Fiber Drums

Fiber drums, also known as cardboard barrels, cardboard drums, and fiberboard drums, are versatile containers designed for safe storage and transport. At The Cary Company, we carry a wide range of sizes from 6 gallons to 75 gallons, with either steel, fiber, or plastic covers secured by lever lock rings. Some of our fiber drums are UN rated for regulated materials, and we also offer specialty versions such as liquid-pack fiber drums for semi-liquid and liquid applications.

Standard fiber drums are not naturally waterproof, as they are primarily designed for dry goods and solid materials. However, The Cary Company offers liquid-pack fiberboard drums, specifically engineered for liquid and semi-liquid applications. These provide moisture resistance and leak protection while maintaining the lightweight, cost-effective benefits of cardboard barrels.

Yes, fiber drums are recyclable, making them a smart choice for companies focused on sustainability. Many customers prefer fiber drums because they combine durability with eco‑friendly benefits. At The Cary Company, we also offer reconditioned fiberboard drums, providing a cost‑effective option that supports reuse and reduces waste. With our fiber drums, you can choose packaging that’s both reliable and environmentally responsible.
