| Metric | Custom Mini Can Solution | Industry Average | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Can Volume | 150 | 250 | ml | Smaller, single-serve format optimized for on‑the‑go products and sampling campaigns. |
| Material | Aluminum (99% recyclable) | Aluminum | — | Both fully recyclable; custom option emphasizes higher recycled content in blank stock. |
| Recycled Content | ~90% | ~45% | % | Measured on material input; reduces embodied carbon and supports circularity targets. |
| Carbon Footprint (per can) | 22 | 35 | g CO2e | Life-cycle estimate including material and primary forming stages for empty can. |
| Average Can Weight | 24 | 28 | g | Lightweighting achieved through optimized alloy and wall profile without compromising strength. |
| Wall Thickness (body) | 0.18 | 0.20 | mm | Reduced thickness contributes to lower material use while maintaining burst performance. |
| Printing Resolution | Up to 600 | Up to 300 | dpi | Higher fidelity for detailed graphics, gradients, and small text legibility on mini cans. |
| Available Print Colors | Up to 10 spot colors + CMYK | Up to 4 spot colors | — | Expanded palette enables premium finishing and complex brand looks without compromises. |
| Lead Time (production) | 12 | 20 | days | Typical lead time from artwork approval to shipment of finished empty cans. |
| Minimum Order Quantity (typical) | 5,000 | 25,000 | pcs | Lower MOQ allows faster market tests and seasonal SKU launches. |
| Monthly Production Capacity | 6,000,000 | 15,000,000 | pcs / month | Capacity expressed as empty can equivalents; custom lines optimized for mini can runs. |
| Burst Pressure (seal integrity) | ~120 | ~100 | psi | Evaluated after end-seaming; higher burst margin supports pressurized beverage fills. |
| Dimensional Tolerance (diameter/height) | ±0.25 | ±0.50 | mm | Tighter tolerances improve fill-line consistency and labeling/secondary-pack fit. |
| Defect Rate (after final inspection) | ~120 | ~450 | ppm | Includes visual, dimensional, and sealing defects; lower defect rate reduces rework and waste. |
| Shelf Life (filled, ambient) | 18 | 12 | months | Based on standard barrier coatings and validated headspace protocols for typical beverages. |
| End-of-Life Recycling Pathway | Standard aluminum recycling | Standard aluminum recycling | — | Both stream through municipal aluminum collection; higher recycled content reduces demand for primary aluminum. |
