Custom cans
Description
>200µm (micron) rigid recycled aluminum, chemically treated inside with a plastic coating to protect both the can from the beverage and the beverage from the can.
Lightweight (less expensive to ship), aluminum offers an unmatched combination of high strength and corrosion resistance. Unsurpassed in shaping and decorating possibilities. Efficient for recycling. Comes and various alloy grades - see sellers. For acidic foods, like tomatoes, use tin instead.
Used for:
Food cans, aerosols, fixed ends for processed food cans, drawn re-drawn cans, beverage and spray cans
Perfect when your product needs the ability to be moderately bent or shaped in the manufacturing process. Safe for foodstuffs and beverages. Tin coating (tinplate) makes a beautiful metallic luster and offers excellent corrosion resistance. Less expensive, easier to solder to than stainless steel.
A new kind of laminated steel, it offers a contemporary look and ideal for containers for aerosols, as well as liquid and viscous products. Our state-of-the-art steel can works with a variety of product applications.
The most common alternative to tinplate for food contact applications. Lower brightness than tinplate. Both sides are laminated with PET or PP finish to prevent oxidation. Sulphur staining of the steel by foodstuffs (can not be custom (unlike tinplate). The mechanical properties match tinplates
