Find out what plastic bucket lids and power rangers have in common

Boom, pow, bang, schwing! A fight is breaking out. That's right a tussle, those are combat sounds. Yes, even schwing. If a roundhouse kick was audible that’s the sound it would make.

Plastic bucket lids fight daily battles against evil in the form of leaks, messy distribution and tamper evidence issues. With abilities far past standard closures, plastic bucket lids are kind of like power rangers. Each one is different, super charged with a specific talent to make packaging your product easier. Meet the line-up.

The White Ranger “ Dry seal without a gasket
Secret weapon: Solid simplicity
For those instances when a classic fit is all you need. This closure is durable and built to get the job done, minus the fuss of gasket and spout advancements. It’s best used for dry applications. Think of this lid as the old-school power ranger that stays to fight mano y mano, while the rest of the team runs for their transformer-like battleships.

The Red Ranger “ Gamma
Secret weapon: Enduring strong hold
The red ranger is in it for the long haul, capable of applying an air-tight seal over and over again. Take that Emperor Zurg (wait, that doesn't sound right¦)! Intergalactic battle not your thing? When not fighting crime, this lid can be found securing multiple-use food storage supplies from the elements.

The Blue Ranger “ Gasket
Secret weapon: Airtight, headlock seal
The blue ranger is all about protection. Gaskets provide an out-of-this-world seal that is capable of storing the most delicate of liquid contents. Whether the plastic bucket lid is outfitted with a rubber ring or a flow-in gasket, not much can escape its sealing grasp!

The Black Ranger “ Tear-tab
Secret weapon: Wicked bouncing skills
People try to sneak into clubs, and they try to sneak into products, but not when the black ranger is around. Rocking the latest in tamper-evident fashions, the tear-tab is the ultimate secure plastic bucket lid. Monitor your new and used products with a quick glance, thanks to tear-tab technology.

The Yellow Ranger “ Spouted
Secret weapon: Smooth operation
Plastic buckets are bulky and can be hard to pour from, that’s where specialized spouted lids come in. Take the anti-gurgle for instance, this pour spout makes doling out both low and high viscosity product as easy as taking on a novice opponent. Also, distribute without removing the lid during international missions by keeping a UN gasket lid with a non-vented spout on your utility belt.
