Green olives, black olives, capers

Buckets for green and black olives in brine

Green olives, black olives, and capers reach stores and cafes in bulk packs but sell in small portions: by weight at the deli, from a market stall, in salads, and on pizza. Repacking calls for packaging that keeps the product under brine, with a lid that seats firmly on the rim. At the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ), HTI molds food-grade buckets from 560 ml to 21 L and 250 and 400 ml hexagonal containers for exactly these jobs.

Barrel, bucket, container: repacking olives

Olives arrive in barrels and sell in portions: a deli needs one thing, a pizzeria another. Select a buyer to see the packaging and the weight with brine from the table on this page. In the "By weight" tab, a liter of olives with brine counts as 1.05 kg.

Brine and weighing

Olives need brine, sellers need convenient packaging

Once a large tin can is opened, it can't be closed again, so the leftover olives get transferred right away. What they go into decides how the product looks on display and how much brine is lost along the way. Here's what delis, pizzerias, and packers look for.

The last olives stay in brine too

An olive above the liquid level quickly loses its looks, so vendors make sure the product stays covered with brine. The bucket tapers toward the bottom, so a small amount of liquid stands higher in it than in a flat tray. Even when the bucket is nearly empty, the last olives don't dry out.

Weighing without puddles on the counter

The vendor scoops olives with a slotted spoon, and the brine drains back into the bucket, not onto the scale. The 175-224 mm opening on the 2.3 to 5.6 L buckets fits a slotted spoon and a ladle, and the bail handle lets you tuck the bucket under the counter in one move.

Pizzeria and cafe kitchens

A cook uses black olives and capers a little at a time, but every day. A 3.8 or 5.6 L bucket sits on the work shelf and closes with a lid that seats in the double rim, so brine doesn't spill when the bucket gets moved around.

Packaging customers trust

Shoppers understand the olives were packed at the store, not at a factory, and want to know nobody has touched them since. The OPEN tamper-evident tear strip under the lid rim is torn off on first opening: an intact strip means the bucket hasn't been opened since packing.

From barrel to retail

Who repacks and into what size

Green and black olives come to the region from far away in bulk packs: tin cans, small barrels, and large buckets. From there, they're split into portions for each buyer: the deli, the market stall, the pizzeria kitchen. The table shows who uses which packaging and how much a full bucket weighs with brine, assuming about 1.05 kg per liter, as for other pickled products.

For selling by weight in stores and at the market, the mid-range sizes from 2.3 to 5.6 L work best: the bucket can be carried in one hand, and a slotted spoon fits easily through the opening. Small buckets and containers are ready-made retail packs that shoppers take off the shelf without weighing. Weights include brine and are rounded to 0.1 kg; the packer determines the weight of the olives themselves by draining a test sample.

How to choose

Deli, bazaar, or kitchen

Choose the size based on how fast you sell: the bucket on display should empty quickly, and reserve stock is better kept closed in larger packaging. Then the display bucket gets topped up from the reserve, and the large bucket isn't opened ten times a day.

Logistics

Supply for delis and kitchens

Stores usually stock up on green and black olives ahead of holiday feasts, so it pays to order packaging for selling by weight in advance. You can pick up buckets and containers from our plant in the Bishkek FEZ, Ak-Chiy village. Our own trucks deliver to delis and restaurants across Bishkek and Chuy Region, and a freight carrier ships to Osh, Jalal-Abad, Karakol, Cholpon-Ata, and Talas. Stores and packers in Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, and Karaganda receive deliveries by the pallet within the EAEU. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place your order. Containers and buckets in different sizes can be combined in one shipment.

Questions and answers

Green and black olives: what buyers ask about packaging

Didn't find your answer?A sales manager replies Mon-Fri, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, Bishkek time

A food-grade bucket with a lid, sized to the leftover amount: for 2-3 kg, a 2.3 or 3 L bucket works, and for a large can, 5.6 L. Cover the olives with their own brine and press the lid down until it seats in the rim.

Yes, the buckets are molded from food-grade polypropylene and are used for pickles, marinated foods, and other products in brine. The lid seats in the double rim, so brine doesn't slosh out when you carry the bucket.

A 2.3 or 3.8 L bucket works well at the deli counter: it doesn't take up much room, and a slotted spoon fits easily through its 175 or 200 mm opening. Customers take their olives home in a 250 or 400 ml hexagonal container.

Our sales manager prices each order based on sizes, quantity, color, and printing. Call +996 222 600 292 and tell us how many green and black olives you repack, and we'll quote the buckets and containers together.

Yes, with a label on the finished bucket or with in-mold labeling (IML): the image is fused into the wall during molding and won't peel off, even if a bucket of brine gets wiped down often. Learn more on our IML page.

Yes, by the pallet within the EAEU to Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Karaganda, and other cities. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order.

A clear bucket shows off size and color, so big green olives and black olives sell themselves. White buckets are the pick for capers and small labeled packs, where the name and ingredients matter most.
