Plastic Bucket Group in its category 3 was found.

Wholesale Plastic Bucket Types: 9 Kg and 18 Kg Plastic Buckets

A plastic bucket is a wide-mouth packaging solution used for filling, transporting and storing liquid or solid products. When selecting a bucket, it is not sufficient to consider only appearance or capacity. The weight and density of the product to be filled, lid structure, handling method and shipping conditions should be evaluated together.

At Serdar Plastik, we manufacture wholesale plastic buckets for different applications. Our current plastic bucket range includes a 9 Kg Plastic Bucket and two 18 Kg Plastic Bucket models offered under different product codes.

Plastic buckets can be used for both liquid and solid products. However, the same bucket should not automatically be considered suitable for every product. The composition, density, filling temperature and storage duration of the product to be filled should be taken into account when selecting packaging.

Sample filling before mass production is useful. This makes it possible to check whether the bucket retains its shape when full, whether the lid closes properly and whether any problems occur during transportation.

Plastic Bucket Types

Plastic bucket types may vary according to capacity, body dimensions, raw material and application. Serdar Plastik’s current plastic bucket product range includes 9 kg and 18 kg capacity options.

When selecting wholesale plastic buckets, it is not sufficient to consider only the kilogram capacity. Products in the same capacity group may differ in product code, dimensions or project requirements.

The width, height and depth of the bucket are especially important for automatic filling, lid closing, labelling and palletisation processes. The dimensions of a new bucket intended for use on an existing production line should be checked in advance for compatibility with the machinery.

If the buckets will be stacked or transported on pallets after filling, body strength and pallet arrangement should also be taken into consideration.

9 Kg Plastic Bucket

The 9 Kg Plastic Bucket is a PP plastic packaging model that can be considered for filling medium-volume liquid and solid products.

Serdar Plastik’s 9 Kg Plastic Bucket has product code 1 400 011. The product measures 223 mm in width, 235 mm in height and 233 mm in depth.

The 9 kg capacity allows a larger quantity of product to be carried than smaller packaging while offering an option that may be easier to handle than an 18 kg bucket.

The actual number of kilograms that can be filled into the bucket with a specific product should be evaluated according to the density of the product. Liquids, powders and high-viscosity products may have different weights at the same volume.

During filling, the bucket opening should be suitable for the operating area of the filling equipment. If mass production is planned, it is useful to test a sample bucket on the existing filling and lid-closing line.

The published label area dimensions for the 9 Kg Plastic Bucket are 236 mm label width and 775 mm label length. When preparing the label design, the existing print should be checked for compatibility with this area.

18 Kg Plastic Bucket Models

The 18 Kg Plastic Bucket is a large-capacity PP bucket model used for filling, transporting and storing a high quantity of product in a single package.

Serdar Plastik’s current plastic bucket category includes two separate 18 Kg Plastic Bucket products. They are listed under product codes 1 400 127 and 1 400 12.

The published dimensions for both products are 282 mm in width, 283 mm in height and 280 mm in depth. The production material is specified as PP.

Because the two 18 kg products are listed under the same product name and with the same published basic dimensions, it is important to specify the product code when ordering. Any project- or production-related differences between the two products should preferably be confirmed with the sales team using the product code.

When an 18 kg bucket is full, the total weight can become significant. Therefore, the handling method, warehouse arrangement and pallet configuration should be planned in advance.

If the products need to be stacked, the pressure that filled buckets place on one another should also be taken into account. Especially during long-term storage, the bodies of the buckets at the bottom should not deform.

The published label area for the 18 Kg Plastic Bucket is 968 mm in width and 279 mm in height. The large surface area may allow more extensive use of product information and brand design on the bucket.

Differences Between 9 Kg and 18 Kg Plastic Buckets

The main differences between 9 kg and 18 kg plastic buckets are capacity and body dimensions. The appropriate bucket should be selected according to the amount of product to be filled, method of use and shipping arrangement.

The 9 Kg Plastic Bucket measures 223 × 235 × 233 mm. The 18 Kg Plastic Bucket models are listed with dimensions of 282 × 283 × 280 mm.

The smaller 9 kg model can be considered for products where the individual package needs to be easier to carry. The 18 kg model can be used for projects requiring a larger quantity of product in a single package.

As packaging size increases, not only does the quantity of product inside increase, but the filled weight, pallet footprint and load on the bucket body during transportation also change.

For this reason, when choosing between 9 kg and 18 kg, production and logistics conditions should be considered in addition to the sales format.

Difference Between Kg and Litres in Plastic Buckets

When selecting a plastic bucket, kilogram and litre measurements should not be confused. Kilograms measure weight, while litres measure volume.

The kilogram values in the names 9 Kg Plastic Bucket and 18 Kg Plastic Bucket are used as commercial capacity descriptions. The actual weight of the filled product may vary according to its density.

For example, two different products filled into buckets with the same volume may not reach the same kilogram value. A dense product and a lighter product will have different weights at the same volume.

For this reason, when ordering buckets, it is useful to specify the product to be filled in addition to stating “9 kg” or “18 kg”.

If filling is planned for a new product, the actual product can be filled into a sample bucket to verify the exact fill quantity.

What Is a PP Plastic Bucket?

A PP plastic bucket is plastic packaging manufactured from polypropylene raw material. Serdar Plastik’s current 9 kg and 18 kg plastic bucket products are specified as being produced from PP.

PP is one of the raw materials used in buckets and various plastic packaging components manufactured by injection moulding.

The material structure can affect body rigidity, surface appearance and production characteristics. However, the term “PP bucket” alone should not be used to conclude that the packaging is suitable for every product.

The composition, temperature and storage duration of the product to be filled can affect packaging behaviour. Especially for specially formulated products, sample filling provides a safer basis for selection.

During sample testing, the bucket body, base and lid connection can be checked at regular intervals.

Which Products Can Plastic Buckets Be Used For?

Plastic buckets are wide-mouth packaging solutions that can be used for both liquid and solid products. Their application depends on the characteristics of the product to be filled and its compatibility with the packaging.

Subject to compatibility evaluation, plastic buckets can be used in different industries. Bucket-type packaging can be preferred for high-viscosity products, powders, granules and various liquids.

However, the fact that a bucket appears physically suitable for a product is not sufficient on its own. Compatibility between the product and packaging should be checked before mass production.

Especially for chemically formulated products or products that will come into contact with food, the suitability of the packaging for the relevant product and usage conditions should be evaluated separately.

What Should Be Considered When Selecting a Plastic Bucket?

When selecting a plastic bucket, the entire process from filling to shipping should be considered in addition to capacity.

The following points can be evaluated when selecting the correct bucket:

  • Characteristics of the product to be filled
  • Product density and target fill weight
  • Whether the bucket should have a 9 kg or 18 kg capacity
  • Width, height and depth of the bucket
  • Lid structure and leak-tightness requirements
  • Label or printing area
  • Filling line dimensions
  • Palletisation method
  • Storage duration
  • Shipping distance
  • Order quantity

When this information is determined in advance, the selection can be based not only on bucket price but also on suitability for the entire production process.

Plastic Bucket Lid Selection and Leak-Tightness

For plastic buckets, the lid is one of the components that directly affects packaging performance. Even if the bucket body is suitable, a lid that does not close properly may cause problems during filling and shipping.

The lid and bucket opening must be compatible with each other. If the lid does not fit properly, it may open during transportation or cause leakage with liquid products.

If mass production is planned, the bucket and lid should be tested together. After the lid is closed, actual usage conditions such as handling, lateral movement and warehouse storage can be taken into account.

Leak-tightness is particularly important for liquid products. For solid or powder products, preventing the lid from opening during transportation and protecting the product from the external environment become more important.

If an automatic lid-closing system will be used, the machine settings should also be tested together with the bucket.

Use of Labels on Plastic Buckets

The label area of a plastic bucket is important for properly applying product information and brand design.

The published label area for the 9 Kg Plastic Bucket is 236 × 775 mm. For the 18 Kg Plastic Bucket models, the specified label area is 968 × 279 mm.

When designing the label, the product name, instructions for use, barcode and other required information should fit within the available area.

If an existing label design will be used, the label dimensions should be compared with the usable bucket surface before switching to the new bucket.

If the label is too large, it may extend onto the curved area of the bucket and lift at the edges. A label that is too small may not make sufficient use of the available surface area.

Plastic Bucket Production With and Without IML

IML is a decoration method in which the label is applied to the packaging surface during the injection moulding process. This method differs from conventional labels that are applied after production.

Serdar Plastik’s general injection packaging production infrastructure includes bucket, lid and measuring scoop production with and without IML.

For a project where IML is being considered, the design, printing structure, order quantity and product model to be manufactured should be evaluated together.

It should not be assumed that every standard bucket project is automatically suitable for IML production. Whether an IML option is available for the requested model should be confirmed at the quotation stage.

When choosing between conventional labels and IML, brand design, production quantity and shelf appearance can be taken into consideration.

Wholesale Plastic Bucket Prices

Wholesale plastic bucket prices may vary depending on bucket capacity, raw material, product model, order quantity, colour and decoration requirements.

Evaluating only “how much does a plastic bucket cost?” may not provide a meaningful price comparison. A 9 kg plastic bucket and an 18 kg plastic bucket do not use the same amount of raw material and do not have the same shipping capacity or production conditions.

The main factors that may affect plastic bucket prices include:

  • Bucket capacity
  • Selection of 9 kg or 18 kg model
  • Product code
  • Raw material used
  • Bucket colour
  • Lid option
  • Label or decoration requirement
  • IML requirement
  • Order quantity
  • Palletisation method
  • Delivery location

For 9 kg plastic bucket prices, a quotation can be requested based on product code 1 400 011.

For 18 kg plastic bucket prices, it is important to specify the product code. The current product range includes two separate 18 Kg Plastic Buckets under product codes 1 400 127 and 1 400 12.

For an accurate quotation, the product code, required quantity, bucket colour, lid requirement, label or IML request and delivery address can be provided together.

Product List and Capacity Table

The table below includes the 9 kg and 18 kg bucket models in Serdar Plastik’s current Plastic Bucket Group.

Product Name Product Code Capacity Production Dimensions Label Area Pallet 20′ DC 40′ HC Truck

The published basic dimensions, material and shipping information are the same for the two separate 18 Kg Plastic Bucket products, but their product codes are different. It is recommended to confirm the model to be used by product code before ordering.

The shipping quantities in the table are the values published on the product pages. The actual shipping plan may be evaluated separately according to the order, pallet configuration and logistics conditions.

9 Kg Plastic Bucket Shipping Capacity

For wholesale plastic bucket orders, the number of packages that can be loaded on a pallet or vehicle is just as important as the unit price.

The published shipping information for the 9 Kg Plastic Bucket is as follows:

  • Pallet: 1,116 units
  • 20′ DC container: 10,044 units
  • 40′ HC container: 24,552 units
  • Truck: 23,436 units

For high-volume orders, these values can be used in warehouse and logistics planning.

If lids or other auxiliary components are added to the same shipment, the actual vehicle capacity may change. Therefore, the final shipping plan should be prepared according to the order contents.

18 Kg Plastic Bucket Shipping Capacity

Because the 18 Kg Plastic Bucket has a larger body than the 9 kg model, the number of empty buckets that can be transported in the same vehicle or on the same pallet is different.

The published shipping information for the 18 Kg Plastic Bucket models is as follows:

  • Pallet: 440 units
  • 20′ DC container: 3,960 units
  • 40′ HC container: 7,920 units
  • Truck: 9,460 units

For wholesale purchases, evaluating the quantity of packaging per shipment in addition to the unit bucket price can help calculate total logistics costs more accurately.

Filling Control for Plastic Buckets

Reliable performance of the plastic bucket on the filling line is important for production continuity.

The bucket height and opening should be compatible with the filling equipment. If the filling nozzle is not suitable for the bucket opening, the product may spill onto the outside surface of the bucket.

After filling, the bucket base and side surfaces should be checked. Excessive flexing or deformation should not occur in the body due to the weight of the product.

For products filled at high temperatures or under different conditions, it is useful to carry out sample testing that represents actual production conditions.

The lid-closing process can also be evaluated during the same sample test.

Plastic Bucket Control from Filling to Shipment

The purpose of a plastic bucket is not limited to simply containing the product. The bucket should remain usable throughout filling, lid closing, labelling, storage, palletisation and shipping.

After filling, the bucket base should remain stable, and the body should not deform excessively under the weight of the product it contains.

If buckets will be stacked on pallets, the weight applied to the products underneath should be taken into account.

During long-term storage, buckets in the bottom row of the pallet are exposed to greater loads. For this reason, not only a short-term filling test but also a storage test representing actual usage conditions may be useful.

During shipping, pallets should not move inside the vehicle and buckets should not place excessive pressure on one another.

Serdar Plastik’s Experience in Plastic Bucket Production

Serdar Plastik has been manufacturing in the plastic packaging industry since 1985. The company has four production facilities located in Tuzla, Dilovası, Susurluk and Hatay.

In addition to blow-moulded packaging, the company’s production infrastructure includes buckets, lids and measuring scoops produced by injection moulding.

The injection packaging range includes production options with and without IML. This production structure makes it possible to evaluate different project requirements in addition to standard packaging.

According to Serdar Plastik’s current corporate data, the company has more than 300 specialist employees, exports to more than 15 countries and has an annual production capacity of 17,500 tonnes.

For a new plastic bucket project, capacity, body dimensions, product to be filled, colour, lid structure, label or IML requirement and estimated order quantity can be evaluated together.

Sustainable Plastic Bucket Production

Efficient management of raw material and energy use is important in plastic bucket production. However, reducing packaging weight should not compromise performance during use and transportation.

A bucket that is unnecessarily heavy may consume more raw material. A body that is too lightweight may struggle to retain its shape during filling or shipping.

For this reason, packaging body weight should be evaluated together with the product to be filled, target capacity and transportation conditions.

Serdar Plastik also carries out work on recycled raw materials and energy efficiency in its production processes.

For projects using recycled material, the application of the product and the expected packaging performance should be evaluated separately.

Custom Plastic Bucket Production

A standard 9 kg or 18 kg plastic bucket may not meet the requirements of every project. Projects requiring a different capacity, colour, decoration or packaging design can be evaluated separately.

For a new plastic bucket project, it is useful to prepare the following information in advance:

  • Type of product to be filled
  • Target fill weight
  • Required packaging dimensions
  • Bucket and lid colour
  • Lid requirement
  • Label or IML preference
  • Filling line information
  • Palletisation conditions
  • Delivery location
  • Estimated annual order quantity

Once this information is available, a suitable model can be selected from the existing 9 kg and 18 kg products or a different project requirement can be evaluated separately.
