Why Use Drum Liners and Pail Liners?

Drum liners are an excellent way to protect your products when you store or transport products and goods inside of drums. Drums come in a variety of capacities (the most popular 35, 45, and 55 gallons) and are made from different materials like steel, plastic, or fiber drums. When using drum liners with different materials or goods such as chemicals, paint, and food they keep drums safely from potential contamination. When you finish transferring the materials out of a drum you can simply dispose of the drum liner. This helps preserve the drum and prevents you from having to washing, cleaning, or disinfect the drum. You will dramatically increase the lifespan of your drum if you use drum liners which saves money and reduces environmental waste.

What is the difference between Plastic Drum Liners and large trash bags?

Plastic drum liners and large trash bags are both types of plastic bags, but they are designed for different applications and have some key differences.

 

Plastic drum liners are specifically designed to line the interior of drums, pails, and other containers. They are typically made from heavy-duty plastic material and are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit specific containers. Plastic drum liners are used to protect the interior of the container and its contents from contamination or damage, and they can be easily removed and disposed of after use. They may also have features such as tie closures or custom shapes to fit specific containers.

 

Large trash bags, on the other hand, are designed for general waste disposal and can be used to line trash cans or as stand-alone bags for larger waste items. They are typically made from thinner plastic material than drum liners and are available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses. Large trash bags can be used to collect and dispose of general household or industrial waste, but they are not designed to provide the same level of protection as drum liners.

 

One key difference between plastic drum liners and large trash bags is their intended use. Drum liners are specifically designed to line the interior of containers to protect the contents and facilitate disposal, while large trash bags are designed for general waste collection and disposal. Additionally, drum liners are typically thicker and more durable than large trash bags to provide added protection.

 

Overall, both plastic drum liners and large trash bags are useful plastic bag solutions for different applications. It's important to consider the specific needs of your application when choosing between these two options.
