Metal Cans

Metal Cans

Metal Cans (SIC 3411) covers manufacturers that form, coat, and print steel and aluminum containers for food, beverages, household chemicals, paints, and aerosol products, serving global CPG brands, private-label packers, craft beverage producers, and industrial distributors that demand shelf-stable, tamper-resistant packaging. Core offerings include two- and three-piece cans, easy-open ends, lightweight beverage bodies, specialty closures, and contract metal printing. The sector operates under strict FDA and USDA food-contact rules, EPA emissions and VOC standards for coatings, and OSHA safety requirements, while commodity metal price volatility, energy costs, and recycling mandates present ongoing risks. For 2024-2025, producers are pushing thinner-gauge metals, higher post-consumer recycled content, and digital can-printing runs for faster SKU turns, with growth tied to energy drinks, ready-to-drink cocktails, and sustainability-driven shifts away from single-use plastics.
