Triplex Steel Pail

The Triplex steel pail is better than the traditional steel pail because of four key improvements. The top and bottom seams are triple seams, instead of double seams. The curl on a spin-head pail has been strengthened by adding more steel (known as a compound curl). Also, the body of the Triplex pail is straighter than a traditional pail which allows for more labeling. The improved weld seam eliminates sharp burrs.
