Aral (Aralsk) is a fishing town in Kyzylorda Region on the Small Aral Sea. Locals salt, air-dry, and smoke zander, bream, and carp. They also raise camels and sell shubat (fermented camel's milk) and kurt. Fish calls for buckets with a wide opening and a metal bail handle, while dairy needs small buckets for the counter. HTI molds food-grade buckets from 560 ml to 21 L and ships them to Aral by the pallet, straight from the factory. Below: picks for fish and dairy, an order calculator, and delivery details.
Aral, Kyzylorda Region: buckets across the region
The HTI lineup has fourteen sizes. Under each one is what people in Aral use it for: at the pier, in the salting shop, at the fish stalls, or on the camel farm. Each card opens the size's page with dimensions, empty weight, and photos.
Roe, sour cream, shubat, and kurt for shoppers.
Small-batch salting, fish mince, and appetizers.
The catch, fish deliveries, salt, and feed.
Containers for roe, fish appetizers, kurt, and shubat.

Yellow and red buckets for the district hospital, village paramedics, and the vet.
Home-salted zander roe for the market's fish stalls: a low bucket with no handle, right on the counter.
Homemade sour cream and kaymak from backyard cows for neighbors and small shops in town, with a plastic handle.
Fresh shubat for market shoppers: a bucket with a plastic or molded-in handle.
Lightly salted roe and fish appetizers for cafes: the handle is molded in one piece with the body.
A 1 L bucket of kurt or suzbe (strained yogurt) to take on the road or bring to relatives as a gift.
Camel's milk shubat for the market: the flat lid fits snugly into the double rim.
Lightly salted fish pieces for cafes and canteens that serve them as a cold appetizer.
Fish mince for patties and dumplings at small home-based kitchens in town.
Dried roach and bream for delivery to stores across the district: a bucket with a metal bail handle.
Salting bream and zander in small batches right on the shore: the bail handle with plastic grip holds a bucket full of brine.
Carrying the catch from the boat to the salting shed: the plastic grip on the bail handle doesn't dig into your palm.
Wholesale deliveries of salted fish to the processing plant: brim-full, the bucket holds 16.56 L.
Salt for curing fish and a reserve of brine, kept under a closed lid.
Feed, bran, and salt for camels and sheep on the pastures around town.
Zander roe for cafe sandwiches: a single serving in the 250 ml hexagonal container.
Kurt and suzbe in small market portions: the round 385 ml container with lid.
Fish appetizer pieces for travelers passing through: 400 ml under a tight-fitting lid.
A taste of shubat for visitors: the round 550 ml container with a tight-fitting lid.
Fried zander with a side dish to go: the flat tray, lid on top.
Water for fishermen heading out on the Small Aral Sea: the 5 L jerry can with screw cap.
Water for camel farms and fishing camps: 10 L with a molded-in handle.
Aral District Hospital: injections, needles removed via the lid valve, the 1 L bucket on the treatment table.
Paramedic in a fishing village: cuts from fishing gear, with cotton wool and bandages going into the yellow 2.3 L bucket.
Vaccinations for fishermen before the fishing season: syringes go through the lid valve.
Salting sheds and fish processing shops: hand wipes from a dispenser bucket.
Surgeon: fishing injuries, with dressings going into the red Class C bucket (by Kyrgyz sanitary classification).
Camel farm vet: used supplies after treatments, 11.2 L.
Aral midwives: one shift fills a yellow 11.5 L bucket, carried out by its plastic handle.
The fishing town's outpatient clinic: shared collection from all exam rooms, 18 L, 526 g empty weight.
Kyzylorda is more than four hundred kilometers away, so waste builds up in a 21 L bucket between pickups.
The buckets are tapered and nest inside each other, so a fishing season's supply of packaging takes up little space in the shop. The lid fits into the double rim, and the OPEN tamper-evident tear strip below it is torn off only on first opening.
For fish, what matters most is a wide opening so whole fish go in easily, and a metal bail handle for carrying a bucket of brine. For shubat and kurt, a handy retail size matters more. The table shows the product, who packs it, and which bucket they choose.
| Product | Who packs it | Bucket | Neck | Learn more |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salted bream, zander | fish salting shops | 8 L | 276 mm | buckets for fish and caviar |
| Catch from the boat | fishing crews | 11.5 L | 295 mm | metal bail handle |
| Fish for wholesale delivery | fishermen and processing shops | 15 L | 303 mm | fish processing packaging |
| Home-salted roe | fish stalls | 560 ml | 118 mm | tamper evidence |
| Shubat | camel farms | 2.3 L | 175 mm | dairy products |
| Kurt, suzbe | households | 1 L | 132.5 mm | kurt and cheese |
| Salt for curing | fish salting shops | 18 L | 332 mm | spices and dry goods |
From 8 L up, the opening is at least 276 mm wide, and the bail handle has a plastic grip. These are the fish buckets: it's easy to layer fish in them with salt between the layers, and to carry a full bucket along the pier or across the shop.
The town lives off fish from the Small Aral Sea and steppe livestock, with camels playing a big part. Packaging is needed at every step, from the boat to the counter and from the farm to the shubat buyer. Below are four groups of buyers and the sizes each one picks first.
Crews carry the catch from the boat to the shed in 11.5 L buckets and haul it in for sale in 15 L buckets. The bail handle with plastic grip takes the weight of the fish plus water or brine, and the lid keeps sand and sun off the catch in the truck bed.
Bream and zander go for salting, air-drying, and smoking. Salting shops use 8 L buckets for small batches and 18 L for salt and brine, while small home-based producers use 3.8 L for fish mince.
Shubat is sold fresh, so it needs convenient retail packaging: 2.3 L or 850 ml with a handle. For larger volumes and transport, farms add 5 and 10 L jerry cans to the buckets.
Home-salted roe sells in 560 ml buckets, and appetizers in 900 ml buckets with a molded-in handle. The OPEN tear strip under the rim shows shoppers the bucket hasn't been opened since filling.
Choose a bucket and enter the quantity, and the calculator works out the pallets. A salting shop that needs 2,000 of the 8 L buckets for the fishing season gets three pallets. A fishing crew that delivers its catch in 15 L buckets and orders 800 of them fits on a single pallet.
Buckets are sold in orders of one pallet or more. The process is the same for a fish processing shop, a fishing crew, or a camel farm. If a full pallet of one size is too much for you, team up with your neighbors at the pier and order together.
Call +996 222 600 292 and describe your product (fish, roe, shubat, or kurt), plus the sizes and how many you need for the season.
Your sales manager will suggest buckets for your product, convert the order into pallets, and quote the price of the order and delivery to Aral.
If your shop or farm name goes on the bucket, approve the label or IML artwork. Without printing, we assemble the order right away.
The pallets leave our plant in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ) with a freight carrier, the shipment is processed within the EAEU, and the documents travel with the cargo.
Buckets ship from the HTI plant in Ak-Chiy village, Bishkek FEZ. A freight carrier takes them to Aral by the pallet, with the shipment processed within the EAEU. Your sales manager quotes delivery time and cost together with the order price, before you confirm the order.
HTI has no warehouse or pickup point in Aral. Every order is assembled at the plant on request, so the truck carries only what you ordered.
Demand for fish packaging follows the fishing season, so it's best to place your request before the season opens. Dairy farms need packaging more steadily, so they can stock up for several months at a time, along with jerry cans for shubat. Order roe and appetizer buckets on the same run as the large fish buckets so everything arrives in one truck.

Fish needs a reliable handle, the counter needs honest, tamper-evident packaging, and the farm needs a clear label. Here's what to choose from.
Buckets from 8 L up have a metal bail handle with a plastic grip. You can carry a bucket of fish and brine from the boat to the shop without chafing your hand.
Made for a label with the salting date and shop name. Text reads clearly on a white bucket, and the product doesn't show through.
The tear-off seal under the lid rim confirms that a bucket of roe or shubat hasn't been opened since filling.
The image is fused into the wall during molding and won't wash off. For regular production runs, it's more durable than a label.
