JinZhou Health Industry Co., Ltd. offers you a holistic solution for aluminum can customization. This document provides an in-depth analysis of the market strategies behind the four major aluminum can dimensions—Slim, Sleek, Standard, and King Can—as well as the disruptive sensory value of four advanced printing techniques—Glossy, Matte, White Base, and Tactile. Learn how to integrate dimensions and printing to upgrade your packaging into a powerful marketing asset, driving high sales and brand recognition.
In today's fiercely competitive beverage market, packaging is no longer merely a tool to protect the contents. It has evolved into a "silent salesperson" driving consumer purchase decisions and a critical touchpoint for the brand's first sensory interaction with the consumer.
JZ Health Industry Co., Ltd. understands that successful beverage packaging is the perfect fusion of dimension strategy and printing artistry. Only through their synergy can they create unique visual appeal and tactile experience, directly boosting the Pick-up Rate on the shelf.
Aluminum cans are not a "one-size-fits-all" generic packaging. Subtle differences in diameter and height not only affect supply chain compatibility but are also strategic elements for brand positioning and target volume selection.

A breakdown of the four global market mainstream aluminum can categories and their positioning:
Can Type | Key Descriptors | Common Volume Specifications (Metric) | Typical Application Scenarios |
Slim Can | Slender, Elongated | 185ml, 250ml | Energy Drinks, Concentrated Coffee, Small-Volume Juices, Airline Service |
Sleek Can | Stylish, Tall & Slim | 200ml, 250ml, 269ml, 310ml, 330ml, 355ml | Sparkling Water, Hard Seltzer, Craft Beer, Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Cocktails |
Standard Can | Classic, Standard | 250ml, 330ml, 355ml (12oz), 450ml, 473ml (16oz), 500ml | Carbonated Soft Drinks (Cola/Soda), Mass-Market Beer, Tea Drinks |
King Can | Oversized, Jumbo Can | 1000ml (1L) | Value-Priced Beer, Large-Volume Juices, Bulk Bottled Water |
JinZhou Industry’s Recommendation: When selecting the size, fully consider brand positioning (Slim/Sleek for premium routes, Standard for mass market) and international trade standards. It is crucial to clearly specify both milliliter (ml) and North American ounce (oz) specifications to ensure accurate supply chain alignment.
Traditional standard printing can no longer meet the differentiation needs of emerging brands on the shelf. Custom printing technology creates unique tactile and visual effects, achieving the strategic goal of "packaging as marketing" and significantly increasing the product's Shelf Purchase Rate.




JinZhou Industry offers the following four leading aluminum can printing technologies to help brands achieve sensory disruption:
Printing Technique (Finish) | Core Features and Value | Brand Sentiment and Application |
Glossy | Application of high-gloss varnish, providing a mirror-like reflective effect | Colors are more vibrant and saturated, conveying an impression of "Vibrancy," "Classic," and "Premium." Suitable for classic soft drinks that emphasize freshness. |
Matte | Utilization of dull/matte varnish, eliminating reflection and creating a soft texture | Imparts a subdued, high-end luxury feel to the packaging. Suitable for craft beer and cold-brew coffee that convey a "Craftsmanship" or "Minimalist" aesthetic. |
White Base | Pre-printing high-opacity white primer onto the aluminum material | Accurately restores printed patterns and brand colors. Often used by emerging brands seeking a "Fresh," "Macaron Color Palette," and is essential for achieving the Dopamine Aesthetic. |
Tactile | Use of special inks to create texture or embossing effects | Goes beyond visual appeal to directly engage the sense of touch. Conveys a "Sense of Power" through a rough texture or creates a high-premium, limited-edition collector's value. |
