About drums & barrels
Heavier-gauge drums rolled, welded, beaded and double-seamed for stacking, rough handling and long-distance transport. Each pack is made from Avighna's own tinplate or tin-free steel, cut and lacquered on our lines and offset-printed in 2 or 4 colours on sheets up to 1200 mm. You choose a bright golden, plain silver or fully printed finish, the inner coating that suits your product, and the closure your filling line runs. Formats include tight-head drums, open-top drums, narrow-mouth barrels, conical drums. Every container is steel only — hygienic, non-reactive, strong in transit and infinitely recyclable — with seam and leak checks on each lot before despatch.
