Creating an airtight lid on a metal bucket is a big headache for users who have to use very expensive lids for special chemical content. Yes, most common metal buckets are used in chemical products such as gasoline, paint, adhesives, etc. Indeed, most of the products stored in metal tin buckets are in the liquid phase.
It brings users another question: would my products leak when metal buckets are transported? Is there any risk if my products touch the air that they might cause toxic leakage or decrease the quality of the chemical content inside?
Iron Hoop lid
However, this is no economic solution in the market for metal bucket lid systems. Most metal bucket buyers will use a lever lock, and an iron hoop to force the lid and bucket brim tight up together. A 5 gallon tin bucket with lever lock (iron hoop) Creating an airtight lid for metal buckets using the physical lever principle is easy. You don’t need to use much power, so anyone can do it.
Now you might think this is great for sealing to metal bucket with lid. You don’t need to buy an expensive and heavy special lid cover to protect my chemical items in metal buckets or drums.
Wait a minute. We can see that tamper-evident tear tab lids work well on plastic buckets. This includes buckets that hold 1 to 7 gallons and come in square, rectangular, or cylindrical shapes.
You can always find a better lid that is reusable.
What about a cost effective plastic lid seal system?
Plastic Hoop Lid
Do any metal buckets or metal drums have a simple design for the snap lid? Is the light weight and lower cost?
Innopack® has a new lid sealing system. It is a plastic seal lid attachment for tinplate metal buckets.
This is a special design, it perfectly combines the metal bucket lid and the plastic Hoop into a super-tight lid seal system. In the past, it was difficult for us to imagine how to combine plastic parts with metal pails, but we did it this time.
The Lid Seal System is easy to use and can be made quickly. It is affordable and works well for all metal drums. I will introduce its use method and features for you in detail.

Fast & Easy Install
The Innopack® lid system is made of 2 parts, The upper part of the hook is a retractable plastic o ring. The attaches embed the top half hoop to the bottom half hoop.
This makes it easy to transport the metal cover and plastic protective cover together. You won’t need to search for two separate parts when you want to use it. So it is a nested plastic ring produced by an integrated injection molding machine.
The lower part is made up of 24 plastic petals ( similar function as a steel pail lug lid ) that firmly hold the 20L metal bucket lid. When the nested lid is fitted to the metal bucket brim, only a gradual phase push-down is required along the upper half of the circle. You can break the original upper and lower parts so that the upper part is embed into the lower part.
Designed for Airtight
The innopack® lid system (Plastic Lid Hoop) offers double protection. It uses nesting technology to keep the lid and bucket securely attached. This ensures a tight and stable closure.
It creates a sealed environment for safely storing liquids. This also ensures that shipments are leakproof when transported by truck.
With 27 years of experience in injection molding, we provide OEM and ODM services. Customers need custom plastic parts made with high-precision molds. Ensures that each lid fits perfectly.
Reusable
When the buyers place their product into the metal bucket, the innopack® Plastic Hoop (lid-system) starts its reusable role. This system has a fold-able, retractable and double-layer nesting design. When we press the entire plastic kit down against the bucket’s wall, it creates a Reusable sealing system.
When you open it, the plastic o ring (upper part) cannot be pull apart. This means our products provide an sustainable using and cost-effective way to secure the metal drum, barrel, bucket, and pails. They help protect your product in the 20L metal bucket, ensuring safety and recycled.
Easy To Pull Ring
Try the principle as simple as opening a can, and you can easily open this special lid system without tools. This is the unique design of our pulled rings.
It is made of PP material which is super tough and resistant to corrosion. Therefore, even if it is exposed to the air or outdoors, the whole pull ring will not become brittle and break. The seamless pulled ring is integrated with the whole lid through the injection molding machine’s production.
Suitable for stacking
‘Stacking’ is a storage method for warehouses. It has become a customer demand that all container packaging must address. As Innopack’s product design team, we need to take stackable
solutions into account in every design. And so is the plastic lid protector this time.
We created curved pull rings along with the easy-to-pull ring design. This allows the upper barrel body to stack perfectly on the lid. Even the upward protruding edge design also plays a fixed anti-slip role.
Rust Proof
The lid system (Plastic Hoop) is made of Polypropylene(PP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is a stable chemical polymer compound that provides waterproof and corrosion resistance. The hoop-designed lid sealer will protect the lid edge and bucket brim to avoid rust corrosion. Indeed, the air-tight design can perfectly stop the air-exchange from the outside bucket.
Recyclable
As an environmentally friendly product, Innopack’s plastic hoop for lid seals are 100% recyclable. This has played a positive role in global sustainable development.
All used Hoops can be recycled. They can be crushed into small pieces. These pieces can be re-processed through the injection molding machine. This process can create new Hoops or other
plastic containers.
