The familiar 355 mL / 12 oz standard cans are great for a wide range of drinks. For something that feels more premium, you might consider the smaller 250 mL size. Sleek cans, on the other hand, are taller and often perceived as more elegant or health-conscious. It's all about choosing the style that best fits your beverage and brand identity.

It really depends on your brand's needs and the quantity you're looking for.

Printed cans allow for up to 7 colors, offering high-quality, detailed designs. However, they come with a higher minimum order quantity (MOQ).

Blank cans can be ordered in smaller quantities, even as little as a pallet. There's no one-size-fits-all answer; it's about what aligns best with your brand's vision and requirements.

Epoxy and BPANI are types of internal coatings used inside cans to protect the beverage and preserve its taste.

Epoxy: the traditional choice, is widely recognized for its robust protective qualities and has been a reliable standard in the industry.

BPANI, or BPA-NI (Bisphenol A Non-Intent): a newer alternative that also offers strong protection, with an additional focus on health and environmental considerations.

Both coatings are effective, and the choice between them depends on your beverage type and your brand's specific priorities and standards.
