Aluminum Can Manufacturering & Sourcing

Our Aluminum Can Options

BevSource stocks and sources a full range of aluminum cans and ends for beverage brands at every stage of growth from industry-leading aluminum can manufacturers. From your first small run to a full truckload order, we have the formats, finishes and sizes to get your product to market.

  • Can formats and sizes: Standard, sleek and slim cans are available in a variety of sizes. We also source specialty formats, including retort cans and cans with energy drink liners, to meet specific formulation and processing requirements.
  • Brite cans: Brite cans are blank aluminum cans ready for shrink sleeve labels, pressure-sensitive labels, or digital printing — ideal for emerging brands, limited runs and new SKUs.
  • Printed cans: Direct print and digital print options are available for brands ready to put their design directly on the can.
  • Pull tabs and decorative can ends: We offer a full range of can end options, including standard lids, large opening ends (LOE) and decorative tab colors to match your brand.

What Is the Minimum Order Quantity for Aluminum Cans?

Brite cans are available to be purchased in quantities as low as two-pallet increments. If you are looking for decorated cans, the direct print cans have a one-truckload minimum. However, our digital print and shrink-sleeve solutions allow us to offer lower minimums per SKU. Reach out to learn more.
