Honey Buckets and Wholesale Beekeeping Containers
Invopak supplies food-grade honey buckets and wholesale beekeeping containers for apiaries, honey producers, farm shops and commercial honey distributors across the UK.
Invopak’s honey buckets and plastic containers are food grade and BPA-free. They also have tamper-evident tabs for safe shipping and storage. Our heavy-duty honey buckets have a double-lock rim that is reinforced for strength.
Our popular 30lb honey buckets are widely considered the industry standard. These 30lb/10 litre buckets are available with either a reinforced plastic or metal handle, making them ideal for carrying heavy loads of honey. We also offer “half-size” 5.6 litre/ 15lb honey buckets, which are suitable for small-batch honey or extra harvest run-off.
Invopak’s “double-size” honey bucket can hold 60lb of honey. These 60lb/ 25 litre honey buckets are ideal for bulk honey storage and wholesale distribution. We also offer a slightly smaller 55lb/ 21 litre honey bucket, which is a good size for a settling tank. Due to their weight when full, these larger buckets may require mechanical assistance, making them most suited for industrial use.
Small plastic buckets and tubs are the perfect retail-ready solution for comb honey, small-batch processing, artisanal honey sales and catering use. They offer a considerable cost-saving over glass, are lighter and shatterproof too, making them a more practical and safer choice for shipping.
We offer printed tubs and buckets for apiaries and honey wholesalers, with low MOQs. Printed plastic containers are professional and practical, and a great way to promote your honey. Please contact the team to find out more.
Invopak's beekeeping range also includes food-grade IBCs, jerry cans and plastic jars. These are ideal for bee feeds, ambrosia syrups, nutritional supplements, proteins, powders and hive cleaning products.

What size honey bucket is best for commercial beekeeping?
Our 10 litre/30lb honey bucket is the most common size used in commercial beekeeping, with our extra large 21litre/ 60lb honey bucket being a good option for storing or transporting honey in bulk.
What containers are best for wholesale honey storage?
Plastic buckets are ideal for wholesale honey storage. They are durable, food-grade, tamper-evident, and offer a high degree of protection against air and moisture damage. 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.
Are your honey buckets suitable for commercial food production?
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.
Do you offer tamper-evident packaging for honey sales?
Yes, we offer a wide range of tamper-evident plastic containers that are suitable for retail use. Our plastic tubs and buckets are ideal for retail; they feature a tamper evident band that must be broken before opening, ensuring your honey remains safe until bought by a customer.

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.

Food grade buckets typically have a cup and fork symbol, all of Invopak's standard buckets are food grade and BPA-free.

What colours of plastic honey buckets can you buy?
Many of our buckets are available in white, black and clear options, whilst grey is the standard across our recycled range. All other colours are available on an order-to-order basis. Please get in touch with the team if you require something special.
