Packaging for Paints and Coatings
Closures, cap seals, pail tools and drums for paint, resin and coatings packers, where viscous product and repeated opening are the norm.
What Makes This Sector Difficult to Pack
- Viscous product will not discharge through a tight head bung at any useful rate
- Pail lids closed unevenly weep and the pail cannot be reused
- Packs opened and reclosed repeatedly need tamper evidence that survives handling
What We Bring to It
- Open head drums from 30L to 200L that give full access to viscous contents
- Steel pail lid closing tools and cap seal crimping tools for consistent sealing
- Pull out spout closures in 42mm and 57mm for metal cans of paint and coating

Which drum suits viscous product?
An open head drum, because the head comes off completely. For bulk, the DN80 IBC butterfly valve is specified for thick liquids.
How do we get a consistent seal on pail lids?
Use the 300mm steel pail lid closing tool, which applies even pressure around the lid rim.
Do you supply printed cap seals?
Yes. Metal drum cap seals in 2 inch and 3/4 inch can be supplied in custom colours or printed with your logo.
