The case for fiber drums

Fiber drums are a common packaging solution, but what are the benefits of using fiber drums?

The benefits of using fiber drums are numerous. Firstly, fiber drums are incredibly durable and strong, allowing them to protect the contents from damage during shipping and storage. They are also moisture and water-resistant, making them ideal for certain food packaging solutions.

Additionally, fiber drums are often made from recovered materials, which makes them an eco-friendly option. They also can be cost-effective and lightweight, making them easy to transport and handle. Finally, fiber drums are versatile and can be customized to fit the needs of any product.

Lok-Rim fibre drum technology

With Lok-Rim Fibre drums, companies can find the perfect solution for their product packaging needs.

Despite being lightweight, fiber drums are remarkably strong. The Lok-Rim design with metal chimes offers high stack strength and easy handling.

The laminated structure of fiber drum sidewalls create a rigid shell that has a high thermal stability and is not prone to denting and transporter handling.

The metal chimes crimped to the sidewalls to the bottom securely added to the vertical strength of the packaging.

A lock band or closing ring secures the cover to the top chime and can also be fitted with anti-tampering seals for further product protection.

fibre drums can be customized to suit a wide range of applications, from the most basic level of product containment to demanding applications where both internal and external protection is needed.
