When you’re handling chemicals, cleaning products or food ingredients, you need packaging that can take a bit of rough treatment. Our 5L Jerry Cans are made for exactly that – tough, reliable and ready for work.
NZ-Made Quality You Can Count On
Manufactured right here in New Zealand at Forward Plastics, our 5L HDPE Jerry Cans are designed to meet the highest standards for performance and compliance. Each can is produced using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin, giving exceptional impact strength, chemical resistance and long-term durability.
We know that when your product is on the line, you can’t afford leaks, cracks or dodgy threads. Every container is quality-checked before it leaves the factory to make sure it’s fit for purpose – whether you’re filling detergents, food ingredients, agricultural products, or anything in between.
UN-Rated and Food Safe
Our 5L Jerry Can is UN-rated for dangerous goods (DG) transport and meets food-contact safety standards, giving you flexibility across a wide range of industries. Whether you’re moving corrosive chemicals or bottling edible oils, one container can do it all.
Choose from DG-rated or non-DG versions depending on your requirements.
Practical Design for Everyday Use
We’ve kept the design simple and smart – strong handle, wide base for stability, and a smooth finish that looks professional on the line or on the shelf. Our customers say our 5L Jerry Can is the best in the industry.
Available in white or natural, with matching 38mm tamper-evident caps or 38mm CRC closures (custom closures on request). The 5L size is ideal for concentrated liquids, refill packs, or export shipments where space efficiency matters.
Bulk Supply and Custom Options
Forward Plastics supplies bulk quantities directly to manufacturers, contract packers and distributors throughout New Zealand. We keep standard 5L Jerry Cans in stock for fast turnaround, and can run custom orders for colour, resin type or labelling requirements.
