When most people think of summer, they think of sunshine, vacations, and their favorite seasonal foods—juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, and cold, creamy ice cream. But behind every ripe tomato, golden ear of corn, and perfectly churned scoop of vanilla is a network of hardworking producers—and at the heart of their operations are Greif’s durable, reliable industrial packaging solutions.
Fueling the Fields: Small plastic containers or Jerrycans and Fertilizer for Bountiful Harvests
For farmers across the globe, summer marks the peak of growing season. To ensure their crops thrive, especially staples like corn, timely fertilization is critical. That’s where our Dolor 2.5-gallon jerry cans come into play. Engineered for safety, strength, and ease of use, these containers make transporting and applying liquid fertilizers simple and efficient.
Whether it’s a large-scale commercial operation or a smaller local farm, our jerrycan help growers get vital nutrients to their crops quickly supporting food security and sustaining communities during the hottest and most demanding months of the year.
From Vine to Bottle: Tomato Growers and the Ketchup Connection
Come July and August, tomato fields burst into color. These plump, red fruits are destined for everything from salsas and sauces to—yes—America’s favorite condiment: ketchup. Greif packaging plays a pivotal role in moving massive quantities of freshly harvested tomatoes to processors who turn them into the rich, tangy base we know and love.
Our food-grade conical steel drums feature a tapered side and ensure tomatoes retain their freshness from field to factory. They are great for transporting due to their efficient space saving design and ease of handling. This summer, when you’re dipping your fries or flipping burgers at the barbecue, you’ve got hardworking growers—and Greif’s reliable packaging—to thank.
Scoops of Summer: Delivering Ice Cream with Greif Fiber Drums
Summer and ice cream are a match made in heaven, and Greif fiber drums are a critical part of making sure that delicious partnership reaches you in perfect condition. Our 55-gallon Liquipak® drum was specifically designed for liquid & semi-liquid applications and are trusted by dairy producers and distributors alike to handle bulk ingredients like sugar, milk powder, cocoa, and flavorings—keeping contents safe, dry, and contamination-free.
The Liquipak drum’s leakproof design, and added resistance to wet, humid storage & transport conditions makes this an ideal choice. Whether it’s soft serve at your favorite roadside stand or artisanal gelato from a trendy parlor, there’s a good chance Greif had a hand in making that sweet treat possible.
