Request a quoteChemical Packaging – Built for what’s inside. Whatever that is.
Packaging for chemical manufacturers, specialty formulators, process suppliers, and industrial distributors, from UN-rated drums and IBCs to pails, cans, and totes. Compatible with the chemistry, compliant with the regulation, and stocked across four warehouses.
Right Container, Right Job
Compatible with chemistry. Compliant with regulation.
Chemical packaging is where the wrong spec becomes a serious problem. The container has to be chemically compatible with the formulation, rated for transport if the product is regulated, and capable of holding up through whatever conditions it faces between fill and end use.
ILLING serves chemical manufacturers, specialty formulators, process chemical suppliers, and industrial distributors with packaging that has been specified correctly, not just ordered from a catalog. We know the questions to ask before the container is chosen, not after the order ships.

BrowseUN / DOT Compliance
The container must be right before it’s an option.
For regulated chemical products, UN/DOT compliance isn’t a checkbox, it’s a prerequisite. ILLING stocks UN-rated containers across drums, pails, and cans, and provides closing instructions per DOT requirements. We know which containers carry which ratings, and we confirm compatibility before the order is placed, not after a shipment is rejected. Customers are responsible for managing annual UN closing instructions for DOT requirements; we make sure you have everything you need to do that.

From bulk process liquids to retail-ready cleaning chemicals, ILLING supports the full range of chemical packaging programs, industrial and consumer alike.
Industrial Chemical Manufacturers
Bulk drums, IBCs, and intermediate containers for process chemicals, industrial solvents, and specialty formulations from production through distribution.
Specialty Chemical Formulators
Pails, cans, and custom containers for specialty chemical formulations where compatibility, closure integrity, and regulatory compliance all must be confirmed before production begins.
Chemical Distributors
Stocking agreements, multi-SKU inventory programs, and warehousing support for chemical distributors managing seasonal demand and diverse product lines.
Hazardous Materials Shippers
UN-rated steel and plastic drums, pails, and cans with the correct ratings for DOT-regulated products, and the closing instructions to go with them.
Pool & Water Treatment Chemicals
Pails, jugs, and bulk containers for pool chemicals, water treatment products, and sanitation compounds, with chemical-resistant materials specified for the formulation.
Cleaning & Janitorial Chemicals
Bottles, pails, and drums for institutional and commercial cleaning chemicals, from bulk supply through retail-ready decorated containers for branded product lines.
Decoration
From compliant container. To branded product.
Once the container is right for the chemistry, ILLING can make it right for the brand. The same facility that stocks and specs your drum or pail can decorate it, turning a compliant industrial container into a shelf-ready or channel-ready branded product.
From industrial drum. To branded product.
