Packaging manufacturers distinguish between two and three-piece packs. A two-piece pack has a base and a body made from one piece of steel, plus a lid, whereas a three-piece pack has a lid, a base and a body. Two-piecefood pack
The two-piece food pack is a stackable format that is easy to handle and store. It is easy to open and use a two-piece pack, with the handy ‘easy-open-end’ doing away with the need for a can opener. Three-piece food pack
The three-piece format comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, offering brands the advantage of unique shapes that stand out on the shelf. The bodies are welded to withstand the high temperatures of the sterilisation process. Three-piece pack for dry food products
The three-piece pack is resealable and offers a moisture-safe storage environment for multiple-use products. The bodies are seamed. Dry food products do not go through a sterilisation process, so a wide range of closure systems is available, including steel lids with hinges and plastic pop-on lids. Aerosols
Only steel is strong enough to protect product contents and withstand the pressure required for reliable dispensing, perfectly every time. Two-piece aerosols offer competitive opportunities, whilst three-piece packs make available a wide range shaping opportunities. Steel closures for glass
Steel closures for glass are designed to hermetically seal products into glass packs, offering recloseability. They are available in a range of sizes and have great print potential. Crown corks are used to seal carbonated drinks in glass. Beverage packs
The steel can is the ultimate two-piece format for drinks. It is strong, safe and cost efficient, and is suitable for a vast range of beverage types. |
