Which aluminium alloys do you use for cans, ends and coil?

Can bodies are drawn from 3104-H19 aluminium, easy-open ends from 5182-H48 shell stock and tabs from 5052, while lacquered coil for lids is supplied in 8011 and 3104 tempers. Every coil arrives with a mill certificate stating alloy, temper, thickness tolerance and surface class.

What is the minimum order quantity for aluminium cans and easy-open ends?

Standard bright or plain cans start at one 20 ft container; fully printed cans normally start at 100,000 pieces per design because of plate and lacquer set-up. Easy-open ends in 200#, 202#, 206#, 209#, 211#, 300#, 307#, 401# and 502# are stocked, so trial orders from 200,000 pieces can ship within 15 working days.

Are your lids and cans food-contact compliant for export markets?

Internal lacquers are BPA-NI and are tested against FDA 21 CFR 175.300, EU Regulation 1935/2004 and GB 4806.10 for food-contact migration. We supply migration test reports, food-grade declarations and RoHS/REACH statements with each shipment.

How do you protect aluminium packaging during ocean freight?

Cans travel on bulk pallets with top frames, kraft slip sheets and stretch hood film; ends are packed in polyethylene sleeves inside fibre drums or cartons with desiccant. Loading photos and container seal numbers are sent before vessel departure so quality can be verified on arrival.

Can you match a filling line with specific can and end dimensions?

Yes. Share your seamer model, line speed and target fill volume and our engineers will confirm can height, body wall gauge, neck diameter, end curl and countersink depth, then supply drawings and a sample lot for seam teardown analysis before mass production.

Macro Economic Insight

The Surge of Vietnam’s Aluminium & Packaging Ecosystem

Strategic shift of global manufacturing hubs towards Vietnam’s key industrial corridors mandates high-precision metal supply chains.

Vietnam's Transformation into SE Asia's Metal Consumption Hub

Over the past decade, Vietnam has established itself as an indispensable manufacturing nexus within the ASEAN market. Driven by massive FDI influx into high-tech electronics, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), beverage canning, and solar energy installations, the national demand for premium aluminium coil products has experienced double-digit compound annual growth (CAGR).

Major industrial clusters—ranging from Northern corridors like **Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen, and Hai Phong** to Southern powerhouses such as **Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Long An**—require guaranteed raw material inputs. Whether it is drawing 3104-H19 coils for 1,200 cans-per-minute filling lines operated by multinational beverage brands, or fabricating anti-corrosive 5052-H32 chassis for global consumer electronics giants, material reliability is paramount.

"Vietnam’s industrial ecosystem no longer tolerates sub-standard metallurgical consistency. Modern high-speed stamping presses operating in Dong Nai or Hai Phong demand coil-to-coil width tolerances within ±0.1mm and zero surface defect rates."

Key Vietnam Industry Drivers (2026–2030)

Beverage Canning Expansion: Domestic beer and RTD tea filling capacities exceeding 7.5 billion units annually in Vietnam.
Consumer Electronics Enclosures: Thermal management and shielding components produced in Bac Ninh & Hai Phong.
Architectural & Building Façades: Rapid urbanization in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City driving PVDF-coated 3003/5052 exterior coil usage.

Global Industrial Outlook

Global Metallurgical Trends: Decarbonization & Circular Economy

Understanding how EU CBAM regulations, Scope 1-3 carbon tracking, and lightweighting alloy innovations impact Vietnam’s export-oriented manufacturers.

Low-Carbon Aluminium Sourcing

With global regulations penalizing high-carbon inputs, our primary aluminium smelters utilize hydroelectric power base metal, bringing carbon intensity below 4.0 t CO2e/t Al. This ensures Vietnam exporters seamlessly pass European CBAM audits.

Infinite Recyclability & Scrap Recycling

Aluminium retains 100% of its physical properties regardless of recycling cycles. Integrating up to 75% recycled content (UBC - Used Beverage Cans) into coil casting reduces energy consumption by 95% compared to primary smelting.

Gauge Lightweighting Technologies

Advanced cold-rolling mills can reduce beverage body gauge from 0.280mm down to 0.245mm without compromising column strength or internal pressure threshold (≥ 6.2 bar), resulting in massive cost savings per million units.
