We offer customized service — even when it comes to packaging our products. Whether you want your chemicals delivered in small/very small containers or in a tanker truck, we have the perfect packaging to meet your needs.
And we believe in safety and sustainability when it comes to our packaging, too. All of our packaging is tested at the required intervals to ensure that it is suitable for use.
Our membership in the Pfandgeld-Gemeinschaft (Deposit Association) of the VCH (German Chemical Distribution Association) allows us to deliver your chemicals in reusable packaging. In this way, we not only protect the environment; we also provide greater safety for your employees and ours. Additionally, we make sure that empty containers and any residual chemicals are safely transported back to our facilities, where they are reused or disposed of in accordance with applicable laws. More information on the VCH Pfandgeld-Gemeinschaft is available here (available in German only).
In the following, you will find a list of the available packaging sizes and materials. Or feel free to contact us directly with specific questions — we’re happy to help!
New deposit rates from 01.01.2023
The Pfandgeld-Gemeinschaft (Deposit Association) of Verband Chemiehandel (German Chemical Distribution Association) has existed for almost 30 years. During this time, both the containers themselves, the safety requirements for these, but ultimately also the procurement prices have developed. For this reason, these deposits are now being adjusted for the first time.
The new deposit rates as from 01.01.2023 can be found in the information for Customers No. 11 on the Pfandgeld-Gemeinschaft as well as our customer letter.
New regulations from the German Packaging Act (VerpackG)
Important information for our contract manufacturing customers
An amendment to the Packaging Act obliges manufacturers from 1st July 2022 to register with the Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR) before placing packaging on the market that is subject to system participation (Section 9 (1) of the Packaging Act).
Contract manufacturers are deemed to be distributors within the meaning of the VerpackG. Customers on whose behalf we carry out contract manufacturing/contract filling and provide the finished products with customer labels must therefore confirm to us in accordance with Section 9 (5) that registration with the ZSVR has taken place and that the obligation to register has been properly fulfilled.

Find your ideal packaging unit
“Ideal packaging unit” is a rather broad term, since it depends on multiple factors both on the customers’ and on the suppliers’ end. From the logistical standpoint, pallet utilization plays an important role in maximizing shipping space when delivering goods. The following information serves as an example and will vary from product to product. Please contact us, so we can advise you concerning your specific order.
