UN-Compliant Shipping Pails with Twist-Lock Lids

Easy-Access Spout

With Bail Handle

With 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.

Pails with a drip-free pouring lip have a solid rim for a clean, controlled pour.

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

Open pails for hazardous solids by squeezing the release and turning the lid. Open pails for hazardous liquids by pulling back the lid handle and using it to twist open the lid.
