PACKAGING GLOSSARY

Every option, explained

Sizes, valves, colour systems and print can start to blur together. Here's what each one means, so you always know exactly what you're choosing for your plastic drum.

drum size

1kg

Our smallest drum, for samples, retail refills and smaller batches.

3kg

A mid-size drum for bulk refills and trade customers.

5kg

Our most popular size, a go-to for bulk coffee, protein and pet food.

10kg

Our largest drum, for wholesale and catering quantities.

lid valve

One-way valve

A valve in the lid lets freshly roasted coffee release gas without letting air back in, so it stays fresher for longer.

No valve

A plain sealed lid, for products that don't give off gas: powders, pet food, dry goods and more.

drum colour

CMYK

Give us your colour as four percentages (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) and we'll match the drum and lid to it.

Pantone

Give us a Pantone (PMS) reference, such as 186 C, and we'll match the drum and lid to it.

printing

Unprinted

A plain drum in your chosen colour, with no print.

1 to 4 colours

Your logo or design printed in up to four solid colours, anywhere on the drum body.
