11.5 L plastic bucket

Model: PK115 · HTI plastic buckets

A food-grade 11.5 liter plastic bucket with a metal handle and a tight-fitting lid with a tamper-evident tear strip. This is the workhorse size for processors: it is used to pack honey for wholesale, sour cream and cottage cheese, fish, paint and ready-mixed putty. We mold it in Bishkek and ship across Kyrgyzstan and to Kazakhstan: Almaty, Astana, Shymkent and other cities.

Specifications

11.5 L bucket specifications

The bucket comes in two versions built on the same body: food-grade and medical. Dimensions, weight and volume are identical; the purpose, color and handle differ. Every 11.5 liter bucket for Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan is molded at our plant in Bishkek.

The difference between nominal capacity and ISO volume is the headspace to the brim. A nominal 11.5 L is the working fill, while the bucket holds 12.575 L right to the top. This headspace lets the lid seat without squeezing product out and gives thick product room to expand.

Purchasing calculation

How much product fits in an 11.5 L bucket

Volume is measured in liters, but purchasing is planned in tonnes. Below is the conversion for the products most often packed in the 11.5 liter size.

ProductDensityNet weight at an 11.5 L fillBuckets per 1 tonnePallets of buckets per 1 tonne
Honey1.42 kg/L16.3 kg620.08

Water-based paint1.50 kg/L17.2 kg580.07
Ready-mixed putty1.70 kg/L19.6 kg520.06

Densities are typical values: our sales manager will recalculate the net weight for your recipe using your product's actual data. A pallet holds 816 buckets. A full bucket of paint weighs over 32 kilograms including packaging, so bear this in mind if it is carried by hand.

Order calculator

How many pallets and trucks for 11.5 L buckets

A pallet holds 816 buckets and stands 2.83 m high. A mega trailer with a 3 m high body takes 18 pallets, or 14,688 buckets. Enter your quantity or product weight and we will show the pallets, packaging weight and truck load.

Trailers and containers are calculated on standard internal dimensions, with single-stacked pallets (no double stacking). Your sales manager will confirm the price and lead time for the order.

Applications

Typical uses for the 11.5 L bucket

11.5 liters is where processing-scale packing begins: the net weight is already a wholesale quantity, yet the bucket can still be lifted with one hand by its metal handle. It is bought by apiaries, dairy and fish processors, confectioners and paint manufacturers in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

Honey for wholesale

The go-to container for honey extraction and storage: 16.3 kg net, 62 buckets per tonne. The tight-fitting lid keeps moisture out, and the metal handle takes the full weight.

Sour cream, cottage cheese, ayran

A format for dairies and processors: the product goes not to retail but to further production or food service. Polypropylene withstands washing and freezing.

Fish and preserves

Herring, preserves and marinades for processors around Issyk-Kul and in Kazakhstan's Caspian regions. The headspace to the brim keeps the brine from forcing the lid off.

Paint and putty

Water-based paint, primer, ready-mixed putty and mastic. The plastic grip on the handle does not cut into your palm when the bucket is carried full.

Components

Lid, handle, color, and printing

Lid

Included with the bucket. It seats around the entire rim and opens via a tamper-evident tear strip: once opened, it shows, and the strip cannot be resealed.

Handle

A steel bail handle with a plastic grip in the middle. On an 11.5 liter bucket this is no extra: under a full load a bare wire handle cuts into the palm. The medical version has a plastic handle.

Color

The white body is chosen for labels and full-surface printing; the clear one when buyers need to see the honey or sour cream right through the wall.

Printing

A label is applied to the finished bucket. IML works differently: the film is placed in the mold and fused into the wall during molding, so the artwork will not wash off. This size also offers a third option, offset printing on the body; its artwork template is in the 3D configurator.

Medical version

11.5 L medical bucket: the same body

For hospitals, laboratories and large clinics where waste builds up in volume.

  • Same body and dimensions as the food-grade bucket
  • Plastic handle: the medical version has no metal parts at all
  • Yellow and red for waste class color coding
  • For Class B waste (by Kyrgyz sanitary classification), sharps and used wipes

Nearby sizes

11.5 L or a nearby size

The nearest sizes in the range are 8 and 15 liters. Besides volume, look at packaging weight per liter of product: on large runs, a difference of a few grams adds up to tonnes of plastic.

Of the three neighboring sizes, 11.5 liters uses the least packaging per liter of product: 26.7 g versus 31.2 for the 8-liter and 30.0 for the 15-liter bucket. Yet a pallet still holds 816 buckets, the same as the 15 liter.

Logistics

Delivery across Kyrgyzstan and to Kazakhstan

An 11.5 liter order ships from the same site where the bucket is molded. Our sales manager confirms the date and cost when you order: they are calculated separately for Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

How we deliver
KGKyrgyzstanPickup and delivery from Bishkek

Molding and storage are side by side in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (Ak-Chiy village), so a pallet of 11.5 liter buckets can be collected the day it is ready. We deliver across Bishkek and the Chuy Region with our own truck and ship to Osh, Jalal-Abad and Karakol via a freight carrier.

All cities and regions
KZKazakhstanPallet shipments to cities across Kazakhstan

11.5 liter buckets go to Kazakhstan in full pallets of 816: Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Karaganda and other cities. Both countries are in the EAEU, so no customs clearance is needed, and the rate depends on the number of pallets on the truck.

There is no price list on the website: the 11.5 liter bucket is priced per order. The price depends on run size, version (white, clear or medical), printing and delivery distance. Call +996 222 600 292 or request a callback, and our sales manager will quote a price including delivery to your city.

A steel bail handle with a plastic grip. The grip turns in your palm, so a full bucket weighing over 15 kilograms can be carried without cuts. The medical version has a plastic handle and contains no metal at all.

Yes, in pallets of 816 to Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Karaganda and further across the country. Deliveries stay within the EAEU, and the rate is based on the number of pallets in the shipment.

Pickup from our warehouse in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (Ak-Chiy village), delivery across Bishkek and the Chuy Region with our own vehicles, and shipping to Osh, Jalal-Abad, Karakol and Tokmok via a freight carrier.

Nominal capacity is the working fill, while ISO measures the full volume to the brim. The headspace of just over a liter is deliberate: without it the lid squeezes out thick product, and frozen product presses against the underside of the lid.

816, exactly the same as 15 liter buckets. The two sizes have similar diameters, so moving up to the larger volume does not change the number of buckets per truck.

Yes. Labels suit small orders, IML suits large production runs: the film is fused into the wall during molding and lasts the life of the bucket. We agree the artwork with you before production starts.

Polypropylene performs well in sub-zero temperatures. Product expands as it freezes, so leave headspace to the brim: on the 11.5 liter bucket that is just over a liter.
