When it comes to storing and transporting industrial liquids, packaging isn’t just about convenience—it’s about safety, compliance, and protecting your product. That’s why the 5 litre Jerry Can from U-Pack has become a reliable go-to for manufacturers and distributors across South Africa.
Used in industries ranging from chemicals and agriculture to cleaning products and water treatment, this compact container delivers durability, chemical resistance, and practical design in a manageable size.
Built for Harsh Liquids and Demanding Environments
Made from high-density polyethylene, the 5 litre Jerry Can is suitable for a wide variety of liquids—including aggressive or high-specific-gravity chemicals. It’s available in two weight options:
- The 150 gram version is ideal for lighter, less corrosive contents, offering a cost-effective solution that still meets UN certification standards.
- The 180 gram version is better suited for more demanding applications, offering enhanced strength for rough handling, longer transport routes, or more aggressive substances.
Both variants are compatible with hazardous materials and available with UN approval, helping you meet regulatory requirements with ease.
Leak-Resistant Closures for Secure Transport
For many of our clients, especially those handling sensitive or hazardous liquids, a secure closure is non-negotiable. The 5 litre Jerry Can can be fitted with tamper-evident screw caps that help protect the contents during storage and transport. This not only reduces risk, but also helps businesses maintain trust and quality across their supply chain.
Options That Fit Your Operations
U-Pack offers the container in multiple colours, including a natural option that allows for visual monitoring of fill levels—useful during filling and dispensing.
The compact size makes it easy to handle on the production floor and during distribution. With a standard 38 millimetre cap size and a pack size of 30 containers, it fits easily into most workflows and storage systems.
Popular Across Multiple Industries
The 5 litre Jerry Can is a popular choice in several sectors:
- Chemical and industrial manufacturing for safe handling of solvents, acids, and specialty products
- Agricultural use, including pesticides, fertilizers, and liquid supplements
- Cleaning product distribution, from household detergents to industrial-strength cleaners
- Water treatment and purification, especially in decentralized or mobile operations
Clients appreciate the flexibility to choose the right weight and closure combination for their specific product and environment.
Made in South Africa for Consistency and Quality
U-Pack containers are manufactured locally under strict quality controls. That means a reliable supply, quick turnaround times, and peace of mind for procurement and production teams who can’t afford delays or compliance issues.
Our best-selling option is the 150 gram natural colour container—valued for its lightweight build, UN approval, and visual fill clarity. A close second is the 180 gram version, which is often chosen for its added durability in tougher conditions.
If your team needs a container that holds up under pressure, supports compliance, and integrates easily into your supply chain, the U-Pack 5 litre Jerry Can is worth considering.
