In recent years, metal cans have become an "all-round player" in the food packaging industry due to their strong sealing, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. From fruit cans to milk powder containers, metal cans extend food shelf life to over two years by blocking oxygen and light. For instance, milk powder cans are filled with nitrogen to prevent spoilage, while edible oil cans feature anti-oxidation coatings to lock in freshness. In fresh food transportation, vacuum packaging combined with smart temperature-control labels has reduced spoilage rates by over 15%, addressing the issue of food waste.
In the beverage sector, aluminum cans dominate the market with their lightweight and pressure-resistant advantages. A 330ml carbonated beverage can has reduced its weight from 20 grams to 12 grams while withstanding pressure equivalent to six times that of a car tire. This lightweight design saves 18% in material costs, reduces annual steel consumption by over 6,000 tons, and supports a circular economy through high aluminum can recycling rates—recycled aluminum production consumes only 5% of the energy required for new aluminum, significantly easing environmental burdens.
Metal cans also impress with their "aesthetics" and "intelligence." Tea cans feature magnetic lids, and chocolate gift boxes are adorned with laser-etched patterns, transforming packaging into art. Some brands embed AR scanning functions in mooncake boxes, allowing consumers to watch cultural story videos, boosting product value by 40%. Smart technology makes packaging "communicative": invisible QR codes on cans enable production process traceability, while temperature-control chips monitor transportation conditions in real time, ensuring full control over food safety.
From preservation experts to environmental pioneers, metal cans are reshaping the food packaging industry with their safety, intelligence, and sustainability. As highlighted by international packaging exhibitions, innovative solutions like aviation aluminum foil meal boxes and plant-fiber tableware are building a green closed loop from production to recycling. This packaging revolution not only makes food safer and transportation more efficient but also transforms every metal can into a green guardian of the planet.
China has become one of the world's largest producers of metal cans, and the Chinese metal can industry is moving toward high-end, intelligent, and green development. To foster cooperation and exchange among international enterprises, FPackAsia2025 Guangzhou International Metal Packaging and Can-Making Technology Exhibition will be held from August 22–24, 2025, at the China Import and Export Fair Complex.
Positioned in China with a global reach, the exhibition gathers high-quality exhibitors and visitors, focusing on can-making technology, equipment, canning, and metal packaging materials. It is expected to attract attendees from over 20 countries and regions, including China, Indonesia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, India, France, Brazil, Iran, Russia, the Netherlands, Japan, and South Korea, creating an efficient platform for industry solutions and transactions for upstream and downstream enterprises in the can-making and metal packaging sectors.
The event aims to drive the prosperity of the global metal can industry. Concurrently, the exhibition will host industry-themed seminars, product promotion events, and innovation development forums to facilitate cutting-edge information and technology exchange. We welcome you to contact Changtai Intelligent to explore the latest market trends, innovative solutions, and establish partnerships.
