Overview

Written for can-makers and industrial can-users, this text covers both protective and decorative aspects of cans including the merits of alternative processes and, importantly, the pros and cons of various approaches to environmental compliance. Metal packaging for food and drinks will develop in existing markets and, importantly, in emerging markets such as the Far East and Eastern Europe. Metal protection, comprising various metal treatments and coating systems, is a complex and essential feature of packaging. It affords mutual protection for can and contents and is the difference between palatibility and catastrophic failure.
