CanReseal®
offers many different configurations to package your products:
CRE™ (CANRESEAL RING-END)
CRE™ turns cans into resealable cups, bowls, or jars. For a whole spectrum of applications, the CRE™ provides a compelling resealable container solution. Notably, the CRE™ configuration pushes current affordable can economics while adding value and functionality. The all-metal and resealable CRE™ lid and closure components do not require a “conversion process” typically associated with can end manufacturing.
Consumer appeal is increased with a larger, full-aperture drink opening to allow the most aromatics from beverages. The cup-like drinkability is also a welcomed attribute of the CRE’s design. The larger opening also ensures smooth pouring and excellent liquid flow without any undesired “glugging” of the product.
CEOE™ (CANRESEAL EASY-OPEN END)
The CEOE™ is the evolution of cans for food, pet food, and other general uses. The Easy-Open End has become the leading option due to consumer preference and convenience. The “self-opening” cans enable readily available access to the product without a can opener or similar tools
Depending on the product and sales channel, brands may choose to sell cans with an included reusable, dishwasher-safe closure. Unlike today’s overcaps, CanReseal® closures are designed to provide a reliable, airtight seal.
CSOT™ (CANRESEAL STAY-ON TOP)
The CSOT™ is the beverage can as it is known today - with the added resealability function needed for tomorrow. Suitable for sales channels where brands and consumers would benefit from the added resealability function.
The cost of a CSOT™ resealable lid and metal closure assembly is less than the cost of two traditional, lightweight SOT ends of the same size and specification. This highlights the favorable economics of Canovation’s answer to resealability.
CPO™ (CANRESEAL PEEL-OFF)
The CPO™ is intended for brands that may choose to use a peelable end for their products. This may be beneficial when there is a need for a peel-off cover that is soft, safe, and easy to recycle or dispose of. Consumers are also treated to an easy and smooth-to-open container.
Like on the CEOE™, the package may or may not include a closure depending on the product brand’s requirements. Like our other CanReseal® configurations, the CPO™ offers dependable and economical resealability
MANUFACTURING & RECYCLING COMPATIBILITY
MANUFACTURING
Key to its success and adoption is CanReseal’s® cost potential. Manufacturing and material use estimates strongly favor CanReseal® over all existing, fully resealable metal containers. In certain configurations, CanReseal’s® cost approximates that of traditional, non-resealable can ends of comparable specifications.
CanReseal® excels with production ideologies that are the same as conventional can ends, allowing it to take full advantage of established and mature manufacturing practices without the need for specialized equipment. CanReseal® may be produced at most existing manufacturing facilities worldwide with minimal tooling changes, making rapid, global adoption possible.
Both the CanReseal® lid and closure shells nest within each other and are compatible with conventional conveyance and processing systems. Sleeve palletizers, transport, seaming, and other supply-chain-related considerations are unaffected.
A driving factor during CanReseal®’s multi-year development was compatibility with existing processes at the can filler locations. CanReseal® ends and closures are generally symmetrical and will nest together to remain compatible with conventional feeding and seaming systems. CanReseal®’s design prioritizes the requirement to avoid major investments into the filler’s operations.
CanReseal® is compatible with industry-standard seamers with slight tooling optimization, making CanReseal® a drop-in solution with no requirement for specialized equipment or major investments in CAPEX at the filler or packager. It is also anticipated that CanReseal® will not cause a loss of efficiency or speed while filling.
RECYCLING
Here are some quick facts on the aluminum cans' already impressive recyclability:
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for 3 hours.
Aluminum cans can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality or value.
Recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce it from raw materials.
It only takes 60 days for a recycled aluminum can to find its way back onto store shelves.
The United States recycles nearly 50 billion aluminum cans annually.
