| Can | Cans are cylindrical containers for packaging, storing, and/or containing goods. | ||
| Carton | Cartons are primary packaging containers made from folding boxboard. They are supplied flat and are usually stackable. | ||
| Cooler | Coolers are insulated containers that are designed to preserve the warmth or coolness of products stored within. | ||
| Drum / Barrel / Keg | Drums, barrels, and kegs are large cylindrical containers for storing or moving liquids. Typically, filling and dispensing is performed through a bung or other smaller opening. | ||
| Envelope | An envelope is a flat container that is closable to hold documents. | ||
| Bulk Box / Gaylord® | Bulk Box containers often known as Gaylord containers are large storage or transportation containers for bulk materials. They are typically sized to match the length and width of a pallet. Gaylord is a registered trademark of Gaylord Brothers, Inc. | ||
| IBC | Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) have a capacity of not more than three cubic meters and are designed for mechanical handling. This category includes flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) such as bulk bags or super sacks. | ||
| ISO / Intermodal | ISO containers are used for the intermodal transport of freight. They are manufactured according to specifications from the International Standards Organization (ISO) and are suitable for multiple transportation methods such as truck and rail, or rail and ship. ISO containers are manufactured in many sizes. The standard width is 8 ft. The most common lengths are 20 and 40 ft. Other lengths include 24, 28, 44, 45, 46, 53 and 56 ft. All ISO containers include a container safety certificate (CSC) issued by the manufacturer that must be renewed every 30 months by a certified inspector. If necessary, an approved continuous examination program (ACEP) can be used in place of this procedure. | ||
| Pouch | Pouches are three-sided bags. They often have a bottom that allows packages to stand for display. | ||
| Tote | Totes are portable, box-type containers for the temporary containment of materials. | ||
| Tray / Cup | Trays or cups are rigid containers for holding products made of paper, plastic, or aluminum. They are used widely used for packaging foodstuff products, marine products, etc. | ||
| Tube | Tubes are cylindrical holding, shipping, or storage devices. | ||
| Vial | Vials are small bottles that are usually made of glass. These containers have a narrow aperture that is closed with a stopper. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary container types. | ||

|
| ||
| Materials | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Acrylic / Plexiglas | Acrylics are formed through the polymerization of acrylic monomers and used in molding and extrusion compounds. Plexiglas acrylic sheets are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, thicknesses, and sizes. | ||
| Aluminum | Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light trivalent metallic element with good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
| Cardboard / Paperboard | Like paper, cardboard is made from wood pulp; however, it is usually thicker. | ||
| Composite / Fiberglass | Composite materials such as fiberglass are strong, durable, and impervious to many caustics and extreme temperatures. Fiberglass fabrics are used widely in industrial applications. | ||
| Fabric / Cloth | This category includes fabrics such as cotton, canvas, and synthetic fabrics. | ||
| Foam / Styrofoam® | Foam is a lightweight material created by introducing gas bubbles into a polymer. The resulting cellular product has good insulating characteristics as well as good impact resistance. Styrofoam® is a registered trademark of Dow Chemical Company. | ||
| Glass | Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates. It is usually transparent or translucent. Glass is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid. | ||
| Metalized Film | Metalized film is a plastic film that has been coated on one side with a very thin layer of metal. | ||
| Paper | Paper is made of cellulose pulp. | ||
| Plastic | Plastics are organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight. Plastics can be made into objects, films, or filaments. | ||
| Steel | Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable under suitable conditions and distinguished from cast iron by both its malleability and lower carbon content. | ||
| Steel - Stainless | Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings. | ||
| Steel - Wire | Materials are made of intertwined wire that forms a container or barrier. | ||
| Wood | Wood is a naturally grown product of trees. | ||
| Specialty / Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary materials. | ||

| Your choices are... | |||
| Air Tight | Products are designed to protect container contents from exposure air and moisture. | ||
| Collapsible | Products can be collapsed or broken down to conserve room. | ||
| Magnetic / EMI / RFI Shielded | Products are shielded against magnetic, electromagnetic (EMI), and radio frequency (RFI) interference. | ||
| ESD Protection | Products provide protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) pulses. | ||
| Fireproof | Fireproof products are designed to protect container contents from exposure to fire. | ||
| Flexible Packaging | Flexible packaging can conform to the size and shape of the packaged item. | ||
| Heavy Duty | Heavy duty products are designed and constructed in a manner that manufacturers classify as heavy duty. | ||
