Bürkle Packaging Buckets are reusable white polypropylene containers designed for the packaging, transport and storage of food ingredients, dry goods, building materials and compatible non-aggressive chemicals.
Manufactured from durable polypropylene (PP), each bucket is supplied with a matching lid and uses an airtight push-lock closure to help protect contents during storage and handling.
A strong carrying handle makes the bucket easy to move between storage, laboratory and production areas, while the opaque white construction provides a clean professional appearance and prevents direct viewing through the container wall.
Available in 1 L, 2 L, 3 L, 5 L and 10 L capacities, the Bürkle 2327 series is suited to food and beverage production, industrial QA/QC, ingredient handling, environmental applications and general laboratory storage.

Bürkle specifies the packaging bucket with an airtight closure.
The lid uses a push-lock design that snaps securely onto the bucket and helps protect compatible contents during normal storage and transport.
An airtight closure can be particularly useful for materials that should be protected from:
Bürkle describes the standard 2327 packaging bucket as airtight, but does not list a UN dangerous-goods approval for this product family. Regulated dangerous goods require packaging approved for the specific substance, packing group and transportation requirements.
Bürkle supplies the packaging bucket complete with its matching lid.
This makes the product a ready-to-use packaging system rather than requiring users to source a separate closure after purchasing the bucket.
The lid and bucket should remain paired with the appropriate capacity to maintain the intended closure fit.
Each packaging bucket incorporates a strong carrying handle for transporting the container between work areas.
This can be particularly useful in food-production plants, laboratories, warehouses and manufacturing facilities where filled containers must be moved between sampling, storage, preparation and QA/QC locations.
Filled weight depends on the density of the contents. A 10 L bucket filled with a dense powder or liquid may be considerably heavier than 10 kg. Use appropriate lifting and handling procedures for the material being packaged.
The Bürkle 2327 packaging bucket is manufactured from white polypropylene (PP).
Polypropylene combines low weight, toughness and resistance to many commonly handled materials, making it useful for packaging and storage applications.
Bürkle also describes the material as impermeable to light, making the opaque white bucket useful when a transparent container is not preferred.
Bürkle specifically positions this bucket for non-aggressive chemicals. Do not assume polypropylene or the lid system is suitable for every chemical. Verify compatibility with the exact substance, concentration, temperature and expected contact time before use.
Bürkle identifies the packaging bucket as suitable for the food industry and publishes food-contact documentation for the 2327 product family.
Potential food and beverage applications include:
Food-production facilities should still confirm that the bucket, cleaning method, intended reuse and material compatibility meet their own sanitation, allergen-control and food-safety requirements.
The smaller 1 L, 2 L and 3 L capacities are particularly useful where a food manufacturer or QA/QC laboratory needs to retain representative portions of ingredients or finished materials.
Potential examples include:
Always verify that the specific food or ingredient is compatible with the polypropylene bucket and closure.
Bürkle specifically identifies the building-material industry as an application for the 2327 packaging bucket.
Potential compatible materials can include:
The wide open bucket format makes these materials easier to fill and remove than from a narrow-neck bottle or jerrycan.
Manufacturing and industrial laboratories can use the Bürkle packaging bucket for suitable samples and materials where a reusable container with a secure lid is useful.
Potential applications include:
Bürkle also identifies the packaging bucket for suitable non-aggressive chemicals used in environmental applications.
Depending on the material and analytical requirements, the bucket may be useful for:
For regulated environmental sampling, confirm that polypropylene and the bucket closure meet the requirements of the analytical method before collecting the sample.
Cambridge also offers the Bürkle Industrial LLDPE Bucket with Metal Handle and Pouring Spout .
| Feature | PP Packaging Bucket | LLDPE Industrial Bucket |
| Primary Purpose | Packaging, transport and storage | Mixing, transporting and decanting |
| Material | Polypropylene | LLDPE |
| Lid Included | Yes | Open bucket |
| Airtight Closure | Yes, manufacturer specified | No standard lid |
| Pouring Spout | No | Yes |
| Graduations | No scale specified | 1 L graduations |
| Best Fit | Closed storage and packaging | Open mixing and controlled pouring |
Choose the Bürkle Packaging Bucket when a secure lid and enclosed storage are priorities.
Choose the Industrial LLDPE Bucket when a pouring spout, volume graduations and open access are more important.
The Bürkle packaging bucket is a general-purpose packaging and storage container rather than a specialized analytical sample vessel.
For regulated analytical work, the required container may depend on:
Select the sample container according to the analytical method when formal laboratory testing requirements apply.

The Bürkle 2327 packaging bucket family is manufactured from white polypropylene, commonly abbreviated PP.
Cambridge offers 1 L, 2 L, 3 L, 5 L and 10 L capacities.
Yes. Bürkle specifies the packaging bucket as complete with its matching lid.
Yes. Bürkle describes the 2327 packaging bucket as having an airtight closure.
Bürkle specifies a push-lock closure. The lid is pressed into position to form the intended closed packaging configuration.
Yes. Bürkle specifies a strong carrying handle for transport and routine handling.
Bürkle identifies the 2327 series for use in the food industry and publishes food-contact documentation for the bucket family. Users should still confirm suitability for their specific food or ingredient and sanitation process.
Bürkle specifically identifies non-aggressive chemicals as an application. Compatibility with polypropylene and the closure should be verified for the exact chemical, concentration, temperature and storage period.
Yes. The wide-open bucket format and secure lid make the product well suited to many compatible dry powders, granules, ingredients and industrial materials.
No. Bürkle specifies a white polypropylene construction and describes the material as impermeable to light.
Bürkle does not specify a graduated volume scale on the 2327 packaging bucket. The stated capacity is the nominal container capacity rather than a calibrated measuring scale.
It is primarily designed as a packaging, transport and storage bucket. It can also be useful in laboratories and QA/QC environments where an enclosed polypropylene container is appropriate.
Do not assume so. Bürkle does not list a UN dangerous-goods approval for the standard 2327 packaging bucket. Dangerous goods require an approved means of containment appropriate to the substance and transportation requirements.
The packaging bucket is an enclosed polypropylene container supplied with an airtight lid for storage and packaging. Bürkle's LLDPE industrial bucket is an open container with a pouring spout and litre graduations designed primarily for mixing, transporting and decanting.
Cambridge Environmental Products supplies Bürkle polypropylene packaging buckets in Canada in 1 L, 2 L, 3 L, 5 L and 10 L capacities for food and beverage, industrial QA/QC, laboratory and general packaging applications.
Cambridge Environmental Products supplies Bürkle buckets, bottles, sampling equipment and laboratory material-handling products across Canada.
If you are unsure whether a packaging bucket, industrial bucket or another container is appropriate, send us the material being stored, required capacity, chemical concentration if applicable, expected storage time and whether food-contact documentation is required.
The correct bucket depends on whether you need sealed storage, open mixing, controlled pouring, graduations, chemical compatibility or food-contact documentation.
Send Cambridge your application and we can help identify the appropriate Bürkle packaging, industrial or stainless steel bucket.
