BPA-Free Food-Grade Gasketed Tear-Strip Lid for 3.5, 5, & 7 Gallon Buckets - 1 Count
Frequently Bought Together
NOTE - Gasketed lids may be difficult to install by hand as they require significant pressure to fully seal. We recommend using a rubber mallet to ensure a proper installation for the tightest seal.
TAMPER-EVIDENT, FOOD-SAFE BUCKET LID
Upgrade your bulk storage with this BPA-free, food-grade tear-strip lid engineered to fit standard 3.5-, 5-, and 7-gallon round buckets. Molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the lid withstands commercial handling while remaining safe for direct contact with food, dry goods, and brewing ingredients.
A built-in tear strip delivers instant tamper evidence and hassle-free opening, while the optional factory-installed gasket creates an airtight, leak-resistant seal that locks in freshness and helps prevent spills during transport or stacking. Reinforcing ribs and a recessed profile add extra strength and allow nested storage when the lids are not in use.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Will this tear-strip lid fit standard 3.5, 5, and 7 gallon buckets?
Yes, this 11.8-inch diameter lid is engineered to snap securely onto most 3.5, 5, and 7 gallon round pails on the market.
Is this lid food-safe and BPA-free for direct food contact?
Absolutely. The lid is molded from FDA-compliant, BPA-free high-density polyethylene (HDPE), making it safe for contact with food products, ingredients, and potable water.
Does the gasket provide an airtight, leak-resistant seal?
Yes. A factory-installed elastomer gasket compresses against the bucket rim to create a tight seal that helps keep out moisture, dust, and contaminants, greatly reducing the risk of leaks or spoilage.
How does the tamper-evident tear strip work?
When you first apply the lid, an attached tear band locks under the bucket lip. To open the pail for the first time, the user must peel away this band, leaving visible evidence that the container has been accessed.
Can the lid be reused after the tear strip is removed?
Yes. Once the tear band has been removed, the lid can still be pressed on and pried off repeatedly. The gasket remains intact, allowing ongoing use for storage, transport, or dispensing.
What material is the lid made from, and is it recyclable?
It is injection-molded from #2 HDPE (high-density polyethylene). This resin is widely accepted in municipal recycling programs, supporting circular-economy initiatives.
Does the recessed top allow safe stacking of filled buckets?
Indeed. The lid’s recessed profile and reinforcing ribs let the base of an identical bucket nest inside, improving vertical stability for warehouse or pallet stacking.
How many lids are included per order, and do they nest for compact storage?
Each listing is for one (1) lid. Thanks to the tapered design, multiple lids can nest inside one another, minimizing shelf space when you purchase several units.
