All packs in our industrial range are fully recyclable, manufactured in ISO-certified facilities and backed by international accreditations, so you can ship with confidence and meet tightening EPR regulations.
Built-In Safety & Compliance
Every Polyoak industrial pack is engineered for maximum product protection. Our UN-certified jerry cans and 30 L – 250 L tight-head and open-top drums keep you fully compliant with TDG and ADR regulations, while our child-resistant, tamper-evident closures safeguard dangerous contents and prevent accidental spillages.
The patented OctoGrip™ eight-point lid-locking system on our 20 L paint pails prevents leaks even on rough hauls.
