Wholesale Buckets and Pails Packaging
Paramount Global, a leader in packaging solutions, offers a variety of bulk pails and buckets for wholesale purchase. These containers are used across a variety of industries due to their durable and functional design for holding higher volumes of product for both business and consumer products.
Pails are designed to be strong, durable, and economical. Depending on the product’s needs, plastic or metal options are available with a range of linings or thicknesses to ensure product compatibility.
Plastic is durable but lightweight, allowing it to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling. It’s also a more energy-efficient option since it requires less fuel during shipping. Metal, specifically steel, is heavier but has tough barrier properties to withstand the most hazardous chemicals.
Both plastic and metal are trusted for their durability and can be
UN rated for hazardous materials.
We offer a wide variety of buckets and pails in various capacities. We also provide custom decoration services to create your own unique packaging. At Paramount Global, we are committed to providing the highest quality packaging solutions, and our drums and barrels are no exception.
