Beer and soft drinks are the two key sub-segments for beverage cans, though metal cans are also to be found for juices, nectars and syrups as well as for energy supplements, coffee, wine and many more drinks.

Beverage cans are:

available in a variety of sizes
being developed to match growing market needs
offered in a wide variety of formats, such as tall, slim or sleek cans
available in multi-portion large cans for beer
produced as two or three-piece cans
available in aluminium or steel

Metal cans allow quick cooling, they are handy to take away, they are unbreakable and now they are also re-sealable.

Some special and innovative features like the widget for draught beer at home, self heating cans, thermo-chrome lacquers and fluorescent inks are expanding the applications for beverage cans.
