Plastic buckets are practical too; they are light, hygienic and shatterproof, making them a safe and cost-effective way to store and transport honey goods in bulk.

Yes, we have supplied buckets to the food industry since 1974, which means we understand the importance of quality, regulatory-compliant packaging. All of our food-grade buckets are BPA-free and suitable for industrial use. Migration certificates are available on request.

The largest plastic honey pail we currently offer is 32 litres. However, the largest size that is commonly used for honey is our 25 litre/ 60lb honey pail bucket.

Do food-grade plastics contain BPA?

BPA has now been banned in the EU, and the UK looks likely to follow suit. It is still important to check the manufacturer's specification with your supplier.

Are all plastic buckets food grade?

No, not all plastic buckets are food grade. Buckets made using recycled plastic are not food grade due to the nature of recycled plastic, and some buckets may contain BPA, which means they are less suitable for food use. All of Invopak's standard buckets are food safe and BPA free. Please get in touch for more information or if you need migration certificates.
