The invention refers to a can lid for an aluminum beverage can. The can lid has a pull tab, a chuck wall defining a plug diameter, a countersink and central panel having a panel radius. On the central panel, a score line defining a tear panel and a rivet for connecting a pull tab to the can lid are arranged. The rivet extends through a rivet island that is arranged between an opening part of the pull tab and a handle part of the pull tab. The lid has lid plug diameter of between 45 to 49 mm, an outside diameter of between 52 to 55 mm and a weight of less than 1.9 grams. The central panel has a thickness of less than 0.19 mm. The score line defines an area of between 300 mm.sup.2 to 350 mm.sup.2 and the score line has a shortest distance from the panel radius of less than 3 mm.

A can end (10) for a two-piece beverage container (1) has a public side (32) opposite a product side (34). A cured coating (76) is on the product side (34) of the can end (10) and forms a substantially continuous thin layer thereon. A circumferential curl (12) is centered about a longitudinal axis (50). A circumferential chuckwall (14) extends downwardly from the curl (12). A circumferential U-shaped countersink (16) is located downwardly from the chuckwall (14). The countersink (16) has an annular bead defining a lowermost vertical extent of the can end (10). A center panel (18) is located radially inwardly from the countersink (16) and is centered about the longitudinal axis (50). The center panel (18) has a means for providing an opening in the can end (10). A circumferential second coating (92) forms an annular layer on the product side (34) of the circumferential curl (12) and the cured coating (76). The second coating (92) provides a layer on one or more fractures in the cured coating (76).

A container transport system is provided that may comprise a support surface for supporting one or more stackable beverage containers; at least one aperture sized to accept a portion of one or more stackable beverage containers; a handle attached to the support surface for transporting the container transport apparatus system; and beverage containers attached to the container transport apparatus in a stacked configuration through the at least one aperture.

The present disclosure relates to a transport closure (1) for use in a packaging container (10) for bulk solids. The transport closure includes a laminate of a first layer (2) and a second layer (3). The first layer (2) is delimited by a first layer peripheral edge (4) and the second layer (3) is delimited by a second layer peripheral edge (5). The second layer (3) comprises or consists of a weldable material and the first layer (2) has higher tear strength than the second layer (2). The first layer (3) is provided with a weakening line (6) defining a pull-tab (7) in the first layer (3) and having a first and a second base point (6a,6b). The base points (6a,6b) are arranged at a base end (7b) of the pull-tab (7), opposite to a gripping end (7a) of the pull-tab (7).

An urging member and a can using such member as a base of the can, are provided for containing in the can a product comprising solid component(s) and liquid component(s). The can with the product, at least in a ready-for-sale state, comprises a lid hermetically sealing the can and at least partially openable to allow at least partial removal of the product, the base opposite the lid constituted by the member and a side wall extending therebetween. The member is for urging inwardly by a user applying, at least in use of the can when the lid has been at least partially opened, an urging force, allowing changing the state of the member between a first state, in which the can has a first contained volume and a second, deformed state, in which the can has a second contained volume smaller than the first contained volume.

A can lid (14) for an aluminum beverage can comprises a pull tab (38). Further, it has a chuck wall (26) defining a plug diameter, a countersink (28) and central panel (30) having a panel radius (48).
