Description:
A blank can is wrapped with a printed label, applied after the filling process.

Advantages:

• High flexibility:
  
  
• Use the same base can for multiple markets or SKUs; only the label changes.
  
  
• Lower MOQs per SKU:
  
  
• No need to meet high minimum order quantities for each design; great for limited runs or test markets.
  
  
• Faster time to market:
  
  
• Shorter lead times for new or updated labels, especially when regulations or branding need rapid changes.
  
  
• Cost savings on small volumes:
  
  
• More economical for lower-volume products or frequent formula/label changes.
  
  
• Easier compliance updates:
  
  
• Quickly adapt to new labeling requirements (e.g., ingredient updates, language changes, new certifications).

Best for:

• Emerging or test markets
  
• Frequent regulatory changes
• Multiple languages/regions using the same product
  
  

Short-run SKUs or custom/private label formulas.
