Highly-decorative steel packaging often requires a thermoformed cup or other barrier to protect the steel from corrosion.  But with aluminum containers, these same products can be packaged in the same fashion, but without the cost or secondary operations required to protect against corrosion. Each of the 6 aluminum containers feature unique size and characteristics to meet a wide range of applications.  All can be decorated with the company’s award-winning lithography.
