Metal Cans have been used in industrial packaging since the early 1800s. The first production of metal cans in England started in 1813. Food products such as meat, fruits, oysters, etc were stored in these metal cans in the early years of its adoption.

Today, metal cans are used in a wide array of applications to store valuable healthcare products, edible oil, cosmetics, industrial chemicals such as solvents, dyes, paints, etc.

Metal Cans are the primary choice of packaging in the food & beverage industry when it comes to prolonging storage, superior protection against external contaminants and high recyclability. These cans can be recycled and reused an infinite number of times and can be manufactured in any desired shape.
