Frequently asked questions
Which fibre drum is best for pharmaceuticals?
It depends on the product, but many pharmaceuticals customers choose drums with secure closures and suitable inner liners. We recommend a specification after understanding your fill weight, sensitivity to moisture or contamination and transport route, then provide samples for approval before bulk orders.
Can fibre drums for pharmaceuticals be customised?
Yes. Diameter, height, capacity, wall strength, closures, liners and printing are all made to order. Share what you are packing, the fill weight and how the product will be stored and shipped, and our team will recommend a practical, cost-effective specification for your requirement.
Do you provide samples before bulk orders?
Yes. We supply samples so you can test fit, filling, sealing and handling in your own facility before placing a bulk order. Once you approve the sample, production follows the same specification, giving you consistent quality across every repeat order and dispatch.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum quantity depends on size, construction and level of customisation. Standard specifications can usually be supplied in smaller quantities than fully printed or special-size orders. Send your requirement through the quote form and we will advise the most economical quantity for your business.

Most enquiries receive a reply within one working day. To speed things up, include your product, fill weight per drum, preferred closure, liner needs, monthly quantity and delivery location. You can also call or WhatsApp us on +91 98112 83044 for urgent requirements.
Are fibre drums environmentally friendly?
Fibre drums are made mainly from kraft paper, are recyclable and weigh less than steel or plastic drums, which reduces freight emissions. OM Packaging discontinued HDPE and GI drums to focus on paper and fibre products that protect goods while reducing plastic and metal use.
