You can buy plastic buckets in Balykchy directly from the factory. Balykchy sits at the western end of Issyk-Kul, and its very name means "fisherman." Here, fish is salted, dried, and smoked, honey and berries are sold by the roadside, and cafes and canteens feed everyone heading to the north and south shore resorts in summer. HTI Group makes food-grade buckets, takeout containers, and jerry cans in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ) and ships them to Balykchy by freight carrier.
Nearby towns and villages: plastic buckets in Issyk-Kul Region.
In Balykchy, goods travel a short path: from the processing shop or backyard to a highway stall or cafe kitchen, and from there into a vacationer's car. We've mapped all fourteen buckets to these steps so you can see which size works where and what handle it has. Some cards also link to a detailed breakdown for the product.
Honey, berries, and fish in single servings for people driving through.
Fish by weight, preserves for the winter, and cafe prep.
Salt-curing the catch, salt stock, and wholesale shipments.
Containers and a tray for lunch in the car or on the beach.
Jerry cans for kitchen oil and water for the road.
Yellow and red buckets for the hospital, ambulance service, and vets on the west shore.
For a vacationer's cooler bag: a single serving of fish in aspic. A bucket with no handle takes up little space.
Berries with sugar at a highway stall: a clear bucket with a plastic or molded-in handle.
A gift from the lake: west shore honey, about 1.2 kg, carried by its plastic handle like a little basket.
Smoked fish pieces for the car: the handle is molded into the body, and the tight lid keeps the smell in.
Honey for the road: about 1.4 kg, plastic handle, and a bucket that fits in any bag.
Winter stock: preserves and berries with sugar, about 3.1 kg, with a metal bail handle.
Lightly salted fish by weight: the roadside seller pulls it out with tongs through the 200 mm opening.
Fish in aspic for a roadside stall: the clear wall shows drivers the goods in the minute they stop.
In a canteen kitchen: marinated fish for the shift, in a bucket with a metal bail handle that fits in the fridge.
For cafes: shashlik marinade and prep, a bail handle with plastic grip, and a lid that seats into a double rim.
Salting room: the second batch of the catch in brine, about 12.1 kg, carried from the vat to the table by the bail handle with plastic grip.
Salt-curing the catch at the plant: fish in brine. The bail handle has a plastic grip, so nobody has to wrap it in a rag to carry the bucket.
Plant storeroom: a stock of curing salt, with a lid that keeps out moisture and a metal bail handle with plastic grip.
Shipping to wholesalers: salted fish by the batch to Bishkek, in our largest size, about 22 kg including brine.
Sauce for fish or a portion of berries for tea: a 250 ml hexagonal container with no handle that goes into the bag with the order.
Fish salad and snacks for the road: a 385 ml round container, no handle, with a tight lid.
Lunch to go: salad, lagman, or sauce in a hexagonal container with no handle, closed with a lid.
Ukha (fish soup) and shorpo (meat broth) to go from a roadside cafe: 550 ml, round, no handle, rides upright in the bag.
Fried fish with a side for the beach: a flat tray with no handle makes it to the shore under its lid.
Drinking water for the car until the next stop: five liters, molded-in handle, screw cap.
Oil for frying fish at cafes: a ten-liter jerry can with a handle molded into the body.
First step, the injection room: the valve in the lid of a one-liter bucket removes the needle, and the bucket has a plastic handle.
Dental office: everything left after an appointment goes into a yellow bucket with a plastic handle.
Ambulance on the lakeside highway: syringes from each call go in through the needle valve, and the bucket rides in the vehicle.
Veterinary inspection of the catch: hand sanitizing wipes from a dispenser bucket with a plastic handle.
City hospital wound care room: a day's materials in a red body for Class C waste (by Kyrgyz sanitary classification), with a valve lid.
Summer rush of vacationers: the admissions department collects Class B waste in an 11.2 L bucket.
Maternity hospital: a day's waste, in a yellow bucket carried to the storage area by its plastic handle.
District vets: supplies after vaccinating livestock before they're driven up to the jailoo (summer pastures), 18 L under a lid.
Last step, storage until pickup: 21 L, lid closed, and no steel parts in the bucket.
Fish is salted in large buckets and sold from medium ones: 15 L is handy in the plant, but it won't fit on a narrow roadside counter. Highway cafes need both kitchen buckets and containers for customers taking lunch to the car. You can order all of it in one shipment.
Balykchy's economy rests on two things: the lake and the highway. In summer, a stream of cars passes through town toward the resorts and beaches, and the rest of the year, people here salt fish, put up honey and berries, and feed drivers. Here are the four jobs that call for packaging.
Fish is salted and marinated in batches, and the brine shouldn't slosh out when the bucket is carried. The lid seats into a double rim and holds tight, and the 15 L bucket with a bail handle and plastic grip goes from the salting room to the truck with no rag wrapped around the handle.
A driver stops for a couple of minutes and wants to see the goods right away. The clear 3.8 L bucket shows off fish in aspic or berries, and the lid keeps out road dust. The OPEN tear strip tells shoppers the bucket hasn't been opened since filling.
In summer, Balykchy's cafes and canteens feed travelers heading to the resorts, and many take their food to go. The 400 ml hexagonal container suits salad or lagman, and the 750 ml flat tray suits fried fish with a side. Both close with a lid, so lunch reaches the beach intact.
Honey from Issyk-Kul apiaries and berries from nearby villages are bought for the road and as gifts. A one-liter bucket of honey weighs about 1.4 kg and fits in any bag, while 2.3 L of preserves comes to about 3.1 kg, a family's winter supply.
In Balykchy, packaging demand shifts noticeably with the seasons. In summer, containers and small buckets for road purchases sell the most; the rest of the year, fish plants and canteens are the main customers. Choose sizes based on who buys your product.
Choose an item and quantity, and we'll show the pallet count, units rounded up to full pallets, total nominal capacity in liters, empty packaging weight, and the truck you'll need.
HTI has no warehouse or representative in Balykchy; all packaging leaves from our plant in the Bishkek FEZ, Ak-Chiy village. A freight carrier, agreed on when you order, takes the pallets to Balykchy, and your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost at that point. If you're in Bishkek on business, you can pick up the pallets at the plant in your own vehicle. In spring, before the resort season starts, highway cafes and fish plants do well to order a supply for the whole summer: buckets and containers nest in stacks and won't clog your storeroom, while jerry cans, which don't nest, are stored separately.
Yes. The buckets are molded from food-grade polypropylene and close with a lid that seats into a double rim. For salt-curing, buyers use 11.5 to 15 L; for selling by weight, 3.8 L or 5.6 L. See our buckets for fish and caviar page for a detailed breakdown.
For salads and sauces: 250 ml and 400 ml hexagonal containers; for main courses and fish with a side: the 750 ml flat tray. All close with a lid and stack on top of each other in the bag.
By freight carrier: pallets leave our plant in the Bishkek FEZ and arrive in Balykchy. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order, and pickup from the factory is also available.
Your sales manager calculates the price based on sizes, quantity, color, handle, and printing. Call +996 222 600 292 with everything you need for the season, and you'll get one quote for the whole order.
Yes. For a trial order, we apply a label; for large runs, we use IML: the image is fused into the bucket wall during molding and won't peel off, even with constant washing.
Clear, if the product sells itself: fish in aspic, berries, preserves. White, if the bucket carries your label with the name and ingredients and the look of the product matters less.
A pallet holds 17,600 hexagonal containers, whether 250 ml or 400 ml. Estimate how many takeout portions your cafe sells per day, and you'll see how much of the season one pallet will cover.
Dimensions, weights, and handle options for every bucket and container are on the size pages in the catalog. For deliveries to the east shore of the lake, see our packaging in Karakol page, and for general terms across the country, our plastic packaging in Kyrgyzstan page.
Tell us how many takeout portions you sell per day and how much fish you salt per week. Our sales manager will pick the buckets and containers, work out the pallets, and give you the terms for shipping to Balykchy.
