Request Specification & PriceColombia has emerged as one of Latin America's most dynamic packaging markets. Driven by expanding urban centers in Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla, the Colombian food and beverage industry is undergoing a structural transition from single-use plastics to infinitely recyclable metal packaging formats.
With national environmental mandates such as Resolution 1407 of 2018 (Extended Producer Responsibility / REP) and statutory restrictions on single-use polymers, beverage brands and food processors across Colombia are actively converting production lines to 2-piece drawn and wall-ironed (DWI) aluminium cans and high-barrier easy-open ends.
Furthermore, Colombia’s robust export economy—ranging from premium roasted coffee extracts and freeze-dried coffee to nutraceutical powders and canned tropical fruits—requires packaging capable of withstanding humid tropical transit while passing strict INVIMA (Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos) sanitary regulations.
A comprehensive technical overview of alloy compositions, temper selections, internal lacquer chemistries, and double-seam tolerance controls.
Our aluminium cans and easy-open ends are fabricated using prime-grade aluminum alloy coils sourced under rigorous ISO 9001 quality frameworks. Every batch undergoes strict spectral analysis to verify magnesium and manganese ratios, ensuring superior axial load strength and internal pressure resistance.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Can Body Stock | AA 3104 | H19 | 0.245 – 0.265 | Tensile Strength ≥ 290 MPa; Earing ≤ 1.8% | Carbonated Soft Drinks, Craft Beers, Flavored Waters |
| SOT / RPT End Shells | AA 5182 | H48 | 0.205 – 0.220 | Buckle Pressure ≥ 6.2 bar; High Pop/Pull strength | 202 & 206 Diameter Beverage Cans |
| Pull Tab Stock | AA 5052 | H19 / H38 | 0.350 – 0.390 | Optimal ductility without rivet fatigue fracture | Coloured / Standard Stay-on-Tabs (SOT) |
| Powder & Dry Food Ends | AA 8011 / 3003 | H14 / H16 | 0.180 – 0.240 | Superior deep-drawing and seam-tightness | 401# & 502# Milk Formula & Coffee Powders |
To protect sensitive Colombian beverages (such as high-acid citrus drinks containing passionfruit/maracuyá, or carbonated soft drinks), we apply advanced internal lacquers including modified polyester, acrylic, and epoxy-free organosols. Tested rigorously via Enamel Rater conductive analysis (< 2.0 mA pass rating).
Our can necks and lid countersinks are precision-machined to match international double-seam tooling standards. Seamlessly compatible with high-speed seamers deployed across Colombia, including Angelus, Ferrum, Somme, and FMC machines, minimizing setup downtime and jam rates.
Every production lot is subjected to 100% online light-tester micro-pinhole detection, cross-section double-seam teardown inspection (verifying overlap percentage ≥ 45%), and axial collapse pressure testing, guaranteeing ZERO leakage during ocean transport to South America.
From the high-altitude bottling hubs of Cundinamarca to the tropical agricultural processing plants of Antioquia and El Eje Cafetero.
Colombia’s craft beer movement (in cities like Bogotá and Medellín) and the rapid emergence of canned Aguardiente Ready-to-Drink (RTD) cocktails require robust 330ml, 355ml (12oz), and 473ml (16oz) aluminium cans. Paired with 202 SOT (Stay-On Tab) pasteurization-resistant ends, our cans hold internal carbonation pressure up to 6.2 bar without bottom dome reversal.
Recommended Formats: Standard 355ml, Sleek 330ml with 202 SOT Lid.As a global leader in coffee production (Eje Cafetero: Quindío, Risaralda, Caldas), Colombian exporters require high-barrier 401# and 502# easy-open lids for nitrogen-flushed ground coffee cans and soluble coffee extracts. Our oxygen barrier transmission rates (OTR) are virtually zero, ensuring aroma volatile oils remain preserved during transit to North American and European markets.
Recommended Formats: 401# & 502# Aluminum Peel-Off Ends / Easy-Open Lids.Colombian pharmaceutical and nutritional product packaging demands sterile, anti-static easy-open ends. We supply 502# transparent-top lids and scoop-holder foil ends featuring burr-free safety edges (to prevent consumer finger cuts) and airtight seal compounds that prevent moisture ingress in humid Colombian coastal zones.
Recommended Formats: 502# Transparent-Top & Foil Peel-Off Powder Lids.For tuna processors along Colombia's Pacific coast (Buenaventura) and Caribbean agricultural packers, we supply retortable tinplate and aluminum easy-open ends that withstand autoclave thermal sterilization cycles (121°C for 60 minutes) without liner delamination or sulfur-staining.
Recommended Formats: 307# & 401# Retort-Grade Food Ends.How Colombian importers achieve up to 22% TCO savings by partnering with Chinese metal packaging specialists.
Operating high-speed 1200-can-per-minute Stolle and Minster production lines in China allows us to lower per-unit stamping and coating costs significantly compared to regional South American converters. These operational savings are directly passed on to Colombian buyers.
We offer up to 8-color dry offset printing with specialized tactile finishes, gloss/matte combination varnishes, and metallic ink overlays. Colombian beverage brands can launch eye-catching designs without investing in expensive local printing plate setups.
Direct shipping lines operating from Shanghai / Ningbo ports directly to Colombia’s key maritime gateways—Puerto de Buenaventura (Pacific) and Puerto de Cartagena (Atlantic)—ensure predictable transit times averaging 22 to 28 days.
Shipping fragile metal packaging across equatorial maritime routes requires stringent protective measures to prevent humidity damage, transit oxidation, and pallet collapse:
Fully certified food-contact materials that satisfy Colombian INVIMA standards, US FDA regulations, and European Union directives.
Lacquers tested against global heavy-metal and specific overall migration limits for direct food contact in Colombia.
Full compliance with US FDA resin and polymeric coatings standards for food and beverage packaging integrity.

Using advanced cold-rolling alloy technology, our 3104-H19 body stock thickness has been reduced to 0.245mm while maintaining an axial column load capacity exceeding 1.4 kN. This lightweighting directly reduces import duties (Arancel) and ocean freight costs for Colombian buyers.
Urban Colombian consumers increasingly demand re-closable beverage packaging. Our Resealable Tab (RPT) 202 ends allow consumers to enjoy energy drinks or flavored waters over multiple consumption occasions without carbonation loss or spill risks.
In alignment with Colombia's Ley de Plásticos de Un Solo Uso and global ESG directives, our factory integrates up to 75% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) aluminum into alloy smelting, reducing the carbon footprint per can by over 60% compared to virgin aluminum ingot production.
Expert engineering answers regarding tariffs, customs clearance, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and filling line setup in Colombia.
Transit times from Shanghai or Ningbo to direct Colombian ports average 22 to 25 days for Buenaventura (Pacific Coast) and 26 to 30 days for Cartagena / Barranquilla (Caribbean Coast). Standard production lead time is 15 to 20 business days upon artwork approval and deposit receipt.
Yes. All internal lacquer chemistries (including Organosol and BPA-Non-Intent formulations) comply with INVIMA regulations, US FDA 21 CFR 175.300, and EU Regulation 1935/2004. We supply complete migration test certificates issued by independent labs (SGS/Intertek) with each shipment.
For custom printed aluminium cans (up to 8 colors), the MOQ is 100,000 units per design SKU due to high-speed offset plate setup requirements.
