UN-Compliant Shipping Pails with Twist-Lock Lids


Bail Handle	Bail Handle and Easy-Access Spout

Molded Handles

These pails have a twist-lock lid that opens and closes without tools and provides a more secure seal than a snap-lock lid. They are tested to comply with United Nations regulations for packaging and shipping hazardous material over land, sea, or air. These regulations aim to prevent hazardous spills caused by accidents or rough package handling.

Note: It is the responsibility of the shipper to follow regulatory guidelines for properly packaging and labeling all hazardous materials, and ensure the appropriate method for shipping.

For Shipping Hazardous Liquids—Open pails for hazardous liquids by pulling back the lid handle and using it to twist open the lid.

For Shipping Hazardous Solids—Open pails for hazardous solids by squeezing the release and turning the lid.

Neoprene Seal—Neoprene seals provide an extra-tight closure in the lid.

Bail Handle—Bail handles are flexible and comfortable to hold. You only need one hand to grab them.

Molded Handle—Molded handles are stronger than bail handles, so they’re less likely to break. You need two hands to grab them.

Drip-Free Pouring Lip—Pails with a drip-free pouring lip have a solid rim for a clean, controlled pour.

Easy-Access Spout—Pails with an easy-access spout let you pour without opening the lid.
