IBC Totes vs. Drums: What are the key advantages?

In some industries, the standard 55-gallon round drum is still the preferred method of moving and storing liquids. But why? When you consider the pros and cons, IBC totes have key advantages over their cylinder-shaped counterparts. So many, in fact, we’ve produced a free eGuide to highlight the advantages of IBC totes.

But let’s take a step back and look at this strictly from a financial perspective. Did you know that you can save up to 75% by switching from drums to IBC totes? Here’s how:

• IBC totes have greater storage capacity, so you can store more with fewer containers
• IBCs can be moved freely and without expensive pallets and shrink wrap
• Totes can be used multiple times, while drums are generally single-use-only
• IBC totes eliminate product waste by draining completely, while drums collect residual product 

Of course these are just a few of the advantages; we invite you to get your free copy of our new eGuide to compare the true costs of IBCs vs. Drums.
