Production Process

End-to-end manufacturing from aluminum coils to finished cans

1. Material Preparation

Aluminum coils (3104 alloy) are inspected and prepared. Thickness: 0.27-0.35mm depending on can size. Surface cleaned and lubricated.

2. Cupping

Single-piece draw forming creates cup shape. Precision tooling ensures consistent wall thickness distribution.

3. Ironing & Drawing

Multi-stage ironing stretches cup into final can height. Creates seamless walls with precise thickness distribution.

4. Trimming & Washing

Top edge trimmed to exact specifications. Interior washed and cleaned to food-grade standards.

5. Interior Coating

Food-safe coating applied (BPA-NI or epoxy). Cured in oven at controlled temperature for optimal adhesion.

6. Exterior Decoration

CMYK offset printing up to 8 colors. Matte, tactile, and specialty finishes applied. UV coating protection.

7. Necking & Flanging

Can neck reduced to fit easy-open ends. Flange created for seaming with end. Multiple neck reductions for slim cans.

8. Quality Testing

100% automated inspection for dimensions, coating coverage, print quality. Burst testing, vacuum testing, leak detection.

9. Packing & Warehousing

Can-packed in polyethylene bags, corrugated cartons, or palletized. Climate-controlled warehouse storage.

10. End Seaming

Easy-open ends (sourced or customer-supplied) seamed to cans. Quality verification of double seam parameters.
