Q & A
Customer Questions
Is the lid reusable?
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this lid is reusable. The container can be opened and shut after the container is unsealed (i.e., once the tear tab has been removed). However, once the tear tab is removed, the tamper-evident feature is no longer present. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
Do these lids allow the pails to be stacked onto each other?
Thank you for your question. Yes, these lids allow the pails to be stacked. The tapered bottom of the pails also enables easy stacking. The weight limit for each pail/lid combination is 250 lbs. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
Is the lid airtight? I need containers that can store dry food like pasta for a long time.
Thank you for your inquiry. Although these lids provide a tight seal, they do not provide an airtight seal. You are welcome to order a sample of this lid to see if it can accommodate you needs by clicking here. Thank you for choosing The Cary Company.
Can this plastic pail lid be used for food products?
If the pail lid is FDA approved, then it can be used to store food products.
Some of your plastic pail lids have a spout. What are the benefits of these spouts?
If your plastic pail contains liquids, these spouts offer many benefits. These spouts allow controlled flow of the pail contents as they’re emptied. Many of these spouts can be fitted with pumps that enable dosed dispensing of the pail contents.
Which plastic pail lids fit which plastic pails?
If you look at the product page for any of our pail lids, the compatible pail(s) for that lid will be listed under the Related Products section of the product page. For UN rating compatibility, match the UN ratings of the pail and lid. For example, match a pail with a UN rating of UN1H2/Y12/S to the matching lid that has the same UN rating (UN1H2/Y12/S).
What does the Pail Series mean?
Our plastic pails and lids are classified as part of a designated Series, which makes pairing this plastic lid with a compatible pail easier. Simply match the size (e.g., 5 gallon) and series (P5 Series) of the pail and lid to find a proper fit. For the UN rating to apply, also match the UN rating of the pail to the lid. For example, match a pail with UN rating of UN1H2/Y12/S to the matching lid with the same UN rating (UN1H2/Y12/S).
What is a tear strip on this plastic pail lid and what does it do?
The tear strip on this pail lid offers a tamper-evident seal. Once the lid is attached to the pail, the lid cannot be removed until the tear strip is torn off. Although the tear strip cannot be reattached, the lid itself can be removed and replaced.
