Industrial Plastic Jugs

Opt for the 64 oz or 1 gallon natural HDPE F-Style jugs if packaging products like liquid laundry detergent, drain cleaner or wiper fluid. High density polyethylene or HDPE, is harder and stronger than LDPE and PE. HDPE has excellent moisture barrier properties as well as good resistance to chemicals. These HDPE f-style jugs are also offered in black in 16 oz and 32 oz sizes, and would make for great packaging for products like motor oil.SKS also stocks 64 oz and 1 gallon natural and white round HDPE jugs. These jugs could be ideal for packaging natural cleaning products and could also be used to package products like drain cleaner, wiper fluid or motor oil. Both jugs are offered with child resistant caps, induction lined caps or PE lined caps.

Metal Industrial Containers

SKS' collection of round and oblong tins are well suited for packaging products like paint, stain, primer, polish or wax. The round paint cans are offered in sizes ranging from 1/4 pint to 1 gallon and each comes with a fitted metal lid. Package samples in the 1/4 pint size paint can, and for the customers looking to complete larger projects, securely package paints or stains in the 1/2 gallon or gallon sized round paint tins. Offer paints and finishes in every size for a complete and polished looking product line.SKS' metal oblongs are offered in sizes ranging from 1/2 pint to 1 gallon, and come with seals and metal screw caps. The 1 gallon size has a metal handle affixed to the top to make for easy carrying. These round and oblong tins make for great use in the industrial industry.

Buckets and Pails

Products like a 5 gallon bucket or pail and gloves are essential when dealing with chemicals, and necessary in areas like janitorial work. SKS stocks 3.5, 5 and 6 gallon white HDPE pails with handles, each offered with or without spouts. To insure the product has not been tampered with each lid features tear tabs. Simply tear the tab off around the rim of the cap before opening.

Rubber Gloves

SKS also stocks latex and nitrile gloves in several colors and sizes. Choose from clear, white, gold, black or purple in sizes ranging from extra-small to extra-large. These gloves are perfect for use in medicine, laboratory work, classrooms and much more.

Adhesive Bottles

For packaging products like adhesives, SKS stocks natural LDPE straight sided oval bottles in 2, 4 and 8 oz sizes with spout caps and twist top caps. This low density polyethylene or LDPE offers a good resistance to chemicals and because it's not as quite as hard and stiff as HDPE it's easier to squeeze, making it ideal for packaging products like glue.
