塑料方桶5 升和 10 升Hello! We'll suggest the right size for your product, calculate pallets, and quote a price for your order.
Both jerry cans share the same design: a screw cap, a handle molded in one piece with the body, stiffening ribs on the bottom, and a flat front panel for the label. They differ in size, weight, and how they load on a pallet: 180 pcs of 5 L versus 100 pcs of 10 L. All the numbers are side by side below, and the verdict at the end shows which jerry can suits whom. We make both in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ) and ship across Kyrgyzstan and to Kazakhstan.
The numbers come from our catalog cards. Full weight is calculated for water, where 1 liter weighs 1 kg: with vegetable oil it comes out slightly lower, with household cleaning concentrates slightly higher. The pallet row shows how many jerry cans ship on a pallet and how many liters of product they will hold once filled.
| Parameter | Jerry can 5 L | Jerry can 10 L |

| Width | 163 mm | 201 mm |

| Packaging weight per liter | 48 g | 42 g |
| Weight filled with water | about 5.2 kg | about 10.4 kg |

The 10 L jerry can wins on packaging and pallet use: it takes 6 g less packaging per liter of product, and each pallet carries 100 L more product. The 5 L jerry can wins in the hand: full, it weighs half as much and stands 56 mm shorter. Which argument matters more depends on who handles the jerry can and where.

Choose a product and a monthly volume to compare net weight, units per tonne, liters per pallet, and pallets per month for each size. We calculate from nominal capacity and the product's weight per liter, as on our packaging guides.
In the warehouse, 56 mm of height looks minor. In daily use the difference shows in the weight of a full container, how you tilt the jerry can over a funnel, where it sits between fills, and how many fit in a truck.

A full 5 L jerry can of water weighs about 5.2 kg, and you can carry and tilt it with one hand. A 10 L jerry can, about 10.4 kg, usually needs a second hand under the bottom when pouring, especially over a narrow funnel.
Empty jerry cans do not nest, so the truck carries their full volume. A pallet holds 180 pcs of 5 L or 100 pcs of 10 L, and each pallet of 10 L jerry cans is later filled with 100 L more product.
Buyers of water or household cleaning products usually pick 5 L: the jerry can fits in a shopping cart and in a car trunk next to the grocery bags. At 240 mm tall, it fits even on a low shelf.
Cafes, car washes, cleaning companies, and production sites use liquid fast, so 10 L pays off for them: half as many caps, labels, and empty containers for the same volume, and 42 g of packaging per liter instead of 48 g.
The bottom line: 5 L is for retail and anywhere the jerry can is carried by hand; 10 L is for kitchens, workshops, and service businesses, where savings on packaging and pallet space matter. If you have one product and different kinds of buyers, you don't have to choose: the shared design lets you run one label in two formats, and both jerry cans ship in the same truck.


Detailed specs are on the 5 L jerry can and 10 L jerry can pages. If you are still deciding whether you need a jerry can at all, read our article bucket or jerry can.
Empty jerry cans do not nest, so truck space is calculated by the pallet: 180 pcs of 5 L or 100 pcs of 10 L. You can mix both sizes in one shipment and add buckets. Pickup is from the factory warehouse in the Bishkek FEZ, Ak-Chiy village. In Bishkek and the Chuy Region we deliver with our own trucks. To Osh, Jalal-Abad, Karakol, Naryn, and Talas, jerry cans go through a freight carrier. To Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Karaganda, and other cities in Kazakhstan, they ship by the pallet within the EAEU. Our sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order. If you need packaging for a season, such as summer water bottling, the spring car wash rush, or harvest time, order early: empty jerry cans ship by volume, so we plan truck space for them separately.

In size and weight: 240 × 163 mm versus 296 × 201 mm in height and width, and an empty weight of 240 g versus 420 g. The cap, handle, and front panel are the same design.
On packaging per liter, the 10 L wins: 42 g versus 48 g, and each pallet carries 100 L more product. But if customers carry the jerry can themselves, the 5 L sells better, and the packaging savings stop mattering.
180 and 100 pcs. In terms of product, that is 900 and 1,000 liters, so the pallets are almost equal in filled volume. Buckets of similar capacity nest inside each other and pack on a pallet far more densely.
About 10.4 kg with water: 10 kg of water plus 420 g of packaging. A 5 L jerry can with water weighs about 5.2 kg. With oil, both will be slightly lighter; with household cleaning concentrates, slightly heavier.

Yes, with a label on the flat front panel. The 10 L body is taller and wider, so its label panel is larger. The label format is agreed when you place the order.
Yes, by the pallet within the EAEU: to Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Karaganda, and other cities. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place your order.
Tell us the product, who buys it, and how the jerry can will be carried and stored. Our sales manager will recommend a size, and if you're unsure, you can order a trial batch of both jerry cans and test them on your own filling line.
