Comparison With Other Products

This is the standard tight head 200 litre drum at 585 x 910mm. The closed top version in this range is slightly taller at 936mm and blow moulded in two layers. For contents that have to be scraped or ladled out, the 200 litre open head drum is the correct pack instead.

Customisation

Sizes, colours and materials can be adapted where the product allows it, and branding can be applied to closures and cap seals. Confirm the change you need when you send the enquiry.
