Engineered by hiuierpack, a global aluminum packaging manufacturer and contract canning enterprise, our Standard 500ml Aluminum Cans represent the ultimate high-volume, cost-effective packaging standard for global beer, industrial lager, carbonated soft drinks, large-format sparkling water, and energy drink brands. Delivering an optimal balance of single-serve large capacity, superior structural burst resistance, and maximum unit-volume freight efficiency, the standard can 500ml format is the dominant market leader across Europe, the UK, Australasia, and Southeast Asia.
Powered by hiuierpack's integrated supply chain—comprising a self-owned 6,000 m² automated brewery, 6 high-speed filling lines, and a consolidated network of 12 state-of-the-art packaging facilities delivering over 10 billion cans annually—we supply full turnkey packaging and contract filling solutions across 75+ export destinations.
Integrated Brewery & Processing Hub: Operates an integrated 6,000 m² modern facility with twin flavor R&D laboratories, offering beverage formulation, carbonation calibration, and contract canning under single-source accountability.
12 Consolidated Manufacturing Plants: A unified factory matrix engineered to handle massive commercial production runs without scheduling bottlenecks or lead-time delays.
Two Decades of Export Expertise: Over 20 years navigating global customs clearance, FDA food-contact compliance, and international maritime freight logistics.
Annual Output: Exceeds 10 Billion aluminum cans across Standard Can, Sleek Can, Slim Can, and King Can formats.
6 Automated Filling Lines: High-speed lines equipped with counter-pressure filling, automated double-seam camera audits, and inline tunnel pasteurization (operating at speeds up to 1,200 cans per minute).
Massive Industrial Scale: Operating across 10 dedicated manufacturing workshops, delivering high-speed compatibility with global canning lines running at up to 80,000 cans/hour.
High-Tensile Aluminum Alloys: Formed from premium Alloy 3104 / 3004 (H19 temper, 0.280 ± 0.005mm coil thickness) for ultra-thin wall ironing with maximum axial crush strength; Lids formed from high-tensile Alloy 5182.
BPA-NI & Epoxy Internal Linings: 100% compliant water-based modified Epoxy or BPA-NI (BPA Non-Intent) coatings, creating an absolute barrier against metal migration and preserving subtle flavor notes over extended shelf storage.
Seamless 2-Piece Deep-Drawn Body: Seamless construction eliminates side welds, preventing micro-leakage and dome reversal under elevated internal pressure up to 6.2 bar (90 PSI).

Every production lot of standard can 500ml units passes a 4-stage automated Quality Control inspection protocol:
Raw Coil Audit: Alloy thickness gauge, tensile strength, and pinhole grain checks on incoming aluminum sheets.
100% Inline Optical Audits: High-speed optical camera inspection for rim fractures, neck deformations, and interior spray coating voids.
Destructive Physical Testing: Axial load crush testing, internal hydraulic burst pressure evaluation (>6.2 bar), and enamel conductivity tests.
Microscopic Double-Seam Analysis: Precision cross-section projection checking seam tightness, overlap, and hook length prior to issuing the Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Artwork Submission: Submit vector design files (.AI, .PDF, or .PSD at 300+ DPI with Pantone PMS codes).
Prepress Engineering & 3D Proofing: Digital 3D renders and seam alignment proofs generated within 48 hours.
Plate Making & Physical Sampling: Physical sample cans printed and dispatched via express courier (DHL/FedEx) in 7–10 working days.
Mass Production & Coating: Mass 7-color printing and automated internal spraying proceed upon sample approval.
Final Inspection & Global Dispatch: Finished goods undergo final QA, palletization, and sea freight loading with full COA documentation. 8. Global Export Footprint & Target Markets

A: The standard can 500ml is the world's leading large-capacity packaging format, ideally suited for industrial lagers, craft beers, fruit-flavored beers, carbonated soft drinks, large-format sparkling waters, iced teas, energy drinks, and sports beverages. It provides a full single-serve portion that maximizes cost efficiency and unit volume for mass consumer markets.
A: European and UK consumers have a long-established preference for 500ml single-serve units in beer and carbonated categories. The standard can 500ml offers unbeatable price-per-volume value, excellent retail shelf visibility, and complete compatibility with high-speed canning lines operating across major European distribution networks.
A: The standard can 500ml features a standard 211# body diameter (φ 66.1 mm) and uses a universal 202# SOT easy-open end. Because it shares the exact same diameter tooling base as standard 330ml cans, commercial co-packers can run standard can 500ml units on existing high-speed lines (supporting speeds exceeding 80,000 cans/hour) with minimal height adjustments and zero tooling replacement.
A: Yes. Manufactured from high-tensile Alloy 3004/3104 with reinforced bottom dome geometry, hiuierpack standard can 500ml units withstand internal working pressures up to 6.2 bar (90 PSI) and endure tunnel pasteurization thermal cycles without structural deformation or dome reversal.
A: Using advanced lithographic printing technology supporting up to 7-8 colors, hiuierpack offers High-Gloss, Premium Matte, and polyester/acrylic exterior coatings. We also provide prepress 3D digital renders and physical sample proofing in 7 to 10 working days to validate color fidelity prior to commercial production.
A: The baseline MOQ for custom printed standard can 500ml orders is 300,000 units per SKU. Unprinted plain blank cans are available at lower MOQs. Prepress sample production takes 7 to 10 working days, while mass commercial production requires 15 to 20 working days following sample sign-off.
A: All standard can 500ml units receive an automated internal spray of 100% Food-Grade BPA-NI (BPA Non-Intent) or water-based modified Epoxy coating. Certified by FDA and SGS, this non-reactive barrier insulates the liquid from raw aluminum, preserving delicate taste profiles and preventing internal corrosion over extended shelf storage.
A: Cans are layer-stacked on heavy-duty export pallets, separated by protective paper layer sheets, fitted with top frames, wrapped in plastic stretch film, and bound with high-tension strapping. Our pallet stacking configurations for $40\text{'HQ}$ ocean containers maximize unit loading density, reducing per-can freight overhead by up to 15%.
A: Yes. hiuierpack operates a 6,000 m² primary processing plant equipped with 6 high-speed automated canning lines. We offer turnkey OEM/ODM contract brewing and beverage filling services—handling liquid creation, carbonation, automated filling, seaming, and export documentation under single-source factory accountability.
