Public Big Outdoor Cheap Plastic Bucket Recycle Trash Garbage Bin with Wheels BP018908

We offer plastic buckets in a wide range of sizes — from small 1-liter household buckets, to larger options like 20-liter buckets (approx. 40-45 cm high and 30-35 cm top diameter), and even up to 120 liters, often used as large trash bins or for industrial storage. You’ll find detailed volumes and dimensions on each product page, and we also provide custom sizes/colors/shapes… to suit your specific needs.

Absolutely. We offer a wide range of customization options to help you tailor plastic buckets for branding, gifts, or commercial resale.

Simple customizations (faster and lower minimum order quantities):

• Custom Logo Printing: Perfect for companies adding logos for internal use, corporate gifts, or promotional giveaways.

• Custom Color: Choose bucket colors that match your brand identity.

• Custom Graphics, Patterns, or Textures: Print unique designs onto the bucket surface without changing its shape.

*Real Case: Home Depot private-label buckets saved 23% using our stock molds with custom color matching.

Advanced customizations (require new molds and higher MOQs):

• Custom Shape or Structure: Completely new bucket designs (e.g. unique contours, handles, lids) tailored to your brand or product functionality.

• Custom Capacity: Special volumes or dimensions not available in our standard product range.

• Custom Packaging or Accessories: Unique packaging, labels, seals, or additional parts like spouts, taps, or specialized lids.

Differ from those simple customizations, these high-end customization services usually require mold design and tool manufacturing. Therefore, they are more suitable for customers who plan to produce bottled products under their own brand and have specific product requirements.

Whether you need to create simple logo prints for gifts or customize complete bottled products for your product line, we can assist you. The minimum order quantity and production cycle are likely to vary depending on the project details provided by you or designed upon your request.

• Intended use (retail/industrial/gift)

• Required certifications (FDA/UL/REACH)

• Target FOB price point

• Polypropylene (PP) buckets: They hold up well against acids, alkalis, and salts, making them reliable for water-based paints, detergents, or mild cleaning solutions. However, they’re not a match for strong oxidizers like concentrated nitric acid or hydrogen peroxide, nor highly aggressive solvents such as acetone – these can degrade the material over time, causing leaks or contamination.
• High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) buckets: This material offers more robust chemical resistance, making it a go-to for industrial-grade chemicals, oil-based paints, and solvents. It handles products like thinners, rust-preventive coatings, and machine oils effectively. Note, though, that prolonged exposure to temperatures above 60°C (140°F) can cause warping, so avoid storing hot materials long-term.
• Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) buckets: Their key advantage is transparency, which is useful for monitoring contents like water-based latex paints or dilute dyes. But they’re vulnerable to strong solvents – substances like mineral spirits or turpentine can soften the plastic, leading to cracks or structural failure.
• Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) buckets: Flexible and durable for gentle substances, they work for household weak-acid cleaners or diluted fertilizers. However, they’re unsuitable for industrial-strength acids, alkalis, or flammable solvents like gasoline – these will quickly compromise the material.

• The chemical’s nature: Is it acidic (e.g., hydrochloric acid), alkaline (e.g., sodium hydroxide), or neutral? Extreme pH levels demand stricter material checks.
• Storage temperature: Avoid leaving buckets in direct sunlight (which can spike temperatures) or freezing conditions, as both can weaken seals.
• Storage duration: Short-term use (weeks) is less demanding than long-term storage (6+ months), which requires materials with better aging resistance.
• Regulatory needs: Hazardous chemicals may require UN-certified containers, while food-contact chemicals need food-grade certifications.

We primarily manufacture buckets using polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) – chosen for their optimal balance of safety, durability, and value. Below are key features for general users, with technical details available for procurement teams.

For General Users

PP Buckets

• Key Features:

  • Shatter-resistant and heat-tolerant (-20°C to 120°C)

  • Food-grade safe for water storage/foot baths

  • Easy to clean with soap and water

• Best For: Home storage bins, trash cans, foot soaking tubs

PET Buckets

• Key Features:

  • Crystal-clear visibility of contents

  • 20% lighter than standard buckets

  • Resists yellowing in sunlight

• Best For: Decorative storage, display containers, liquid monitoring

Other Options:

• HDPE (for strong chemicals)

• rPET (30-50% recycled materials)

• LDPE (extreme cold flexibility)

• If the above does not contain the materials you are looking for, you can check our materials (for injection molding) selection page for more materials, or you can choose to supply your own resin.

For Procurement Specialists

• Private-label certifications

Yes! We offer food-grade buckets compliant with relevant regulations (e.g. FDA, EU standards). If you plan to store food, beverages, or edible products, please let us know so we can ensure you receive buckets with the proper certifications and materials.

• Standard, off-the-shelf buckets: Usually 1–2 weeks. Since they’re already in production or stock, it’s mostly about packaging and shipping once the order is confirmed.
• Custom orders without new molds (e.g., adding logos, changing colors using existing molds): Around 2–3 weeks. This accounts for adjusting production setups for your specific tweaks, plus manufacturing and shipping.
• Custom orders needing new molds (unique sizes, shapes): Typically 4–8 weeks. The mold itself takes 2–4 weeks to make, and then we need time for production, testing, and delivery.
