Frequently asked questions about jerry cans
What sizes of jerry cans can I purchase?
At Moens Packaging, you will find jerry cans and water bottles ranging from 0.5 liters to 60 liters. Popular choices are
- Water bottle 0.5 l – 5 l for consumer or retail applications
- Jerrycan 10l – 30l for chemicals and oil
- 60-liter jerry can for bulk storage and export
Thanks to this variety, there is always a suitable solution, whether you want to organize a small batch or large-scale transport.
What is the difference between a stackable jerry can and a non-stackable jerry can?
A stackable jerrycan has reinforced corners and a flat top, so it fits perfectly on top of the next layer. This saves space in your warehouse and during transport. A non-stackable jerrycan is lighter and cheaper, but less suitable for bulk storage or export.
Are there jerry cans suitable for AdBlue?
Yes. We supply AdBlue jerry cans that have been specially developed for urea solutions. These jerry cans prevent contamination and are compatible with AdBlue pumps and tap sets.
What are fluorinated jerry cans and when do I use them?
Fluorinated jerry cans are treated with fluorine gas during production. This creates a barrier that prevents migration and evaporation. They are ideal for solvents, fuels, or other products that can penetrate standard HDPE.
Can I get a jerry can with special caps?
Certainly. You can choose from, among other things:
- Jerrycan child-resistant cap for consumer products
- Jerrycan safety cap for chemical applications
- Jerrycan vent cap to prevent pressure differences
- Jerrycan with IHS cap or induction heated seal cap for pharmaceutical or high-end applications
- Jerry can with tap for ease of use with liquids
Are there sustainable alternatives to traditional jerry cans?

- Post-consumer recycled jerry cans (made from collected household plastic)
- Post-industrial recycled jerry cans (made from production residues)
Both are suitable for industrial applications, but not for food.
What alternatives are there besides jerry cans?
For those who want to save space or are looking for lighter packaging, there are:
- Bag-in-Box: a bag inside a cardboard box, ideal for juices or liquid foods
- Stand-up pouches: flexible packaging that requires less storage space
Both alternatives are popular with the food industry and beverage producers.
What are Coex jerry cans and what do I use them for?
A Coex jerrycan is made up of multiple layers of plastic, often with a barrier layer such as EVOH. This type is particularly suitable for solvents and products that require extra protection against migration or oxidation.
Do you offer antistatic jerry cans or ESD containers?
Yes. For applications in ATEX zones or processes involving powders and solvents, there are antistatic jerry cans or ESD containers. These reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge and increase safety.
How does the delivery of jerry cans work?
As a wholesale supplier of jerry cans, we have large stocks available. Deliveries are made using our own transport or reliable logistics partners. Thanks to our just-in-time approach, you always have the right packaging at your disposal, whether you need small quantities or bulk volumes.
Can I have jerry cans personalized?
Yes. You can choose sleeves, labels, or even customized solutions with unique caps or colors. This strengthens your brand identity and increases the user-friendliness of your packaging.
Are jerry cans UN-approved?
Our HDPE jerry cans are tested according to strict UN standards. They pass drop, stacking, and leak-tightness tests, making them suitable for the safe transport of hazardous substances.

- 10-liter jerry can
- 20-liter jerry can
- 25-liter jerry can
- 30-liter jerry can

These capabilities comply with logistics standards and are widely applicable in food, chemicals, and industry.
How do I choose between a water bottle and a jerry can?
A water bottle is usually smaller (0.5l to 5l) and intended for retail or consumer use. A jerry can is more robust and available in larger volumes up to 60 liters. At Moens, you will find both solutions, tailored to your application.
Can jerry cans be used for hot-filled products?
Yes, some HDPE jerry cans are suitable for hot filling up to a certain temperature range. For higher temperatures, we recommend special Coex jerry cans or heat-resistant alternatives. Feel free to ask us about the options.
Are there jerry cans with special quality marks for export?
In addition to the UN certification, Moens can also supply jerry cans that meet additional export requirements, such as ADR, RID, or IMDG. This ensures that your packaging will be accepted worldwide.
Which color jerry can should I choose?
Color is not just aesthetic. A black jerry can offers UV protection for light-sensitive liquids. A transparent version allows you to visually check the fill level. Blue or white are often the standard in chemistry and food.
Can I combine jerry cans with automatic filling systems?
Yes. Our jerry cans are compatible with most filling machines. Thanks to their stable shape, uniform cap sizes, and options such as vent caps, they are ideal for automated production lines.
Are there jerry cans suitable for pharmaceutical or medical applications?
Certainly. For sensitive products, we offer jerry cans with IHS caps (Induction Heated Seal) or special hygienic closures. These guarantee product integrity and meet high quality standards.
What is the difference between a jerry can and a plastic can?
A plastic can is often a lighter type of packaging, sometimes without stacking options, and particularly suitable for consumer goods. A jerrycan is sturdier, UN-certified, and developed for logistics and industrial applications.
What impact does the wall thickness of a jerry can have?
A thicker wall increases mechanical strength and acts as a barrier against migration. This is particularly important for chemical products or export. A standard wall is sufficient for short-term storage.
Do you also offer ESD buses for the electronics industry?
Yes. For applications involving solvents, powders, or conductive substances, we supply ESD containers and antistatic jerry cans. These reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge in sensitive environments.
How can I save on transport costs with jerry cans?
Opt for stackable jerry cans or alternatives such as Bag-in-Box and stand-up pouches. These types of packaging optimize palletization and significantly reduce cubic transport costs.
