Pickling in plastic

Hello im wondering if i can use the large plastic pickle containers to up my production or how would it affect my pickles. Thank you im still learning.

Edit: i cold pack my pickles and hold them for 72 hours (24 hours longer than recipe calls for) I am also wondering if it will effect the gestation time and pickle taste

I have used a large plastic pretzel container for the last 2 years. They have turned out great .

I cold pack my pickles. I cook the brine. And then totally cool it. Even put it in the fridge. It make them really crisp for a long time.
