500ml Aluminum Cans with Beer Can Lid

The 500ml format gives beverage brands more volume than the common 330ml can while keeping the familiar cylindrical can format. With a typical height of about 168mm and a 66mm body diameter, it is widely used for beer, cider, soft drinks, energy drinks and other beverage products.

The 500ml aluminum cans with beer can lid is supplied with an easy-open beer can lid designed for convenient opening and compatibility with standard can-seaming processes. Depending on the selected specification, options such as ring-pull or stay-on-tab ends may be available. The exact end should be matched with the can body and customer's filling equipment before production.

HYT Packaging is a China-based packaging supplier working with manufacturing partners to coordinate can specifications, lids, printing and export packaging. For customers developing or changing a beverage package, HYT can help confirm the can format and component requirements before mass production rather than treating the can as a standalone commodity.

Built as a Complete Beverage Packaging System

A beverage can is more than an aluminum cylinder. The finished package normally consists of:

Aluminum can body

Provides the main container structure and printable outer surface.

Internal coating

Separates the beverage from the metal surface and should be selected according to the formulation and processing conditions.

Easy-open end

Provides the sealed top and opening mechanism.

Pull tab

Allows consumers to open the can without a separate tool.

Printed surface

Carries the brand identity, product information and required regulatory details.

Each component needs to work with the others. For this reason, HYT Packaging recommends confirming the complete packaging specification before bulk production rather than selecting the can body and lid independently.

Export Packaging

The empty 500ml aluminum cans with beer can lid need stable pallet packing because dents, scratches and deformation can affect the appearance and filling process.

Published supplier configurations vary considerably. For example, one 500ml standard can specification lists 5,446 cans per pallet and 16 pallets per 40HQ, while other suppliers use different pallet arrangements. This means container loading should be confirmed from the actual can supplier rather than using a generic online number.

Why Choose HYT Packaging?

HYT Packaging is a China-based packaging supplier working with manufacturing partners to provide packaging solutions for international customers.

For a product such as a 500ml aluminum beer can, the supply process involves more than producing the metal body. The can specification, easy-open lid, internal coating, printing, packing and filling requirements all need to be coordinated.

HYT Packaging can act as the communication point between the customer and the relevant manufacturing resources, helping confirm the specification before production and coordinating the project through sampling, printing, production and export shipment.

For beverage companies, this approach can be more practical than contacting separate suppliers for the can body, lid, printing and export packing.
