Plastic Buckets from Allpack

[Dr Jacoby]

I asked about bigger buckets and he said he can get 30l buckets but we would want to be buying alot of them for him to consider getting them in.

Hi James, do you reckon 20 x 30L buckets would be enough to entice them to order them in? We're nearly there and it would be great to get this off the ground.

Try these guys for bigger buckets. I got some 25l ones with lids from them before.

[christhebrewer]

Just checked......
http://www.thepackagingcentre.ie/products2.php?productid=36
There seem to be 30l ones allright.

[Dr Jacoby]

Just had a quick look. I wonder are they air tight? I'll give them a buzz in a while and get some more info.

[johnrm]

The Alppack website says they are liquid and air tight.
I note the picture has a 1 litre Homemade Jam, Jam needs to be airtight.
I assume the same with the Packaging Centre.

[DEMPSEY]

They have the tight fitting snap down lids

[Dr Jacoby]

It turns out that Alpack can't source 30L buckets, so I contacted The Packaging Centre and they sent the following response:

"Hi Peter,

I will do my best to give you the best price possible on the pale's mentioned below.

The main difference on the Tamper Bucket to the non-tamper bucket is just a small piece of plastic that has to be broke after you seal the pales in order to open the lids, Please see attached picture. Once this is broken the lids acts like any normal lid as per non tamper evident buckets.

Yes the buckets will stack inside once the lids are removed,

Here are the cost on the buckets.

30 litre Tamper Evident buckets € 8.00 + vat each
20 litre tamper evident buckets € 3.70 + vat each
5 litre Buckets Tamper evident € 2.20 + vat each
2.5 litre Pails tamper evident € 1.55 + vat each

Please let me know if you would like me to put a quote togeather for any amount required,

Thanks for the enquiry,

Best regards

If anyone else would like to get a few buckets based on the above prices could you post here asap. I'd like to send on a full list for a quote in the next day or so. Cheers

Why 30l are over twice a price of 20l ?

[Dr Jacoby]

I emailed him about that but he hasn't replied yet. It's still quite cheap I think but let's see what he says. 

[DEMPSEY]

At a guess,its production and sale size. When buying concrete blocks you can buy 1/2 size ones as well,but they are twice the price because of smaller production quantity's.

[Dr Jacoby]

Here's the response:

"The 30 litre pails are a more robust pails much sturdier and have more metal in the handle,

Also they do not come from the same manufacturer as the other pails do. This is also a factor of why the cost is higher,

We bring them in on their own as with the others we group 5's 10's 15's 20's etc. all in one load so cost is reduced.

Best regards

Glenn"
