Fiber Drums & Cardboard Drums

Fiber Drums & Cardboard Drums
Our cardboard shipping barrels provide durable packaging solutions for the chemical, pharmaceutical, paint, and food industries. These UN-standard fiber drums offer superior stack strength for solids and feature a low tare weight to reduce shipping costs. Options include standard paper drums and specialty containers like cheese drums, tapered barrels, and Harvest Packs for food purees. Each open-top unit includes a welded metal chime for stability and a secure lever lock ring or telescoping lid to protect contents. The fiber interior provides natural thermal insulation for sensitive products.

Industrial Cardboard and Fiber Shipping Drums The selection of cardboard shipping barrels and fiber drums is designed to meet the rigorous packaging requirements of the chemical, pharmaceutical, glue, paint, and food industries. These containers provide a versatile and cost-effective alternative to steel or plastic, offering a high strength-to-weight ratio that is ideal for the transport and storage of dry or solid materials.

Diverse Industry Applications These cardboard drums are engineered to handle a broad spectrum of industrial needs. In the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, they provide a stable environment for powders and granular substances. For the food industry, specialized configurations are available, including cheese drums, feed storage containers, and tapered barrels. The Harvest Pack is specifically designed for the high-volume transport of tomato paste, purees, and other viscous food products, ensuring product integrity remains intact from the processing plant to the end user.

Structural Integrity and UN Standards Safety and durability are central to the design of these fiber barrels. Every drum in this category meets UN Standards for the transport of regulated materials, ensuring compliance with international safety protocols. A key structural feature is the superior stack strength, which allows for efficient vertical storage in warehouses and shipping containers without the risk of collapsing.

To enhance stability, a welded metal chime is installed on both the top and bottom of the drum. This reinforcement protects the edges from impact damage during transit and provides a rigid frame that supports the overall weight of the contents. Despite this strength, fiber barrels maintain an unusually low tare weight, which reduces overall shipping costs compared to heavier packaging materials.

The Fiber Drums shown are a Cardboard type material with an Open Top Head.
  • The Entire Top of the Barrel is removable with a Lever Lock Ring or Telescoping Tapered Lids that fits Over the Base part of the Drum.
  • On the Open Top Lids these have an Easy-on, easy-off lever lock drum cover ring accepts tamper-evident seals.
  • A Welded Metal Chime is on both ends of the drum ensures stability for your product.
  • Fibre Barrels offer unusually low tare weight and considerable strength against impact.
  • The Cardboard fiber interior provides thermal insulation and protects sensitive products and the full open top assures quick filling and dispensing.
  • The Fiber Drums are available in a wide range of diameters, heights and capabilities and meet all applicable shipping requirements.


  • Functional Design and Accessibility The open-top head design is a primary feature of these fiber drums, facilitating rapid filling and dispensing of materials. Users can choose between two primary closure systems:

    Lever Lock Ring: This system features an easy-on, easy-off mechanism that secures the lid tightly to the base. The ring is designed to accept tamper-evident seals, providing a layer of security for sensitive shipments.

    Telescoping Tapered Lids: These lids fit over the base of the drum, offering a secure friction fit that is ideal for certain storage and stacking applications.

    The interior of the drum is composed of a cardboard fiber material that provides natural thermal insulation. This helps shield temperature-sensitive products from external fluctuations. Because the entire top is removable, these drums are particularly effective for applications requiring frequent access or the use of liners.

    Customization and Logistics The inventory includes a wide range of diameters, heights, and volume capacities. This variety ensures that businesses can find a drum that matches their specific density and volume requirements while adhering to shipping regulations. For logistical ease,

    Whether for the long-term storage of agricultural feed or the international transport of industrial adhesives, these fiber drums offer a sustainable, high-performance packaging solution.
