A plastic bucket, a 3.5-gallon plastic pail, or a 13 L plastic bucket, has become a packaging standard. It commonly stores paint, chemical solvents, concrete mixes, and car wash kits.
The packaging needs of the industry may seem overwhelming. However, this is due to its durability, recycle-ability, and cost-effectiveness. It is also food-safe, weather-resistant, and lightweight.
Its use goes beyond just industrial and food packaging. It has also revolutionized numerous other industries. Today, I will show you how a 3.5-gallon garden bucket can be used in many ways. It is a great packaging tool and can also be a useful product on its own.

Advantages
It’s hard to imagine that plastic buckets and gardens can be connected. Get rid of those heavy, fragile planters that don’t have handles. More gardeners are starting to use 3.5-gallon plastic buckets as their preferred planting containers. I have summarized the following reasons for competitive advantage:
- Durability
- Mobility
- Weather Resistance
- Budget Friendly
- Customized Decoration
- Multi-Functions
- No Weeding Bothering
Durability
The 3.5-gallon plastic drum is made of PP or HDPE and molded by an injection molding machine. A compound with exceptional chemical stability exists. Ordinary water, sunlight, and fertilizer can not corrode it, and the wall thickness of 90MIL can carry heavier soil.
Innopack® 3.5 plastic bucket provides a robust 90 mil thickness. It’s also convenient for gardeners to drill holes in the bottom of the bucket.
Mobility
The earth is rotating all the time, which means the sunlight changes angles all the time .you can move the plastic garden bucket into the sun as needed. In addition, you can rearrange the plant anywhere you want to change. One of the most important reasons why gardeners use buckets to contain the plants is “Portable” ”
A light plastic bucket can give mobility to all plants. If you use an add-on like a bucket dolly, you won’t need to walk and lift the garden bucket. A bucket dolly can hold both 3.5 and 5-gallon buckets. The 3.5-gallon plastic bucket comes with plastic or steel wire handles that allow gardeners to move heavy soil easily.
Weather Resistance
A 3.5-gallon bucket is a so-called high-heat container, Polypropylene, for example, begins to lose strength at 180°F (82°C). High-density polyethylene can withstand a 266°F (130°C) environment. According to this fact, it is a reliable garden bucket that can both work indoors or outdoors with any environment.
Moreover, the smooth bucket wall is leak-proof, rust-proof, and waterproof. It’s a great long-lasting plastic container. Oh, don’t forget the plastic buckets are easy to clean if your bucket wall sticks with the mud.
Budget Friendly
It is a luxury thing to use a wood bucket. First, wood buckets are hard to recycle after use and easily broken. Second, the wood resources are from trees, which remain lacking and need to be protected.
Metal buckets have a mining process and a much more complicated manufacturing process than Plastic. Plastic is a kind of synthetic material, that is easy to produce through by injection molding manufacturer. Manufacturers use pure HDPE or PP resin pellets to produce a 3-gallon bucket in about 20-30 seconds. It is cost effective and robust which become a first choice in the bucket packaging industry.

Customized Decoration
The decoration of the plastic container has two parts. The first part is the base color of the bucket. This color can be added to the masterbatch.
It is mixed according to a professional color formula. The bucket is made with one-time injection molding. This process ensures that the color will not fade. It is not just a few simple colors but can be private and personalized according to customer requirements.
The second is the logo printing on the outside of the plastic pail wall, because of the process of making plastic buckets and the material of the plastic itself. Screen printing, thermal transfer printing, and in-mold labeling with the full enclosure are the preferred solutions for 3.5-gallon plastic drums.
What’s more, it can not only be carried out at the same time as the production of the bucket body, saving the time of delivery to the customer and saving the customer money. More importantly, its packaging cost is very low, only need to pay the basic printing film production cost and power consumption, etc.
