Shipping Barrels: Your Guide for Sending a 55 Gallon drum

Shipping barrels may not be the most common method of transportation, but they have remained an important part of shipping culture for decades. These barrels are often found full to the brim, which makes them a great choice for sending heavier goods. Often these shipping drums are full of dry goods and items of clothing.

Salvage Packaging vs. Overpacks: What’s the Difference?

Two terms are frequently used in the transportation of hazardous materials: salvage packaging (sometimes referred to as a salvage drum) and overpack. Though often used interchangeably, these two terms are distinctly different from each other with unique definitions and regulations for use within the Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR).

Drum Roll

Sustainability goals are driving a move toward industrial packaging reuse, which means recyclers may see fewer steel drums.

Follow any supply chain for any product—backward or forward—and you will find industrial containers in use. Around the globe millions of steel and plastic drums, rigid intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and flexible IBCs are being produced to safely store and transport the world’s goods. Although vital, manufacturing those containers requires the consumption of natural resources, including metal, resin and energy.

Drum

Drum, in packaging, cylindrical container commonly made of metal or fiberboard. Steel drums with capacities ranging up to 100 U.S. gallons (379 liters) have been produced since about 1903; the sizes less than 12 gallons (45 liters) are called pails. The most common drums are made of 18-gauge (0.048-inch, or 1.2-millimetre, thick) steel and contain 55 gallons (208 liters); they become the property of the buyer of the contents. Heavier drums or those made of more expensive metals (aluminum, Monel, stainless steel, or nickel) commonly remain the property of the vendor. Provided with a protective interior coating, in most cases a synthetic resin, steel drums or pails can be used for packaging most liquid and solid substances, and they have largely replaced wooden barrels and kegs.

Fiberboard drums have been produced since early in the 20th century. They are made with ends of steel or paperboard in sizes up to 75 gallons and are cheap and lightweight. They are commonly resin-coated or lined with loose plastic bags for packaging solid materials.
