Shop food-grade plastic jugs and tight-head containers from 1 to 5 gallons — classic round jugs with twist-off caps for bottling and dispensing, plus rectangular tight-head jugs (Hedpaks) with molded-in handles for bulk liquids. Every container is molded from FDA-compliant, BPA-free HDPE, with caps and spigots available to complete your setup.
Food-Grade Plastic Jugs for Liquids & Bulk Dispensing
FDA-compliant HDPE. Round jugs and rectangular tight heads. Caps and spigots available. No minimum order.
Round Jugs vs. Rectangular Tight Heads: Which Do You Need?
Round jugs are the classic milk-jug style with a molded handle and twist-off cap. Choose round jugs for retail-ready filling — juices, ciders, syrups, cleaning solutions — anywhere you need an economical one-hand pour in smaller volumes.
Rectangular tight-head jugs (Hedpaks) pack more liquid into less space — their square footprint means no wasted room on shelves, pallets, or refrigerated storage. With molded-in top handles, large 63–70 mm openings, and optional spigots, they're built for bulk liquids you'll store, transport, and dispense — and the 5 gallon UN-rated version is approved for regulated liquids.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plastic Jugs
Are your plastic jugs food grade?
Yes. All jugs and tight-head containers are molded from FDA-compliant, BPA-free HDPE resin. As with any new container, rinse before first food-contact use.
Do the jugs come with caps?
The 1 gallon round jugs ship with polypropylene twist-off caps included, and the 5 gallon Hedpak includes a 70 mm cap with anchor plug. Caps for the 2.5 and 5 gallon tight heads are sold separately in this collection.
What does the UN rating on the tight heads mean?
The 5 gallon rectangular tight head carries a 3H1/Y1.8/150 rating — approved for shipping Packing Group II and III regulated liquids under DOT requirements. The rating is molded into the container.
Can I add a spigot for dispensing?
Yes — our red snap-in spigot fits the Hedpak and tight-head containers, turning them into gravity-fed dispensing stations for oils, sanitizers, and beverages.
Are these jugs reusable?
HDPE containers are durable and washable for repeated non-regulated use. For UN-rated shipping, follow DOT guidance on container reuse.
How do jugs ship?
Jugs ship via standard parcel carriers — no freight required. Case-packed 1 gallon jugs and individual tight heads are boxed and typically leave our warehouse within one business day.
