Chemical Cans & Pails

Metal chemical cans come in several common styles: F-style (oblong), cone-top, pour-top, paint cans, and steel pails. Evergreen offers all these styles in a wide range of capacities and openings to match your product and compliance needs. All Evergreen can facilities are ISO9001 certified. UN-certified specifications are available.

We can provide 4–8 color printing in glossy, matte, or film-coated finishes, as well as embossing and debossing for added texture and brand impact. Check out our Product Gallery on this page to see examples of how leading brands have customized their cans for both visual appeal and functional performance.

A UN rating is an international standard that certifies a container has been tested and approved for safely transporting hazardous materials. UN-rated chemical cans meet strict performance criteria for factors like leak prevention, drop resistance, and chemical compatibility, ensuring they comply with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and international shipping regulations. Evergreen offers a full range of UN-rated metal cans so your products can be shipped and stored with confidence while meeting all applicable safety requirements.

Evergreen offers a wide range of closures to match your product and dispensing needs:

• Pull-out spout closures – Integrated pull-out spout for precise dispensing control; available in diameters from 35 mm to 63 mm.
• Press-fit closures – Pressed onto the can opening to create a secure, leak-proof seal; available in diameters from 24 mm to 100 mm.
• CT closures (screw caps) – The most common closure style, available in a variety of thread types for easy opening and resealing; available in diameters from 28 mm to 70 mm.
• Specialty closures – Designed for unique applications or to fit the openings of specific container types.

All closures are engineered for reliable sealing, chemical compatibility, and ease of use.

F-Style (or oblong) cans are rectangular metal containers with a narrow pour opening, making them a go-to choice for packaging liquids such as solvents, adhesives, fuels, and other chemicals that benefit from controlled pouring. Their shape maximizes storage efficiency compared to round cans, and most feature an integrated handle for easier carrying and dispensing. Made from 100% recyclable tinplate, Evergreen’s F-Style cans are available in half-pint, pint, quart, half-gallon, gallon, and custom sizes.

Cone-top cans feature a tapered top with a screw or crimped cap, designed for smooth, controlled pouring of products like chemicals, lubricants, and paints. Pour-top cans offer similar functionality with a straight-neck spout for even more precise dispensing and easy resealing. Both styles are made from 100% recyclable tinplate, and Evergreen offers them in half-pint, pint, quart, half-gallon, gallon, and custom sizes to match your product and handling needs.

Metal paint cans are the industry standard for packaging paints, coatings, adhesives, and other viscous liquids that require a secure, resealable closure. Made from tinplate or steel, they use a friction-fit lid to create a tight seal that prevents leaks and protects product quality. Available in both lined and unlined options to suit different formulations, Evergreen’s paint cans come in half-pint, pint, quart, half-gallon, gallon, and custom sizes, and are fully recyclable.

Steel pails are built for heavy-duty applications, providing safe storage and transport for large-format agricultural chemicals, corrosive materials, petroleum products, and solvents. Evergreen offers steel pails from 2 to 7 gallons, including UN-rated options in 2 to 5 gallons for hazardous materials. Multiple closure styles are available for easy filling and controlled pouring, and all Evergreen steel pails are made from 100% recyclable steel.
