A good portion of the plaster market has been looking for lower cost packaging alternatives, especially to meet the lower income market needs.
In Brasilata’s efforts to reduce costs a number of alternative packagings have been introduced, with special focus on the cardboard barrel.
Brasilata after observing this property, decided to develop a steel barrel and after two years of exhaustive research and testing came up with a new container that was called Lean Pail which was recently introduced during a Brazilian construction fair, Construsul 2011.
To achieve a competitive container the thickness was dramatically reduced. While the normal steel pail uses tinplate .34 mm thick, the Lean Pail is made using .22mm, enabling a fantastic reduction of 35% in the weight of the container. Owed to this reduction, the Lean Pail container is competitively priced.
