Whether you're shipping to the USA, Australia, or New Zealand, choosing the correct bulk packaging format is crucial. Cavin Resource offers a range of packaging options tailored to product safety, read more shipping regulations, and cost-efficiency. Let’s explore the operational advantages of Flexitanks, IBCs, and Drums in global export.



Understanding Your Bulk Packaging Options



  • Flexitanks: Best for non-hazardous liquid chemicals and edible oils. High volume (up to 24,000L) per 20ft container.

  • Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs): Versatile, stackable, and suitable for alcohols, chemicals, and food-grade materials.

  • Drums (Steel or HDPE): Ideal for smaller volume control, reusable, and widely accepted in regulatory frameworks.
