16.5 gallon fiber drum, UN rated cardboard drum, open head fiber drum, and fiber drum with lid are the main keywords for this product page. This round all-fiber cardboard drum gives you a strong, simple way to pack, store, and ship solid materials without using a steel or plastic drum.

This 16.5 gallon round fiber drum works well for dry solids, powders, parts, compounds, and other compatible materials. The open head design gives you easy access from the top, so you can load and remove contents without fighting a small opening. The fiber lid helps cover and protect the product during handling.

The drum has a flat top and bottom, which helps with neat stacking and better space use. This matters when you’re storing drums in a warehouse or trying to reduce freight costs. A clean round shape also makes the drum easy to handle, label, and move in many work areas. The all-fiber construction is a good choice when you want a lighter drum for solid materials. It incinerates completely, which may help in disposal programs where fiber packaging is preferred. The drum weighs less than many metal containers, making it easier to move before and after filling.

This fiber drum is UN rated for solids only. It has a listed UN rating of 1G/X75/S, with related solid ratings shown in the specifications. It’s made for solid products, not liquids. Do not use this drum for water, chemicals, oils, or any other liquid material.

Use this 16.5 gallon fiber drum when you need a dependable container for dry products that must stay organized and protected. It’s a practical choice for manufacturing, shipping rooms, chemical packing, food ingredient handling where compatible, and general industrial storage of solid items.

The telescoping two-piece design gives the drum a simple, useful closure. The lid fits over the top of the fiber body, helping cover the contents while still keeping the drum easy to open when needed. The flat bottom also helps the drum sit steady on shelves, pallets, or warehouse floors. This drum can help reduce wasted space because the shape is clean and stackable. When filled and closed properly, the flat top makes it easier to build uniform stacks. That can help lower storage clutter and may reduce freight space compared with less efficient containers.

Always match the drum to the material being packed. This drum is only for solids and should not be used for liquids. For hazardous solid products, confirm the UN rating, packing group, product weight, and shipping rules before use. Proper matching helps protect your product and avoid shipping problems.
