This 330ml Slim Aluminum Beverage Can is modern-style metal beverage packaging manufactured by HYT Packaging, a Chinese packaging factory with over 40-year manufacturing experience. Made of high-strength food-grade 3104 aluminum alloy, this sleek can keeps 330 ml full volume with slimmer body and taller profile.

The large uninterrupted printing area creates premium shelf visual effect for craft beer, RTD cocktails, energy drinks and sparkling beverages.

Product Specifications

Aluminum Can Body and Material

The body of 330ml Slim Aluminum Beverage Can is made from aluminum, providing a lightweight metal package suitable for high-volume beverage production.

For a beverage can, material selection is only one part of the packaging system. The internal surface also needs to be suitable for the filled product. Depending on the can specification and beverage formulation, internal coatings such as epoxy or BPA-NI systems may be used by manufacturers. The appropriate lining should be confirmed according to the beverage, regulatory requirements and actual production specification.

For new beverage projects, HYT Packaging recommends confirming the product formula and target market before finalizing the internal coating and can specification.

Internal Coating and Beverage Compatibility

The beverage inside the can comes into direct contact with the internal lining, so coating selection should be considered together with the formulation.

Before placing a bulk order, buyers should provide basic information about the beverage, such as:

1. Product category

2. pH range

3. Carbonation level

4. Alcohol content, if applicable

5. Acidity

6. Ingredients with potential packaging interaction

7. Filling and pasteurization conditions

8. Target market and regulatory requirements

The final lining should be confirmed through the manufacturer's technical specification and, where necessary, compatibility testing.

This is particularly important for acidic beverages, alcoholic products, carbonated drinks and formulations containing ingredients that may interact with packaging materials.

Applications
