FitsA recurring or high-volume can program in a common North American body style and fill volume.

Doesn't fitNot a fit for a custom or novelty can shape outside the standard, sleek, slim, and king families. Talk to us about a custom format separately.

Ask usPrinted runs, unusual quantities, or a size you don't see below.

We carry aluminum cans in the body styles and fill volumes producers package most: Standard, Sleek, Slim and King. They cover a first run through a high-volume program without custom tooling.

Every size below pairs with a compatible end. See end sizes and options. A can outside these sizes is a custom format, and starts as its own conversation rather than a catalog pick.

Compare brite, direct-print and digitally printed cans. For direct print, tell us whether this is a reprint or new artwork, and describe any complex design requirements.

Not sure how many pallets that is? Plan it in cans, pallets and ends.
