New Lightweight 5-Gallon Rigid Packaging

LEOMINSTER, Mass.—Plastican Inc.'s new lightweight 5-gallon rigid plastic container packages goods for the industrial and consumer markets, including building products, paints, foods, and a variety of do-it-yourself products.

Lightweight but strong due to Plastican’s proprietary resin-blending technology, the 40BL container offers 19 percent better weight per gallon of storage capacity than standard heavier-weight 5-gallon pails. The container also combines crack resistance, compression strength, and environmental sustainability.
The 40BL container is available in either high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, with or without recycled content. Lightweight lids are designed for easy removal and reseal.
