A tote is a common industrial packaging size that resembles a large box.  Totes come in a variety of sizes including 264, 275 and 330 gallon.  They also can be made from a variety of materials; the common types are a hard plastic with an aluminum frame, recyclable Bag-in-Box, and a collapsable plastic tote with an inner bag.  These totes have a spigot at the bottom used to get the oil out, and may also have a bung hole on the top.
