ALUCAN, the beverage packaging brand of Yantai Zhuyuan Environmental Tech Co., Ltd., has launched a comprehensive sourcing checklist designed to assist beverage manufacturers in selecting aluminum cans for their products. This new resource is intended to streamline the coordination between purchasing, production, and design teams as they navigate the complexities of packaging selection.
The checklist emphasizes the importance of verifying actual can dimensions rather than relying on nominal capacities, which can be misleading. For instance, two cans both holding 355 mL (12 US fl oz) can have significantly different dimensions. ALUCAN’s Standard can has a body diameter of 66.04 mm and a height of 122.22 mm, whereas its Sleek can measures 57.40 mm in diameter and 155.73 mm in height, making the Sleek format 8.6 mm narrower and 33.5 mm taller.
Key areas covered in the checklist include confirming can capacity and profile, verifying easy-open end specifications, detailing the beverage and filling process, planning production-line and seam trials, and reviewing artwork and pallet arrangements. These steps are crucial for preventing compatibility issues that could disrupt manufacturing schedules.
The checklist also highlights the need for suppliers to understand beverage characteristics, such as product type, carbonation level, and pasteurization requirements, to ensure the cans and ends are suitable. Production teams should agree on sample requirements and trial procedures to assess can handling and seam quality before committing to a full production run.
Logistics considerations are also addressed, with advice on using print templates for the chosen can format, confirming design quantities, and aligning pallet configurations with the receiving facility’s needs. ALUCAN provides additional resources, including information on how many cans fit in a 40HQ container, aiding purchasing and logistics teams in planning their orders efficiently.
In addition to the checklist, ALUCAN offers an Aluminum Can Sizes and Dimensions Guide that details 18 size and format combinations across five product families: Standard, Sleek, Slim, Super Sleek, and 1 L Sharing. This guide is available without registration and provides reference dimensions and nominal end sizes for initial comparisons, with final decisions advised to be based on supplier drawings.
