Product Description
The Collapsible Silicone Bucket is a round foldable water container with a PP frame (top rim, handle, bottom disc) and a flexible TPE/silicone accordion body that compresses completely flat when empty. Unlike rigid plastic buckets that occupy the same space whether in use or stored, this bucket takes up near-zero space when folded — making it the standard choice for camping kits, fishing gear bags, car boot emergency supplies, and travel packs.
Three capacity options — 3L, 5L, and 10L — cover the full range of buyer needs, from a compact personal wash basin to a full car-washing pail. The product is circular in shape, which is structurally more efficient for holding liquid under pressure than rectangular collapsible basins, and the round form integrates a gripping groove on the bottom so users can pour water with one hand without the bucket slipping.
The handle folds flat against the rim during collapse. A small hanging hole on the rim allows the collapsed bucket to be stored on a wall hook, peg board, or gear hook — keeping it accessible and off the floor.

The 3L size suits personal outdoor use (hand washing, food prep, fishing bait). The 5L covers household cleaning and car detailing rinse work. The 10L handles full car washing, floor mopping, and high-volume outdoor water tasks. Buyers sourcing for retail or promotional programs can stock across sizes from a single supplier.
The accordion silicone body folds inward, and the PP bottom disc also folds flat — so the entire bucket compresses to a thin profile with only the rim and handle remaining. This is a key differentiator versus collapsible buckets where only the body folds but the rigid bottom takes up space.
A recessed groove on the underside of the PP bottom disc allows users to grip the base securely when tilting the bucket to pour. This prevents slipping during single-hand pouring — practical when decanting water from a full 5L or 10L bucket in an outdoor setting.
A hanging hole integrated into the rim allows the folded bucket to hang on any standard hook, nail, or pegboard peg. This is valued in garages, cleaning closets, caravans, and boats where floor space is limited.
The hook hole also allows the collapsed bucket to be clipped to a backpack, tent loop, or tackle box handle using a carabiner — keeping it accessible without taking up internal pack space.
The material combination uses food-contact-grade PP for rigid structural components and flexible TPE for the accordion body. Both materials are odorless, non-toxic, and resistant to cracking under repeated fold cycles. No PVC, no phthalate plasticizers.

Q1: What sizes are available, and how do I choose the right capacity?
Three sizes are available: 3L (lightweight, personal outdoor use), 5L (household cleaning, car detailing rinse), and 10L (full car washing, mopping, high-volume outdoor tasks). Buyers sourcing for retail should consider stocking multiple sizes, as different end-users have different capacity needs. All three sizes share the same design, material, and folding mechanism.
Q2: Does the bottom also fold, or only the body?
Both the body and the bottom fold. The accordion TPE body collapses inward, and the PP bottom disc also folds flat as part of the collapsed profile. This means the entire bucket — not just the walls — compresses to a thin disc for storage.
Q3: What is the material — is it food-safe?
The bucket is made from PP (polypropylene) and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer / soft rubber). Both materials are food-contact grade, odorless, and free of phthalates, BPA, and PVC. The product is suitable for washing produce, carrying drinking water, and general food-adjacent outdoor use.
Q4: Is the bucket waterproof — will it hold water without leaking?
Yes. The TPE accordion body is fully waterproof, and the joints between the TPE body and PP rim / bottom are sealed in the molding process. The bucket holds water at full capacity without leaking under normal use conditions.
Q5: What does the bottom groove do?
A recessed hand-grip groove is molded into the underside of the PP bottom disc. When tilting the bucket to pour water, you grip the base with your fingers in this groove — preventing the bucket from slipping and allowing controlled single-hand pouring even when the bucket is partially full.
Q6: Can the collapsed bucket be hung on a wall or hook?
Yes. A small hole is integrated into the PP rim frame. When the bucket is collapsed flat, it can be hung on any standard hook, nail, pegboard peg, or carabiner. This is designed for garages, laundry rooms, caravans, and camping gear storage where floor space is at a premium.
Q7: What colors are available for OEM orders?
Standard stock colors are Blue, Pink, Orange, and Green. Custom Pantone color matching is supported for OEM orders covering both the TPE body and the PP frame. Custom colors require 10–18 days production lead time.
Q8: Can I order a mixed-size set (e.g., 3L + 5L + 10L) with custom packaging?
Yes. Mitour can produce multi-size gift sets with custom retail packaging. This format suits outdoor gear brands and promotional programs targeting camping or travel audiences who need a full range of bucket sizes.
Q9: Can I put my logo on the bucket?
Yes. Logo options include screen printing on the silicone body and embossing on the PP rim or bottom. For high-volume programs, we can also develop custom-molded PP components with integrated logo debossing at no additional per-unit cost above tooling.
Q10: What is the minimum order quantity for OEM orders?
MOQ varies by size, customization level, and packaging format. Please contact our sales team with your target size(s), quantity, color preferences, and logo artwork for a detailed quotation and sample timeline.
