Preprinted Cans (Lithographed Cans)

Description:
The design is printed directly onto the empty can at our can supplier — typically via offset printing.

Advantages:

• Premium look & feel:
  
  
• High-quality, seamless appearance enhances brand perception
  
  
• Durability:
  
  
• Labels cannot peel off, tear, or wrinkle — ideal for hot/humid climates or long transit.
  
  
• Tamper resistance:
  
  
• No adhesive layer; reduces risk of mislabeling or tampering.
  
  
• Regulatory trust:
  
  
• Authorities in some countries (e.g., China) prefer or require preprinted cans for better traceability and food safety assurance.
  
  
• Improved shelf appeal:
  
  
• Better suited for retail-focused, high-visibility markets where visual impact drives consumer choice.

Best for:

• High-volume SKUs for stable markets
  
  
• Premium product lines
  
  
• Export markets with strict or specific labelling regulations

When maximum shelf impact is a priority.
