Gasketed Tear-Strip Lid 3.5, 5 and 7 Gal Buckets

This BPA-free, food-grade gasketed tear-strip lid is engineered to provide tamper-evident security and airtight sealing for 3.5-, 5-, and 7-gallon round buckets. Molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it delivers commercial-grade protection for food storage, brewing, emergency preparedness, and industrial applications.

The integrated tear strip provides instant tamper evidence while the optional gasket creates a leak-resistant seal that locks in freshness and prevents spills during transport. Reinforcing ribs and a recessed profile add extra strength and allow nested storage when not in use.

Whether you're packaging ingredients for commercial kitchens, safeguarding home-brewed beverages, or shipping industrial compounds, this gasketed lid offers the security, durability, and reusability demanded by professional operations.

Contact Us

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.
