Enamels, paints, varnishes, pastes

Packaging for paint plants and coatings workshops

A paint plant makes a whole range, not a single product. You sell tinting pastes and varnishes by the liter, enamels in 2-3 liters, and primers and water-based paints in 5-21 liters. A hardware store shopper picks between brands in seconds. Then a crew carries the bucket up the stairs to the job site. HTI Group molds buckets from 1 to 21 liters for this range, with one in-mold labeling (IML) design and a metal bail handle with plastic grip from 8 liters. We ship to plants in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

Kit summary

    Pallet and unit counts follow factory standards; truck loading is an estimate. The order calculator shows the exact layout.

    Brand on the shelf

    The bucket as your brand in the hardware store

    In a hardware store, a row of paint buckets is a row of logos. A plant that gives every size the same design fills a solid block on the shelf. It looks bigger than competitors with mismatched packaging. Here is what makes up such a range.

    Bottom shelf row18 L: 60 g bail with plastic grip
    One design from 1 L to 21 L

    The IML film goes into the mold and fuses with the wall during molding. Your logo, brand color, and shade field look the same on every size. A paint drip wipes off with a rag without harming the image. Your sales manager helps you prepare the artwork for each size.

    Space for the shade code

    For a tinting system, leave a blank field on the IML artwork for a color code sticker. One base covers all shades, and the store marks the color after tinting. So you don't need to order separate packaging for every shade in your catalog.

    No opened buckets on the shelf

    The OPEN tamper-evident tear strip under the lid rim shows whether the bucket was opened. The clerk sees that a shopper looked inside to check the shade and sets the bucket aside. Your plant gets fewer complaints about a dried top layer.

    Handle by product weight

    Up to 5.6 liters, a metal bail handle without a grip or a plastic handle is enough. From 8 liters, we fit a bail handle with a plastic grip: paint is heavy, and crews carry full buckets up the stairs by hand. If your buyers prefer packaging without metal, a plastic handle is available on sizes up to 5.6 liters.

    Product range and storage

    A bucket lineup to match your product portfolio

    At a paint plant, each product group sells in its own size. The table shows typical product and bucket pairs, plus numbers for purchasing: how many buckets and how many pallets of empty packaging you need per 10,000 liters of output. The last column shows how much warehouse space to keep for buckets when you shift output from small packs to large ones or back.

    Per liter of product, the 21 L bucket takes the least warehouse space, and the 1 L and 8 L buckets take the most: almost twice as much. That is no reason to drop small packs, since tints and varnishes make your brand recognizable on the shelf. Still, keep this gap in mind when you plan packaging storage. See how much paint a pallet of each size holds on the paint buckets page.

    How to choose

    How to build a lineup for a new brand

    A new paint brand rarely launches in eight sizes at once. Three or four are usually enough, and you expand the range as dealers order more. Here is what technologists and marketers at paint plants take into account.

    2Interior water-based paint: 8 L for home renovation and 18 L for crews.8 L bucket18 L bucket
    3If your filling line is set up for the top diameter, choose pairs with the same top diameter: 3 L and 3.8 L (200 mm) or 18 L and 21 L (332 mm).3.8 L bucket21 L bucket
    4Test solvent-based products for polypropylene compatibility first, with a trial batch of your own formula.

    Packaging in time for construction season

    Paint demand climbs from spring, so it pays to stock packaging before the peak instead of chasing output. Empty buckets nest inside each other, so your winter stock takes a corner of the warehouse, not the whole shop floor. Pick up full pallets from the HTI warehouse in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ), Ak-Chiy village. Our own delivery trucks serve plants in Bishkek and Chuy Region. Buckets go to Osh, Jalal-Abad, Karakol, Naryn, and Talas by freight carrier. We ship by the pallet to paint and coatings producers in Almaty, Shymkent, Astana, Karaganda, and Aktobe within the EAEU. Buckets of different sizes, with or without IML, travel in one truck. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order.

    Questions and answers

    Frequently asked questions from paint manufacturers

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

    Usually three or four: 1 or 2.3 liters for enamels and varnishes, 8 liters for home renovation, and 18 or 21 liters for crews. You add other sizes once dealers start asking for them.

    Yes, with IML: we adapt the artwork to each bucket size, and the label is fused into the wall during molding. Your brand stands on the shelf as one block from 1 liter to 21 liters. Learn more on the IML printing page.

    Compatibility depends on the formula, so your plant technologist decides after testing a trial batch. Water-based paints, primers, and pastes have long been packed in polypropylene buckets everywhere.

    A sales manager prices each order based on sizes, quantity, handles, and printing. Call +996 222 600 292 and tell us your product range and seasonal output.

    From 8 liters: the 8, 11.5, 15, 18, and 21 L buckets come with a metal bail handle and plastic grip. On the 18 L and 21 L buckets the bail is heavier: 60 g.

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

    The strip tears off the first time the lid comes off and can't be put back. Stores use it to spot a bucket that was opened in the sales area and don't sell it as new. Your plant has fewer quality disputes with dealers.

    Catalog

    Buckets for paints and coatings in the HTI catalog

    The catalog lists every size from 1 to 21 liters with top dimensions, height, and handle options. If your plant also makes dry mixes, putty, or adhesives, see the buckets for construction mixes page.
