A resin-coated metal sheet for can lids includes a metal sheet coated with thermoplastic resin films on both surfaces and formed into a can lid. A thermoplastic resin film A based on polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is heat-fused on a surface of the metal sheet serving as an exterior surface of the can lid, and a thermoplastic resin film B based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is heat-fused on a surface of the metal sheet serving as an interior surface of the can lid. A composition ratio (wt %) of PBT/PET in the thermoplastic resin film A on the exterior surface is (PBT/PET)=(40/60) to (80/20), and the thermoplastic resin film B on the interior surface includes 95 mol % or more of PET.

A can includes an at least partially electrically conductive body having a seal region delimited by a predetermined breaking edge on a front wall. An opening element bears against the front wall and is connected to the front wall at least at one point in an initial position. When the opening element is pivoted into an opening position, the seal region tears away at the predetermined breaking edge and forms an opening for emptying the contents of the can. The opening element has a metallic basic body which has a loop with an electrical interruption at one end region. An antenna and a transponder chip which is connected to the antenna are provided. The antenna bears at least partially against and is electrically insulated from the basic body. The antenna is free of interruptions, at least partially along the loop which is electrically interrupted by the interruption.

A container can end includes a concave dome shape and may forgo a peripheral reinforcing bead around the center panel. The tab may also be curved. Tooling for forming the end and a corresponding method are provided.

A crimping unit (1) having a first plate (10); a first lever (50) equipped with a winding wheel (54), a second lever (60) equipped with a crushing wheel (64), a winding actuator connected to the first lever (50), and a crushing actuator connected to the second lever (60). The winding actuator and the crushing actuator are governed by an electronic control unit (7) to vary the distance between the winding wheel (54) and/or the crushing wheel (65) of the first axis according to the angular position of the first plate (10) around the first axis.

The disclosed systems and methods relate to improved cases for securely storing and shipping products. A case can include a back panel, an upper foldable section, and a lower foldable section. Each of the features of the case can be manufactured on a single sheet of material. The upper and lower foldable sections include panels having apertures for holding the top and bottom of a product, respectively. The case is foldable into a closed configuration such that a lower holder panel, a lower front panel, and a bottom panel form a lower box configured to hold the bottom of the first product, and an upper holder panel, an upper front panel, and a top panel form an upper box configured to hold the top of the first product.

A beverage container for holding pressurized beverages, comprising a cylindrical metal construction, wherein the container side wall includes one or more indentations or indented shapes proximate the container bottom, wherein the indentations or shapes define the shape of a second pouring aperture when ruptured.

Thermoplastic containers comprising an integrated separating component, as well as methods for converting the thermoplastic containers from a three-dimensional configuration into a configuration for enhanced recyclability, are provided. Systems and methods involving the thermoplastic containers are also provided.

The invention comprises a peelable membrane for resealably closing a metal end comprising an outer layer, a tacky layer, and a heat seal layer. The heat seal layer is permanently sealed to the metal end to cover at least one opening in the metal end. The tacky layer causes the peelable membrane to be resealable onto the metal end.

A seamless can having a bottom section and a body section, wherein a thermoplastic resin coating is formed on an outer surface side of the can over a polyester-based paint film. The polyester-based paint film includes a polyester-based paint composition which contains a colorant in an amount of 20 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of a total resin solid content and a curing agent in an amount of 5 to 43 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of a polyester resin, and an entire outer surface of the can including the bottom section is colored. Also disclosed is a resin-coated metal sheet for forming a seamless can including the thermoplastic resin coating that is applied over a polyester-based paint film on a surface of the metal sheet, the polyester-based paint film having a thickness of 7 μm or less.

An aluminum can wherein, when the light reflected by the outer surface of the body portion of the aluminum can is evaluated based on the LCH method by using a multi-angle spectral colorimeter, the aluminum can features a ratio C.sub.15h/C.sub.15w of 0.6 to 1.4, the ratio C.sub.15h/C.sub.15w being that of a saturation value C.sub.15h of the light reflected at 15 degrees in the direction of height and a saturation value C.sub.15w of the light reflected at an angle 15 of degrees in the circumferential direction based on the light regularly reflected from the light that is incident at 45 degrees in the direction of height and in the circumferential direction.
