Explore our core wholesale product portfolio engineered for precision filling lines, extended shelf-life retention, and global compliance.
As global consumption shifts rapidly toward sustainable, infinitely recyclable beverage containers, the standard 355ml (12oz) aluminum can remains the undisputed king of North American, European, and Asian beverage logistics. Positioned as a premier Tier-1 OEM/ODM manufacturer in China, our state-of-the-art facilities produce high-precision drawn and ironed (DWI) aluminum cans engineered to meet stringent filling speeds, rigorous internal pressure thresholds, and superior barrier protection requirements.
Manufactured using ultra-pure 3104-H19 virgin aluminum coils, guaranteeing exceptional wall strength, minimal earing during deep drawing, and light-weight structural efficiency.
Equipped with next-generation BPA-NI (Non-Intent) acrylic or epoxy-resin interior lacquers. Rigorously tested for high-acid carbonated sodas, craft beer, and RTD cocktail compatibility.
Featuring 8-color high-speed dry offset printing with options for tactile matte varnish, gloss finishes, thermo-chromic inks, and direct-to-can digital prototyping.
To ensure flawless integration with automated high-speed seaming equipment (such as Ferrum, Angelus, and Krones), our 355ml aluminum cans are manufactured to exact dimensional tolerances. Below is the technical matrix utilized by global procurement managers and packaging engineers:

| Can Body Diameter | 66.0 mm (211 Diameter) | 58.0 mm (204 Diameter) | Laser Caliper Automated Gauge |
| Overall Can Height | 122.0 mm ± 0.2 mm | 148.0 mm ± 0.2 mm | Digital Contact Height Metric |
| Neck Finish / Opening | 202 Neck (SOT / RPT End) | 202 Neck (SOT / RPT End) | ISO/EN Standard Double Seam Specification |
| Axial Crush Strength | ≥ 1.20 kN (120 kgf) | ≥ 1.35 kN (135 kgf) | Top-Load Pressure Tester |
| Internal Pressure Resistance | ≥ 6.2 bar (90 psi) | ≥ 6.2 bar (90 psi) | Hydrostatic Deformation Test |
| Internal Coating Weight | 60 - 120 mg/sq.m (Customized for CSD/Alcohol) | 60 - 120 mg/sq.m (Customized for CSD/Alcohol) | Enamel Rater & Conductivity Test (< 2mA) |
Unlike standard generic suppliers, our 355ml cans utilize an optimized dome-bottom geometry designed to prevent bottom-buckling under extreme carbonation loads (up to 4.2 volumes of CO2). Furthermore, our internal lacquer coating is applied using dual-stage electro-static micro-spraying, guaranteeing a 100% pinhole-free barrier against organic acid corrosion in RTD cocktail formulations.
Our intelligent smart manufacturing ecosystem represents the pinnacle of modern metal packaging production. Located in China's prime industrial manufacturing hub, our facility leverages full-line automation, high-speed cupping presses operating at 3,000 strokes per minute, and fully integrated AI visual inspection systems.
High-resolution optical camera inspection systems monitor 100% of finished cans on the conveyor line, detecting flange dents, inner pinholes, sidewall scratches, and print defects in milliseconds.
By maintaining strategic raw material reserves of 5182 and 3104 aluminum coils alongside long-term strategic contracts with world-class aluminum smelters, we insulate our global partners from market volatility.
Every shipment is packed using export-grade wood pallets, corrugated layer pads, plastic slip-sheets, and heavy-duty shrink-wrapping to withstand transoceanic moisture and dynamic container stress.
From the moment raw aluminum coil enters our receiving bay to the final loading of 40ft High Cube containers, every unit undergoes strict batch tracing. QR codes embossed on master pallet tags allow instant retrieval of mill certificates, lacquer viscosity metrics, baking temperature logs, and double seam teardown reports.
As regulatory frameworks like the European Union Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) tighten and global consumer sentiment demands carbon neutrality, our R&D roadmap focuses on three pivotal engineering vectors:
By employing finite element analysis (FEA), our engineering team is systematically reducing sidewall thickness from 0.095mm to 0.088mm while reinforcing column strength, saving thousands of metric tons of raw metal annually.
Transitioning our core supply agreements toward high-fraction PCR aluminum alloys. Recycled aluminum consumes 95% less energy during manufacturing than primary smelting, dramatically lowering Scope 3 emissions.
Integrating high-resolution laser-etched matrix codes on the underside of 202 SOT / RPT easy-open tabs to enable anti-counterfeiting, consumer engagement campaigns, and automated reverse-vending recycling tracking.
Different liquid matrices interact uniquely with metal packaging. Our dedicated application engineering team customizes structural and coating parameters based on product chemistry:
| Beverage Sector | Key Packaging Challenge | Our Customized Engineering Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Craft Beer & Cider | Dissolved Oxygen (DO) pick-up & pressure retention. | Precision 202 SOT ends with high-resilience compound seals ensuring tight double seams and < 30 ppb DO ingress. |
| Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) | High internal pressure & expansion stress. | Triple-stage bottom dome profiling with 6.2+ bar burst resistance and high-tensile 3104 alloy body stock. |
| Energy Drinks & Functional Teas | Aggressive acids, taurine, and high pasteurization temps. | Cross-linked BPA-NI internal barrier coatings baked at precise thermal cycles to eliminate coating breakdown. |
| Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Cocktails | Alcohol corrosion & flavor migration. | Heavy-duty dual-coat internal lacquer application tested for up to 15% ABV liquor matrices. |
| Nutritional & Milk Powders | Moisture ingress & oxygen-sensitive oxidation. | Paired with specialty 300#, 307#, or 502# Anti-Static Aluminum Easy-Open Ends (EOE) featuring nitrogen-flush compatibility. |

Expert answers to common engineering, procurement, and shipping queries regarding our 355ml aluminum cans and closures.
Our standard production MOQ for custom 8-color printed 355ml cans is 100,000 units per artwork SKU. For unprinted (bright) cans, trial orders start at one 40ft High Cube container (~150,000 units depending on packing structure).
Yes. All our cans can be specified with premium BPA-NI internal acrylic or polyester lacquers that fully meet California Proposition 65, US FDA, and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) regulations.
Our 355ml cans typically feature a 202 diameter neck finish, which pairs perfectly with 202 Stay-On Tab (SOT) lids or 202 Ring Pull Tab (RPT) ends in standard or eco-lightweight configurations.
We conduct automated Enamel Rater conductivity testing (milliamp reading < 2.0 mA), pack-test shelf-life simulations, and high-temperature retort testing to ensure zero metal exposure or off-flavor transfer.
Cans are stacked on standard export wooden pallets (1120x1420mm or 1000x1200mm), separated by heavy kraft cardboard slip sheets, secured with corner protectors, and wrapped with dynamic stretch hood film.
Absolutley. In addition to 355ml cans, we supply food-grade 300#, 315#, and 211# tinplate lids, as well as high-grade 5052 and 3104 aluminum coils directly from our raw material processing lines.
