Two sizes side by side
1 L vs 2.3 L bucket: single portion or stock-up size
Shoppers buy a 1-liter bucket as a single purchase: a kilogram of sour cream, 1.42 kg of honey, a little paint for small repairs. A 2.3 liter bucket is already a family supply or a market-stall pack, and it is the first size in the range to come with a metal bail handle. The two are almost the same height, 121 and 132 mm, and all the extra volume has gone into width. We compare dimensions, handles, product weight and what the packaging costs you per tonne packed.

The two buckets in figures
1 L and 2.3 L: a summary table
The first rows come from the two buckets' product cards; the rest are calculated from them. Product weight is given for a fill to nominal capacity: honey at about 1.42 kg per liter, jam at about 1.33 kg, pickles in brine at about 1.05 kg. The bottom row converts packaging per tonne of honey: how many buckets you need and how much they weigh in total.
| Parameter | 1 L bucket | 2.3 L bucket |
|---|---|---|
| Model | PK10 | PK23 |
| Nominal / brim-full | 1 L / 1.18 L | 2.3 L / 2.444 L |
| Top × height | 132.5 × 121 mm | 175 × 132 mm |
| Empty bucket weight | 36 g | 62 g |
| Handle | plastic, 1.3 g | metal 13.4 g or plastic 3.4 g |
| Honey / jam / pickles | 1.42 / 1.33 / 1.05 kg | 3.27 / 3.06 / 2.42 kg |
| Per pallet: buckets / liters filled | 6 480 / 6 480 | 3 300 / 7 590 |
| Packaging per tonne of honey: buckets / kg | 704 / 25,4 | 306 / 19,0 |
Almost twice as many 1-liter buckets fit on a pallet, yet in packed volume a pallet of 2.3 liter buckets comes out 1,110 liters ahead. For every tonne of honey, the larger bucket saves about 6.4 kg of plastic and almost 400 lids to close on the line. The 1-liter size remains indispensable where shoppers pay for a portion rather than by the kilogram.
Calculation
How much product each one holds
Choose a product and a monthly volume - we will compare net weight, pieces per tonne, liters per pallet and how many pallets each item needs per month. Calculated on nominal capacity and the product weight per liter from our selection pages.

Where the line falls
What changes when you go from 1 L to 2.3 L
On paper the difference is 1.3 liters. In practice four things change at once: how the bucket is carried, how it is bought, how much it spreads out in width and how much plastic goes into every tonne of product.
The first steel bail handle
The 1-liter bucket comes only with a 1.3 g plastic handle: full of honey, it weighs about 1.46 kg. A 2.3 liter bucket already holds over 3 kilograms of product, so this is where the 13.4 g bail handle appears in the range. A 3.4 g plastic handle is still available for packaging that does not need metal.
Single purchase or stock-up
The 1-liter size is a shelf and gift format, picked up on impulse like a packet of tea. A 2.3 liter bucket is a considered stock-up purchase, more often made at the market or directly from a beekeeper. Choose the size to match these two ways of buying.
Growth in width
Height has grown by just 11 mm, while the top has widened from 132.5 to 175 mm. The 2.3 liter bucket is squat and stable, and in a fridge or on a shelf it takes up almost no more height than the 1-liter.
Plastic per tonne
Packing a tonne of honey into 1-liter buckets takes 704 of them, weighing 25.4 kg in total. With 2.3 liter buckets, 306 are enough, and they weigh 19.0 kg. For a packer that means fewer capping operations and less money tied up in packaging.
Verdict
Who needs 1 L, who needs 2.3 L
A simple rule: if the product sells by the unit and shoppers choose with their eyes, go for 1 liter. If it sells by weight, in small wholesale lots or to food service, go for 2.3 liters. Typical cases:
- Gift-pack honey, sour cream and cottage cheese on a shop shelf - 1 liter with a plastic handle.
- Honey in 3 kg packs, mushrooms and pickles at the market - 2.3 liters with a metal bail handle.
- Paint, primer and adhesive for small repairs - 1 liter: less left over, and the bucket is easy to close and put away until next time.
- Sauces and prepped ingredients for a small café kitchen - 2.3 liters: one bucket instead of two 1-liter ones, and fewer lids in the bin.
- Product needs to be on show? Both sizes are also molded in clear polypropylene.
All dimensions, versions and application tips are on the 1 liter bucket and 2.3 liter bucket pages. The neighboring pair of mid-size buckets is covered in the 2.3 or 3 liter comparison.
Delivery
One truck, two sizes
1-liter buckets come in pallets of 6,480, 2.3 liter buckets in pallets of 3,300, and both sizes can go in one shipment. Empty buckets nest inside each other, so the stacks take up little space. You can collect the packaging yourself from the factory warehouse in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone, Ak-Chiy village, or order delivery: we deliver across Bishkek and the Chuy Region with our own trucks and ship to Osh, Karakol, Talas, Naryn and Jalal-Abad via a freight carrier. Customers in Kazakhstan receive buckets by the pallet within the EAEU, in Shymkent, Almaty, Astana and other cities. Our sales manager will confirm lead time and cost when processing the order.
Questions and answers
Questions about choosing between 1 L and 2.3 L
This size comes only with a 1.3 g plastic handle: a full bucket of honey weighs about 1.46 kg. The 13.4 g metal bail handle starts in the range at 2.3 liters, which holds 2.3 times more product.
About 1 kg of sour cream in the 1-liter and about 2.3 kg in the 2.3 liter bucket; for jam, about 1.33 and 3.06 kg. Calculate by nominal capacity: the top 180 and 144 ml are left empty so the lid snaps into the rim without squeezing product out.
Per liter of product, the 2.3 liter bucket uses about 27 g of plastic and the 1-liter 36 g. If your sales format allows a bigger pack weight, the larger bucket noticeably cuts the share of packaging in your unit cost.
Our sales manager calculates the exact amount for your order: it depends on quantity, color, handle type and branding. Call +996 222 600 292 and ask for both sizes in one quote.
Yes. A label is applied to the finished bucket, while with IML the artwork is fused into the wall during molding and does not wash off. The artwork size for each body is agreed with our sales manager: the 2.3 liter wall is wider and gives more space.
Yes, buckets go to Kazakhstan by the pallet within the EAEU: to Shymkent, Almaty, Astana, Karaganda and other cities. Our sales manager will confirm freight cost and lead time when you order.
Yes, we mold both sizes in white and in clear polypropylene. Through the clear wall you can see the honey, jam or mushrooms, so the bucket does the job of a display case.
