Drinks packaging

The numerous advantages of the steel beverage can, a real commodity value:

• Many opportunities for brand differentiation through the available printing, embossing and forming techniques
• Steel cans are lightweight but strong, durable and unbreakable, even during harsh transport conditions. This is a major asset for exports
• Steel’s inherent strength means fewer dented empty cans before filling and fewer dented cans on the shelf. The result is less spoilage and a better brand image
• The steel can’s unique barrier properties protect drinks from light, water and air, safeguard product integrity and meet highest food safety standards
• Aseptic filling solutions are offered by can makers for products such as dairy-based drinks
• Steel is also a natural winner with regard to sustainability: it is 100% recyclable and the most recycled packaging material
