Drums & IBCs procurement guide
Bulk containers are specified by capacity, material and the transport approvals required for the contents. Procurement should define the required material/form, end use and acceptance basis rather than rely on a broad industrial containers label.
Pack function and product compatibility
The listed applications are Chemical and liquid storage, Bulk liquid transport, Lubricant and fuel handling and Food-grade bulk storage. State the actual substrate, process, project location or finished article because it determines the relevant grade, dimensions, finish and performance criteria.
Dimensions, performance and print
Use the quotation to record the selected values and acceptance basis for Capacity and container type, Contents and compatibility requirements, Transport approval requirements, New or reconditioned requirement and Quantities and delivery schedule. Those fields vary by source or configuration; any test report, datasheet, certificate or sample needed for approval must be named in the enquiry rather than assumed.
Unitisation and delivery
Define unit size and quantity basis, protective packing, labels and batch/lot traceability, pallet or bundle limits, moisture/temperature or hazardous-goods controls where applicable, unloading method, storage and phased site or production delivery.
