Fiber Drums
Cardboard barrels: applications, options, and best practices
Fiber drums aren't food safe by default. See what makes a fiber drum food grade, what the DOT rating does and doesn't cover, and what to check before buying used.
Used fiber drums are safe for most dry-goods reuse when the body is intact and dry. Here's what actually determines it, and when hazmat rules change the answer.
Fiber drums are recyclable, but the paperboard body has to be separated from metal rings and plastic liners first. Here's how it actually works.
Fiber drum sizes range from small liners to 75+ gallon drums. See standard US and EU diameters, heights, and capacities, plus the legal size maximum.
Fiber drum prices depend on size, wall construction, closure hardware, and UN/DOT rating. See what drives new and used fiber drum pricing.
How to stack, store, and handle fiber drums safely. DOT stacking limits, humidity control, palletizing, and hazmat rules explained.
Fiber drums (cardboard barrels) are multi-wall fiberboard containers designed for dry, solid, or semi-solid materials. They balance low tare weight with high strength, simplify material handling (wide open top), and are recyclable at end of life. Add liners or coatings when moisture protection or cleanliness is required.
