One system for container specifications, material lots, line planning and test records.
Each filler’s drum, pail and bulk bag specification sits beside the steel coil, HDPE resin and polypropylene fabric lots that fill its orders. Every batch carries its tests. Line booking, leak, drop and lift results, rejects and pallet packing all hang from that one batch record, whichever line made it.
- Container specifications and test types entered as your fillers define them
- Customers, open orders and material stock brought across
- Line and test changes made by GullySystem staff on request
Industrial Packaging Manufacturer Management Software handles orders, specifications, material lots and test records for makers of steel drums, HDPE pails and woven bulk bags. Each batch links its coil, resin or fabric lot to the leak, drop or lift tests run on it. Pallet counts and labels follow each filler’s requirements.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Order and specification
A filler places an order by capacity, gauge, lining, closure and label. The planner confirms the specification against the version saved from the customer’s last order.
- 2
Material check
Coil, resin or woven fabric is checked against stock, and purchasing orders the shortfall. Receipts carry the supplier lot, the certificate and the weighbridge ticket.
- 3
Line booking
The order is placed on the drum line, a blow moulding machine or a loom. Changeover steps such as die swaps and colour purges are scheduled with it.
- 4
Forming and finishing
Bodies are rolled, seam welded, flanged and chimed, or pails are moulded, or bags are woven, cut and sewn. Each run notes the lot it consumed.
- 5
Testing and release
Samples go through leak, drop, stacking or top lift tests. A batch is released only when its results are entered, and a failure holds the whole pallet.
- 6
Pack and deliver
Pallets are counted, banded and labelled per customer. A packing list and invoice go with the load.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Quote & Proposal Management
Quotes are built from material weight, forming time and finish, and a revised price for the next enquiry sits beside the earlier one.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
A batch number ties the container run to its coil, resin or fabric lot, its line and its shift.
- Production Planning
Orders are sequenced on each line to cut size and colour changeovers, and the board shows what runs where this week.
- Quality Control
Test pressure, drop height and lift load are entered against the batch, and a batch without a passing result is held back.
- Goods Receipt (GRN)
Coil, resin and woven fabric are booked on arrival with weight, lot and certificate before they can be issued to a line.
- Fixed Asset Register
Each blow mould, injection mould and die is listed with its run count, repair history and the machine it is fitted to.
- Sales Returns and Credit Notes
A returned pallet is logged against its batch with a reason, so repeated dents or weak welds point to a line or coil.
- Barcodes and Labels
Each filler’s label layout and pallet count are stored, and labels print with the batch number the packing list shows.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
See batches in production, coil and resin cover, tests outstanding, rejects by line and balances by filler. Held batches are listed first.
For planners
Book the drum line, blow moulding machines and looms, and move orders when a changeover or a late coil forces it.
For quality staff
Record test results, set sample sizes and decide whether a batch is released or held. Drop heights and test pressures are entered on a tablet by the line.
For stores and purchasing
Receive coil, resin and fabric, issue it to batches and order before a line runs short of the 0.8 mm gauge or a resin grade.
For dispatch and accounts
Print pallet labels, attach packing lists and raise the invoice for what was delivered.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Batches by line with test status
- Coil, resin and fabric consumed against output
- Rejects by cause, line and shift
- Customer returns traced to batch
- Mould and die runs since last repair
- Pallets dispatched by customer and count
- Filler balances, oldest due first
Who this is built for.
- Makers of steel drums and pails for paint, lubricant and chemical fillers
- Plastic pail and drum moulders that supply industrial customers
- Woven bulk bag manufacturers that sew lifting loops and liners
- Plants that run several container families on separate lines
- Packaging makers asked by fillers to show a test record per batch
When it is not the right choice.
- A workshop that makes a few wooden crates to order may do well with a job book.
- Food pouch and carton converters are better matched by Food Packaging Manufacturer Management Software, and film extruders by Packaging Film Manufacturer Management Software.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can a drum batch be traced to the coil it was made from?
Yes. Each body-making run records the coil lot it drew from. A drum batch opens to the coil lot, the mill certificate on file and the line that rolled and welded it.
Can pails and bulk bags sit beside drums?
Yes. Each family has its own specification fields and its own line queue. Customers, stock and invoices are shared, so a filler who buys all three sees one account.
How are leak and drop tests entered?
A quality technician enters the sample size, the drop height or test pressure and the result on a tablet near the line. A batch without a passing record cannot be marked ready to ship.
Can it hold a different closure for each customer?
Yes. Bung type, ring, gasket, handle and lining are stored in the customer’s specification and printed on the order, so a repeat run starts with the same build.
What happens when a filler returns a damaged pallet?
A return is opened against the batch. The reason is classified, and the report shows whether dents cluster on one line, one shift or one coil lot.
Does it manage the tooling for blow moulded pails?
It keeps a register of blow moulds and dies with their run counts, repairs and the machine they sit on. Maintenance rules come from your tooling room.
Can we start with live orders?
Yes. Open orders, customer specifications and material stock are copied in by planners, who then compare each figure with the shop floor. The first live batch comes after that.
Can we take our data with us?
Your batch, test and customer records come out as files, in a format the quotation spells out. The wording is in the agreement for you to read before signing.
How is pricing worked out?
The figure moves with your headcount on the system and with how many container families and lines it must cover. Sample drum and pail orders are shown on screen first, and the quotation after that states the figure.
