For printed cans, the MOQ is 300,000 units per SKU. However, please note that the manufacturer typically initiates production when the consolidated order reaches 6-7 million units. This is due to the operational efficiency required to switch over to a new print run. Contact us for detailed timelines based on your order quantity.

For blank cans and can ends, the MOQ is flexible and primarily depends on our current inventory status. It can be as low as one pallet. Please contact us to get specific information based on your requirements.

Yes, the names kind of give it away - the main difference lies in the can body diameter and the can ends options.

Standard Cans: Body Dia. 66 mm, fit 202 Can Ends
Sleek Cans: Body Dia. 57 mm, fit 202 Can Ends
Slim Cans: Body Dia. 53 mm, fit 200 Can Ends

The familiar 355 mL / 12 oz standard cans are great for a wide range of drinks. For something that feels more premium, you might consider the smaller 250 mL size. Sleek cans, on the other hand, are taller and often perceived as more elegant or health-conscious. It's all about choosing the style that best fits your beverage and brand identity.

It really depends on your brand's needs and the quantity you're looking for.

Printed cans allow for up to 7 colors, offering high-quality, detailed designs. However, they come with a higher minimum order quantity (MOQ).

Blank cans can be ordered in smaller quantities, even as little as a pallet. There's no one-size-fits-all answer; it's about what aligns best with your brand's vision and requirements.

EPOXY and BPANI are types of internal coatings used inside cans to protect the beverage and preserve its taste.

EPOXY: the traditional choice, is widely recognized for its robust protective qualities and has been a reliable standard in the industry.

BPANI, or BPA-NI (Bisphenol A Non-Intent): a newer alternative that also offers strong protection, with an additional focus on health and environmental considerations.

Both coatings are effective, and the choice between them depends on your beverage type and your brand's specific priorities and standards.

Can varnishes add both protective and aesthetic qualities to your cans.

Matte and gloss finishes affect the can's look and feel, with matte being more subdued and gloss offering a shiny finish.

Retort varnishes are used for cans that undergo high-heat processing, while tactile varnishes add a physical texture to the can's surface, enhancing the consumer's handling experience.

These numbers indicate the diameter of the can end. The most common sizes are 200 (typically used for slim cans) and 202 (common for standard and sleek cans).

LOE (Large Opening End): Designed for easy drinking and pouring. Offers a larger opening than standard can ends, enhancing the consumer experience, particularly for aromatic beverages.

SOE (Standard Opening End): This is the traditional opening size for beverage cans. It's designed for optimal sealing and convenience, maintaining the familiar can opening experience.FA (Full Aperture):

Full Aperture ends allow the entire top of the can to be removed, turning the can into a cup-like container. This design is ideal for products where a wide opening is beneficial, like certain craft beers or ready-to-eat foods.

Embossed or incised markings on can ends comply with local regulations or serve promotional purposes. In Canada, they typically indicate "RECYCLABLE" or "RETURN FOR REFUND". In the United States, these can be in the form of 4-state, 6-state, 10-state, 11-state markings, or other designs, depending on local laws.

SOT (Stay On Tab): This is the most common type of can end in North America, where the opening tab stays attached to the can after opening.

RPT (Ring Pull Tab): This design features a ring that is pulled to open the can. It's more common in certain countries in Asia and Europe.

B64: This is a traditional can end type, known for its compatibility with various filling and sealing machinery. It's widely used due to its reliability and standard design.

CDL (Countersink Double Seam Lid): A more modern and lightweight can end. It features a smaller diameter for material efficiency and is compatible with specific canning lines. CDL is distinguished by its advanced sealing capabilities, making it suitable for beverages requiring extended shelf life.

Aluminum is considered the epitome of recyclability because it can be recycled and reused infinitely without losing quality. This continuous cycle of use and reuse makes it an exceptionally sustainable material.

The recycling process for aluminum cans involves collecting and sorting scrap aluminum, which is then simply melted down to be reused in new products. This process bypasses the energy-intensive stages of mining and refining bauxite ore.
