Kraft Drums for Bulk Retail Outlets

Bulk sales have gained ground in supermarkets, organic shops and zero-waste stores. This growth is driven by the reduction of plastic packaging and by consumers seeking more responsible, product-focused purchasing options. For this model to work, establishments need containers that guarantee good preservation, are easy to maintain and convey consistency with their environmental philosophy.
“Kraft fibre drums combine strength and sustainable aesthetics that fit naturally into any bulk store.”
Kraft fibre drums have established themselves as one of the most widely used containers for bulk sales. They offer a stable and resistant structure that withstands daily handling, frequent refilling and movement at the point of sale.
As they are recyclable and have a natural finish, they fit in with the sustainable aesthetic sought by many businesses. Furthermore, their customisable design allows them to be integrated into different sections of the shop without altering the visual image of the space.
Advantages of kraft drums for dry food in shops
Kraft drums made from virgin fibre are increasingly used for displaying dry foods due to their ability to keep the product in good condition. The smooth inner surface allows for more controlled handling and reduces the accumulation of residue, which is important in spaces with continuous turnover. The tight-fitting lid protects the contents from air and airborne particles, helping to preserve their properties for longer.
For shop staff, these containers are practical because they can be cleaned quickly and do not require specific products or procedures. This simplifies daily operations and allows a consistent level of hygiene to be maintained without investing additional time.
| In summary: – Provide stability and resistance for continuous use. – Better preserve the product thanks to its tight-fitting lid. – Smooth interior surface for easy cleaning. – Reduce the accumulation of dust and debris. – Suitable for spaces with high food turnover. – Do not require specific maintenance treatments. – Integrate well into commercial environments focused on sustainability. |
How to enhance the customer experience
A well-organised display area influences the shopping experience. Bulk sales work best when the space conveys cleanliness and makes it easy to choose. The neutral finish of kraft paper makes labels stand out better and allows customers to identify each product effortlessly.
In shops seeking a natural or eco-friendly aesthetic, this type of packaging maintains the visual consistency of the space and creates a sense of trust at first glance.
Functionality for everyday work
In many urban shops, space is limited and the product range changes rapidly. The lightweight Kraft drum allows it to be moved around, reorganising the bulk area and adapting it to new products effortlessly. This flexibility is key when there are seasonal products or frequent rotations.
Its stable structure minimises incidents during peak hours and reduces the need to replace containers. In shops with constant restocking, this agility translates into smoother workflows and fewer interruptions for staff.

Sustainability and guarantees for food use
Kraft is a recyclable material that fits in with the plastic reduction strategies adopted by most specialist retailers. For consumers, the use of packaging that is consistent with the bulk philosophy conveys transparency and environmental commitment.
From a technical perspective, domestic manufacturing and material traceability enable the selection of the most suitable interior for dry foods and ensure compliance with industry requirements.
Customisation for chains and specialist shops
Each establishment has its own style and needs packaging that matches its visual identity. At Joaquín Alberto, we manufacture customised series with labels, colours or specific indications that help to standardise criteria across different points of sale.
These elements facilitate restocking, improve shelf visibility and bring consistency to the brand in supermarkets, zero-waste shops and gourmet spaces.
Advice on choosing the right model
Choosing the right container affects hygiene, logistics and the image of the point of sale. The diameter, height, lid and interior finish make a difference to the functionality of the container.
