Car care products in jerry cans

Plastic jerry cans for car care products

Jerry cans in 5 and 10 L sizes for antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, car shampoo, and touchless car wash concentrates. The cap screws onto a threaded neck, the handle is molded as one piece with the body, and the flat front panel takes your brand's label. We mold them in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ) and ship by the pallet to filling plants, car washes, and auto repair shops in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Below you'll find pallet weight calculations and tips on choosing a size.

Net, gross, and a pallet of car care products

Antifreeze is heavier than water: a liter weighs about 1.07 kg, so a five-liter jerry can holds 5.35 kg net. Choose a liquid and a jerry can, and the tool shows net weight, gross weight with packaging, and how much product goes on a pallet. For car shampoo and foam, enter the weight per liter from the product data sheet.

How to choose

Five liters or ten

The size is set not by the liquid itself but by whoever uses it. A driver takes one jerry can home, a car wash goes through dozens of liters a week, and a filling plant thinks in tonnes and truckloads. If you're unsure, start with the points below and check the details with our sales manager.

1Retail, auto parts stores, top-ups at the shop: a 5 L jerry can. Filled with antifreeze, it weighs about 5.6 kg and is easy to carry in one hand.5 L jerry can
2Car washes, taxi fleets, bus depots: a 10 L jerry can, with 42 g of packaging per liter of product versus 48 g for the five-liter.10 L jerry can
3Selling both sizes under one brand? Keep one label design and change only its size: the jerry cans are 240 and 296 mm tall.
4Polypropylene stands up well to glycols, alcohols, and alkaline cleaning solutions. Test blends with acids or solvents in a trial fill before launching a batch.
5Plan warehouse space in full pallets: empty jerry cans don't nest inside each other, so a pallet of empty cans takes up as much room as a pallet of filled ones.

Shipment estimate

How much car care product fits on a pallet

A filling plant counts liters, while carriers and warehouse staff count kilograms. Here are both figures for two best-selling liquids: ready-to-use antifreeze and water-based summer washer fluid. Gross weight is the product plus the empty jerry can, not including the pallet itself. For shampoos and foam, take the density from the product data sheet.

A pallet holds almost half as many ten-liter jerry cans, yet more antifreeze: 1,070 kg versus 963 kg. Forklift operators and carriers work with gross weight, so add the packaging and the pallet itself to these figures. Concentrates and winter formulas have their own density: send us the product data sheet, and our sales manager will recalculate the shipment.

Where the jerry cans work

Filling plant, car wash, auto repair shop

Car care products travel from the plant through the warehouse and the store to a car wash or service bay. Each link expects something different from the packaging: stability under the filling nozzle, a comfortable handle, room for the brand. The same design handles all four jobs; only the size and the label change. That's why many filling plants order both sizes: five-liter for stores, ten-liter for car washes and vehicle fleets.

Filling plant

The flat front panel takes a label without wrinkles, and the rectangular body with ribs at the base stands steady under the filling nozzle and on the conveyor. The cap goes on right after filling, and the jerry can moves to the pallet. Identical dimensions across the whole batch make packing and stacking easier.

Car wash

Touchless wash concentrates, wax, and wheel cleaners are easier to buy in 10 L jerry cans: there's less empty packaging left after each shift. The threaded cap is screwed back on after each use, so the can never stands open in the bay. The molded-in handle makes it easy to carry from the storeroom to the wash bay.

Auto repair shop

Technicians top up antifreeze and washer fluid straight from the five-liter jerry can. They hold it in one hand by the molded-in handle, and the narrow neck pours a thin stream into the reservoir, with no need for a funnel at every bay. What's left is capped and put back on the rack until the next car.

Auto parts store

Shoppers take the jerry can off the shelf and carry it home in the trunk, so a flat base and a sturdy handle matter. The label on the front panel works like a shop window: the brand is visible from the aisle. Next to other makers' cans, the winner is the one that shows its purpose and size in big letters.

Logistics

Shipping to bottlers and retail chains

Plants with their own truck pick up pallets of packaging from the factory warehouse in the Bishkek FEZ, Ak-Chiy village. We deliver jerry cans with our own trucks to car care product makers in Bishkek and across Chuy Region. Pallets go to Osh, Jalal-Abad, Karakol, Naryn, and Talas through a freight carrier. For filling plants and wholesalers in Almaty, Shymkent, Astana, and Karaganda, we ship pallets within the EAEU. Keep in mind that an empty jerry can takes up as much space in the truck as a full one, so a truck of jerry cans fills up faster than a truck of buckets. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order. Demand for washer fluid and antifreeze climbs in season, so it's best to order packaging early.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about jerry cans for car care products

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

The body is made of polypropylene, which easily handles the glycols, alcohols, and alkaline cleaning solutions that most car care products are based on. If your formula contains acids or organic solvents, send the composition to our sales manager and test the packaging with a trial fill. The test doesn't take long and settles any questions before the batch goes out to stores.

For steady use, 10 L is more convenient: one jerry can replaces two, and you use less packaging per liter of product. Keep the five-liter for retail and for staff who carry liquid to the bays by hand. Small car washes in Bishkek or Tokmok often stock both sizes.

Our sales manager prices each order based on jerry can size, quantity, and whether you need a label. Call +996 222 600 292 or request a callback, and you'll get a quote for your filling volume.

Yes, a label with your logo, ingredients, and barcode goes on the flat front panel. Label size and placement are agreed when you order the print run, so it sits flat and doesn't wrap over the ribs. Leave space on the label for the fill date and batch number.

Yes, by the pallet within the EAEU: to Almaty, Shymkent, Astana, Karaganda, and other cities. A pallet holds 180 five-liter or 100 ten-liter jerry cans, and your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order.

The standard color is white. When green, red, and blue antifreeze come in identical packaging, the label is what tells them apart, so print the product color large on the front panel: it makes life easier for warehouse staff and sellers. A colored label stands out sharply against a white background.

A jerry can is a closed container with its own handle and neck, so empty ones can't nest inside each other the way buckets do. Plan your packaging storage by full pallets, not by unit count. On the plus side, the rectangular body packs tightly on the pallet with no gaps between rows.

5 L and 10 L jerry cans for your car care products

Each size's product page lists dimensions, empty weight, and units per pallet. For a filling line order, it's faster to settle the details by phone: our sales manager will work out the pallets and the truck right away. If you also pack pastes or thick chemicals, check our packaging by application section, which covers buckets for a range of products.

Launching a new car care line?

Tell us which liquids you fill and how many liters a month. Our sales manager will pick the jerry can size, work out the number of pallets, and quote the order price including delivery. If your label is still in progress, ask for the front panel dimensions in advance so your designer can lay out the artwork to fit the can exactly.
