, steel is generally chemically resistant and can handle a wide range of substances, including hazardous chemicals, oils, and solvents. Therefore, Steel drums are commonly used for safely storing and transporting chemicals and hazardous materials due to their high chemical compatibility. Meanwhile, Plastic packaging can have different levels of chemical compatibility depending on the type of plastic used. Both can be designed with effective lids and / or seals to prevent leakage during transportation. Choosing the appropriate material and packaging to meet regulatory standard and ensure safe transport or storing of goods is important.

The correct choice of packaging will be dependent upon the specific requirements, contents, and priorities of your specific application or industry. For example, steel drums are often known for their exceptional strength and chemical compatibility, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications and transportation of hazardous materials. Plastic packaging, on the other hand, can offer advantages such as lightweight design and chemical resistance, making it suitable for a multitude of applications.

Steel drums, polymer barrels, jerry cans and other forms of industrial packaging are designed to be easily transportable. Often this packaging is designed such that the structure that can withstand stacking and handling during transportation. Meanwhile, there are lightweight packaging options which increase manoeuvrability whilst also reducing the amount of fuel required to transport them, helping to reduce emissions during transportation. Most packaging stacked and palletised to ensure efficient use of space during any shipping.

When required, packaging can be designed to take into account specific colourways, logos, decoration, and more, in order to ensure that it is in line with your brand and specific requirements. This can help to contribute positively to brand image and awareness, whilst also enabling clear identification of packaging and products.

As previously mentioned, whether it is steel drums, plastic packaging, or other packaging materials, these mostly consist of materials that can be easily recycled.
