Canisters

Canisters for Safe Storage and Professional Filling Processes When many litres need to be reliably transported, filled or stored, stable packaging solutions play an important role. Our canisters provide you with a practical basis for industrial processes and a wide range of applications. In our range you will find different variants in various sizes, shapes and colours. This creates maximum flexibility when selecting suitable packaging for different applications. Whether for cosmetics, chemicals or room fragrance – our solutions support professional processes involving liquids and ensure efficient processes in everyday use. Plastic Canisters for Several Litres Made of High-Quality Materials Our plastic canisters are made of robust materials and are ideal for professional use. HDPE is frequently used, a resistant plastic based on polyethylene that is characterised by stability and versatile applications. Different sizes are available depending on the area of application. Variants such as these are particularly popular: 10 L canister, 20 L canister or 30 L canister. The respective number of litres depends on your requirements and supports efficient production and storage planning. For sensitive contents, solutions with food-safe properties are also available. This makes certain packaging suitable for special applications as well. Storing Several Litres Reliably In addition to material quality, functionality also plays an important role. Our variants are available with a matching closure and support clean handling in everyday work. For targeted dispensing, we also offer canisters with a tap. An integrated tap makes controlled dosing of various contents easier and ensures clean processing. In addition, you get variants with a spout, allowing liquids to be decanted in a controlled and efficient manner. Depending on the area of use, properties such as material thickness or approval can play an important role. Classic variants such as water canisters or petrol canisters are also well-known solutions in the field of larger packaging units.

FAQ – Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Which canisters are suitable for food? Canisters that are expressly intended for food contact are suitable for food. They are often made of food-grade HDPE and are offered with matching, tightly sealing closures. What matters is that canister and closure are suitable for the specific filling product and meet the applicable requirements for food contact materials. Suitability should be checked against the manufacturer's documentation before filling. What does "food-safe" mean for canisters? "Food-safe" means that a canister is suitable for direct contact with food when used as intended. The material must not release substances into the filling product in quantities that are harmful to health and must not inadmissibly affect its taste, odour or composition. Suitability can depend on factors such as the type of food, temperature and contact time. What is HDPE and why is it used for canisters? HDPE stands for "high-density polyethylene". The plastic is lightweight, stable, break-resistant and resistant to many liquids and chemicals. It is also easy to process and recycle. Because of these properties, HDPE is frequently used for canisters in the food, chemical, cosmetics and cleaning agent industries. Which canister sizes are common for B2B applications? In the commercial sector, canisters with volumes of 5, 10, 20, 25 and 30 litres are common, among others. Smaller sizes are suitable, for example, for samples, concentrates or high-quality ingredients. Larger canisters are frequently used for cleaning agents, food ingredients, chemical products and industrial liquids. The right size depends on the filling product, consumption, transport, storage and dosing. What is the difference between a wide-neck canister and a standard canister? A wide-neck canister has a particularly large opening. This makes it easier to fill, empty and clean, and it is also suitable for viscous, pasty or lumpy products. A standard canister has a smaller opening and is primarily intended for free-flowing liquids. Which variant is more suitable depends on the consistency of the product and the desired filling process. When do you need a canister with an outlet tap? An outlet tap is useful when liquids need to be portioned regularly, cleanly and as precisely as possible. Typical applications are cooking oils, syrups, cleaning agents, disinfection products or other low-viscosity liquids. It is important that the tap is chemically and technically compatible with the filling product and remains reliably tight during transport and storage. Which canisters are suitable for chemical products? Robust HDPE canisters are frequently used for chemical products. However, suitability must always be checked for the specific filling product, as concentration, temperature, storage time and possible interactions play a role. For hazardous substances, UN approval, a tamper-evident closure and other legally required markings may also be necessary. A general material specification therefore does not replace an individual compatibility test. What does UN approval mean for canisters? UN approval indicates that the packaging design has been tested and approved for the transport of certain dangerous goods. The UN marking on the canister contains information on the design and the tests passed. Whether a particular canister may be used depends, among other things, on the dangerous goods, the packing group, the density of the filling product and the respective mode of transport. Not every UN canister is automatically suitable for every hazardous substance. Can canisters be individually printed or labelled? Yes, plastic canisters can be individually designed depending on the version and order quantity. Possible options include product labels, hazardous substance markings, batch information, barcodes or customer-specific direct printing. Which solution is suitable depends on the material, surface, print run, area of use and desired durability. We will be happy to advise you on a suitable labelling and packaging solution. Are wholesale canisters available with individual filling? Yes, on request, business customers receive not only suitable canisters from us but also support with individual filling. Depending on the project, the selection of packaging, filling, closure as well as labelling and assembly can be coordinated. Tell us the product type, desired container size, quantity and any special requirements so that we can check feasibility individually. Which canisters are suitable for cosmetic raw materials or liquids? HDPE canisters in different sizes are suitable for many cosmetic raw materials and liquid cosmetic products. Depending on the contents, standard canisters, wide-neck canisters or variants with a dosing aid may be useful. As oils, alcohols, fragrances, surfactants and other ingredients place different demands, material, closure and seal should always be matched to the respective formulation. What minimum order quantities apply to plastic canisters? The minimum order quantity depends on the canister model, size, colour, closure and desired customisation. Standard versions are often already available in smaller packaging units. Higher minimum quantities may apply to special colours, individual printing, special labels or customer-specific filling. For a specific quote, we therefore need the desired version and quantity.
