What Size Pails/Buckets Are Available?
M&M Industries offers plastic pails/buckets in a wide range of sizes, from 0.6 gallons up to 12 gallons, with round, square, HDPE, polypropylene, and multiple closure styles available for a variety of packaging applications.
Our pails are manufactured using HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) and Polypropylene (PP) resin, depending on the product. Available options include round and square pails, screw-top containers, snap-on closures, hinged lids, tamper-evident designs, UN-certified configurations, and more.
M&M Industries specializes in plastic pails and containers. We do NOT manufacture steel pails or 55-gallon drums.
Because not every pail style is available in every capacity, the best size depends on the product family and packaging features your application requires.
