Product Description
The 12L Foldable Silicone Bucket is a collapsible water container designed to replace rigid plastic buckets that waste storage space. The silicone body compresses flat — from 20cm depth to a thin disc — while the PP frame and reinforced handles maintain their shape for easy carrying. When opened, the bucket holds a full 12 liters of water without leaking.
The product comes in two structural formats visible in product images: a rectangular basket style with two arch handles (suited for picnic carrying and shopping), and a square single-handle bucket style (suited for mopping, car washing, and water transport). Both share the same core dimensions, material construction, and collapsible mechanism.
A hanging hole on the side allows flat storage on a hook or wall bracket when not in use — eliminating the floor space that a conventional rigid bucket occupies. The material is odorless, non-toxic, and built to handle repeated use in wet environments.

At 12 liters, the bucket holds enough water for car washing, mopping a room, soaking laundry, or carrying beverages and ice to a picnic. The rigid PP top rim keeps the opening stable and prevents the silicone walls from deforming under the weight of water.
The silicone body collapses completely flat when the bucket is empty. This makes it practical to store under a seat, in a car boot, in a camping bag, or flat against a wall. Multiple buckets can be stacked without occupying meaningful space.
The double arch handles are made from PP with a thickened cross-section and a soft grey grip at the top. The handle design distributes load evenly across both sides, allowing users to carry a full 12L load comfortably. The handles fold down when the bucket is collapsed for flat storage.
A hanging hole on the side frame allows the collapsed bucket to hang on a hook, pegboard, or garage wall bracket when not in use. This is a practical feature for cleaning supply storage, camping gear rooms, and vehicle trunks.
The TPE/silicone body is odorless and free of harmful plasticizers. Unlike low-cost PVC buckets that develop cracks and off-gas chemicals over time, the silicone body is designed for long-term repeated use in wet environments. The material does not corrode, stain, or degrade in outdoor conditions.
The same bucket serves across contexts that would normally require separate equipment: household mopping, car washing, outdoor camping water source, fishing bait bucket, picnic basket, fruit and vegetable washing, and storage container.

Q1: Is this bucket truly waterproof — will it hold water without leaking?
Yes. The silicone body is waterproof and the PP rim forms a sealed connection with the silicone walls. The bucket holds a full 12 liters of water without leaking under normal use conditions. It is designed for water-carrying tasks including mopping, car washing, and camping water transport.
Q2: What is the material — is it food-safe?
The bucket body is made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which is the same material class as food-grade silicone — flexible, odorless, and free of harmful plasticizers. The PP frame is standard food-contact-grade polypropylene. The product is not marketed as a food storage container, but the materials are safe for incidental food contact (e.g., washing vegetables, carrying beverages in ice).
Q3: How flat does it fold?
When the silicone body is fully compressed, the bucket collapses to a flat disc profile with only the PP rim and handle as the remaining structure. The fold depth is determined by the PP rim height, not the silicone body. This allows multiple buckets to stack flat in a storage bag, car boot, or drawer.
Q4: Can the handle hold the weight of a full 12L bucket?
Yes. The double arch handle is manufactured from thickened PP tubing with a reinforced connection to the PP rim. Tested to carry full 12L water loads (approximately 12kg). The soft-grip top reduces hand pressure during carrying.
Q5: What colors are available, and can I order custom colors?
Standard in-stock colors are Blue and Grey. Mitour supports custom Pantone color matching for both the silicone body and PP frame on OEM orders. Custom color orders require 10–18 days production lead time.
Q6: Can I print my logo on the bucket?
Yes. Logo application options include screen printing on the silicone body and embossing on the PP rim. For high-volume branded programs, we can also produce custom-molded rim panels with integrated logo debossing.
Q7: Is this product suitable for hot water?
The TPE/silicone body is heat-resistant. Standard use with warm or hot water (e.g., mopping with hot water) is supported. We do not recommend filling with boiling water at 100°C under sustained pressure, as this exceeds intended use parameters.
Q8: What is the hanging hole for?
A small hole is integrated into the side of the PP rim frame. When the bucket is collapsed flat, it can be hung on a hook, pegboard peg, or wall bracket via this hole — keeping it off the floor and saving storage space in garages, cleaning closets, and vehicle trunks.
Q9: What is the minimum order quantity for OEM orders?
MOQ depends on customization level and packaging requirements. Contact our sales team with your target quantity, color preferences, and logo artwork for a detailed quote and sample timeline.
Q10: Can Mitour supply both the rectangular basket style and the square bucket style?
Yes. Both structural variants (rectangular double-handle basket style and square single-handle bucket style) are available. They share the same capacity and material specification. Buyers can request samples of both styles to select the right format for their target market and use case.
