Real-World Impact: 5 Gallon Pails Making a World of Difference
One of our most versatile items is the 5 gallon plastic pail. The sturdy containers can be used for transportation, storage, and more.

With these reusable pails, residents could collect and store water from their community well. UDB also partnered with Cary Design for the creation of their logo.

Pails vs. Buckets
Believe it or not, there is a difference between a pail and a bucket. Our wide range of buckets and pails allow you to choose the right style for your needs. With countless uses, these containers are great due to their versatility. Our steel pails are a popular choice in the manufacturing, construction, and agriculture industries. Plastic pails, with bright color options, are a must-have for color coordination systems. After their initial use, pails and buckets can be reutilized for countless other needs, making them cost-effective, long-lasting resources. A 5 gallon bucket in a garden can take your planting to the next level. If you’re still stuck between a steel or plastic bucket, remember the dimensions of the two are different.
Plastic Containers That Can Hold Food!
Plastic continues to be a top choice across the food industry, from containers used in restaurants, to jars and bottles for food packaging. It is important to make sure the right plastics are being used to hold food products in accordance with FDA regulations. Our product specialists are available to help explain what the differences are between FDA Approved, FDA Compliant, and Food Grade. Identifying the right type of plastic container for food storage helps prevent the spread of potentially harmful chemicals, like BPA.
Material:
High density polyethylene (HDPE ) is the most commonly used resin. This economical plastic has good impact and chemical resistance, is naturally translucent and flexible. It is typically used for personal care products such as shampoo bottles. Adding color will give HDPE an opaque look that will result in an increase in weight and rigidness. We have a variety of these rigid and tough high density polyethylene products in stock, from containers, pails, bottles, caps, tubs and jugs. HDPE plastic has moderate heat tolerance, with a melting point ranging from 120°F-180°F depending on the product and application. Testing is recommended. HDPE also generally works well in below freezing temperatures.Disclaimer:
