🚢 Global Supply Chain, Delivery Safeguards & Packing Protocols
- High-Speed Filling Qualification: Every can lot undergoes automated light-tester inspection and cup-draw stress analysis, ensuring uninterrupted throughput on commercial lines exceeding 1,000 CPM.
- Ocean Freight Integrity: Pallets are secured with industrial-grade tier sheets, high-tension wave boards, heavy-gauge PP strapping, and all-weather moisture-barrier stretch wrap to eliminate structural deformation or surface abrasion across intercontinental transit.
- Scalable Production Capacity: Baseline output exceeds 200 × 40' HQ containers per month, supported by established customs clearance workflows serving major ports in Europe, Southeast Asia, Central America, and the Middle East.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many 355ml sleek aluminum cans fit into a single 40' HQ container?
A: Under Alucan's standard export pallet configuration, a 40' HQ container accommodates 124,080 units of empty 355ml sleek cans (7,755 pcs per pallet × 16 pallets). The precise figure may vary slightly with local port weight regulations and whether matching 202 ends are consolidated into the same shipment. Use the live calculator above to model your specific lot.
Q: Should we specify BPA-NI or standard Epoxy-Phenolic internal lining?
A: The specification depends on your destination market regulations and product chemistry. Epoxy-Phenolic linings deliver robust corrosion resistance and long shelf-life for beer and CSDs in regions without Bisphenol-A restrictions. BPA-NI (BPA Non-Intent) coatings are required for export to the EU, UK, and North America to comply with food-contact material regulations and organic certification standards.
